Violence
erupted Friday night and Saturday morning in Rochester, N.Y., amid a
third night of protests over the March death of Daniel T. Prude, a Black
man whom police hooded and pinned to the ground in a graphic video that
drew an outcry this week.
Screams rang out
as a driver collided with someone who tumbled over the car’s hood and
fell to the ground, in a scene mirroring other vehicles’ targeting of
protesters this summer. Three officers were hospitalized after
sustaining cuts, serious swelling, burns and bruises from “projectiles
and incendiary devices,” police told local news. A bus stop went up in flames, and patrons hurriedly left restaurants where people threw tables and broke glass amid protest chants.
