Body-worn camera footage from the Marcy Correctional Facility in New York has sparked outrage following the release of disturbing images showing correctional officers brutally beating handcuffed inmate Robert Brooks. The footage, which shows officers punching and kicking Brooks while he was restrained, has prompted an investigation by the New York Attorney General’s office.
Brooks, 43, who was serving a 12-year sentence for first-degree assault, died on December 10, just a day after being transferred to Marcy. Governor Kathy Hochul condemned the officers’ actions, calling the incident “horrifying” and announcing plans for an internal review that could lead to the firing of multiple staff members involved.
The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision has also pledged to implement institutional changes, including better oversight of body camera usage. Brooks’ family expressed their devastation after viewing the footage and is seeking justice and reforms to ensure inmate safety. As investigations continue, the case highlights ongoing concerns regarding the treatment of inmates within correctional facilities.
this is why people feel the way they do about them. This is sad they still have rights and should be treated as a human being.
I can’t believe what I just saw. over size cowards. I hope they get punished. My prayers are with that young man family. They wouldn’t do a dog the way they did him.
two beat him, one held him down while another watched and a cameraman recorded. this seems to be the norm for them on a regular, people without conscience and human decency.
AINT NO WAY THEY CAN SAY “INNOCENT” AND YOU CAUGHT ON CAMERA KILLING THIS MAN. SLANGING HIM AROUND LIKE A RAG DOLL, A HUMAN BEING LIKE YOURSELVES. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOULS.
they all need to be charged praying for the family this a mess and need to be stopped, jail staff be taking advantage of they job, no body care about the inside until their in there too 📌‼️
