At least two young people are dead and 14 wounded in a mass shooting that took place early Saturday at a party in Rochester, New York, an upstate city that has been in turmoil since footage emerged this month of a police encounter with Daniel Prude in March.
According to the <a href="https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2020/09/19/rochester-mass-shooting-near-public-market/5836840002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Democrat &amp; Chronicle</a>, police were called around 12:25 a.m. to what one bystander called &#8220;a very chaotic scene&#8221; in the backyard of a residence in the Marketview Heights neighborhood. Shots rang out at the party where about 100 people were in attendance, and both of the victims were in their teens or early 20s.
Jasmin Lopez and John Santiago, who live a block away from where the shooting occurred, were awakened by gunshots and later found two teenagers hiding in their driveway. “You could see the fear in his eyes,&#8221; Santiago said. &#8220;He was scared.” The teens later drove away.
&#8220;There were kids throwing up, hiding between bushes, bleeding,&#8221; Lopez further described the scene. She also alleged that her first two calls to 911 were not answered.
&#8220;This is truly a tragedy of epic proportion,&#8221; Acting Police Chief Mark Simmons said at an early-morning news conference. &#8220;Sixteen victims is unheard of, and for our community, who&#8217;s right now going through so much, to have to be dealt with this tragedy, needlessly, for people who decide to act in a violent manner is unfortunate and shameful, and we&#8217;re going to do everything that we can as a department to bring those people involved to justice.&#8221;

Rochester&#8217;s Democrat Mayor Lovely Warren issued a statement on Saturday morning, which read:
<blockquote>
I’ve been briefed by Acting Police Chief Simmons on the shooting event which occurred on Pennsylvania Avenue in the City of Rochester. Our Pathways to Peace Team is on the ground and working with the victims and their families. I’m asking the community for prayers and support for all involved.
This tragic act of violence has impacted many people&#8217;s lives and families. I’m begging everyone to remain calm and exercise deep restraint as RPD investigates what happened here and seeks those responsible. As soon as additional information is available, the police department will provide updates on this matter. Please keep our city in your continual prayers.

Despite New Yorkers streaming out of the city because of COVID-19 and soaring crime rates, the City Council has decided to make residents pay more when they go to restaurants.
Under a new bill passed Wednesday by the City Council, New York restaurants will be allowed to add up to a 10% charge onto customers&#8217; tab. The bill passed on a 46-2 vote.
<div class="crd clln--it" data-type="text">
<div class=" crd--cnt ">
&#8220;The fee won’t be mandatory, and it can be any amount up to 10% of a food and drink bill. Restaurants&#8217; permission to charge the fee will expire 90 days after the state allows full occupancy of eateries,&#8221; the New York Daily News <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ny-nyc-council-passes-restaurant-fee-20200917-zbnrgadcrzgc7lwiz3vyynalnm-story.html">reported</a>. &#8220;Restaurant bills will have to be explicit about the amount of the charge and its purpose. Food trucks and restaurants that are part of national chains with 15 or more outlets will not be allowed to charge the fee.&#8221;
Councilman Joe Borelli of Staten Island, the bill&#8217;s sponsor, said the new fee will help restaurateurs who have been forced to close their businesses for months because of COVID-19 to recover. “This bill fundamentally is about saving the restaurant industry,” the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/09/16/new-nyc-bill-would-add-surcharge-to-restaurant-checks-amid-covid-19/">reported</a>.
“We’re trying to give restaurants the option of adding a surcharge to let their customers know they need to raise a little bit more money to make their ends meet,” he said.
Restaurants in the city remain closed, but can reopen for indoor dining at 25% capacity on Sept. 30. If things go well, that would move to 50% capacity a month later.
Andrew Rigie of the NYC Hospitality Alliance told The Post that he supports the bill on behalf of restaurant owners.
“The passage of the COVID recovery bill will help struggling restaurants generate additional revenue to help pay for expenses like PPE for their employees, outdoor dining setups, rent, labor and other expenses to give them a fighting chance of survival,” Rigie said.
The Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/11/new-yorkers-flee-nyc-in-droves/">reported</a> last month that &#8220;the exodus that began at the start of the coronavirus outbreak, with many New Yorkers departing to their beach and country homes, has continued unabated as more leave for good, according to city moving companies overwhelmed by the avalanche of would-be expats.&#8221;
<blockquote>“People are fleeing the city in droves,” says Moon Salahie, owner of Elite Moving &amp; Storing in Yonkers, who has been working nonstop since the city began Phase 1 of its reopening in June.</blockquote>
Meanwhile, crime is exploding in the city. The 2020 year-to-date total of shootings hit 540 shooting this week, far higher than last year at this time, when the city had seen 365 shootings, ABC-7 <a href="https://abc7ny.com/nyc-shootings-2020-last-night-this-week-in/6295510/">reported</a>.
NYPD Chief of Department Terry Monahan said bail reform, the George Floyd protests and anger at police is causing the spike.
&#8220;If you listen to the city council, they want less policing. They want to defund the police, but as I look out there right now with the violence going on, it&#8217;s not a good sign. We need some clarity from the city council and from the communities we serve, exactly how they want to be policed,&#8221; Monahan said.

A New York student was suspended from his high school for five days on Tuesday after showing up to campus on a day he was supposed to attend classes remotely.
Maverick Stow, 17, is a senior at William Floyd High School in Long Island. Stow said that he attended class on Tuesday because he believes that he should be in school five days a week as was policy before states began locking down over the coronavirus, according to <a href="https://abc7ny.com/education/district-suspends-student-for-attending-in-person-classes-on-remote-day/6414358/">WABC</a>.
Stow said he showed up to the school and had his temperature checked by staff before walking to his first class. Administrators called Stow to the principal’s office after his teacher noticed he was not on the roster to attend class in person that day.
The principal asked Stow to leave campus, to which he replied, “Well, no, I think I need to go class. This is during class time,” Stow said. He said he attended class for the rest of the day, but at the end the principal told him he was suspended for five days for violating the school’s coronavirus policy.
The school district said that students must adhere to a staggered remote/in-class schedule so that the school can comply with the state’s social distancing rules.
&#8220;In order to adhere to these guidelines, it is imperative that students attend school during their scheduled in-person days only,” William Floyd School District Public Relations Director James Montalto said. “Students who refuse to adhere to their scheduled in-person days and/or flagrantly disregard directives to leave school grounds and cause a disruptive environment for other students, will face disciplinary actions.”
Stow defended his decision to attend class in person, as did his parents.
“I was going to school like students should be going to school. I think that a five-day suspension is out of line,” he said. “The virus doesn&#8217;t discriminate on Mondays or Tuesdays or Thursdays or Fridays. That&#8217;s not how it works.”
Stow’s mother, Nora Kaplan-Stow, said, “Kids need to be in school every day. Virtual learning is not learning … My son is being suspended because he wants to be in school.”
His father, Richard Stow, said, “He’s a very smart kid. He knows what he’s doing. When he said this is how he wanted to handle things, we were like, ‘Then go for it.’”
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cdc-sides-with-trump-says-students-need-to-go-back-to-school">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention</a> (CDC) has recommended that states and communities push to open schools as soon as possible citing the relatively low risk the coronavirus poses to students.
“The best available evidence from countries that have opened schools indicates that COVID-19 poses low risks to school-aged children, at least in areas with low community transmission, and suggests that children are unlikely to be major drivers of the spread of the virus,” the CDC says in its guidance. “Reopening schools creates opportunity to invest in the education, well-being, and future of one of America’s greatest assets — our children — while taking every precaution to protect students, teachers, staff and all their families.”
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/american-academy-of-pediatrics-get-students-back-to-school-in-the-fall">American Academy of Pediatrics</a> has taken a similar position, citing the relatively high risk to students of depression, abuse, and other factors that increase as they spend more time away from school.

