This happened in Fullerton CA, not too far from where I am. 3 cops were originally going to be charged with manslaughter (should have been murder), but only 2 stood trial. Today those 2 cops were found not guilty despite a 30 minute video showing the entire beating as well as police needlessly torturing the man. Kelly Thomas was stopped by two officers one night to be questioned about recent car break in's in the neighborhood. Thomas did not resist, even as the cop told him "I'm about to fuck you up". He was beaten, had his face stomped on, and held down and tasered, and beaten with a baton by 6 cops for 20 minutes, after which he was taken to a hospital where he later died. I saw this video about 6 months ago, and thought there was no way these thugs in blue were getting out of prison. Just another example of how having a badge gives extra rights.
Here is the video for those who need to see it to believe it. The violence starts at around 14 or 15 minutes, but its worth hearing the conversation at 7 minutes +
