Bodycams Off: Intro: The Robert Brooks Killing


In this episode, host Connie Morris introduces the Unequal by Design series "Body Cams Off, Violence On," unpacking the brutal, recorded killing of Robert Brooks in custody. The release of body-worn camera footage revealed a culture of excessive force, silence, and systemic failure that turned restraint into brutality.
Across this 10-part series, listeners will follow evidence, trials, convictions, and unresolved questions as she examines how policies, medical blind spots, and institutional protections enable lethal outcomes. The episode calls for accountability, independent oversight, and a reexamination of how custody is administered.
