NEW: L.A. Sheriffs set the standard for dealing with the homeless


Cal Watchdog Editor’s note: This is the second part of a three-part series on how the homeless and mentally ill are treated in California. Part One was about the Kelly Thomas beating and death.

By Tori Richards

Welcome to 450 Bauchet St., a 10-acre compound in the heart of downtown Los Angeles that is the world’s biggest jail. Known as Twin Towers, it has a population greater than many small towns, with 3,911 inmates, 900 staff, and even its own hospital. But it also has another distinction: the world’s largest mental institution.

Housed in one wing and encompassing four floors, the mental health ward tends to approximately 1,200 inmates with psychiatric problems. Several hundred more of the most severe cases are located in the hospital.

California is now a state where the police — not doctors or counselors — are the front lines to millions of mentally ill who have no other recourse than to end up in the jails.

“Sheriff Baca has frequently commented that the mentally ill belong in a mental institution,” said Capt. Mike Parker. “In law enforcement we deal with things because other aspects of society have failed. You have a system not addressing the need. “In the end, law enforcement is the last stop. We’re not looking for that responsibility; it was given to us.”

A breakdown in the system has led to a large population of the mentally ill who turn to crime or simply wander the streets homeless, a recipe for disaster.

Just look at the case of Kelly Thomas, a 37-year-old schizophrenic homeless man who belonged in a mental care facility rather than on the streets.

    Ron Thomas

    I just want to remind everyone that tomorrow; July the 10th is the “Official” date of Kelly’s death. We are not planning anything for this because it was literally machines that kept him alive. As many of you know, his heart stopped three times before he got to the hospital. They murdered him on July 5th, 2011. They must pay for this just as if it were you or I that murdered someone. Wolfe must be charged, and the other three MUST be fired. Dan Hughes has told me that they will not be fired, but I will make it happen with your help. I feel a major protest about to happen if he does not fire them. Please attend the next city council meeting and let’s inform the new council and the city manager of what we want.

      why would Hughes fire them? Hughes gave them all high fives and told them they did nothing wrong… Hughes must go and the rest will work itself out

    • #3 by JustUs on July 9, 2012

      Don’t expect any satisfaction from Hughes. How do you think he rose to the rank of Captain and Acting Chief @ FPD? His good looks? You are going to have to use other means to persuade Hughes to place the interests of the citizens over his little pretties on the force. You should have at least 3 loyal votes on the Council to force Hughes’ hand. If not, perhaps it’s time for another recall. Hughes serves at the pleasure of the Council. Call the dogs out on him.

      • #4 by SherBear on July 10, 2012

        JustUs, to expect the three (as you put it) to vote specifically the way we tell them to or recall them is not only an insult to their integrity but plays into the rumors that the council majority was bought and paid for by one man. I doubt this is really how you meant it. I trust these men (referring actually to Bruce, Travis and Greg) will vote with intelligence, integrity and what they feel is in the best interest of Fullerton residents. Should I ever disagree with a decision they make or anything else, I’ll at least know they did so with the best intentions. I might not like it but no one is going to agree with everyone nor will we agree 100% of the time.

        • #5 by JustUs on July 10, 2012

          “Should I ever disagree with a decision they make or anything else, I’ll at least know they did so with the best intentions. I might not like it but no one is going to agree with everyone nor will we agree 100% of the time”

          You are already setting the tone to be an apologist for the new council members should they fail to walk their talk and clean house. Your attitude is the reason the city, county, state and nation are in so much trouble. Everyone circles the wagons for their friends in office. You should hold Bruce, Travis and Greg’s feet to the same fire and hold them to the same standard as you did the 3 stooges. And if they don’t walk their talk and do the right thing you should publicly chastise them for failing to act. The old line of “I will trust that they are doing the right thing for us” is the reason Fullerton has fallen off the cliff. You folks need to grow up and have one standard for ALL!

