Brooks said his marathon silent protest Thursday was inspired by Bobby Duckworth, a 26-year-old who was shot and killed by police in Wellington, Utah, in 2019.
Officers responded to a report of a suicidal person. Authorities said they fired after Duckworth advanced toward them with two knives in his hands.
“When I first heard his story it touched me because I have had a very similar story to Bobby’s I’ve been very suicidal myself,' Brooks said. “I’ve had run-ins with police but I’m still here I’ve been able to get taken to the help I needed.”
