Police State America ~ California Cops on trial for beating homeless man to death

The trial for two Orange County, Calif. police officers involved in the death of homeless man Kelly Thomas began Monday. Former Fullerton Officer Manuel Ramos has been charged with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, while former Corporal Jay Cicinelli has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and excessive force. A third officer, Joseph Wolfe, will face trial in late January. Surveillance video shows the officers beating Thomas with their fists and the butts of their guns, and tasing him at least four times. Meghan Lopez shows the disturbing footage and discusses the trial with RT correspondent Ramon Galindo, who has kept a close eye on the case.