The city lawmakers of Buffalo, New York, approved a motion to expunge former President Millard Fillmore&#8217;s name from city-owned property because of his role in the Compromise of 1850.
According to local ABC affiliate WKBW, the Buffalo Common Council is also <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdGdPDsHdFvbvwtB5MEMrIiWbY1e2mkekA0Vf3cnK8sRq63gw/formResponse" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">seeking advice</a> from citizens regarding who should replace the 13th president, who was one of the town&#8217;s leading figures and played a role in founding some of its key institutions, such as Buffalo General Hospital and The University at Buffalo.
Fillmore&#8217;s legacy has become <a href="https://www.wkbw.com/news/local-news/should-millard-fillmores-name-be-removed-from-wny" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">problematic</a> ostensibly because of the Compromise of 1850, the major legislation of his short presidency. The Compromise, which included the controversial Fugitive Slave Act, sought to defuse the tension between the North and South as U.S. territory expanded after the Mexican-American War.
Buffalo&#8217;s Democrat Mayor Byron Brown said in a statement last month:
<div class="Page-body ArticlePage-articleBody" data-bsp-plugin="Module74674">
<div class="RichTextArticleBody">
<div class="RichTextArticleBody-body">
<blockquote>I have requested that the Buffalo Arts Commission review all statues and monuments with an eye toward evaluating the legacy of the honorees and making recommendations to re-purpose any that are undesirable historical figures.
I have asked that this review be done in the context of the time the person lived in and weighing their entire record. I have also asked the Buffalo History Museum to provide technical assistance to the Arts Commission and advise the city of Buffalo on the historical significance of these individuals and how to place their lives in proper perspective.
Through this process, I also want to bring the stories of other worthy individuals who are black, Native American, minority and women to light, so that their stories will be told and they receive proper recognition.
One person who I would like to see recognized with a statue in Buffalo is Mary Burnett Talbert, 1866-1923. She was an orator, activist, suffragist, writer and reformer. As a Buffalo resident Mary B. Talbert was an international icon and one of best known African Americans and women of her time. She was a founder of the Niagara Movement, the precursor organization to the NAACP.</blockquote>
As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/university-at-buffalo-scrubbing-millard-fillmores-name-to-purge-systemic-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reported</a> last month, the University at Buffalo (UB) also agreed to scrub from their buildings any mention of Fillmore, though he helped to found the institution.
Despite criticism for the Compromise of 1850, some historians credit it with postponing the Civil War. Professor James Campbell, a professor at UB, told <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/university-at-buffalo-to-remove-u-s-president-millard-fillmores-name-from-campus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The College Fix</a> he thought the decision to remove Fillmore from the school was “terrible,” adding:
<blockquote>The nation was better off because of Fillmore’s service as president—and that includes the black Americans who were not traded as slaves in DC because of the Compromise, the black Americans who were not held as slaves in southern California because of California’s admission as a free state because of the Compromise, and the black Americans not held in slavery because the western boundaries of the slave state of Texas were greatly reduced because of the Compromise.
Most of all, the North was in a stronger position to win the Civil War and end slavery ten years later because of Fillmore’s support for the Compromise. None of this would have happened without Fillmore taking the stand he did. And how do we show our gratitude? It’s not right.</blockquote>

Four Brooklyn firefighters, witnessing a man on a bicycle slug a 60-year-old woman as he rode by her in front of their firehouse, chased him down and restrained him until the police arrived. Then, thanks to New York’s criminal justice system, only days later, the suspect, who reportedly had 18 prior arrests from robbery to assault and was arrested on August 2 for allegedly slashing a man in the face, was released without bail after a return court appearance.
On August 26, the heroic firefighters from Engine Company 214/Ladder 111 saw Daniel Biggs, 53, bicycle past a 60-year-old woman and punch her in the mouth before the firefighters chased Biggs and caught him.
“Biggs, of Brooklyn, was charged with assault, menacing, harassment and attempted assault. He was arraigned the following day and ordered held on $20,000, but was released without bail after a return court appearance four days later, court records show,” <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/09/08/fdny-firefighters-nab-man-who-sucker-punched-elderly-woman/">the New York Post</a> reported.
“Police say while trying to restrain the suspect, a 29-year-old firefighter was punched in the eye, causing bruising and swelling,” <a href="https://www.wmcactionnews5.com/2020/09/08/watch-firefighters-take-down-suspect-accused-punching-woman-face/">WMCA Action News 5</a> reports.
Twin Alzokari, who works at J&amp;A Deli and Grocery, near the firehouse, stated, “It’s bad. You can’t hit a woman. She’s very nice. The whole family, I know them. I grew up with them … I just see the guy running with the bike, and I see the fire department came after him. You feel safe. They’re always helping the community, and that’s a very, very good job that they did.”
In early January, Barry Latzer, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY, commented on the bail reform instituted in New York City. He explained in <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/01/new-york-state-bail-reform-law-wont-work/">National Review</a>:
<blockquote>The new law prohibits arraignment judges (the ones that handle an arrested person’s first court appearance) from demanding bail for certain defendants or remanding them to jail. Instead, they must release the defendant on his own recognizance (ROR). This release order supposedly does not apply to violent felony offenders. However, numerous crimes of violence or potential violence are found among the state’s so-called nonviolent felonies, including certain robberies, rapes, and assaults.
And judges in New York — unlike judges in 46 other states — may not take public safety into account when deciding whether or not to release someone. While New York law directs arraignment judges to focus on the likelihood of return when ruling on release, it does not provide for an assessment of the risk of nonappearance.</blockquote>
He concluded, “It is true that defendants who have been arrested but not yet convicted should not be punished. It is also true that without some security — cash deposits, bail, or jail — many thousands of these defendants will never show up for their day in court, and some will commit additional crimes once freed. The balance between individual rights and public safety is best achieved by letting the judges determine on a case-by-case basis who is a flight risk or a danger to the public and helping them make this determination through data-based assessments. Top-down, arbitrary decision-making by state government simply won’t work.”

