I no particular fan of the defense team in this case — but comparing it to the Haidl trial is (in my opinion) journalistic malpractice.
Looking at the pictures at the linked site it occurred to me that the deceased was very lucky he didn’t have a puppy with him at the time of his cop beat down. If he did he would have REALLY suffered at the hands of the cops.
They would much rather walk through hell in gasoline shorts
than go to prison.
They are going to try anything they can.
I watched a long video of the Kelly Thomas incident.
There was no way I could conclude anything but police brutality towards the guy.
They had him down, had him contained, and simply toyed with him.
And a bunch of other cops stood around watching. The DA, not an enemy of law enforcement, took very little time to find huge problems with the officers’ conduct and indict them.
Fullerton’s police chief and mayor resigned over this.
The Police in Fullerton California murdered that guy and there was NO justification for it.None
This man had already surrendered and they continued beating him to death.
These police officers should be Tried for murder,and sued for violating his civil rights.
Why hasn’t the victims father filed a Federal Complaint with the FBI over this unlawful abuse of authority?
Fullerton P.D.needs a thorough investigation and these officers should be spending time in prison.

Prison is too good for them.
