The police officer who shot Brooks nine times testified this week that she thought she was going to die on the night of the altercation outside the RCMP's Surrey detachment. "I think there's a real issue with our police forces. It's nice to see that," Beau Brooks said, adding that he still has "zero faith" the recommendations will bring change. "When you hear homicide, that's what I've always viewed Hudson's death as. While Brooks' family is glad for the acknowledgement in the inquest's verdict, his older brother told CTV News Vancouver he has little hope any significant change will come from it. The third was to B.C.'s public safety minister, to review current standards and training and to consider new technology for what it called "intermediate force options," including conducted energy weapons. One was to the RCMP to increase training around the "incident management intervention model," particularly when it comes to the use of force.Īnother recommendation was directed at B.C.'s police watchdog, the Independent Investigations Office, to release their findings to the RCMP after its investigations so training solutions can be developed. In its verdict, the coroner's inquest ruled the incident was a homicide and offered three recommendations. It began on Monday and ended Thursday night. The inquest, which is not a criminal proceeding, was announced back in January. A coroner's inquest into the 2015 police shooting that killed 20-year-old Hudson Brooks has issued three recommendations including increased training for officers.
