   A mayor in New York state who shook up her city’s police   
   department after the death of Daniel Prude, a Black man who   
   allegedly suffered from mental health problems,was hit Friday   
   with campaign finance charges that could drive her out of office.   
      
   Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren was indicted by a grand jury on   
   charges of scheming to defraud and violating election law by   
   illegally coordinating activities and expenditures, Monroe   
   County District Attorney Sandra Doorley said.   
      
   Both charges stem from Warren’s 2017 re-election campaign. She   
   has denied any wrongdoing.   
      
   Warren, who did not release a statement after her indictment and   
   whose office did not immediately respond to a request for   
   comment, has an Oct. 5 court date and also faces the possibility   
   of prison time and the loss of her law license if convicted.   
      
   The mayor had tried to defuse the city’s anger after Prude's   
   relatives released police video of his arrest in March. The   
   footage showed officers covering the naked and shackled man’s   
   head with a “spit hood” and forcing him down on the asphalt,   
   where he went limp.   
      
   Prude, who was 41, died a few days later, two months before   
   George Floyd’s death beneath the knee of a Minneapolis police   
   officer ignited nationwide street protests that continue to this   
   day.   
      
   After an internal review of the arrest and its aftermath, Warren   
   apologized to Prude's family, relieved the city's police chief   
   of his duties and suspended the city attorney and her own   
   communications director for 30 days without pay.   
      
   "This initial look has shown that we have a pervasive problem in   
   the Rochester Police Department," Warren said at the time. "One   
   that views everything through the eyes of the badge, 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 and at every level."   
      
   Warren said she was asking the U.S. attorney's office to   
   investigate whether Prude's civil rights were violated. And she   
   suspended — with pay — seven officers who were involved in   
   Prude's arrest.   
      
   The mayor also moved the city’s crisis intervention team and its   
   budget out of the police department and into the Department of   
   Youth and Recreation Services.   
      
   "We had a human being in a need of help, in need of compassion.   
   In that moment, we had an opportunity to protect him, to keep   
   him warm, to bring him to safety, to begin the process of   
   healing him and lifting him up," Warren said. "We have to own   
   the fact that in the moment we did not do that."
