Brooks' family and attorneys Justin Moore and Sadiyah Evangelista-Karriem released a statement about the bond amount saying, "In a system where countless individuals, especially those of color, face exorbitantly high bonds for lesser offenses, it's deeply troubling that Deputy Garrett Hardin, with clear evidence against him and a tainted service record, is granted a mere $10,000 bond for the murder of Roderick Brooks.
