Newly released video of a fatal New York prison beating shows correctional officers repeatedly pummeling a handcuffed inmate, striking him in the chest with a shoe, and lifting him by the neck and dropping him.
Body-worn camera footage of the Dec. 9 assault on Robert Brooks was made public Friday by the state’s attorney general, who is investigating the officers' use of force.
Brooks, 43, was pronounced dead at a hospital the morning after the assault at the Marcy Correctional Facility, a state prison in Oneida County.
Thirteen correctional 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 shows correctional officers repeatedly punching Brooks in the face and groin as he sits handcuffed on a medical examination table.

WARNING! The video is hard to watch.
It's obvious to me that this type of action is normal for the officers participating in the beating. Not one officer attempted to stop the others from what they were doing.
Whoever was secretly recording took a big risk in doing so.

Isn’t this the same state that manufactures phony legal charges against people they don’t like politically?
I would think that pre-emptive action against agents of this thugocracy would be OK in my book.

They're "Clown Girl" Hochul's thugs.
She'd order them to do the same thing to President Trump if she could get away with it.