Following an evening of violent unrest in Rochester, New York, Democrat State Attorney General Letitia James announced Saturday that a grand jury would be empaneled as part of the investigation into the death of Daniel Prude, a 41-year-old black man who died following an interaction with several police officers in New York in March. 
“The Prude family and the Rochester community have been through great pain and anguish,” said James. “My office will immediately move to empanel a grand jury as part of our exhaustive investigation into this matter.”
Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who called for a grand jury empanelment earlier this week, lauded James for her decision, saying “justice delayed is justice denied and the people of New York deserve the truth.&#8221;
Unrest in Rochester began earlier this week, after body camera footage of Prude’s interaction with police officers was released to the public by the late man’s family, who reportedly obtained it through a public records request, reports <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/04/nyregion/rochester-police-daniel-prude.html">The New York Times</a>. 
The bodycam footage shows Prude in handcuffs, fully naked, on the floor of the street, and in the middle of the night in what appears to be a mix of rain and snow. In the video, Prude can be heard shouting various statements, such as “give me your gun, I need it,” and “I’m killing everybody in that house, man.”
As The Daily Wire previously reported: 
<blockquote>As cops were physically restraining the man for about two minutes, body camera footage (which can be viewed below) and media reports suggest the 41-year-old threw up and loss consciousness. He was reportedly resuscitated on the way to the hospital but likely suffered severe brain damage and was pulled from life support about a week later by his family.
Notably, Prude has a mesh-like hood placed over his head, dubbed a “spit hood.” The device is used to protect officers from saliva. Prude was repeatedly spitting and reportedly telling people he had COVID. (The interaction with police was in March, at the height of the novel coronavirus pandemic.)</blockquote>
The Monroe County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled Prude’s death a homicide, per lawyer’s for his family, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/04/us/daniel-prude-body-cam-details/index.html">CNN</a>. The medical examiner found the death was caused by asphyxiation, and also cited excited delirium and acute PCP intoxication as contributing factors, report the news agency. 
Since the release of the video and medical examiner’s report earlier this week, seven officers involved in the incident have been suspended. Michael Mazzaeo, president of the Rochester Police Locust Club, told <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-54035530">BBC</a> on Friday that the police officers appear to have acted within protocol for the situation. 
&#8220;To me, it looks like they were watching the training in front of them,&#8221; said Mazzaeo. &#8220;If there&#8217;s a problem with that, let&#8217;s change it.&#8221;

An assistant principal at a high school in a suburb of Rochester, New York, live-streamed himself attending a Black Lives Matter protest. In the nearly 50-second stream, the administrator tells the public what a &#8220;s***ty a** job&#8221; the Rochester Police Department (RPD) was allegedly doing, adding, &#8220;f*** the police,&#8221; and noting that the RPD &#8220;can f*** right off, America!&#8221;
As confirmed on the school&#8217;s website, Steve Lysenko is the 9th grade and Academy Assistant Principal at Spencerport High School. The left-wing activist also identified himself as the &#8220;president of the local chapter of the national association for multicultural education&#8221; via livestream.
&#8220;Good evening, folks, it&#8217;s Steve Lysenko, president of the local chapter of the national association for multicultural education,&#8221; the administrator started the livestream (see video below). &#8220;In an act of protest this evening, we marched west on Court Street, and we didn&#8217;t do anything but chant and sing all the way &#8212; halfway across the bridge, at which point we met the Rochester Police Department.&#8221;
&#8220;And guess what happened?&#8221; Lysenko continued. &#8220;Our &#8216;peacekeepers&#8217; ended up shooting pepper spray at us for singing and chanting and telling them what a s***ty a** job they were doing. They can f*** right off, America. F*** the police! F*** the Rochester Police Department!&#8221;

Lysenko was protesting the death of Daniel Prude, a 41-year-old black male who died seven days after an interaction with the RPD back in March, at the height of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
An autopsy report from the Monroe County Medical Examiner’s Office, <a href="https://www.wxxinews.org/post/daniel-prude-was-suffocated-rochester-police-his-family-says">according</a> to WXXI News, “listed the cause of Prude’s death as ‘complications of asphyxia in the setting of physical restraint due to excited delirium due to acute phencyclidine intoxication,’ an indication that Prude might have been high on PCP.”
As <a href="https://www.wxxinews.org/post/daniel-prude-was-suffocated-rochester-police-his-family-says">highlighted</a> by WXXI News, police reports indicate Prude had apparently “gone on a destructive tear,” “smashing out the windows of several storefronts, and ranting about having the coronavirus” before police came in contact with him.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daniel-prude-police-body-cam-footage-autopsy-released">The Daily Wire</a> reported Friday on the interaction with Prude and law enforcement from March:
<blockquote>Back in March, at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, Daniel Prude, a black male, interacted with officers from the Rochester Police Department (RPD) in New York after at least two people called 911 about Prude’s behavior and welfare, included Prude’s own brother, Joe Prude.
Police reports indicate Prude was restrained by officers while waiting for the ambulance the cops summoned — video (below) suggests this was done soon after Prude told officers, “Give me your gun, I need it.”
As <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisettevoytko/2020/09/03/daniel-prudes-autopsy-report-says-excited-delirium-a-controversial-diagnosis-contributed-to-his-death/#50fed9951784">noted</a> by Forbes, Prude “had been taken to the local hospital for suicidal thoughts about eight hours before his encounter with police on March 22.”
As cops were physically restraining the man for about two minutes, body camera footage (which can be viewed below) and media reports suggest the 41-year-old threw up and loss consciousness. He was reportedly resuscitated on the way to the hospital but likely suffered severe brain damage and was pulled from life support about a week later by his family.

Approximately 150 Black Lives Matter rioters smashed and vandalized several businesses and banks in Lower Manhattan on Friday night, costing residents and business owners tens of thousands of dollars in damages.
Police sources told the <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/09/05/black-lives-matter-protesters-riot-in-manhattan-cause-100000-damage/">New York Post</a> that the total cost of damages from one night of rioting in Manhattan caused an estimated $100,000 in damages. The riot grew out of a Black Lives Matter protest over the death of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daniel-prude-police-body-cam-footage-autopsy-released">Daniel Prude</a>.
The New York City Police Department arrested eight people in connection with the destruction, which hit at least eight businesses and banks in Manhattan. One person arrested was from Iowa, while another traveled from Portland, Oregon. All of the suspects were charged with rioting and some were hit with additional charges of weapons and burglary tools possession.
Renewed civil unrest has rocked parts of New York since a video of Prude’s arrest in March was released on Wednesday. On March 23, two people, including Prude’s brother, called the police saying that Prude was behaving erratically and suffering from mental health issues. Prude had been running a neighborhood in Rochester, New York, naked and screaming at people that he had COVID-19.
The video released on Wednesday shows police cuffing a naked Prude and leaving him on the ground. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rochester-hospital-david-prudes-care-medically-appropriate-and-compassionate">Prude</a> challenges the surrounding officers and demands a gun.
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-car-drives-through-daniel-prude-protesters-in-nyc">The Daily Wire</a> reports:
<blockquote>As cops were physically restraining the man for about two minutes, body camera footage … and media reports suggest the 41-year-old threw up and loss consciousness. He was reportedly resuscitated on the way to the hospital but likely suffered severe brain damage and was pulled from life support about a week later by his family.
Notably, Prude has a mesh-like hood placed over his head, dubbed a “spit hood.” The device is used to protect officers from saliva. Prude was repeatedly spitting and reportedly telling people he had COVID.</blockquote>
The Monroe County Medical Examiner’s Office found that Prude had died from “complications of asphyxia in the setting of physical restraint due to excited delirium due to acute phencyclidine intoxication,” which indicates that Prude may have been high on PCP at the time of his arrest.
Black Lives Matter protesters and rioters have taken to the streets of New York City and Rochester, vandalizing businesses and smashing windows. On Friday night, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-far-left-black-lives-matter-storms-rochester-people-climb-on-homes-trash-businesses?%3Futm_source=twitter">rioters in Rochester</a> harassed numerous people dining out at restaurants. Several people attempted to break into an apartment building while others set fire to a bus stop.
On Thursday, one man in Rochester voiced his anger to Spectrum News reporter Brianna Hamblin and called for the entire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ny-heats-up-over-daniel-prude-we-gonna-put-matters-into-our-own-hands-if-justice-dont-come-we-got-100000-deep-ready">police force to resign</a>, saying, “We want badges, we want Chief of Police badges. We want it because they swept this under the rug.”
“Black lives do matter, okay? We want to see those officers arrested, and if we don’t—we tired. We are tired. We tired of it, man,” he continued. “They act like black people—we want justice all over the world, we want equal pay, we want equal rights, when you go to court, we wanna be treated equal.”

