Dad! Dad! Dad!...Schizophrenic homeless man Kelly Thomas literally beaten to death by police
Fullerton, Calif police responded to calls of car break-ins at a parking lot. They encountered Thomas,claim he was resisting, tased him 5 times, and SEVERELY beat him. He went into a coma and died 5 days later. Witnesses all say he did not resist. On the video you can hear him scream and cry out fr his dad. His dad is a retired deputy.

Those who stand by and do nothing are more guilty than the cops.

His dad should know the system. Bet it looks different from this side of the fence.

Maybe he was a good deputy, since he is retired, maybe he was trained in the era when the police actually served and PROTECTED it citizens.

No matter if a person resists or not, they do not deserve to be beaten (murdered!!) like this. Jesus.
I see the sadness behind the smile.

kelly thomas was average height and 135lbs. 6 strong, well armed, police officers tased a schizophrenic, physically slightly built man [whom everyone in the area described as quiet, polite] 5 times, and beat him to death. police originally claimed officers sustained broken bones, but now claim 'soft tissue' injuries.

You mean bruises? Poor babies.

A cop's life and well-being is no more important than anyone else's just because of a career choice.

Maybe in the days of "protect and serve"--and I'm sure there are a few of those left who deserve respect for what they do, but most of them these days, no.

The faster the tasers appear, the more cowardly and bullying they are.

the brutalizing class has been slowly trained to respond more violently, to treat citizens as the enemy... because citizens are the enemy to the overlords. and they know revolution is coming. time to dispense with illusions, our government is not a democracy. all show to give the illusion of democracy so that the bankers can continue to live as the parasites that they are. left vs right, all illusion to keep the lower classes divided and fighting. same for religious disputes, like muslim vs christian. all instigated from the top. time to wake up people and see reality for what it is.

And yet our population keeps expanding exponentially [now, 315 million plus, 400 million by 2030] and millions take great risks to get here.

This what happens when you try to fight the police -- don't do it, you are NOT going to win! Had this man not resisted arrest he might have just gotten a few lumps -- instead he is DEAD! Suicide by cop ...

Is it possible for a citizen to do a citizen's arrest in a situation like this? Like, run up and inform the cops that you are placing them under arrest for assault? It might would distract them from their merciless task, at least...

Yeah, well, if it would mean a few less injuries to a mentally ill person, I think I could take it. And I'm a girl.
