Protesters took to a Brooklyn subway station in response to the lack of arrests related to the death of Robert Brooks, a prisoner allegedly beaten by correction officers. Despite a prior ultimatum to Governor Hochul, who initiated an investigation into the incident, demonstrators felt insufficient action had occurred. Reverend Kevin McCall emphasized the importance of accountability, voicing the group’s determination to keep the pressure for justice alive through community disruption. The police responded to the protest, arresting several participants as tensions escalated.
We're out here tonight to continue to keep the pressure on. We want to make sure that every last single person responsible gets arrested. It's been over 46 days, and no arrest has been made. So, we're going to continue to scream his name - justice for Robert Brooks!
Justice for Robert Brooks! Protesters called out from both sides of the turnstile.
