a few months ago we talked about at the beating uh... a homeless man by the name
of kelley thomas hyde he was literally beaten to death by fullerton police
uh... and they had been called to the sea
because someone was vandalizing vehicles and police wanted to basically ad search
and to see whether or not he was the person
will was accused of doing this now in the process uh... of trying to cut it
down the schizophrenic homeless man
uh... i guess was not complying with that in and it basically let's invent
teasing hand beating him with their tasters
and of actually he was in a coma
he was rushed to the hospital and he died
so the two police officers are that are accused of beating him to death i'll
want is by the name of manuel dramas and the other one is corporal
jason's deli
uh... are being prosecuted
and sister being prosecuted tape of the incident has just been released that's
why this story is being talked about today
you guys already know helps
hideous
this us situation was based on i witness testimony however we have the video for
you guys now uwi cut it down significantly however it is graphic
so take a look at the video and then we'll discuss a little with brett
useful
alone
after picked it
all ok here
fist
trust
ho
you know
offshoot
oh
five years
weekend brokering alright
rogue rams are the grading
now uh... as i mentioned he was rushed to the hospital he had to do he died
five days later after his family had to take him off life support
according to the hospital reports he had uh... bones broken into space
anchi choked on his own blood uh... and the compression of the thaw racks made
it impossible for him to brave depriving him
or his brain of oxygen
i don't know how to respond to that hearing on that stimulus and watching
the video
the devil even to some kind of like
very visceral response right bob
i will say it is almost as though those guys who were beating him enemy and
hazing he would just kind of wondering how long they could do it
and they'll want a chance to try it
i feel also that barring orders that you have to sit on his stomach
when you're being charted like mega joules of energy
that that we have seen it in the hangover i hate to say that that's where
they're like experience with it but
i will say that at stake
it's gonna paralyze you not gonna give you a lot of voluntary motion where you
can then
voluntary turnover on your back writers summit absolutely i definitely got the
sense that they were drunk on their own power they were obviously getting a cake
out of using excessive force in the situation
kelley thomas was on the ground he was not resisting arrest at all and by the
way we can show you the entire video the entire videos like thirty minutes long
he's not doing anything he's just laying there begging them to stop please stop
by camporee and they continue to do it so what do we do now
now that that's out there now that we see the video what what is what is the
next action destroy stay out raged
derived again what is whatever reason for that you do see outrage so there are
people who are questioning whether or not they deals like this should be
released in the first place right
is it because we are blair is state we want to just watch what happened to him
i wasn't is there something to be learned from this and i think that it's
really important to look at that tape and learn something from it
because if you look at the history of the forty and about this apartment
you'll find out and i'm quoting an article from ulc weekly
that they have every right to expect that they would get away with this
because until now and not a single cop in orange county history has ever been
prosecuted for killing someone
in the line of duty
so that's a real issue here right these cops work using excessive force and you
can tell i do you know that they need
did not
imagine that they would be prosecuted for using that excessive force
so that's why deals like that are important
to bring it to light so these police departments that art basically looking
the other way would excessive force is used get criticized
de or have people hold them accountable that's why it's important to talk about
these stories at least feel means terrible
when i tell you how you do a lot of
well add building a city biofilms school we always use the like
look at videos where people incurred pain we have to ask ourselves before
watching it we're gaining someone die in this
and it is always makes you feel terrible you've got to ask yourself as a of the
lure of that video but what are you going to do with it cuz you know going
in someone dies
you know it's gonna be painful to watch you know how long is this an easy star
watching it tell you how long it's been so that the bonuses really on course
that please furman selz on camera but also freeze individual because that's
just that we use cases thing about like that
proliferation of music
agonizingly audi like two hours a day and stuff i just to be able to fill the
giant mall of new
was it takes the like this and i'm glad that that there's some kind of extra
perspective to go
the reason we have to put everyone through this is to realize just
the the implication of i've never having tried anyone know that's not to say that
you'd have to assume that every police department has someone who should get
prosecuted no i'm not that i'm not saying that in any way shape or form
however when
you have an entire police department that has never been not a single police
officer
has ever been prosecuted for
for these five things the acid in the south so there are but they're full had
different uh... dicey situations where uh...
people were killed by police in the line of duty right
and in every single situation
the police officials
might've been questioned but they were never prosecuted
so that's a real issue here and i think that's why the deals like this when they
surface they should be talked about
the people who are
accused of using excessive force should be held accountable
and in this case i'm glad that there could possibly be i'd justice for kelley
thomas and his family now um... manuel dramas was charged with one count
of second-degree murder and one count of involuntary manslaughter
and uh... j simpson alley is charged with one count of involuntary
manslaughter and excessive force
so i will see what happens with the outcome of that case but that video is
very important evidence in the case yes so it has to be i mean
as a prosecutor and cheer
you just look at it and i thoroughly and that much to do which then if they do
get off
distressing is somehow
that it be possible you watch it so that's they'll be held back i'd hard
time believing that they'll be laid-off
however sometimes an extremely naive
