Why does a father let his son live on the streets?
That's just plain murder.
They better be put on trail!!!

If that kid had been black, Fullerton would be burning right now.

The homeless guy probably spit at them, gave them some obscenities and swung at em.

The first cops to encounter the guy probably went ballistics after getting tooled by the homeless guy because they hate that sh'it.

They don't know at that moment he's a mental case.

Then it was a chain reaction after that as they beat the sh'it out of him.

Their adrenaline kicked in and they forgot everything about police work.

After they were done with him they all came to the "Oh Fuk!!!" moment.

Now a days you have to be real careful what you say and how you act when you come in contact with police.

You never know if the cop is in a bad mood and/or had a bad day or he's sadistic, etc etc.

This kind of sh'it happens all over the world ......

They killed HIM for being on the street, and nothing else but maybe a little disrespect

I wanna know what can more cruel than six pigs beating someone to death as he's calling out Dad, Dad, Dad, ?...tell me.

Let the DA, St. Atty. Genl (Kamala Harris) look into this.

Question for Fatty or others - what should concerned bystanders have done in this case? What if someone had approached the cops and politely asked them to stop beating this guy? My guess is that they would be have been immediately tased and probably beaten.

Who trained these guys - the Syrians?

The OC Coroner has reported the autopsy was inconclusive with regard to cause of death. I'm no coroner, but what that tells me is that Kelley had more than one injury which could have caused his death, but the damage was so massive they could not tell heads for tails.

"inconclusive"
Dude as a medical guy I will tell that is 100 percent bullshit and POLITICAL!

it may or may not be the case in Fullerton, but in some juridictions, the coroner does not have to be an MD or even have a kollege degree

Uh Oh. Is the DA’s Investigation in the Hands of the Chief’s Good Buddy?

We may have figured out why it took the District Attorney investigators three weeks to start talking to witnesses on the Kelly Thomas police beating case…



According to this unsigned note that just came in to our website, Chief Sellers is a close personal friend of DA investigator Stan Berry, who was immediately assigned to the high-profile Fullerton case:

I suggest you check into the connection between Investigator Berry and FPD Chief Sellers. Sellers hired Berry when he was the Chief at Seal Beach PD. Sellers and his wife Rita Fraser-Sellers, are close personal friends with Berry and his wife, Kristen Berry, the Dispatch Supervisor in Seal Beach. They socialize together, vacation together and entertain each other in their respective homes.

Of all the DA investigators, why choose Berry, other than he will help cover for his friend.
Presumably that case assignment was a decision made by the DA Tony Rackauckas. I have confirmed that Berry worked as an investigator under Chief Sellers for the Seal Beach Police Department.

As for as the familial socializing, entertaining and vacationing together…maybe the Chief can clear that one up for us.

If our informant is correct, this would be a huge conflict of interest in a very high-profile investigation.

I should have killed them, they both earned it by bad decisions.

The evil one

Not only have these cops not been arrested, but they were kept on the job until just recently, almost a FULL MONTH after the attack. Now they are on leave

Anyone here that holds hostilities towards COPS in general simply because they got ticketed or hassled are a bunch FOOLS...

The Blue Code of Silence (also known as the "Blue Shield") is an unwritten rule among police officers in the United States not to report on another colleague's errors, misconducts or crimes. Other names associated with the Blue Code of Silence are the blue wall, curtain, veil, or cocoon. If questioned about an incident of misconduct involving another officer (e.g. during the course of an official inquiry), while following the Blue Code of Silence, the officer being questioned would claim ignorance of another officer's wrongdoing.

Some police officers enforce a tribal value system also known as an emotional value system which is considered to be a "police family" or "police brotherhood". The tribal value system is a part of the Blue Code of Silence. Members of the tribal system generally receive emotional support and security from other police officers. The Blue Code of Silence is considered to be controversial because it questions ethics and values in law enforcement. In some cases, many police officers have been pressured into following the Blue Code of Silence.[1]

I wonder if the freddies are looking at this.

Riley,You're all worked up about this.

Granite- this is maybe the most heinous thing I have ever seen.

As we all should be, Jeff. Not that we should form lynch mobs, but that we should continue to express our outrage loudly and frequently, because if we do not, then this will get swept under the carpet.

