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. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1124291 United States 07/30/2011 09:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1439552You 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. |

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... |