Friday evening, the city of Rochester, New York, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-far-left-black-lives-matter-storms-rochester-people-climb-on-homes-trash-businesses">exploded in violence</a>, as far-left Black Lives Matter rioters chased customers out of restaurants, broke windows, set bus stations aflame, and climbed on top of houses over the death of a 41-year-old man named Daniel Prude, who is black.
Prude died seven days after an interaction with Rochester police officers back in March, at the height of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
A statement released Friday from the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), which encompasses Strong Memorial Hospital, where Prude was treated, pushed back on the mainstream narrative that Mr. Prude was not adequately cared for, supposedly due to the color of his skin.
Prude&#8217;s care, URMC said, was &#8220;medically appropriate and compassionate,&#8221; adding that they are unable to disclose detail about the care due to privacy constraints. The statement noted that the Prude family has been asked to sign off on a HIPPA release so Strong Hospital can release information to the public.
URMC has also offered the Prude family to sit with them and discuss any concerns they have.
&#8220;URMC does not agree that the care our hospital provided in this case is an example of the systemic shortfalls we all want to address. Based on our review, we believe his care was medically appropriate and compassionate,&#8221; reads the statement from URMC, <a href="https://www.whec.com/rochester-new-york-news/urmc-daniel-prudes-care-was-medically-appropriate-and-compassionate-/5852096/">according</a> to News 10 NBC.
&#8220;As we said Thursday in extending our deepest sympathies to the Prude family, privacy laws prevent us from discussing Daniel Prude’s evaluation or treatment at Strong Memorial Hospital,&#8221; URMC continued. &#8220;While reviewing his case internally, we have asked the family to meet with us so that we can answer any questions they have about his care.&#8221;
&#8220;In addition, we have sent a HIPAA release form to the Prude family, asking permission to share information about Daniel Prude’s care as part of this important community and national conversation,&#8221; the medical center added.
An autopsy report from the Monroe County Medical Examiner’s Office, <a href="https://www.wxxinews.org/post/daniel-prude-was-suffocated-rochester-police-his-family-says">according</a> to WXXI News, “listed the cause of Prude’s death as ‘complications of asphyxia in the setting of physical restraint due to excited delirium due to acute phencyclidine intoxication,’ an indication that Prude might have been high on PCP.”

Far-left Black Lives Matter activists stormed Rochester, New York, on Friday night, trashing businesses, harassing customers, lighting fires and setting off fireworks.
Videos of the chaos in Rochester have been posted online. President Donald Trump retweeted one of the videos to which someone had commented, &#8220;&#8216;Thank you&#8217; &#8211; Trump campaign ad team.&#8221;

The latest round of far-left violence broke out in response to a black man who died after he was taken into police custody months ago. The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daniel-prude-police-body-cam-footage-autopsy-released">reported</a>:
<blockquote>Back in March, at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, Daniel Prude, a black male, interacted with officers from the Rochester Police Department (RPD) in New York after at least two people called 911 about Prude’s behavior and welfare, included Prude’s own brother, Joe Prude.
Police reports indicate Prude was restrained by officers while waiting for the ambulance the cops summoned — video (below) suggests this was done soon after Prude told officers, “Give me your gun, I need it.”
As noted by Forbes, Prude “had been taken to the local hospital for suicidal thoughts about eight hours before his encounter with police on March 22.”
As cops were physically restraining the man for about two minutes, body camera footage (which can be viewed below) and media reports suggest the 41-year-old threw up and loss consciousness. He was reportedly resuscitated on the way to the hospital but likely suffered severe brain damage and was pulled from life support about a week later by his family.
Notably, Prude has a mesh-like hood placed over his head, dubbed a “spit hood.” The device is used to protect officers from saliva. Prude was repeatedly spitting and reportedly telling people he had COVID. (The interaction with police was in March, at the height of the novel coronavirus pandemic.)
An autopsy report from the Monroe County Medical Examiner’s Office, according to WXXI News, “listed the cause of Prude’s death as ‘complications of asphyxia in the setting of physical restraint due to excited delirium due to acute phencyclidine intoxication,’ an indication that Prude might have been high on PCP.”</blockquote>
One man upset about the incident <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ny-heats-up-over-daniel-prude-we-gonna-put-matters-into-our-own-hands-if-justice-dont-come-we-got-100000-deep-ready">suggested</a> to a reporter on camera Thursday that racially-charged violence would be the response if “justice” does not come.
“Black lives do matter, okay? We want to see those officers arrested, and if we don’t—we tired. We are tired. We tired of it, man,” the man said. “They act like black people—we want justice all over the world, we want equal pay, we want equal rights, when you go to court, we wanna be treated equal.”
“It’s unequal all the way across the board,” he said. “We tired of it. Black lives do matter, okay? We tired of these police killing people.”
“We gonna put matters into our own hands if justice don’t come,” he added. “I’m being honest with you. We got a 100,000 deep, ready. Ya’ll need to know that.”

