The city surveillance video that shows a group of Fullerton police
officers beating a homeless mentally ill man to death last year was
finally released today, laying to rest any argument that Kelly Thomas
was a threat to officers.
The shocking video, which was combined with an audio recorder worn by
one of the police officers on the night of July 5, 2011, was shown in
court today, then later released to the media.
“Now you see my fists?” Fullerton police officer Manny Ramos asked Thomas while slipping on a pair of latex gloves.
“Yeah, what about them?” Thomas responded.
“They are getting ready to fuck you up,” said Ramos, a burly cop who appears to outweigh Thomas by 100 pounds.
