Robert Brooks, 43, at Marcy Correctional Facility in Oneida County, being beaten to death by guards and a nurse while being transferred. Newly released body-worn camera footage shows correctional officers punching and kicking Brooks, who was handcuffed and unconscious before dying of this modern day lynching.
Brooks’ father expressed his devastation and outrage. “When you can stand around and watch a man get beat to death, wait your turn to hopefully administer the fatal blow, that’s evil,” he said. “They denied my damn son a second chance,” he said. “They denied him the second chance to be the best him that he was capable of being.”
Robert Brooks Jr., Brook’s son said, “[My dad] took advantage of every opportunity to make a positive impact on his community. He had a loving, generous heart and a special concern for young people.” “Our deepest wishes are that my father’s death will not be in vain. His killing must be a catalyst for change.”
