A shocking video has been released allegedly showing police officers tasering and beating a homeless man to death who they claim was resisting arrest.

Though the video is not clear, eye witnesses say the homeless man - Kelly Thomas, 37 - was unable to put up any resistance and was lying on the ground on his front when the attack took place on July 5.

His screams and cries for his father can be heard amid the tasering noises.

So far, the evidence is based on multiple witness statements, video, audio, photographs, in addition to the fact that the suspect was *not* armed, the fact at least one of the officers have already been named in other questionable beating, in addition to the fact that witnesses all stated there were 5 to 6 cops beating one *unarmed* suspect with fists and flashlights...the fact they tased him multiple times, and the fact that suspect died as a result of this brutal beating, which witnesses described as not a beating, but a brutal murder.

Not to mention the fact that attorneys representing the City of Fullerton have *already* approached the Dad and offered him, $900,000.00 civil settlement to quickly make him go away.

I said wait for the investigations.

Tell me, what do you think the investigation will be based on Mr. Berlin Freeper ?????

It is still an investigation.

Care to answer the question?

Sorry... not meant as an insult, actually I really do think you need to sober up and go away.

You are projecting then.

Maybe if you have another drink it will all just “go away”.

I welcome any official investigation.

Now - how long is it going to be necessary to repeat ourselves?

Until antceecee passes out under the table?

I am going to take this lull before the next pointless round of spamming and go to bed.

Sober, and in superior mood I might add.

“99% of all cops today: PIGS.”

...

Did you come up with that figure all by yourself or was some sort of non-biased study done?

Astonishing.

I also must confess that I wear sunglasses-—oh the horror !

Just have a look at your posts BF! Misspellings.. double posts... I think you should quit while you’re ahead and maybe take another stab at being sensible and intelligent tomorrow.

Caught on tape: Police ‘stripped unarmed man naked, kicked, beat and tasered him as he lay screaming in snow’

Screaming in the snow??????.....I lived in Fullerton, CA...once upon a time. The only snow I ever saw was on Mt. Baldy...and the San Berdo's....

Crappy editing...or reporting.

You might have missed it, but upon close inspection, you’ll find that’s a link to another story.

But thanks for all that anyway!

Being reported a black Fullerton cop nicknamed the Terminator is one of the Fullerton police officers.

What a surprise.

What a shame. Imagine how awful the seven year old kid feels—the father’s sentiments were certainly clear in the video.

There was no need for them to storm in after less than 30 seconds; this wasn’t a hostage or terrorist situation, and there are a number of reasons that a citizen may not answer the door within that time frame.

When cops do that, they needlessly create bad PR for themselves.

Such stories have been released in the media for decades. Free Republic has chonicled abuses by bad cops for years.

If there is a perceived increase, it is probably due (in part) to the fact that more people have cameras and other recording devices on their phones and other personal devices and are willing to use them to record what happens.

Also, with the internet, we can read about incidents in another city and state whereas before, only the most major cases would have gotten interstate attention.

So it could turn out that one policeman was using too much force.

You better hope that is not the case because it would make you a monster for insisting up to five other policemen are guilty.

I will keep you updated on this.

“Our close friends’ daughter was shot in the head in front of her children by her husband who was a police chief in our community”

So the kids saw (Step-?)Daddy murder Mommy? Hopefully he is not still the chief of the force.

Thank you for your service, fireman15.
