New York Police Brutality | Video Shows New York Officers Beating Handcuffed Prisoner Before Death
A man fatally beaten in a New York prison this month was repeatedly pummeled by correction officers while in handcuffs, struck in the chest by a shoe, then lifted up by the neck and dropped, according to body-worn camera footage released Friday by the state’s attorney general. Robert Brooks, 43, was pronounced dead on Dec. 10, the morning after the assault at the Marcy Correctional Facility in Oneida County. Thirteen correction officers and a nurse implicated in the attack will face termination, according to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who said she was “outraged and horrified” by videos of the "senseless killing." The footage made public Friday by the New York Attorney General Letitia James shows correction officers repeatedly punching Brooks in the face and groin as he sits handcuffed on a medical examination table.
