So I had a story recently about one cop that was doing quite well in respecting people.
Well, here's the other foot. I will warn people that the link I put up is quite graphic, so you have been warned.

Quote:
Kelly Thomas' father, a retired Orange County police officer, did not recognize his own son when he went watch him die at the UC Irvine Medical Center after police beat him into a coma on July 5. The officers were responding to a call about vandalized cars when they found Thomas, a homeless schizophrenic, and attempted to search him. Thomas' father says his son may have been off his meds, which would explain why he resisted arrest. Nothing explains the gang-style murder committed by Fullerton cops.

While there's a Youtube of this, it doesn't show the beating, instead showing the screams from him being tasered after a fifth time. How police came to be SO worked up as to beat the ever loving crap out of a homeless man, is beyond me. It's a sad state of affairs when the ones meant to protect and serve, are the ones taking away your liberties.
RIP Thomas...
