The Rochester Police officers who restrained Daniel Prude acted according to their training, according to the attorneys representing the seven suspended officers.

Attorneys James Nobles, Daniel Mastrella, Michael Schiano and Matthew Rich spoke at the Rochester Police Locust Club Oct. 1.

Rich said that while Daniel Prude’s death was a tragedy, it was “not the result of anything the officers did or did not do.”

Nobles said the attorneys would continue investigating and would present more information as it became available. “No one has spoken out for these seven individuals, and that’s what we’re here to do.”

During the news conference, several members of Free the People Roc gathered in the parking lot of the Locust Club building. There were reports that four people, including a young teenager, were arrested. On Oct. 2, Rochester Police said the following were arrested for trespassing and issued appearance tickets: Ashley Gantt, 34, Amanda Flannery, 33, Mary Adams, 54, and Ricardo Adams, 65.
