Marcy Correctional Facility on Dec. 9. One officer uses a shoe to strike Brooks in the stomach, and another yanks him up by his neck and drops him back on the table.

I fucking hate when the media does everything possible to try and lessen the culpability of pigs abusing their power.

No he didn't "use a shoe to strike Brooks" the asshole kicked someone to death. When has anyone ever described a kick as a "shoe strike"?

No judge, I didn't curb stomp that guy to death! I simply struck the back of his head with my shoe! As a joke between friends of course.

Yeah. We already have La Chancla for shoe strikes that aren't kicks, and I'm pretty sure that corrections officer was nobody's abuela.

Brooks, who was serving a 12-year prison sentence for first-degree assault since 2017, arrived at the prison 200 miles (320 kilometers) northwest of New York City only hours before the beating after being transferred from another nearby facility, officials said.

Bear in mind that you could get put away for petty theft and get what amounts to a death sentence depending on whether a correctional officer’s wife left him.
