Those California troopers certainly shouldn't have beaten him but how does he keep getting himself in these situations? (The "shoot that n_ _ _ _ r" comments came from someone close to the camera not the cops).
He's got to be bi-polar or something and needs help.
This will give you a better perspective
"My wife once worked for the Las Vegas Urban League where Brooks was president of the board. He was not the executive director, mind you. He ruled the place like a little Napolean, chastising workers cruelly in front of other workers, firing people. He helped to force out three executive directors in a span of five years. My wife used to come home complaining about him all the time.
This behavior of his was not well known to the public and he somehow got elected a term ago (he had ties to a city councilman). In his first term he flew below the radar not producing any legislation, but before the convening of the legislature for the beginning of his second term committee assignments were handed out and he felt he didn't get what he deserved. This is what set him off. Imagine, a sophomore assemblyman who had accomplished nothing expecting to be in a leadership position. He actually threatened the Speaker and was stopped by police in January with a loaded gun in his car. The reason he was stopped is he made the threats openly to others and someone alerted police. Thank God they voted him out, and what took them so long?"
This guy is no persecuted innocent. He's having a not-so-slow motion mental breakdown because his world is falling apart because of his delusions of grandeur and not being the HNIC in the legislature. Remember, he was arrested twice before since January — beating his wife and trying to take an officer's gun. He also tried to buy a rifle and body armor after being barred from the legislature in early February. He was denied by the gun store owner because of the publicity surrounding his actions. Wonder what he intended to do with the gun and body armor?