Protesting has broken out in Rochester, New York, over the recent release of body camera footage related to an interaction Rochester police officers had back in March with a 41-year-old man named <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daniel-prude-police-body-cam-footage-autopsy-released">Daniel Prude</a>, who died seven days later.
One man upset about the incident and the alleged cover-up by city officials suggested to a reporter on camera Thursday that racially-charged violence would be the response if &#8220;justice&#8221; does not come.
&#8220;Justice,&#8221; outlined by the man, includes the removal of Rochester Police Chief La’Ron Singletary, who is black, and the arrest of the officers involved in the interaction.
&#8220;We want badges, we want Chief of Police badges,&#8221; the man told Spectrum News reported Brianna Hamblin. &#8220;We want it because they swept this under the rug.&#8221;
&#8220;Black lives do matter, okay? We want to see those officers arrested, and if we don&#8217;t &#8212; We tired. We are tired. We tired of it, man,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;They act like black people &#8212; we want justice all over the world, we want equal pay, we want equal rights, when you go to court, we wanna be treated equal.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s unequal all the way across the board,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We tired of it. Black lives do matter, okay? We tired of these police killing people.&#8221;
&#8220;We gonna put matters into our own hands if justice don&#8217;t come,&#8221; he told Hamblin. &#8220;I&#8217;m being honest with you. We got a 100,000 deep, ready. Ya&#8217;ll need to know that.&#8221;
When the reporter asks the man his name, he speeds off and seemingly tells her, &#8220;Ya&#8217;ll don&#8217;t need to know that.&#8221;
Hamblin captioned the video post: &#8220;Man passing by the memorial saying he wants the officers who arrested Daniel Prude to resign because &#8216;they swept this under the rug.'&#8221;

According to media reports, officers were alerted to Prude&#8217;s erratic, destructive, and potentially self-harming behavior by at least two people, one of whom was his brother, Joe Prude.
During the interaction, Prude was completely nude and spewing vulgarities, spitting, telling officers to give him their guns, and seemingly high on PCP. While officers were restraining Prude as they were waiting for an ambulance, the man fell unconscious and stopped breathing. Prude was resuscitated on the way to the hospital but was left with severe brain damage. His family took him off life support about a week later.
An autopsy report from the Monroe County Medical Examiner’s Office, <a href="https://www.wxxinews.org/post/daniel-prude-was-suffocated-rochester-police-his-family-says">according</a> to WXXI News, “listed the cause of Prude’s death as ‘complications of asphyxia in the setting of physical restraint due to excited delirium due to acute phencyclidine intoxication,’ an indication that Prude might have been high on PCP.”

NY Heats Up Over Daniel Prude: ‘We Gonna Put Matters Into Our Own Hands If Justice Don’t Come,’ ‘We Got 100,000 Deep, Ready’

Talk about a &#8220;Dead Pool.&#8221;
A bar on Long Island, NY,  has set up a betting pool &#8212; similar to the kind used for the Super Bowl &#8212; in which patrons pick the number of shootings that will occur in Chicago and New York City over the three-day Labor Day weekend.
Beneath the scoreboard, it says &#8220;Numbers are up early. Let the shooting sprees begin!&#8221; <a href="https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/li-bar-is-taking-bets-on-which-city-will-have-more-shootings-over-labor-day-weekend/2595507/">reports</a> NBC-4 in New York.
An Instagram post from last week showed the purchased boxes of bets, with a photo listing the rules of the gambling pool and setting out that the official count of deaths and shootings will be obtained from the New York Times and The Chicago Tribune, MSNBC <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/foodnews/patchogue-bar-spurs-controversy-with-shooting-death-gambling-pool/ar-BB18yMlu">reported</a>.
The bar in Patchogue, called The Cliffton, posted the game on Facebook, which drew criticism.
Mayor Paul Pontieri called the betting pool &#8220;foolish at best and disgusting at its worst because it isn&#8217;t what we are about&#8230;It&#8217;s not going to be tolerated and it shouldn&#8217;t be tolerated.&#8221;
Pontieri urged police and the state liquor authority to investigate because gambling at the bar is illegal.
The Long Island Chapter of the Brady Campaign Against Gun Violence also asked Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to probe the matter. “This is the kind of place that needs to be boycotted,” said the gun-control advocacy group.
The betting pool drew other criticism. &#8220;Racist and transphobic. Absolutely disgusting place and staff who represent the worst type of people that LI has to offer,&#8221; one person wrote on Facebook.
The bar courted controversy last year after it published a social media post that included a transphobic joke about two bar patrons and customers complained.
&#8220;Why does this not surprise me from a bar that waves a Trump 2020 flag outside of it out in Patchogue. They&#8217;re running a gambling pool for the amount of shooting deaths labor day weekend comparing NY and Chicago. They&#8217;re even cutting money off the top for themselves,&#8221; wrote another person.
Ten people were killed and 45 more, including two Chicago police officers and a 15-year-old boy, were wounded in shootings across Chicago over the past weekend.
Chicago officials raised bridges and shut down some train and bus service last month after a night of rioting and looting caused widespread damage in the city’s downtown and along the Magnificent Mile shopping district.
Rioters and looters rampaged through Chicago’s Magnificent Mile shopping district, sparked by a shooting by a police officer hours earlier that left a young man wounded. Social media exploded with videos showing hundreds of people looting stores such as Apple, Macy’s, Nordstrom, Best Buy, Coach, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton. In some videos, gunfire can be heard.
&#8220;Chicago had 105 murders in July, more than double the 44 in July 2019, and 584 shooting victims is also up dramatically from the same period last year, with 308 reported in July 2019. July was the most violent month in 28 years, <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-weekend-shooting-20200803-xkevk64unvdijfzboyyn4vowly-story.html">according</a> to the Chicago Tribune.
Things are just as bad in New York City. There was a 177% increase year-over-year in the number of shooting incidents across the city in July, with 244 in total, amny.com <a href="https://www.amny.com/police-fire/crime-stats-show-that-shootings-are-skyrocketing-compared-to-july-last-year/">reported</a>. &#8220;In July 2019, there were only 88 shootings over the course of the month. The number of shootings increased by 72% year-to-date, with 450 by July 2019 to 772 by July 2020.&#8221;

