    Police are here to protect and serve! I have the utmost respect for what they do, day in and day out. But it seems, that more and more, we read or see stories about excessive force! Something needs to change! And if there is excessive force used, officers need to be accountable, just like the people that they are policing! Officers are not to be ABOVE the laws that they are sworn to uphold!!!!

    ALL police officers must be required to complete CIT training. I am a licensed mental health professional and police need EDUCATION about mental health issues so tragedy such as the brutal and unnecessary death of Kelly Thomas stop happening.

    I am terrified that what happened to Kelly Thomas will also happen to my son. We need to make sure the weak and vulnerable are not taken advantage of by our law enforcement. Rest in peace Kelly

    The conduct of the officers in Fullerton Ca regarding the beating death of Kelly Thomas is atrocious. We need a way to make law enforcement accountable for brutality so that they never get the impression that they are above the law.

    This is why we need to be able to film and record police officers on duty, to protect our civil liberties and our human rights.

    If an officer is held responsible for the actions of their partner, they are more apt to step in and handle the situation if the partner gets out-of line. As the stepmother of Kelly, I wish this law had passed prior to 7-5-11, maybe the other 5 officers would have stepped up and not joined in.