      • #6 by SherBear on July 10, 2012

        I would absolutely hold their feet to the fire if I felt they were doing something against the good of the city. I said nothing to hint I wouldn’t. But I do know these men to be of good and strong character so until they show me otherwise, I will support them even if I disagree with them ie Travis and I differ on Coyote Hills but I understand his reasons, which do not include some deal hidden under his sleeve. This is what I meant in my previous comment.

        But to threaten a recall the first time something doesn’t go your way is a far more destructive attitude. If anyone thinks we recalled the three idiots so we could control the council, then you’re completely clueless.

        • #7 by JustUs on July 10, 2012

          SherBear, all I am saying is discard any preconceived notions that you have about the new kids in town. Judge them as you would judge anyone else. Do not blindly support them. That is the WORST thing that you could do to the Fullerton citizens. Mostly, do not give them a pass by saying “they did it with the best of intentions”. Hold their feet to the fire as you would anyone else. In fact, moreso, since they marketed themselves as the ‘good guys’ who would clean house.

          The threat of recall is good. It is one of the only options that good citizens have when they are not being fairly represented or when elected officials gain office under false pretenses. Politicians should ALWAYS be scared of the electorate. Afterall, that is what keeps them in line. They work for YOU – you don’t work for THEM. Never forget that. I commend the good citizens for booting out the 3 stooges. That was a remarkable achievement. Just don’t let your guard down. Once you do that – you’re right back where you started.

        What was with Hughes bringing an extra bodyguard to the KTMF Concert?

        And fellas take off the stupid external tactical vests (I’m talking to you Officer John DeCaprio. Sure, you think it makes you look macho and tough but in reality it looks stupid especially in 90 degree weather.

        This is why the Good Captain-Chief doesn’t wear one.

      How do you get around POBOR to fire the other 3? And how does the City charge anyone for a felony – I thought that required the action of the DA?

      • #10 by John Doe on July 10, 2012

        You cant bring charges to the others without the DA and he already said no more charges will be charged. Ron thinks he can.

          The rules of engagement were applied to a civilian who was mentally handicapped. If you have children or if your family members have children I urge you to examine your conscience that has been seared with a hot iron. Repent and ask for God to forgive you. Wiley Drake spoke some heavy truth. JD if you and all of your FPD pals all think that the 75,000 miles of circulatory system got wound into your body by chance you are greatly deceived. You all like I will meet THE ONE who wound the vascularization just right so it all flows. While Kelly was not cooperative, he was mentally ill which was clearly evident and more importantly he was a human being which to most sociopaths means very little. The law of entropy explains away that your very existence is an accident. Open your eyes. It is never too late to do the right thing.

          • #14 by John Doe on July 10, 2012

            You open up your eyes. The 75,000 miles of circulatory system was damaged by living years on the street. Infected with the bad environment, living in filth etc. The guy was already damaged goods. His heart was bad and probably all his internal organs . So don’t try to tell us that all this happened to a healthy man.

                WTF..We are in Fullerton, not Los Angeles. People eat out of trash cans because they chose to. Isn’t that what daddy Ron said. Kelly wanted to eat out of trashcans and sleep under the freeway. Is that our fault? Why should we take care of the homeless. They are not our responsibility. Ron didn’t give a shit. He hadn’t seen his son in 10 years. Give me a break.

                  JD the agents of the state went too far with Kelly. Kelly like all of the other homeless have the right to live on the street and be given due process no matter how much they may smell or whatever. It is not open season in this country on anyone.

    • #23 by Kirk on July 10, 2012

      First off, thank you for calling out these thugs turned murders. Unfortunatley it took a victim like Kelly and a father like you to finally wake people up to the fact that murder by cop happens way more often than people would care to believe. Second, why does the felony murder rule not apply? If three civilians beat a man to death while 3 other civilians kept onlookers from intervening then all six would be charged with murder in the first. Why has that not even been discussed in this case?

