File Federal Charges Against the Officers Who Beat Homeless and Mentally-Challenged Kelly Thomas to Death

Created by J.A. on January 14, 2014

In Fullerton, California on July 5, 2011 officers Manuel Ramos and Jay Cicinelli along with at least 4 other officers beat a mentally-challenged homeless man by the name of Kelly Thomas into unconsciousness. Mr. Thomas died five days later on July 10, 2011 after being taken off of life support. Medical records show that bones in his face were broken and he choked on his own blood. The coroner concluded that compression of the thorax made it impossible for Thomas to breathe normally and deprived his brain of oxygen. There was obviously excessive use of force here and these murderers deserve to pay for the inhumane crime they have committed. We the people demand justice for Kelly Thomas.
