介绍： The top leadership of the Rochester, N.Y., police department resigned today. That includes chief La'Ron Singletary. The move followed days of sometimes violent clashes between protesters and police. And that unrest began last week, when a video surfaced of officers detaining a Black man named Daniel Prude. Back in March, Prude was held down naked on the street with a hood over his head. He later died in custody, and his death was ruled a homicide. NPR's Brian Mann has been following this story and joins us now.
Hey, Brian.
BRIAN MANN, BYLINE: Hey, Ailsa.
CHANG: All right, so what have you learned today about these resignations?
MANN: Yeah, this has developed really fast. Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren appeared this afternoon on a video conference with the city's council. She was expected to give sort of a briefing on the protests and the police response. Instead, she dropped a bombshell.

LOVELY WARREN: I do want to inform you the entire Rochester Police Department command staff has announced their retirement. That includes the police chief. That includes Commander Deputy Chief Morabito.
MANN: So the city council responded with a kind of shocked silence.

今天，纽约州罗切斯特市警察局的最高领导层辞职。其中包括警察局长拉罗恩·辛格塔里。此前，抗议者与警方之间的冲突已持续数天，冲突有时甚至会演变成暴力事件。这场骚乱始于上周，当时一段视频显示，警察拘留了一个名叫丹尼尔·普鲁德的黑人男子。三月份时，普鲁德赤身裸体地被压制在街上，头上被戴上兜帽。之后，他在警方拘押期间死亡，他的死亡被判定为谋杀。NPR新闻的布莱恩·曼恩一直在追踪这起事件，现在他将和我们连线。
你好，布莱恩。
布莱恩·曼恩连线：你好，艾尔萨。
张：好，你对今天这些辞职情况有何了解？
曼恩：局势发展得非常快。今天下午，罗切斯特市市长洛夫利·沃伦出席了市议会的视频会议。人们本来希望他就抗议事件和警方的回应进行简短说明。但是，她却投下了一颗重磅炸弹。

洛夫利·沃伦：我想通知你们，罗切斯特市警察局的的所有指挥人员已经宣布辞职。这包括警察局长，也包括副局长莫拉比托。
曼恩：市议会因过于震惊而陷入沉默。