      • #24 by John Doe on July 10, 2012

  3. #40 by Van get it da artiste on July 9, 2012

    The issue is not Fullerton PD being ill equipped to deal with the homeless, mentally ill. The truth is six Fullerton police officers in uniform, in full view of the public beat a man to death. Then these same police officers lied on their reports to cover up this murder. Abetting these criminals masquerading as Fullerton’s law enforcement were there superiors and police chief and members of Fullerton’s city council.
    This corruption of Fullerton police force has its origins in retired Fullerton police chief, Pat McKinley who was disgraced in his recall from Fullerton’ city council.
    The father of murdered Kelly Thomas, Ron Thomas, must relentlessly pursue justice for his son because it is justice for the community of Fullerton . I believe McKinley, Sellers and the four other officers involved in the murder of Kelly , along with City council persons Jones and Bankhead must be punished for their complicit role that promoted a policing philosophy that pitted Fullerton PD against the community they swore to,protect and serve.
    My opinion
    And this is my opinion.

    A judge will not award them anything. There is video conferring they all contributed to Thomas’ death either directly or by failing to stop the murder as it was taken place. Not to mention them laughing about the incident and trying to cover it up, change their reports repeatedly, etc. This will all come out in trial. Once Ramos and Cicinelli are convicted it will make this fact a lot more transparent to those who continue to say “they were just doing their jobs.”

    Brandon #24. if the authorities don’t know what the cause of death to KT is, how will a judge know?

    The video does not confirm or deny anything as you suggest. The autopsy photos of KT show no facial injuries. When he was cleaned up he looked completely normal except for the small scratch on his face.

    “K.T. already got his justice. Sadly, he was mentally ill and not taken care of properly. As a result, he did get his brand of Justice!”

    The Nazi’s felt the very same way about the mentally ill when they started exterminating them, shortly before they began applying the same principles to Jews. Not sure if Hog is a proponent of a eugenics/genocide revitalization, but those are definitely scary words.

  23. #98 by Brandon on July 10, 2012

    Out: The investigation and firings will be coming soon. FPD wants to get rid of everyone involved in the Thomas murder to regain public trust and respect, and avoid future protests/lawsuits. Plus the Feds, who sent the Rodney King beaters to prison, will make the FPD a bigger laughingstock than it already is if they do not deal with the situation properly.

    Hog: Do you really believe the video shows nothing? Even if you are correct, there are numerous witnesses, and the testimony of the officers themselves. I would not be surprised to see Cicinelli and Ramos throw the others under the bus once the trial begins.

  24. #99 by Anonymous II on July 10, 2012

    There are two precedent setting cases against D A’s as we speak, so don’t be too sure about a lawsuit against T-Rack. Both of the DA’s lost their jobs over it.

    The prosecution will not call any of the witnesses that were walking around that night or the ones on the bus at the time. That leaves NO ONE.

Kelly screamed in pain, fear and desperation: “DAD, THEY’RE KILLING ME!!”

    • #124 by Justice for ALL on July 11, 2012

      The Fullerton Police Dept. was being dramatic (liars) when they reported that two of the officers who had MURDERED Kelly Thomas had received “broken bones.”

      Ramos was dramatic when he was so worried about the little boo boo on his elbow that he had the paramedics wipe it off and put a Band-Aid on it and kiss it all better -while mortally wounded Kelly Thomas lay unattended in a huge pool of blood, choking on the blood that was pouring down his throat.

      The video of Kelly being brutally TORTURED and MURDERED by 6 Fullerton Police officers is VERY DRAMATIC and SICKENING, to say the least.

      If you don’t like so much “drama,” you might want to re-think the whole TORTURE and MURDER of citizens thing, -that you seem to approve of and defend so strenuously.

      Let the whole world know that you, John Doe, condone TORTURE and MURDER and you support the FPD MURDERERS.

