Publicity about the beating death of Kelly Thomas
is afecting the morale of Fullerton police officers . What a shame. :rolleyes:
...Fullerton police Sgt. Andrew Goodrich said the department has received hundreds of phone calls and e-mails from across California and hundreds turned out to protest Saturday morning at the Fullerton police station.
"It's not pleasant to see people in front of the police station calling the officers 'murderers,'" Goodrich said.
"We understand the community is outraged and concerned and what we've said all along is the incident happened, but the chief called for an outside agency to do a transparent investigation of what happened that night," Goodrich said....
And an anonymous caller to KFI-AM's
John and Ken Show claims there is
another video of the beating that has been confiscated by the police and not yet released. The same caller said a one-eyed officer (identified as Jay Cicinelli) has a reputation for heavy-handed tactics, and actually bragged about the Thomas beating.
Onward and upward,
airforce
