I’ve been tracking all the latest news related to the beating death of Kelly Thomas by the Fullerton Police Department. The Orange County community is inflamed over the excess use of force on this mentally ill man who had schizophrenia. The anger and the resentment the community and the family members of Mr. Thomas feel are rightfully so. It’s hard to accept that six officers can unjustly beat an unarmed human being with or without provocation.  Read more >