New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, apparently decided to wait until the Republican National Convention kicked off in Charlotte on Monday to announce that she was taking action against the Trump Organization.
&#8220;I took action to force the Trump Organization, and specifically EVP Eric Trump, to comply with my office’s ongoing investigation into its financial dealings,&#8221; James said in a statement. &#8220;For months, the Trump Organization has failed to fully comply with our subpoenas in this investigation.&#8221;
&#8220;Our investigation began after Michael Cohen testified before Congress that Trump’s annual financial statements inflated the values of his assets to obtain favorable terms for loans &amp; insurance coverage, while also deflating the value of other assets to reduce real estate taxes,&#8221; James continued. &#8220;We are seeking thousands of documents and testimony from multiple witnesses regarding several Trump Organization properties and transactions, including from Eric Trump, who was intimately involved in one or more transactions under review.&#8221;
&#8220;The Trump Organization has stalled, withheld documents, and instructed witnesses, including Eric Trump, to refuse to answer questions under oath,&#8221; James claimed. &#8220;That&#8217;s why we filed a motion to compel the Trump Organization to comply with our lawful subpoenas for documents and testimony.&#8221;
James&#8217; lawsuit against the Trump Organization comes at the same time that the Republican National Convention kicked off in Charlotte on Monday as President Donald Trump seeks re-election.
James has been accused of using her office as a law enforcement official in the state of New York to go after political opponents.
James, who was elected in 2018, made controversial remarks during an interview to NBC News after being elected, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/incoming-new-york-attorney-general-plans-wide-ranging-investigations-trump-n946706">saying</a> that she planned to &#8220;use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions and that of his family as well.&#8221;
The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/31/nyregion/tish-james-attorney-general-trump.html">reported</a> that, according to legal experts, &#8220;Her strident attacks on the president could potentially threaten the legal standing of cases that her office brings against Mr. Trump, his family members or their business interests.&#8221; The Times added that James claims that Trump is an &#8220;illegitimate president,&#8221; which is false.
Daniel Goldman, who was one of the Democrats&#8217; witnesses against Trump during the impeachment hearings, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/31/nyregion/tish-james-attorney-general-trump.html">said</a> that James&#8217; targeting of Trump looked like “an individualized political vendetta.”
“If there were to be a motion to dismiss because of bias, the attorney general’s office would have to show a stronger factual basis for the legal issue,” Goldman said. “If there is a close call along the way, it could have an impact on the way a judge rules.”
James was widely accused of using her office to ruin political opponents when she filed a lawsuit last month in an attempt to destroy the National Rifle Association (NRA), America&#8217;s largest Second Amendment advocacy group.
Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) Chairman Louisiana Attorney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republican-attorneys-general-association-shreds-ny-ag-abusing-her-power-to-target-a-political-adversary">blasted</a> James’ “manipulation of our legal system for political gain” in a statement in response to her targeting of the NRA.
“Lawless liberals have hit a new low in their pursuit of defunding the police, discarding the Second Amendment, and deterring our ability to protect ourselves,” Landry wrote. “The New York Attorney General is shamefully abusing her power to target a political adversary, the same way a Saint Louis prosecutor did last month when she took guns away from citizens trying to protect themselves. This action is no different than what Democrats did during the shameful impeachment of President Trump: an attempt to use the levers of government to go after political opponents.”
“From their endorsement of the ‘defund the police’ movement to cancelling our Founding Fathers, and now cancelling our founding principles, there has been a troubling pattern from the Democrat attorneys general in recent months,” Landry continued. “We must stop the madness. Fortunately, the American people can read the tea leaves of this lawsuit – it is a partisan hit job aimed at empowering the mob and endangering law abiding citizens, who respect the Second Amendment.”

Celebrities from out of state attending the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) in New York will not have to entirely quarantine themselves for 14 days, as most others traveling to the state are required to do at threat of $10,000 in fines and up to 15 days behind bars.
<a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/22/visiting-vma-stars-get-a-pass-on-nyc-covid-19-quarantine-rules/">According</a> to The New York Post, celebrities attending the award show have been granted special exemptions to coronavirus-related quarantine rules from the New York State Department of Health.
A spokesperson for Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said the stars can “participate in the production of the show, but they will only interact with other members of the cast and crew and will quarantine when not working,&#8221; the Post reported.
The VMAs &#8220;agreed to police itself with &#8216;rigorous safety protocols including testing and screening and compliance checks by a special compliance officer,'&#8221; the report added.
If you are not a celebrity attending the VMAs, or offered some other exemption, and are traveling from any of the dozens of states Cuomo has deemed a coronavirus &#8220;hot&#8221; zone, you&#8217;ll have to fill out a form disclosing your travel and agree to quarantine for 14 days. If you fail to report yourself, you could find yourself facing a $2,000 fine and potentially &#8220;ordered to complete mandatory quarantine.&#8221;
&#8220;All out-of-state travelers from designated states must complete the form upon entering New York,&#8221; the state&#8217;s health department travel guidance says. &#8220;Travelers who leave the airport without completing the form will be subject to a $2,000 fine and may be brought to a hearing and ordered to complete mandatory quarantine. Travelers coming to New York from designated states through other means of transport, including trains and cars, must fill out the form online.&#8221;
According to the Post, some &#8220;415,000 travelers flying or driving into New York since June 25 after visiting one of the  34 restricted states have &#8216;voluntarily&#8217; filled out health forms as of Friday, state officials said.&#8221;
“Do you consent to receive daily monitoring messages via text from the New York State Contact Tracing Program?” the form asks, in part.
The strict 14-day self-quarantine must include separation from others in your home and forgoing grocery stores and other places for even essential items. Those items, instead,
must be delivered to you.
If you fail to self-isolate as the state requires, (and you&#8217;re not, say, a celebrity with special exemption), you could be hit with fines up to $10,000 and face time behind bars, according to the Post.
The executive over reads: &#8220;Any violation of a quarantine or isolation order issued to an individual pursuant to the Commissioner of the Department of Health&#8217;s travel advisory by a local department of health or state department of health may be enforced pursuant to article 21 of the public health law, and non-compliance may additionally be deemed a violation pursuant to section 12 of the public health law subject to a civil penalty of up to $10,000.&#8221;
There are currently over 30 states and territories &#8212; including home to many stars, California &#8212; that are considered coronavirus hot zones per Cuomo’s <a href="https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/no-205-quarantine-restrictions-travelers-arriving-new-york">Executive Order 205</a>, which was issued June 25.

The Trump administration will implement new mandatory federal COVID-19 testing and reporting rules for nursing homes this week in an effort to prevent the death toll that occurred in New York at the height of the virus, a new report says.
The new rules will mandate that all nursing homes offer coronavirus tests to patients if anyone in the facility contracts COVID-19 or exhibits symptoms, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/24/feds-imposing-new-testing-rules-in-wake-of-cuomos-nursing-home-fiasco/">reports</a>. The nursing homes will be required to report test results in most cases.
“These new rules represent a dramatic ramp-up in our efforts to track and control the spread of COVID-19, especially in nursing homes,” Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services Administrator Seema Verma said in a statement.
&#8220;One administration official was more blunt in describing the changes. &#8216;President Trump is mandating everything Gov. Cuomo failed to do in order to protect America’s seniors from this virus,&#8217; the official said,&#8221; according to The Post.
In March, Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered nursing homes to accept people even if they tested positive for the virus. “No resident shall be denied readmission or admission to the NH [nursing home] solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19. NHs are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission,” read Cuomo’s order.
&#8220;During this global health emergency, all NHs must comply with the expedited receipt of residents returning from hospitals to NHs. Residents are deemed appropriate for return to a NH upon a determination by the hospital physician or designee that the resident is medically stable for return,” said the order, which The Associated Press reported sent &#8220;6,300 infected people to nursing homes during the crisis has been blamed in part for the higher death rate in New York.&#8221;
On May 11, Cuomo reversed the March 25 order that forced nursing homes to accept patients who tested positive for coronavirus despite testing deficiencies for both residents and staff.
The order has disappeared from the state&#8217;s health department web page. &#8220;The <a href="https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2020/03/doh_covid19-_nhadmissionsreadmissions_-032520.pdf">webpage</a> that once contained the order now directs to a page indicating that the file is ‘not found.’ The archive indicates that the deletion occurred sometime after May 5, around the time that criticism over New York’s nursing home fatalities intensified,” Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-york-health-website-deletes-cuomos-order-on-nursing-homes">reported</a>.
The AP this month detailed nursing home deaths in New York in a piece headlined, &#8220;New York’s true nursing home death toll cloaked in secrecy.&#8221;
&#8220;For all 43 states that break out nursing home data, resident deaths make up 44% of total COVID deaths in their states, according to data from the Kaiser Family Foundation. Assuming the same proportion held in New York, that would translate to more than 11,000 nursing home deaths,&#8221; the AP said.
<blockquote>Nearly every time Cuomo is questioned about New York’s nursing home death toll, he brushes off criticism as politically motivated and notes that his state’s percentage of nursing home deaths out of its overall COVID-19 death toll is around 20%, far less than Pennsylvania’s 68%, Massachusetts’ 64% and New Jersey’s 44%.
“Look at the basic facts where New York is versus other states,” Cuomo said during a briefing Monday. “You look at where New York is as a percentage of nursing home deaths, it’s all the way at the bottom of the list.”</blockquote>

