Fresh controversy has erupted in the United States after body camera footage released by New York authorities showed officers fatally assaulting a handcuffed inmate inside a prison facility.
The footage, made public by the New York Attorney General’s office, captures correctional officers repeatedly beating 43-year-old Robert Brooks while he was restrained on an infirmary bed.
Brooks reportedly died the following day, sparking widespread outrage and renewed calls for accountability over the use of force in correctional institutions.
The disturbing video has intensified scrutiny of law enforcement conduct in custody, with rights advocates demanding justice and a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
Officials say the case is under active review as pressure mounts for those involved to be held responsible.
