We visited one of our favorite dining venues last Tuesday, September 27, The Old Spaghetti Factory in Fullerton, CA. Unfortunately, knowing that Kelly Thomas was brutally murdered by six out-of-control Fullerton police officers only a few hundred feet away, left a bad taste in our mouths, so to speak.
Kelly Thomas was a 37-year old homeless man. Perhaps his appearance offended some people. Perhaps his seemingly aimless ways scared some people. Perhaps his mental problems gave the police an excuse to regard him as non-compliant.
None of these are “criminal” offenses. The Fullerton police had no right to administer “street justice”, to brutally murder Kelly Thomas. If they felt he had broken some law, they should have taken him into custody and let the courts determine his guilt or innocence.
The mission of the police should be “to protect and serve”. The actions of these Fullerton police officers have given a black eye to law enforcement. It is unfortunate that Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas only decided to pursue criminal charges against two officers, Manuel Ramos, accused of second-degree murder, and Jay Cicinelli, accused of the lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter. At the very least, the other four officers should have been charged with conspiracy and/or excessive use of force, if not involuntary manslaughter.
The people of Orange County should be legitimately concerned that Rackauckas will “blow” this case, much the same way that his counterpart, former Los Angeles City Attorney Gil Garcetti, “blew” the Rodney King beating case, as well as the OJ Simpson murders, by allowing sympathetic juries to be impaneled. After all, it is abundantly clear that the only reasons Rackauckas filed any charges at all was (1) to further his own already tarnished image, and (2) because the FBI was ready to take over if Rackauckas didn’t act.
Epilogue—The three Fullerton City Councilmembers who tried to sweep this entire matter under the rug should be recalled. Had it not been for some alert citizens who caught this horrific execution on video tape and came forward, these six Fullerton officers would have undoubtedly gotten away with their crime.

As I said many times before: These COPs will walk!
The problem are the left liberal socialists who protect such brutality by claiming that not all COPs are bad.
OK, where are the good COPs?….. the one who posted bail for Ramos?
The left liberal socialists also support the unions which protect COPs regardless of what brutality they commit on duty. (See German Workers Party)
The Police brutality against USA Citizens is directly proportional to Obama’s brutality against the USA Citizens around the world.
Obama is first president who overtly ordered assassination of the USA citizen without a trial.
That will trickle down to local law enforcement quickly and there will be no more brutal beating to death, the sniper bullet will be used controlled by these street cameras.
Technology is here and plenty off the left liberal socialists who will support such law enforcement.
In Santa Ana the Police Chief and City Manager Paul Walters is using SAPD13 death squad to substitute for a technology.
Bullet in the back of the head is the name of the game in Santa Ana.
In average 17 SAPD13 assassinations of youth without a trial per year in Santa Ana, more than any terrorist group in the world. Name 17 assassinations by the Al Qaeda last year……..
Where is FBI?….. Busy to do same on Obamas orders.
That is what you want that is what you will get you moron mongoloids.
Joint LEFT LIBERAL SOCIALISTS and bring your brown shirts. (probably green)
Ironically this will always lead to a “pogrom” since the left liberal socialists wants the money from the Bankers, Wall-street and Corporations.
Enjoy.
Good job, Mister Eddie Rose, you unleashed the extreme wackos for your cause. No wonder you are a “former” city councilman.
“you unleashed the extreme wackos for your cause”……. Hmmmm
It is this kind of self esteem which I love, the dark force of self destruction.
Do you and Tony Bushala get high together? Your rebutals make no sense whatsoever.