Wealthy party hosts in the Hamptons are hiring “medical concierge services” to rapidly test guests for coronavirus before letting them enjoy the festivities.
The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/16/style/does-rapid-covid-testing-work-weddings-parties.html">spoke</a> to Dr. Asma Rashid, who runs one of these “members-only” companies and said she has been invited to elite parties all summer.
“We’ve gone to these private, private, private events, where they have me sign a ‘nothing you see in this house can be leaked’ document,” she told the Times. “This is still a party town.”
As the outlet reported, Rashid administers quick coronavirus tests using a finger prick or a nose swab – a procedure that takes less than 30 minutes and costs up to $500 per test. Some insurance companies won’t cover the cost and most doctors don’t have the kits to perform them, the Times reported.
“Every time there is an event, a protest or Fourth of July celebration, there is higher demand,” Rashid said, adding that clients might book her well in advance for an event or they might call her at two in the morning for an emergency test.
For example, after the “Safe &amp; Sound” concert, which cost $1,250 to attend and eventgoers were supposed to watch from their cars, Rashid received numerous requests, as social media posts showed people got out of their cars to dance near the stage.
“I can’t even tell you how many requests we got after that,” Rashid told the outlet.
Business has been good for Rashid, who said she has had to triple her staff to meet the demands of the New York elite this summer. She even had to open a new office in Bridgehampton.
“While most of the country waits seven to 14 days for coronavirus test results, a privileged few have access to rapid tests. There are a few types — some detect antibodies, others antigens or <a href="https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/newsroom/news-releases/covid-19-test-that-relies-on-viral-genetic-material-gives-false-negative-results-if-used-too-early-in-those-infected">viral genetic material</a> — but they all provide an answer in under 30 minutes,” the Times reported. “Hosts are hiring doctors to screen guests before they attend their gatherings, or children coming in from out of town for sleepovers. Other people are getting tests to provide peace of mind after a particularly wild night. Event companies are offering rapid testing as a service to clients alongside catering and music. Instagram influencers are even touting the service.”
The tests, however, aren’t necessarily reliable, as negatives have to be retested for accuracy and false positives have been found.
The privilege for wealthy New Yorkers extends beyond quick and expensive coronavirus testing. As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/wealthy-new-york-city-parents-are-paying-70000-for-their-children-to-learn-in-pods">reported</a>, wealthy New York City parents are spending upwards of $70,000 to hire private educators to oversee their children while learning remotely. The parents are already paying five-figure private school tuitions, and will now be paying even more to set up “pods” of four to ten students in the same grade who will be led by a private educator.

The Susan B. Anthony Museum declined President Donald Trump&#8217;s posthumous pardon of the suffragette Tuesday and offered him suggestions for how they believe he might better honor her legacy.
&#8220;Objection! Mr. President, Susan B. Anthony must decline your offer of a pardon today,&#8221; <a href="https://susanb.org/on-news-of-a-presidential-pardon-for-susan-b-anthony-on-august-18-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">wrote</a> Deborah L. Hughes, the president and CEO of the National Susan B. Anthony Museum &amp; House, which is in Rochester, New York.
She continued:
<blockquote>Anthony wrote in her diary in 1873 that her trial for voting was “The greatest outrage History ever witnessed.” She was not allowed to speak as a witness in her own defense, because she was a woman. At the conclusion of arguments, Judge Hunt dismissed the jury and pronounced her guilty. She was outraged to be denied a trial by jury. She proclaimed, “I shall never pay a dollar of your unjust penalty.” To pay would have been to validate the proceedings. To pardon Susan B. Anthony does the same.
If one wants to honor Susan B. Anthony today, a clear stance against any form of voter suppression would be welcome. Enforcement and expansion of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 would be celebrated, we must assure that states respect the 14th, 15th, and 19th Amendments to the United States Constitution. Support for the Equal Rights Amendment would be well received. Advocacy for human rights for all would be splendid. Anthony was also a strong proponent of sex education, fair labor practices, excellent public education, equal pay for equal work, and elimination of all forms of discrimination.
As the National Historic Landmark and Museum that has been interpreting her life and work for seventy-five years, we would be delighted to share more.</blockquote>
Trump pardoned Anthony on Aug. 18, on the 100th anniversary of Tennessee providing the final ratification needed to adopt the 19th Amendment, which prohibits the government from denying the right to vote based on sex.
&#8220;She was never pardoned. Did you know that? She was never pardoned,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;What took so long? She was guilty for voting, and we’re going to be signing a full and complete pardon.&#8221;
Democratic New York Lieutenant Gov. Kathy Hochul echoed the museum, saying, &#8220;I was deeply troubled to learn that Trump went ahead and treated her like a criminal.&#8221; She called on him to rescind his pardon, tweeting, &#8220;As highest-ranking woman elected official in New York and on behalf of Susan B. Anthony’s legacy we demand Trump rescind his pardon. She was proud of her arrest to draw attention to the cause for women’s rights, and never paid her fine. Let her Rest In Peace, [Trump].&#8221;

After Trump&#8217;s pardon, The New York Times and others attempted to downplay Anthony&#8217;s legacy, claiming she did not do enough to support abortion rights or women of color.

Anthony is an &#8220;increasingly divisive figure&#8221; who is now an icon of &#8220;anti-abortion forces&#8221; and has been &#8220;criticized for relegating black suffragettes to the sidelines.&#8221;</blockquote>

