Why they beat him?  I mean, for goodness sake, he's white!

I bet the interpretation of phrases and words the police carry is quite interesting. 'To protect and serve' becomes 'To beat and kill'. For shame!

It was one cop - a one-eyed monster.

He will be charged with and convicted of murder.

No shit. I know I am clean even if searched and I get nervous as hell. Even if you only have one nut job out of 50 cops that is too many.

Necessary evil, the vast majority want nothing more than to do good for their society; but in each and every group there lurks that 10%.

Let me update:

* Victim was a local 37yr old homeless crazy guy (diagnosed schizophrenic)

* Victim was breaking into cars at the OCTA Transportation center in Fullerton, CA

* When confronted the victim (alledgedly) assaulted the officers then ran away

* All of this was caught on multiple video cameras (not just phones). 

* This occurred at a major metro bus station which is heavily monitored (for obvious reasons). 

* One of the dispatchers zoomed in on the situation from almost the very beginning - we have crystal clear footage of every moment of the crime. 

* The Orange County DA has opened an investigation and has requested the FBI to join in (which they have).

*  The police chief has a long record and is highly respected in the region, but one rogue cop has just destroyed his entire careers work.

 

Now comes the shitty part:

* The prime suspect worked for LAPD back in 1999, he had been on the job for 3 weeks in South Central when he was gunned down.  Took 6 rounds, one took his eye (we shall call him one-eye).  He was retired from the LAPD and subsequently hired by Fullerton.

* One-eye is an extremely large and muscular man.

* One-eye beat the victim with the Butt of his taser gun after the victim was unable to resist and repreatedly tased him.

* Consensus rumor has it that the other officers were afraid of one-eye.

* The father of the victim is a retired OC Deputy and has recognized this as an opportunity to get rich on the backs of the tax payers

     * The city reached out immediately to offer a settlement on their piece of liability, the father declined prefering to punish the tax payers for this crime. (must be republican)

* Fullerton Police Department (FPD) apparently has a few skeletons in the closet, nothing serious but not angels either (well hell, it is Fullerton).

* Six officers responded, but 90% of the incident took place before the 2 backup units arrived.

*  FPD reports that two officers sustained broken bones during the attempt to capture and subdue. (maybe broken knuckles?)

*  One officer was attempting to handcuff the victim but (involuntarily) jumped away when suddenly soaked in squirting blood from one-eyes attack.

 

The facts keep rolling in, but from the local media its beginning to sound like old one-eye is going down for murder.  The jury will see the videos, I doubt we ever will (or should) considering the desire to not glamorize the sad end of a sorry life.

I'll post more as we hear more.
