Newly released body camera footage shows a handcuffed inmate being beaten unconscious by prison guards before he’s stripped down to his underwear in a fatal attack.
The recordings were made public by Attorney General Letitia James Friday showing three correction officers repeatedly punching, kicking and stomping on Robert Brooks in an examination room on Dec. 9 at upstate prison Marcy Correctional Facility.
Gov. Kathy Hochul fired over a dozen Marcy Correctional Facility staff after a deadly attack on inmate Robert Brooks.
Body-worn footage shows officers kicking Brooks, who was handcuffed, before his death on Dec. 10.
The footage made public Friday shows correctional officers repeatedly punching Brooks in the face and groin as he sits handcuffed on a medical examination table.
As one of the officers uses a shoe to strike Brooks in the stomach, another yanks him up by his neck and drops him back on the table. The officers then remove the man’s shirt and pants as he lies motionless and bloodied on his back.
New York AG James and the NYCLU cite the incident as part of a broader culture of violence in state prisons.
The final results of Brooks’ autopsy are still pending.
Preliminary findings from a medical examination indicate “concern for asphyxia due to compression of the neck as the cause of death, as well as the death being due to actions of another,” according to court filings.
Brooks had been serving a 12-year prison sentence for first-degree assault since 2017. He had arrived at the Marcy Correctional Facility only hours before the beating, after being transferred from another nearby state prison, officials said.
Marcy is about 200 miles (323 kilometers) northwest of New York City, between the cities of Rome and Utica.

WHY ARENT THESE OFFICERS SITTING IN JAIL UNTIL THEIR COURT CASE like everyone else would be?
TAKE ALL THE BAD OFFICERS POSSESSIONS AWAY UNDER PROCEEDS OF CRIME
These are grown white men walking around racist with police badges only tell me government officials hire them knowing who they are
If Mr Brooks never assaulted a woman with a knife he never would have met these evil men. He met the evil that existed on the path he chose to follow. Justice from the heavens
This was NOT what we needed right now.
I dont find it at all "difficult to watch". Noone asking what was going on. Ive been locked up, i know it goes both ways. There are for SURE COs that are animsls.
Lets not forget that Big Tish is a lawfare criminal herself. Do NOT be distracted. Listening to her act like this video is as disgusting as the child SA that goes on as a DIRECT result of evil democrats policies.
These man are corrupt to the bone , what else do they have under there sleeves and for how long.
This looks like revenge !
Yeah it don't matter what all crimes he committed.
Fired!! Nw Jail em
This is a disgrace & they should all be charged
They were fired and not held without bond in a jail cell?
Another crazy thing is that the male nurse with brown hoodie sat there and laughed during that and then came in and worked on him after 😢 how do we trust nurses after this it really makes me wonder and can make people paranoid
Thug egomaniac murderers. And they wonder why there is a divide….
Screw firing the pigs. Charge and PROSECUTE them to the fullest extent of the law, no qualified immunity.
Thi is absolutely horrendous. 😡😡😡😡😡
Those pigs dont deserve not one more single breath. And theyre families should also pay the price screw that
But it does reflect on other officers. This is not a one time thing. Cmon now….
If their crappy union tries to defend this, I think the problem will solve itself……
💔
ya can't fix stupid !!!
This is another reason why America is a pos sick place. You love to take lives. Fired??? Are you serious?? In Canada ANY inmate dearh triggers an immediate involvement w the chief Coroner's Department of the province, leadership hearings are immediate and charges would definitely be laid.
They killed him, 😮😮😮 😢😢
Where is BLM.
This requires a peaceful march through every states until new states and federal are created to make sure that this doesn’t happen again and to punish those who are responsible for such acts.
Defund the police!!!
