\n The city of Rochester is busing in town \u201celders\u2019\u2019 to act as a \u201cbuffer\u2019\u2019 between protesters and cops Sunday night after a large violent clash there hours earlier over the police death of Daniel Prude, officials said.<\/p>\n

Rochester Police Chief La\u2019Ron Singletary said at a press conference with the city\u2019s mayor Sunday that local authorities have \u201ccredible information one of the areas [marchers] want to target is a symbolic feature\u2019\u2019 \u2014 the town\u2019s public-safety building, which houses its police department.<\/p>\n

Mayor Lovely Warren said she and local pastor Myra Brown came up with a plan to have about 50 \u201celders\u2019\u2019 form a line of peaceful defense between the protesters and cops to thwart any potential attack on the building or other violence.<\/p>\n

\u201c[We] are calling on the elders of this city and our community to meet at [Brown\u2019s] church\u2019\u2019 at 6:30 p.m., Warren said, adding that the local government would help out by transporting community leaders around, according to footage of the presser by local WHEC-TV.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will stand as the buffer between our protesters and our police department,\u2019\u2019 she said of the \u201celders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three cops were injured and nine people arrested overnight during what amounted to the city\u2019s biggest protest so far involving Prude\u2019s death. Cops fired tear gas and pepper balls into the crowd of at least 1,500, while they were battered by bottles and commercial-grade fireworks by marchers who refused to disperse.<\/p>\n

Prude, a 41-year-old black man, died in March after an encounter with Rochester cops in which they put a mesh \u201cspit hood\u201d over his head and shoved his face to the ground till he stopped breathing while he suffered a mental breakdown on the street.<\/p>\n

The Rev. Brown, who was at Sunday\u2019s press conference, said she has been marching with protesters in recent days over Prude\u2019s death and wants to help improve the safety of all.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe elders have volunteered to put our bodies on the line to make sure that that happ<\/a>ens because this community needs to unrestrictedly be able to walk these streets, be able to make the demands that they want to make and to be able to go home without pepper spray or pepper balls in their eyes,\u2019\u2019 the pastor said.<\/p>\n

Both the mayor and police chief added that they have no plans to resign, amid growing calls for them to do so.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
