Kelly Thomas was a homeless schizophrenic man in Fullerton CA on July 5th 2011 he came in contact with 6 of the Fullerton Police Department officers who allegedly got a call about car burglaries in the area. They sat him on the curb and started questioning and searching him, matters quickly escalated when officer Manuel Ramos decided to threaten Kelly. Officer Ramos put latex gloves on and put his fists up in Thomas' face, he then said "you see these fists? They're getting ready to fuck you up" Kelly ran in fear for his life, he was chased down by Ramos, punched repeatedly in the ribs, then officer Kenton Hampton jumped in to aid Ramos, they both subdued him and continued the beating. Officer Jay Cicinelli arrived on the scene a few minutes later, he kneed Kelly in the face multiple times, tased him repeatedly and smashed his face in with the butt of the taser. Eventually there were 6 cops on top of Kelly as he laid helpless in a pool of his own blood while witnesses stand o! n the sides watching helplessly. Kelly was brain dead by the time he got to the hospital and his lungs were filled with blood as well as his chest collapsing from the weight of the officers and the blows.
