Orange County prosecutors charged two veteran Fullerton police officers in the death of a mentally ill homeless man, accusing them of a callous cascade of violence against Kelly Thomas as he begged for his life.

He stressed that Thomas did not provoke the attack and that all of his movements were purely defensive.

9/22 UPDATE: Two Fullerton police officers charged in homeless man’s death
On July 5, 2011, closed circuit TV caught six Fullerton cops brutally murdering a homeless, mentally ill man. Kelly Thomas, age 37, died after being taken off life-support five days later.
A whistleblower who viewed the unreleased city-owned video of the event says an officer crushed Thomas’ windpipe by “drop-kneeing” him “more than once.”

Some dangerous firepower has been taken off the streets, but those who were accused of having it in their possession are still walking free.
Five men who were allegedly caught with a cache of weapons and were questioned by investigators are not in jail.
“We’re talking about AK-47s, AR-15s, basically the type of assault rifles you can purchase legally,” said Cpl. Clint Garza of the Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities also siezed about 20,000 rounds of ammunition.
Indonesian police will sue a news magazine over a story on corruption [purportedly] because the cover depicted an officer with piggy banks, and pigs are dirty in Islam. But the June 28 edition of Tempo explored evidence of embezzlement among senior officers, some of whom were allegedly found to have millions of dollars in bank accounts. Unidentified buyers bought hundreds of thousands of copies of this week’s edition directly from distributors before dawn on Monday. See below for full story on police corruption by Tempo Magazine that prompted seizure.
