The police killing of Daniel Prude in Rochester, NY, in March is certain to spark riots. A cuffed, unarmed, and naked Black man killed by police officers with a “spit hood” over his head is the type of crime Black Lives Matter and Antifa Provocateurs crave. The only question is whether or not local, county, and state law enforcement will be able to prevent the coming riots from getting out of hand.
For background, we turn to The Blaze:
Authorities found Prude, fully naked and reportedly attempting to break into a vehicle. Prude reportedly told authorities that he was infected with COVID-19 when they arrived on the scene.
In the footage, Prude can be seen handcuffed with his hands behind his back and shouting. Officers reportedly placed a spit hood on Prude to prevent him from spitting on police. As the hood is placed over Prude’s head, he can be heard shouting, “Give me that gun. Give me that gun.”
Three officers push Prude to the ground, where he becomes further agitated. At least one officer can be seen pushing Prude’s head into the pavement. Another officer can be seen placing a knee in Prude’s back. An officer can be heard telling Prude to “calm down” and to stop spitting.
Snow falls lightly and quietly on the wet street. After two minutes in this position, Prude falls lifeless and makes no more sounds. An officer can be heard asking Prude, “You good, man?” and sees that Prude has vomited on the pavement.
As with past incidents such as George Floyd, Rayshard Brooks, and Jacob Blake, a suspect police was trying to take into custody resisted arrest and refused to comply with police. But this incident is, if anything, a bit more disturbing because there seemed to be no reason at all to keep a Prude pressed to the ground they way they did. He was unruly and his actions and words clearly indicated he was both mentally ill and under the influence of drugs (PCP, as it turned out), but he was cuffed and the situation seemed to be under control.
What makes this incident more “riot-worthy” is that a spit hood was placed on his head. This was during the beginning of the coronavirus panic and many, including law enforcement, were hyper-diligent about not getting infected. Prude was spitting towards the police officers, prompting the use of the hood. Still, it’s terrible optics, especially considering he died from asphyxiation.
Riots are coming. They’re certainly coming to Rochester and may spread to other cities. Will law enforcement be able to keep the peace? If they are more aggressive and actively making arrests, then it’s possible they’ll be able to mitigate damage. If not, Rochester may soon look like Minneapolis during the George Floyd riots, Atlanta during the Rayshard Brooks riots, or Kenosha during the Jacob Blake riots.
For law and order to be maintained, Rochester will need an overwhelming level of law enforcement present AND a willingness to act against crimes in progress. They cannot have their hands tied like past Black Lives Matter riots because this can and will get out of hand quickly if they do.
In the latest episode of Conservative News Briefs, JD breaks down the situation and what it will take to prevent a repeat of what’s happened in the recent past.
Black Lives Matter and Antifa will try to burn Rochester as they’ve burned other cities where Black men are killed by law enforcement. Will police be allowed to do their jobs or will Rochester turn the city over to domestic terrorists?
COVID-19 may take down an independent news outlet
Nobody said running a media site would be easy. We could use some help keeping this site afloat.
Colleagues have called me the worst fundraiser ever. My skills are squarely rooted on the journalistic side of running a news outlet. Paying the bills has never been my forte, but we’ve survived. We have ads on the site that help, but since the site’s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn’t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it.
When I left a nice, corporate career in 2017, I did so knowing I wouldn’t make nearly as much money. But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth. We know we’ll never make a ton of money this way, and we’re okay with that.
Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns. Both ad money and donations that have kept us afloat for a while have dropped dramatically. We thought we could weather the storm, but the so-called “surge” or “2nd-wave” that mainstream media and Democrats are pushing has put our prospects in jeopardy. In short, we are now in desperate need of financial assistance.
The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We need approximately $11,500 to stay afloat for the rest of 2020, but more would be wonderful and any amount that brings us closer to our goal is greatly appreciated.
The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. This shouldn’t be the case as our traffic the last year has been going up dramatically. June, 2018, we had 11,678 visitors. A year later in June, 2019, we were up to 116,194. In June, 2020, we had 614,192. We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.
Election year or not, coronavirus lockdowns or not, anarchic riots or not, the need for truthful journalism endures. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.

American Conservative Movement
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.
New Conservative Network Seeks Crowdfunding Help
They say we have to go big or go home. We’re trying to go big and bring the patriotic truth the the nation, but we need help.
Readers may or may not realize that over the past year, we’ve been bringing more conservative news and opinion outlets under our wing. Don’t take our expansion as a sign of riches; all of the “acquisitions” have been through sweat and promises of greater things to come for all involved. As a result, we’ve been able to bring together several independent media sites under a unified vision of preventing America from succumbing to the progressive, “woke,” Neo-Marxist ideologies that are spreading like wildfire across America.
The slow and steady reopening of America is revealing there was a lot more economic hardship brought about from the Covd-19 lockdowns than most realize. While we continue to hope advertising dollars on the sites go up, it’s simply not enough to do things the right way. We are currently experiencing a gap between revenue and expenses that cannot be overcome by click-ads and MyPillow promos alone (promo code “NOQ” by the way).
To overcome our revenue gap and keep these sites running, our needs fluctuate between $3000-$7000 per month. In other words, we’re in the red and hemorrhaging.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring the truth to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well.
As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going.
Thank you and God Bless,