      Why don’t you have a dramatic protest rally against the D.A. and hold up signs supporting the FPD MURDERERS. Go ahead. Show your support for the MURDERERS in public. I dare you.

      Be sure to hold up the dramatic hospital photo of Kelly with his eye bashed in -next to the photos of the MURDERERS Kenton Hampton, Kevin Craig, James Blatney, Joseph Wolfe, Manuel Ramos and Jay Cicinelli.

        • #126 by John Doe on July 11, 2012

          Justice for ALL :
          @John Doe stated, “Kelly knew what he was doing.”
          The six armed, trained, bullet proof vest wearing “peace officers” KNEW what THEY were doing.
          Ramos and Wolfe, KNEW that Kelly Thomas was UNARMED and that there was NO evidence, and NO witness, to assert that Kelly had committed any felony.
          Ramos KNEW that Kelly Thomas was mentally ill; however, Ramos insisted on escalating the situation by playing inane verbal games with Kelly, by being confrontational, sarcastic, antagonistic, ridiculing, demeaning and hostile towards Kelly, which will NOT gain the trust of a mentally ill person and it will get you absolutely nowhere with someone who is mentally ill. Ramos KNEW that he would be able to quickly antagonize and escalate the situation with Kelly Thomas, a disabled mentally ill person, by using these aggravating tactics.
          Ramos KNEW that his continued verbal harassment of Kelly would escalate the situation and cause Kelly to become much more anxious, fearful, confused, defensive and belligerent than if Ramos had been interacting with a person who was not suffering from mental illness.
          Ramos KNEW that someone who is mentally ill CAN not, and DOES not, respond to stress, to commands, or to questioning in the same way that a person who is not mentally ill would respond.
          Ramos KNEW that Kelly’s mental illness would cause him to process information differently, and with a much more disorganized and confused thought process, than someone who is not mentally ill.
          Ramos KNEW that IF he had been civil, calm, respectful, and NON threatening towards Kelly, and IF Ramos had explained to Kelly that he wanted to take him to the station for questioning, until further investigation was done as to where the junk mail had come from, then Kelly would have very likely cooperated and allowed himself to be cuffed and taken to the jail, IF Kelly had trusted the motives of Ramos.
          Ramos KNEW that he COULD have and that he SHOULD have called for a CIT team to de-escalate the situation and deal appropriately with someone who is mentally ill, especially someone who was unarmed and who had not committed a felony, and someone who was posing NO danger to anyone.
          Ramos KNEW that if he threatened Kelly Thomas with the “ these fists are going to F you up if you don’t comply” threat, that he would be escalating the situation, that he would cause Kelly to fear for his life, and that he would cause an already confused mind to become even more confused, anxious, fearful and agitated. Ramos KNEW that his actions would escalate the situation with a mentally ill person, instead of de-escalating the situation.
          Ramos KNEW that Kelly was backing away from him because Ramos had just threatened Kelly with great bodily harm and because Kelly, who was mentally ill, was finally becoming agitated and afraid, just as Ramos had planned. Ramos still KNEW that Kelly Thomas was unarmed and that he was not a threat to the officers’ lives, and that there was NO evidence that Kelly had committed any felony. The officers KNEW that they could have called a CIT team to assist them with a mentally ill person.
          Ramos and Wolfe KNEW that if they called for backup, that Kelly would receive a brutal beating.
          The officers KNEW that Kelly was unarmed, and NOT a threat to anyone. They knew Kelly was backing AWAY out of fear for his safety. Yet, Wolfe decided to strike Kelly Thomas brutally with his baton, and then smash Kelly’s head into the curb.
          The officers KNEW that if they kicked someone and beat someone in the ribs long enough, their ribs would break and puncture and collapse a lung, and that lung would fill with blood -causing a person to have difficulty breathing.
          They KNEW that if enough overweight cops pushed down hard enough with all of their weight that they would be able to crush Kelly’s chest and deprive him of oxygen.
