    The officers involved in the brutal beating of Kelly Thomas need to be brought to justice. Their actions were deemed unlawful therefore shall not be cloaked under absolute immunity. If the D.A. is involved in this cover-up they also need to be brought to justice as well.

    Enough of these tragedies have occurred do not wait until the next one to make changes. Education and training needs to occur, responsibility and accountability need to be placed, and mental illness needs to be de-stigmatized.

    I hate you mother ****ing police and I'm not afraid to say it. I'll hate you forever for what you've done to me, Kelly Thomas, and all the countless victims of your ignorance and brutality. I hope you suffer for what you've done. I hope you pay the ultimate price.

    Abusive and excessive force must stop! A friend was slammed to the ground and beaten by a police officers; even when he had committed no crime. Subsequently, he was charge for resisting arrest and nothing else. If he was resisting arrest, what was he being arrested for? He did no crime. Just corrupt police who like to bully and terrorize citizens as they please. A uniformed mafia! Tyranny! I love the USA, but I sure hate the police state!

    This mentality is bred throughout the "police" force. Sad to say I am not at all suprised that this has happened. The district attourney has this same sick mind state because this is what they are bred to think like. These are not "people". They are the very animals who they claim their "job" is to "control".

    The police officers who are responsible for his brutal murder must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and made an example of. I agree with this statement 100%.

    The Public Demands Justice for Kelly Thomas. The police officers who are responsible for his brutal murder must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and made an example of. Laws must be put in place to demand that this sort of police disregard and brutality not be condoned.

    I don't think this potential law goes far enough and there needs to be federally run internal affairs unit that only reports to congress. This unit should have powers that can only arrest, investigate, detain police from state, county, local enforcement. They would be able to enter any police station, unannounced to copy, confiscate all police documents for potential abuse reviews.

    I'm an old retired RN, and USMC veteran, tough enough, but Kelly Thomas' cries for Dad! Dad! as he was beaten to death in Fullerton, CA by several cops who each outweighed his skinny frame, make me weep in shame for those in uniform who stood by and did nothing. What madness, please find a way to stop this murder on our streets by our so-called protectors. As a nurse, I generally like cops, but there are way too many who are thugs.
