New video released of police beating Kelly Thomas to death (graphic photo in thread)

[aGameOfThrones]

Circular force continuum. If he had immediately complied and been choked to death then they wouldn't have needed to beat him. I know some bleeding heart will probably post that he may have been mentally ill but EVERYBODY knows that you should submit to lawful actions by a police officer. People that are mentally ill just like to use their illness as an excuse. Now, all because of him, two officers with YEARS of service and more than likely commendations and such might lose their jobs over this.

That's the real tragedy.

I'm really getting tired of all these cop hating threads, can't you see he did it to himself?

Has anyone seen this story on CNN, CBS, Fox, MSNBC, or any major media network?

I really don't understand why the US policeman are such sadist.

It's an intoxication to power. Being in positions of authority has a strange way of doing that.

The american public demands it. Otherwise such shows as COPS, Police Women of Broward County and Inside of American Jail would be boring and T.V. would revert to a wasteland dominated by lame sitcoms and Jerry Springer.

Good question. I highly doubt you will. At least not the full details and I'm sure they'll find a way to spin it.

Ever watch The Twilight Zone?
That was 50 years ago, and to this day nothing can top it.

Only in re-runs. Loved it.

Not good enough. From your link:

Six officers arrived at the scene for back-up, but the district attorney determined that there was only enough evidence to charge Ramos and Cicinelli in Thomas' death.

Those other officers should have been charged at least with accessory to murder.

Drake does it again!! Bravo

I totally agree. Unless they are good cops like to one who shot my autistic step kid five times and was found guilty of no wrong doing and was back on the job in six months

I would like to see this on ALL of the above.

The media is so complicit in this. Just because it made it to TV this incident, along with Hope Stephie and the little girl selling lemonade and the other little girl crying as the TSA butch put her hands all the way into the little girl's pants. ALL of it should be showed together on national TV at prime time and then repeated. I would be happy if they gave it just half the attention of this F'n gay marriage issue

I seem to remember not that long ago a bunch of kids were arrested for watching a couple of kids fight. Some of these kids got arrested for just being at the place where the fight took place and not doing anything. Seems to me that if ordinary citizens can be arrested for witnessing a beating then the police should even be more accountable.

Cop hater. Your collectivism has undermined the Ron Paul movement with our law enforcement brethren. Hope you're happy with yourself. We could be winning primaries if not for people like you!

I agree. Such savages they are for assuming cops are bad. Cops dedicate their lives to protecting us. It's a damn shame this one little incident casts a cloud on the ENTIRE police force. We can only hope our TPD helps to get these heros the kind of legal defense that only they are worthy of.

Violence is not the path to liberty. It will only strengthen the state.

And for those who don't understand what "resisting arrest" means, it is a catch all that they can (and do) charge anybody with. Unless you immediately dive head first into their cop car, you may be charged (and even then they will make up something else to get you on).

Unfortunately violence is the only way to liberty
