In 2011, two Fullerton California police officers beat to death a mentally ill homeless man named Kelly Thomas, 37. The two officers were acquitted of all charges on Monday January 13 in an Orange County court room. Thomas's mother was quoted in the Huffington Post as saying, "Part of me died that night...They got away with it."
Kelly's father, Ron, was a retired police officer who was devestated by
his son's death especially with the release of the security videotape
from a nearby building of the encounter with the police on that July
evening. (It is on the internet, but we will not provide a link. It is
too gruesome to watch).
