Bodycams Off: Ep 6: The Crime of Standing There

Host Connie Morris examines the Robert Brooks death in custody, arguing that inaction and silence by staff can be as deadly as physical force. This episode explores how custody culture, compliance, and the duty to intervene shape outcomes for restrained people.

The episode breaks down legal and policy frameworks—including 42 U.S.C. §1983, constitutional protections, and departmental duty-to-intervene rules—while following the Fisher prosecution as a test of criminal accountability for failure to act.
