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.
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.
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.
Where illegal to grow, you should at least use white LED if it’s visible, purple may save you 25% tops, but it’s not equally efficient for all plants, for some you save nothing.
White LED is often also more efficient, so although it makes poorly utilized green light, you never gain the theoretical 33%, and white is cheaper to buy.
I don’t think purple is very relevant anymore, unless you are a professional grower, with crops that are tested for it.
I’ve heard stories that the make helicopter flyovers here to spot grow lights, IDK if they are true or not. But 9it may be something they are “trained” to look for.
Regarding Finish mentality in general, I can’t comment on that, but clearly you’ve had some very bad experiences. I hope you don’t get offended, but you might want to seek help processing some of those experiences. It seems to be wearing you down a lot. I’m not saying it isn’t true, I’m just saying it sounds like you aren’t handling it well.
I’ve been growing since ~06-07. So to put it kindly, don’t try to teach your father to fuck.
The purple was one of the earliest COB-leds, and it was on my balcony exactly because it would be of no use in my tents. It was marketed as a 200W LED but the actual draw was like 86W. Which isn’t unsurprising with the early LED’s but as this wasn’t from an online vendor but a trusted Finnish gardening store. I bought it in like 2010, when panel such came on the market some years later didn’t really exist.
I’m currently running the TS- and FC- series lamps from MarsHydro. Highly recommended.

My point is that Just because they saw a purple light, they thought they’d have the right to invade my privacy. They happened to be right, but not for the reasons they had.
I’m considering doing a bait at some point but it would mean taking a break from actually growing anything illegal, and I can’t afford that rn.
Technically I am a professional grower insofar that I make most of my money out of it and have been doing so for severally years.
No I really am, because I explicitly mention my therapist.
So that does come off as kinda condescending from someone who didn’t manage to even read through the reply they’re so worried about.
Pls trust that I know my mental health better than you and the thing right now affecting it the most negatively is people aways commenting some highroading shit like that while making completely baseless assumptions.
With similar quality reasoning I could use that sentence to infer you’ve personality disorder.
So let’s not, shall we?
I’m not saying it’s true, but you seem like the sort of ironically ignorant person who thinks their baseless assumptions are for some reason worth something or of interest to anyone. No offense. (You can’t take offense now because I said no offense.)
That could be regarding another issue. You stated you had blackouts and if I remember correctly also psychosis, that would be a psychiatrist treating that.
Try to read your comment I responded to again, you criticize basically everybody around you, including people you call friends.
So my suggestion is to see something OTHER than a psychiatrist.
Feel free to completely disregard, it honestly makes no difference to me, I just mentioned it, because it could look that way. But it could also just be that you were in a bad mood when writing that.
I’m sorry, I know you mean well but the constant offering of “solutions” I’ve thought up and tried more than a decade ago sort of triggers me.
Fucking bureaucracy sucks, not you.
Feel free to completely disregard the bit where you’re criticising me as if my criticism was bad and yours wasn’t.
Youre genuinely highroading and making assumptions. I’m not upset in any way to some random person online. What I’m writing is 100% neutral and any hostility is something you’re inserting into my text. Something that does not exist in it.
I can’t help that you can’t read neutral text in a neutral way.
It could be that you’ve always been really bad at relationships, and thus try to compensate by thinking you’re capable of advising random people online? (Please read that with a condescending and comforting tone.)
Psychiatrist aren’t therapists. They can be, but most are psychologists by training and psychiatrists are MD’s.
You don’t even understand the basics of what youre talking about.
You have no idea how many doctors I’ve met, and you completely disregard the bit where I mention that every single other Finnish person — no matter their education or profession — do not believe me.
Me taking advice from you would be akin to a professionally chef taking advice on cooking from a overexcited 10-year old.
Please stop the asinine highroading. Seriously. It’s not working. You shouldn’t try to pretend to be in a position to advices me. You’re not.
For one you don’t even fucking apologise for your bullshit assumptions. No. You try to give more bs advice on shit you know nothing about. Ffs.
