Summary

Footage released by the New York Attorney General shows corrections officers at Marcy Correctional Facility brutally beating handcuffed inmate Robert Brooks on December 9.

Brooks, restrained throughout the 15-minute assault, died the next day, with preliminary autopsy findings citing asphyxia and actions of others as the cause of death.

14 staff members have been terminated or suspended. Some officers failed to properly activate body cameras, violating state policy.

Advocates highlight systemic abuse and racial discrimination in New York prisons, while the investigation continues.

Here's the link to the Finnish Supreme Court decision for it which you can use translate on.

The ridiculous thing is their excuse about the smell. Nope. I had a purple led for some basil on my balcony, and a regular AC device. Which could be seen from the street. Those were basically their real reasons. Hell, a trained drug dog couldn't have pinpointed the smell to my door in this building. There's at least a grower, a seller and a buyer on each floor. Mine has two growers that I aware of. And the building isn't that big.

How the fuck can they claim you aren't allowed to film in your own home?

Because the concept of freedom of speech really isn't understood that well by most. People speak English to a degree pretty well, but a lot are intellectually too lazy to actually learn things in English, so theirs cultural and societal understanding isn't exactly up to international standards, and that's just a polite way for me to phrase "the country has a majority of low-brow nationalist racists".

Like casual racism is shockingly acceptable. I've been told off and had a row for speaking against racism for more times than I can remember anyone being even slightly offended about someone's racism.

Like even the weed smoking hippies girls are casual racists, you know? Not to the point of like saying or acting differently in ant way, but in like an internalised stereotyping thing.

Usually police is pretty relaxed, and I doubt many policemen would make a house search based on the small of cannabis alone.

I'm honestly not exaggerating when I say Finns still treat weed users as worse than how people treat the lowest crack and meth addicts in the US.

I was genuinely not invited to weddings of my childhood friends — friends whom I had carried out of a party rolled into a mat like some massive kebab, with tequila vomit as the sauce — becsuse "he's a drug addict".

None of these friends have ever seen me even lose my balance becsuse of inebriation. Yet they discriminate. Because Finna are rulewhores.

Even at 5am in a completely empty city on a street where you can see 200m neither way, most people won't jaywalk and even in their drunken aggressive stupor, wait for the light.

It's like they just can't accept the god of bureaucracy to have made a mistake. Ever. It's the same thing with all the officers and doctors and whatnot.

Love the country, hate the people.

And it's not like we don't already have systems that are supposed to hold authorities accountable. But if no-one believes that authorities ever do anything wrong, then there's very little point to those systems.