"Hi, I'm Tony Rackauckas. Don't I look pretty? It wasn't MY head that go pulverized. hahaha. Remember to vote for me!"

When all attempts to thwart blame fail, hire a consultant.

t doesn't really matter what Fullerton's response is, you folks with pitchforks will still be unhappy.

Anyone know if video pre-beatdown is available? I only saw one and it just had yelling in the background, but no view of what occurred.

It doesn't really matter what Fullerton's response is, you folks with pitchforks will still be unhappy.

If you are a jerk to the cop you WILL lose

Embattled Fullerton police chief goes on medical leave
Chief Michael Sellers has been under pressure to step down after six officers were involved in a confrontation with a homeless man, who later died from his injuries.

By Abby Sewell and Richard Winton, Los Angeles Times
August 11, 2011

Fullerton Police Chief Michael Sellers has taken medical leave amid calls for his resignation as six of his officers are being investigated for their role in the death of a homeless man.

Sellers has been under mounting pressure to answer questions about the night of July 5, when officers responding to reports of an attempted vehicle break-in near a bus station confronted Kelly Thomas, a 37-year-old schizophrenic homeless man who had become a fixture in downtown Fullerto

And I have little doubt the watch commander will lie to protect the team

The LEO overreacted and you did as well. You should have offered blood after the second breathlyr.

It takes about 100k to train an LEO,

Do you not want findings that the officer(s) committed excessive force by an independent reviewer? Or you just want them to admit something bad happened now, without looking at all the evidence?

The hacker group Anonymous has announced that it would take down the Fullerton Police Department's website by noon today if the Orange County city didn't relent to its demands regarding the beating death of homeless Kelly Thomas.

The group announced "Operation Fullerton" Friday in an attempt to get the city and Orange County District Attorney to take action against the six cops who used deadly force against the 37-year-old after being called to the Fullerton Transportation Center July 5 based on reports that someone was breaking into cars.

Here's what Anonymous says it wants:

1) We demand the prosecution of Officers Jay Cicinelli, Kenton Hampton, Manny Ramos, Joe Wolfe, James Blatney, and anyone else involved in the gruesome beating, torture, and murder of Kelly Thomas.

2) We demand the immediate resignation of the Chief of Police in Fullerton, California.

3) We demand that the City of Fullerton immediately pay a lump sum settlement of no less than 5 million dollars to the legal survivors of Kelly Thomas.


ABC7 reported last night that the city was making preparations for the attack. Even so there was speculation that a well-organized move to take down the police department's website could affect its servers on a deeper level and even cause disruptions to the city's 911 system.

Anonymous:
"And you can expect Anonymous, we now officially launch "Operation Fullerton". We will begin dismantling the City of Fullerton's interwebz starting tomorrow at high Noon Pacific Time. We will remove from the world wide web the site belonging to the Fullerton Police Department located at http://www.ci.fullerton.ca.us/depts/police - and in addition we will Black Fax and E-Mail Bomb every inbox at the Fullerton City Police Department. This cyber action by Anonymous will be accompanied by a protest on the ground tomorrow."


The beating death has prompted outrage in the Orange County city, with some in the community calling for the police chief and some on the City Council to resign. The chief has taken a leave of absence.

When I took the pittance I accepted as payment for having my elbow dislocated and being punched up while in cuffs, and signed away my rights in exchange, I was a fool under the sway of a attorneys mouth, who kept pushing me to accept their puny offers. My case never went on any record, was never made public, and the officer got a f*#king wrist slap and may have gone out and killed the next guy.

Next time, it FIRST goes to trail, THEN I sue the piss out of the city, and F*#K the attorneys who play Monte Hall all day long with the rights of the American citizens.

he said he has had a few brushes of how eye and didn't die?

One day I was on this conference call. My attendance was mandatory but I was for that call a listener only, a non-contributor.

It was a cacaphony of voices, a babble of languages, all arguing and trying to talk over one another. And it went on and on and on....

I had to take a leak so I got up, left the phone there, and went and did my business. Came back, picked up the phone - more of the same, no one noticed I was gone.

David Borsari, who represented Mam in the trial, said the cellphone video Mam shot that Oct. 23 night ultimately saved him at trial.

"It contradicted the police reports and testimony of the officers in every way," he said. "The video proved what they said wasn't true."