          They KNEW that if they choked Kelly long enough they would be able to render him unconscious.
          They KNEW that if they knee dropped on Kelly’s throat they would crush his throat.
          Cicinelli KNEW that if he bludgeoned Kelly’s eye with the butt end of a Tazer that it would obliterate Kelly’s eye.
          Cicinelli KNEW that if he used that much force bludgeoning Kelly’s face that it would smash facial bones, cause brain damage and cause massive bleeding and choking on blood.
          They KNEW that if they Tazered someone enough times that it could stop their heart.
          They KNEW that if they saw massive amounts of blood on the ground that Kelly was bleeding out.
          They KNEW that Kelly was begging for his life, calling them “SIR,” apologizing to them, telling them that he was having trouble breathing, screaming in pain, calling for his dad and God to save him, over and over again; nonetheless, the merciless officers continued beating and Tazing Kelly until he was dead.
          The officers KNEW that Kelly was severely injured and that he was lying in a huge pool of blood, yet they showed him no mercy.
          They KNEW that Kelly had been Tazered repeatedly; they KNEW that Kelly had had his head bashed in; they KNEW that they had been choking and kicking Kelly repeatedly.
          They KNEW that Kelly could not have possibly stood up, or run away, or harmed any of the six bullet proof vest wearing officers in any way, shape, or form. However, the six were not to be satisfied until Kelly was dead.
          They KNEW that when someone is no longer responsive to blows and pain -that the person is unconscious, yet they CONTINUED to bludgeon, knee drop and Taser the unarmed, unconscious Kelly Thomas who was being held down.
          They KNEW that when unconscious Kelly was lying in a huge pool of blood, and choking on blood, that he was mortally wounded and dying, yet they did NOT offer Kelly any first aid.
          The officers KNEW that Kelly was unconscious and bleeding to death and choking on his own blood, yet the officers had the paramedics attend to their own little scraped elbows, BEFORE giving any first aid to Kelly.
          The officers KNEW they had just murdered Kelly Thomas, so they made sure to check where their DARs were, while they ignored brutally beaten Kelly Thomas lying in a huge pool of blood.
          The officers KNEW they had just murdered Kelly Thomas in the street, in front of witnesses, so they confiscated video cameras and cell phones to hide/tamper with evidence. The officers also threatened and intimidated a woman into giving them a roll of photographic film that she had in her camera.
          The officers KNEW they had just MURDERED Kelly Thomas, so they were very careful to cover their tracks by corroborating and re-writing their reports many, many times.
          The FPD KNEW that the pole video would be damning evidence, so they tampered with the evidence and reduced the clarity of the video.
          The FPD KNEW that their officers had just murdered Kelly Thomas, so they started putting out false information about officers’ “broken bones” and they immediately activated their thin blue line of silence.
          Sellers KNEW that the FPD had just murdered Kelly Thomas, so he jumped ship and went on vacation and then immediately went on medical leave, and then retired, -all in an effort to avoid having to face up to his responsibility for the corruption in the FPD.
          McKinley, Jones and Bankhead KNEW they were in DEEP DOO DOO, so they began their ludicrous efforts to try to minimize Kelly’s injuries, (even though Kelly was DEAD). They began their campaign of obfuscation, denial and non-responsibility to the citizens of Fullerton.
          The six officers KNEW that the thin blue line of silence, and POBAR, would cover up their MURDER.
          The officers KNEW that they would have unlimited funds and a friendly D.A. at their disposal -to defend their “right” to MURDER someone under color of authority.

      The FPD KNEW that their officers had just murdered Kelly Thomas, so they started putting out false information about officers’ “broken bones” and they immediately activated their thin blue line of silence.

      Sellers KNEW that the FPD had just murdered Kelly Thomas, so he jumped ship and went on vacation and then immediately went on medical leave, and then retired, -all in an effort to avoid having to face up to his responsibility for the corruption in the FPD.

