Jury took less than a day to convict.
I haven’t followed this case in a long, long time …. but it sure seemed Freeoers did not take into account the problems this man;s homelessness caused for him.
No one said this guy was a model citizen. But do you realize he was calm, unarmed and sober, sitting on the ground, when Ramos told him he was gonna f**k him up?
There’s NO justification for police beating any unarmed person to death. NONE.
” it sure seemed Freeoers did not take into account the problems this man;s homelessness caused for him.”
I knew homelessness was an eyesore for the rest of us. Didn’t know it was a Capital Crime.
Freepers in SoCal know a lot about the case. Thomas was a homeless schizophrenic man who weighed all of 135 pounds. He had been doing nothing violent or criminal when he was stopped by Officer Ramos for questioning.
Thomas was already known to Ramos. Ramos had Thomas sitting on the curb when Ramos proceeded to put on some vinyl gloves and announced to Thomas “I’m going to f*#& you up”.
Thomas resisted having the hell beat out of him. Ramos was joined by Officer Cicinelli as Ramos was “f*#&ing up” Thomas and they beat him in the head and face with fists and tasers and compressed his chest. Thomas pleaded with them to stop saying that he couldn’t breath and called out for his father to save him.
In the end the courageous duo of Ramos and Cicinelli saved the good citizens of Fullerton from the Great Schizophrenic Threat by beating him to death. Had they not done this Thomas might have spent years offending our sensibilities and digging through garbage cans. We are fortunate to have had this veritable human crime wave stopped in his tracks before he could dumpster dive again.
Did you watch the video???

.
Nor should we.
There is no excuse for an officer to strike anyone.
They could have tazed or shot him in a leg if they really thought that he was a danger to them. They deserve what they will receive at God’s judgment.
