New York Correction Officers Thought the Cameras Were Turned Off

They were wrong. 10 New York correction officers charged in death of Robert Brooks

Ten New York prison guards have been indicted in connection to the killing of inmate Robert Brooks — whose brutal, and fatal beating was caught on a stomach-churning body-worn camera video.

Six correction officers have been charged with second-degree murder and three others face manslaughter charges for the Dec. 9 homicide of Brooks, a prisoner at Marcy Correctional Facility in Oneida County, an indictment unsealed Thursday revealed. A tenth officer is being charged with tampering with evidence.

Three other employees reached plea agreements with prosecutors.

So if they thought that the cameras were turned off, does that mean that they turned them off other times? It was the 3rd beating he had received since arriving at the prison in question.

Brooks was rendered defenseless against the guards’ alleged beat-down as his hands were cuffed behind his back the entire time as the guards showed a disturbing “sense of normalcy” in the shocking footage.

Government. Still part of the problem, or the entire problem.

  1. The NY State corrections officers union is current on strike for more pay. The strike has been declared an illegal strike because the prisons are out of control
