I never post anything like this...but this is very close to where I live and I went to Cal State Fullerton for College and lived out there. I watched the news cast on TV about it and almost broke down in tears from it as the mother and father of the man killed spoke about it....not to mention in the video you hear the man crying for his father, "Dad! Dad! Dad!"....then listening to his father comment about that as well.
I didn't post this for everyone to come in and start calling cops "Stupid pigs" and bashing them all...but this is just not right and I really hope these officers pay for their wrong-doings.
The title of my thread speaks about it all as well as read the links:
Police Beat 'Gentle' Homeless, Mentally Ill Man to Death
Cops Kill Homeless Man for Resisting Arrest | The Stir
A picture of what the man looked like in the hospital (His father took this picture and released it to the media so they could see how brutally he was beaten). An eye witness on the news tonight that was interviewed said he saw the man laying face down and the officers just beating the back of his head with their flashlights...I can definitely believe that after seeing the pic...warning it's graphic.

And lastly the video a man took of it...you can't see what's happening but LISTEN to everyone's commentary and the man crying:
