Protesters in upstate New York descended onto Rochester streets late Tuesday to voice their anger over a grand jury’s decision not to indict the Rochester cops involved in Daniel Prude’s death – with one claiming the “system did exactly what it was meant to do.” Hundreds of demonstrators gathered on the street where Prude,41, died in March several days following his encounter with police during a mental health episode, the Democrat and Chronicle reported. Activist Stanley Martin, a City Council candidate, was among the first to address those gathered in downtown Rochester and at the Public Safety Building — the site of two weeks of demonstrations after the release of video in early September that showed seven cops laughing at a naked Prude as he sat handcuffed. “White supremacy protests white supremacists,” Martin said.
