Then-Chief La’Ron Singletary, who was fired Monday, replied: "I totally agree." On one police report, an edit reads, "Make him a suspect" rather than simply referring to Prude as an individual, as the officer writing the report initially had. Other documents show police and city officials attempting to avoid releasing video of the encounter publicly. "This initial look has shown what so many have suspected, that we have a pervasive problem in the Rochester Police Department,” said Mayor Lovely Warren in announcing Singletary's termination. “One that views everything through the eyes of the badge and not the citizens we serve. It shows that Mr. Prude’s death was not taken as seriously as it should have been by those who reviewed the case throughout City government at every level.” Prude's death first made headlines only after his family released video of the police encounter this month; Warren says she did not get a full account of his death until August. But Singletary said in an April email that she "has been in the loop" since Prude was placed in police custody. (More Daniel Prude stories.)