      McKinley, Jones and Bankhead KNEW they were in DEEP DOO DOO, so they began their ludicrous efforts to try to minimize Kelly’s injuries, (even though Kelly was DEAD). They began their campaign of obfuscation, denial and non-responsibility to the citizens of Fullerton.

      The six officers KNEW that the thin blue line of silence, and POBAR, would cover up their MURDER.

      The officers KNEW that they would have unlimited funds and a friendly D.A. at their disposal -to defend their “right” to MURDER someone under color of authority.

        Kelly knew what he was doing
        Kelly was egging the cops on
        Kelly was disrespectful
        Kelly was a jerk
        Kelly said the “F” word more than 10 times
        Kelly resisted arrest
        Kelly has big balls
        Kelly was smelly
        Kelly was dirty
        Kelly was drunk
        Kelly did not have a crushed thorax\
        Kelly did not have broken ribs
        Kelly got up and ran
        Kelly did not comply with officers commands
        Kelly punched Officer Wolfe in the forehead
        Kelly grabbed Officer Ramos’ baton
        Kelly was kicking the officers
        Kelly was screaming like a little bitch, but would not comply
        Kelly tried to grab Officer Cicinelli’s taser
        It took six officers to try to control Kelly.
        No one sat or crushed Kelly
        No one killed Kelly.

          Officer Ramos did not know Kelly
          Officer Wolfe did not know Kelly
          Officer Cicinelli did not know Kelly
          Officer Hampton did not know Kelly
          Officer Blatney did not know Kelly
          Officer Craig did not know Kelly
          Officer Ramos was very professional with Kelly
          Officer Wolfe was very professional with Kelly
          Officer Ramos was very calm with Kelly
          Officer Wolfe was very calm with Kelly
          Officer Ramos was very patient with Kelly
          Officer Wolfe was very patient with Kelly
          Kelly brought the incident on by being very disrespectful and not complying with the officers.
          Kelly was dropping the f bomb and officer Ramos did not tell him to stop.
          Kelly had the right to say “Fuck”, but not Officer Ramos.
          We all know that saying the F word is not second degree murder.
          Just a word to make Kelly comply, which he had no intention of doing.
          Maybe Ron Thomas should of taught him to have respect for the law.

    Nomad, the blood is on the hands of Ron Thomas, why do you think he works so hard to blame others for K’s death. He feels the guilt.

    And again I ask why Ron T. was asked to leave the police academy after only three months. Does anyone know? I think the reasons he was asked to leave tie in with Kelly’s mental illness. Telling everyone he was a LEO. What a wanna be. A legend in his own mind.

    That is why he hates cops, cause he couldn’t be one.

  39. #147 by Brandon on July 11, 2012

    Nah, the blood is on the hands of the murders. I could stoop to your level and blame their parents for not helping them to get the psychological help/anger management they needed, or not raising them better, but I understand that Cicinelli and Ramos made their own decisions, just like Kelly Thomas made his. One could ask why Jay Cicinelli went against the wishes of LAPD and secretly, and perhaps illegally, conjured up a deal to move departments. As much as you try to shift the blame to the victims, you have no facts to back up your nonsense. Nor to address any of the questions surrounding Cicinelli’s own mental illness, and the role it played in him being declared an unfit cop. Just having a missing eye is not reason enough to try and force a cop into retirement. Let’s be real for a second if you can face the truth.

    I think that is what happens to cities who don’t properly screen their officers or make secret deals to let potentially mentally unstable officers on the force.

  42. #150 by John Doe on July 11, 2012

    No that is not it.

  43. #151 by Hog Wild on July 11, 2012

    My very complete research shows that Cicinelli was never declared unfit and was even offered a job with LAPD.

    There were other circumstances surrounding the issue and therefore he decided not to stay. The chief at the time was taking so much heat that he took the easy way out and offered Cicinelli a peace offering. That was for the chief more than anything else. Ask him.

