those cops deserve to be prosecuted, found guilty, and imprisoned. I would never use excessive force on a human being like that as a cop unless I'm being physically attacked. Clearly this man was doing nothing wrong nor attacking the police.

Fucking Wankers, he didn't deserve ANY of that. Fuckin sick bastards.

these cops should be in prison

This guy could hardly defend himself could he? Even if he wanted to. He didn't show any intentions of violence and was pleading with them, clearly struggling to breathe, and thats BEFORE they tasered him.

If these fucking pricks kill a man pleading and begging for them just to lay off him, then what chance has someone got if they resist?

Hearing a fully grown man begging for his Dad to help him is just painful to watch, I feel for this man and his family. I hope when they finally got up off him after he went quiet and stood over him admiring their nights work they were fucking proud of themselves.

This kind of shit, and MANY other videos of other instances that I have witnessed, have led me to a simple decision. I will defend myself and my rights from the police if necessary. That means when they see my carry permit and ask for my handgun, I tell them no. If they demand, I still tell them no. If it looks like I am about to get assaulted by badge wearing criminals, then it's on. And I realize there are several trolls that will give me the " oh, yeah, tough guy, how about when you get shot at, huh?" bullshit. Been deployed, been shot at, know EXACTLY how TERRIFYING it is to look down the barrel of a gun pointed at you. I know what I risk by that action, but I'd rather die with holes in me than in a hospital on a monitor with my face beaten in. I have never given a pig a reason to give me a hard time, (not insinuating anything about Kelly Thomas) and haven't been threatened yet, but If they try that beat your ass crap on me, I'll just shoot.

That looked like a gang rape. Someone needs to show those cops how to apply a proper rear-naked choke. That would be a much safer way to subdue someone compared to tasering them and beating them in the head with a flashlight.

He was never a problem at all. The cops instigated this entire encounter. He was polite and non-confrontational at the very start. How sad. Just completely unnecessary. He was crying out for his Daddy to save him right up to the end. Bastards. In my opinion this was premeditated murder. Two sworn officers of the law just bored out of their minds??? Or Assholes looking for some sport? They kept coming back to harass him.

I love the part when they realize he isn't breathing and one ****** coward asks another if he's bleeding and he goes "no that's him, I was on top of him and ran out of options so I used my tazer and started beating his face to hell". A bunch of ******* who got beat up in high school and now exact revenge where they can. Fuckin coward motherfuckers. They should have tazered him waaay early so they didn't need to climb on top of him. It was probably wayyy more fun to use the night stick though, that way it takes longer, and you can get out more aggression. Since the tazer was invented specifically to lower the need for the stick, it has since made the job very boring for the group stick-time participants, and ol'e Kelly got to have some catch-up for the officers who haven't had some stick-time in a while. Pathetic motherfuckers. The amount of blood on the ground is unreal for that scene.

Good police work!! Damn hippies deserve everything they get for growing their hair like ladies!!!God Damnit!!

Daddy was nowhere to help his homeless mental son. Now, he plays the loving family crusader for that big, juicy monetary compensation.
