sorry to quote myself.This happened 7/5, and it is now 8/23/11. The city council just last week called for an investigation? This city's police dept. has been out of control, it seems, for a long time. Get rid of all of them and start over, imo. Just because some officers or brass may not have been involved, I don't buy it for a minute that they didn't know that this crap was going on.
They need to clean house immediately, imo, and move this investigation along on all fronts.
Gitana1, please let us know what is going on when you can. ty
The attorney representing the family of Kelly Thomas says he has graphic new evidence detailing the fatal injuries suffered by the 37-year old-during an arrest by Fullerton police last month.
DA has the opportunity to press criminal charges against all 6 officers today. Let's see if the right thing is done here.
I am really upset with the coroners report and that they "can't find a cause of death".
All you really have to do to figure it out is listen to the peoples reaction to the beating and then the picture of the victims face.
It's not that hard to figure out.
DO THE RIGHT THING.
In addition to Orange County prosecutors, the FBI and a police watchdog hired by the city are conducting separate investigations. The city has refused to release the names of the officers who are being investigated. The officers have been placed on leave.
An attorney for the officers said Thomas violently struggled with officers. Residents have organized a recall election of three council members they say have been unresponsive to concerns regarding the incident.
With calls from Thomas' father, Ron Thomas, for Police Chief Michael Sellers to resign, Fullerton's top cop went on a medical leave last month.
That poor man suffered so much! :tsktsk:According to the attorney, Thomas suffered a shattered nose, brain trauma, smashed cheek bone, broken ribs and severe internal bleeding.
Here's me with my giant sign at Saturday's protest. Don't worry, i don't look like that in Court!: http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=210303872366151&set=a.210276765702195.55975.197892353607303&type=1&theater
Gitana, I second the 'bless you' for what you're doing. I know how draining-yet-empowering protesting can be. Thank you!
Coroners report is in. Press conference tomorrow morning regarding charging any officers. If I heard the report correctly spokesperson say neither side will be happy.