    But he was never declared unfit mentally. None of his records show anything like that.

    Like it or not, that’s the way it was.

    And you are right, the blood is on the hands of the murderers. Kelly himself and RT.

    And no deal was conjured up for Cicinelli to move departments. He worked for a year with no salary to prove himself, and did so, and was hired by the vote of the city council not the chief. A different council than the current one or ex-current one. And it included the city manager and the city attorney. So all of you blaming Mc for hiring these guys, think again. You are blaming the wrong people.

    Man, FPD must be scared shitless of what the Feds are going to find. If they can scare much bigger cities like Seattle and Oakland into not beating up citizens, imagine the effect they can have on Fullerton. When you throw in all of the cities nationwide that have been/are in the process of shifting from city police to sheriffs to save money; Millbrae, Camden, Boynton Beach, Barstow, Yorba Linda, etc., I wonder how much longer Hughes is going to pretend like he can keep Hampton, Craig, and Blatney on the force without dire consequences.

  46. #157 by Brandon on July 11, 2012

    Kelly and RT are the murderers? I must’ve missed that one.

    According to L.A. Times article: “In September, Cicinelli said an internal Los Angeles Police Department memo that indicated he would be fired had been leaked to him.”

    His mom: “his job is gone and his dream of being a police officer is gone.”

    Cicinelli himself: I think he (Michael Hillman) had a lot to do with getting me this job, I know he was good friends with Chief Pat McKinley”

    It’s fairly like that if Cicinelli himself admitted he was only able to get hired on as a personal favor to a former boss, the brass were able to get psychologists to look the other way regarding his mental stability.

  47. #158 by Brandon on July 11, 2012

I work with Emotionally Disturbed children, and I know how difficult they can be, even when taking their meds and in a structured environment. Take those things out, and it’s nearly impossible to reason with them. I wish some of the people on here would learn a little about the disease before making inane comments about how the Thomas’ should have done a better job controlling their son. I have not heard one valid suggestion on here about how you force a grown person with schizophrenia to take their meds or stay off the streets. Good luck with your son in the future.

    Ron is no more responsible for Kelly’s behaviors than the Cicinelli’s were for not helping their son get proper mental care after being shot. The only difference is Kelly annoyed people, Jay murdered someone. One could argue Jay was more imbalanced than Kelly. Or that the Thomas’ did a better job of instilling morals in their son than the Cicinelli’s. All we know for sure though is both men were responsible for their own actions.

        Its less about the badge and all about power through fear and intimidation. There are thousands of these thugs making their way up through the ranks of law enforcement both local and federal who would love nothing more than to turn this country into a tyrannical 3rd world nation.

    It was all a hoax j.d cici’s biological dad faked his own death just so he could put some distance between himself and that family of inbreds

      “They are not that smart;” that’s why they are hanging themselves with their own words, every day.

    Hog Wild :Justice, been thinkin’ about your missive to JD and have gone over it several times.
    The conclusion I have drawn from it is that the officers should have just shot KT and been done with it. Sound crass? If they had done that we would not be here today hashing this over.
    What a mess!

    John Doe :That one eye so call beast is gonna be a millionaire and you are not. Why would he want to be a cop. He can just live off his millions.

    So can we JD were loaded just like you, we earned our milions by collecting cans. We do agree on one thing if Kt dad would have forced his son to stay home against hes own free will that brain damaged one eyed beast would not have been able to beat him to death with his tazer. He was lookin kinda seedy in court today looks like hes rotting from the inside outs

    What about Ramos, Wolfe, and Goodrich Mrs. Doe? Seriously, is there a weight limit for being an officer? I mean, those guys couldn’t catch a double leg amputee without calling for back-up.

    Were you the fat dirty blond stringy hair guy with a JUSTICE 4 KELLY t-shirt? Oh wait, all you guys looked the same.
