I just found out about the beating and death of Kelly Thomas at the hands of 6 police officers. There is an article and a video I will link and embed below. In the cell phone video from the scene you can here him screaming for his dad. Makes me so angry when I hear that. Makes me wanna cry at the same time.
We DEMAND that something be done about this. We DEMAND that these police officers names be made public. We demand that they ALL be tried for murder and if the state and government don't handle it I think we the people have to stand up and do something ourselves. What we should do I am not sure of. Rioting and destroying property isn't going to fix anything. Turning out in front of the police station daily until something is done.
I don't live in the area this happened in unfortunately. If I did I would be MORE then happy to turn out in front of the police station and pressure these people as much as is legally possible.
This is just another reason we need to make sure we record the police every chance we get. Even if it is for a minor traffic stop. They need to know that we, their bosses, are watching them and if they step out of line even a little bit there will be severe consequences.
WARNING: The images in this video and article are very graphic.
Here's the link to the story.
And here's the video.