A federal judge appointed by former President Bill Clinton denied President Donald Trump’s attempt to keep a Democrat District Attorney from looking through eight years of the president’s tax returns.
Judge Victor Marrero of Federal District Court in Manhattan denied Trump’s appeal on an earlier ruling ordering him to turn over his tax returns. The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/20/nyregion/donald-trump-taxes-cyrus-vance.html?smid=tw-nytimes&amp;smtyp=cur">reported</a> that this ruling came after the Supreme Court ruled in July that Trump, as a sitting president, did not have immunity from criminal prosecution. That ruling, however, “opened the door for the president to return to the lower court in Manhattan and raise other objections to the subpoena,” the Times reported.
The case returned to Manhattan, where Judge Marrero dismissed Trump’s claim that District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., a Democrat, wanted the president’s tax returns as part of a politically motivated fishing expedition.
“The Mazars subpoena is so sweeping,” Trump’s attorneys wrote in court papers, referring to the name of Trump’s accounting firm, “that it amounts to an unguided and unlawful &#8216;fishing expedition&#8217; into the president’s personal financial and business dealings.”
Marrero wrote in his ruling that “established judicial process” didn’t “automatically transform into an incidence of incapacitating harassment and ill-will merely because the proceedings potentially may implicate the president.”
After the Supreme Court ruling, Trump and his attorneys began arguing that the information sought by Vance was “wildly overbroad” and beyond the jurisdiction of the local district attorney. Marrero rejected that argument, claiming, as paraphrased by the Times, that “throwing out the subpoena would effectively amount to shielding the president and his associates from an investigation, potentially allowing the statute of limitations to expire on any potential crimes.”
It is unclear what, specifically, Vance is investigating that requires Trump’s tax returns. Vance has been investigating Trump and his businesses, trying to figure out if any New York State laws were broken when two women were allegedly paid off to stay silent about their affairs with Trump. In a recent court filing, the Times reported, Vance wrote that he was also investigating potential bank and insurance fraud within the Trump world.
The filing <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/03/nyregion/donald-trump-taxes-cyrus-vance.html">does not mention anything specific</a> the district attorney is investigating, relying on broad claims and politically biased media reports of the same variety used to claim Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election.
“The prosecutors, defending their subpoena for Mr. Trump’s records, cited undisputed “public reports of possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization.” Mr. Vance’s office made it clear in court recently that it viewed the tax returns as central evidence in its investigation,” the Times reported.
Vance also issued a separate subpoena to Deutsche Bank seeking records relating to Trump and his businesses there as well.
When the subpoena for the tax returns arrived at Trump’s accounting firm, the president filed a lawsuit to stop it. Marrero last October rejected the president’s attempts to block the subpoena. Marrero also claimed in that ruling that he didn’t believe the district attorney “was acting in bad faith,” the Times reported.

Speaking to <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/13/trump-says-were-putting-new-york-in-play-cites-crime-and-taxes/">the New York Post</a>, President Trump confidently predicted that he would make a competitive run in the traditionally Democratic state of New York in the 2020 election.
Trump noted the soaring rates of violent crime and the high taxes in the state as he asserted that New York City’s “shootings are double, murders, everything has doubled and tripled. And I’ve heard numbers, 244 percent on some kinds of crimes. What is it 277 percent [for shootings]? … I’ll solve the crime problem. I’ll solve their tax problem. I’ll solve all their problems. Who would not vote for me? We’re going to look into SALT; we’re going to look into crime; we’re going to look into all of the things and solve the problems&#8230;&#8221;
&#8220;We did well last time, but to get over 50 percent is hard for a Republican,&#8221; he added. &#8220;But we’re putting New York in play. We’re going to play it very strong and very hard. And we are going to try to win New York.&#8221;
Peter Ajemian, the communications director for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, reacted, “President Trump needs to stop lying. All income tax rates are lower today than when Governor Cuomo took office — the only person who raised New York State taxes was Trump with SALT.”
“Over the last six months what’s happened is insane,” Trump told the Post. “It’s insane. So we’re going to try very hard to win New York and that will be the first time — is that since Ronald Reagan, I guess? Since Ronald Reagan… I will bring down taxes and I’ll make sure that New York City is a safe place&#8230; This is a cherished diamond of this country. And we can’t let this happen to New York… I think we have a tremendous shot. I think we have a very good shot. Now, typically, it’s not in play, but we’re going to put a strong move on New York. We may also do it in New Jersey, by the way.”
“We’re going to invest in there, we’ll visit. I’m going to put it down as you know on the list,” Trump continued. “For instance, we think we’re going to win New Mexico, we think we’re going to win Minnesota. We think we’re, we have a shot perhaps at Virginia because they have a very, very strange governor.”
White House political director Brian Jack chimed in, “The first thing I say is look at the congressional races, and New York, you’ve got at least three, four, maybe even five competitive seats. And some of those seats the president carried by very wide margins. You look at New York 11, New York 19, there’s quite a few opportunities in upstate as well.”
Trump predicted Republicans would &#8220;pick up a lot.&#8221;
&#8220;I think we can pick up what, five seats? And that’s in addition to trying to win it. I think we can pick up a lot of seats,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;I think we have a very good chance,&#8221; Trump concluded. &#8220;Who can be happy if you live in Manhattan and your taxes are going through the roof? And your quality of life is way down, and they’re defunding the police?&#8221;
Since 1960, the GOP presidential candidate has won the state only three times: Richard Nixon’s 1972 reelection (he lost to Hubert Humphrey in 1968) and Ronald Reagan’s two victories in 1980 and 1984.

A new report alleges that the true extent of the number of deaths that New York&#8217;s nursing homes suffered under the leadership of Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo may be far higher than what has been reported due to the way that the statistics are gathered and counted.
&#8220;New York’s coronavirus death toll in nursing homes, already among the highest in the nation, could actually be a significant undercount,&#8221; The Associated Press reported. &#8220;Unlike every other state with major outbreaks, New York only counts residents who died on nursing home property and not those who were transported to hospitals and died there.&#8221;
The AP gave one example as an illustration of the problem: the Riverdale Nursing Home in the Bronx.
According to the AP, on paper, the nursing home only reported a total of four deaths from the coronavirus out of its nearly 150-bed facility. However, the true number is 21 dead, most of whom were transported out of the facility and to hospitals before they died.
&#8220;That statistic that could add thousands to the state’s official care home death toll of just over 6,600,&#8221; the AP continued. &#8220;But so far the administration of Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo has refused to divulge the number, leading to speculation the state is manipulating the figures to make it appear it is doing a better than other states and to make a tragic situation less dire.&#8221;
Democrat State Senator Gustavo Rivera, a Demo told New York Health Commissioner Howard Zucker during a recent hearing that it seemed that officials were “choosing to define it differently so that you can look better.”
&#8220;Another group of numbers also suggests an undercount,&#8221; the AP added. &#8220;State health department surveys show 21,000 nursing home beds are lying empty this year, 13,000 more than expected — an increase of almost double the official state nursing home death tally. While some of that increase can be attributed to fewer new admissions and people pulling their loved ones out, it suggests that many others who aren’t there anymore died.&#8221;
The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/07/us/new-york-city-coronavirus-outbreak.html">reported</a> earlier this year that the outbreak was so bad in New York City that &#8220;the city became the primary source of new infections in the United States, new research reveals, as thousands of infected people traveled from the city and seeded outbreaks around the country.&#8221;
The AP&#8217;s report comes after Cuomo was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/andrew-cuomo-i-wouldnt-support-an-independent-investigation-into-ny-nursing-homes-and-virus">asked</a> on Monday if he would support an independent investigation into what happened in the nursing homes, to which he said, &#8220;no.&#8221;
The reporter asked Cuomo, “Would you support an independent investigation in order to bridge some of this mutual suspicion about partisanship getting into a better public understanding of what exactly happened in group home facilities and nursing homes?”
“No, I wouldn’t do an investigation whether or not it’s political, everybody can make that decision for themselves,” Cuomo answered. “I think you’d have to be blind to realize it’s not political. Just look at where it comes from and look at the sources and look at their political affiliations and look at who wrote the letter in Congress and look at what publications raise it and what media outward networks raise it. It’s kind of incredible.”
