Witnessess Describe Fullerton, CA Homeless Beating
Posted on August 2, 2011 by Mooch
I had to post about this story. I have been following the beating of Kelly Thomas, a homeless schizophrenic who was literally beaten and tasered to death by 6 uniformed Fullerton police officers, since I first heard about it on KFI 640am talk radio. Reports state that dispatch received a call about a homeless guy breaking into vehicles near the bus stop.
According to the video below, witnesses testify that Kelly was sitting on a bench when 2 police cars pulled up. This is where Kelly ran off, and was finally detained and tasered 6 times. Reports also state one of the police officers who is described to be 6’3” 240lbs was kneeing Kelly in the face and neck numerous times.
This beating happened July 5th, 2011, and didn’t hit media until 3 weeks later. Why? The FBI has now taken over the case, and reportedly has close up video of the incident, along with numerous amateur video and witnesses who saw the entire thing. Watch the video below, and tell me how in the world could 6 police officers be justified in beating a homeless man, or anyone for that matter, to a pulp like this?
Kelly never woke up from the coma he endured from the beating. 5 days later, he died in the hospital from his injuries.
RIP Kelly Thomas
