Signs of trouble before police pinned Prude naked on street

Daniel Prude appeared to be spiraling into crisis in the hours before police handcuffed him on a city street in March, then pinned the naked man face down. Prude apparently stopped breathing as police in Rochester, New York, were restraining him and died when he was taken off life support a week later. Prude's death and the actions of the police officers — who covered the man's head with a “spit hood” during the confrontation — have intensified the debate over whether police should be responding to calls about people suffering mental health crises.
