How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Officers went to the motel to search the register for guests with outstanding warrants, police said. They found that Brooks--who was wanted in Okmulgee County--was staying there. Two officers went to his room, knocked on the door and, when Brooks answered, reportedly saw drug paraphernalia. Police entered the room to arrest Brooks, and he fought them, getting pepper-sprayed, tasered and killed.
