On January 14,
2014, Manuel Ramos and Jay Cicinelli, two former police officers in
Fullerton, California, were acquitted of manslaughter and
second-degree murder charges in the death of Kelly Thomas, a
37-year-old schizophrenic drifter. The two cops brutally beat
Thomas at a municipal bus station on July 5, 2011. He died in the
hospital five days later, after falling into a coma. Paul Detrick
highlights that the only reason the trial ever happened was due to
a fairly recent innovation: cellphone cameras.
