A shocking video has been released allegedly showing police officers tasering and beating a homeless man to death who they claim was resisting arrest.
Though the video is not clear, eye witnesses say the homeless man - Kelly Thomas, 37 - was unable to put up any resistance and was lying on the ground on his front when the attack took place on July 5.

His screams and cries for his father can be heard amid the tasering noises.

Dead: Mentally ill homeless man Kelly Thomas, 37, was beaten and tasered to death by police for allegedly 'resisting arrest'


Shocking: This picture shows the extent of the injuries Thomas received after being beaten up by six police officers

The video was shot by a student in Fullerton, California. Kelly Thomas was beaten so badly he died in hospital several days later.

According to Gawker, Thomas - who suffered from schizophrenia - caught the attention of the police after someone reported that a burglar was breaking into cars parked near a Fullerton bus station.

When officers approached Thomas in the depot parking lot and tried to arrest him, he resisted.

After that reports diverge.

Police will not issue a statement saying the issue is under investigation but they did say that six officers were involved and two 'suffered broken bones in the fight'.

However, they recently retracted that statement saying that it was only 'soft tissue damage'.

Father: Ron Thomas has been passing out flyers seeking answers near the scene where the run-in with police left his son brain-damaged

Eye witnesses at the scene claim the six officers tasered him five times and beat him beyond recognition, which the disturbing photo of him in hospital shows.

Mark Turgeon, who was there, said: 'They kept beating him and tasering him. I could hear zapping, and he wasn't even moving.

'He had one arm in front of him like this, he wasn't resisting. And they kept telling him, "He's resisting, quit resisting", and he wasn't resisting.'

Many members of the Fullerton community described Thomas as a passive, peaceful person.

'The only thing we have left of our son is the blood in the gutter, that's all we have left'

On the website Fullerton Stories, several people have shared their experiences interacting with Thomas, describing him as 'very quiet and polite', 'gentle and childlike', 'sweet', and 'never a threat'.

Thomas has a previous conviction for assault with a deadly weapon 16 years ago, according to Gawker, which has been attributed to the onset of his illness.

Since his death, his family and members of the community have held protests outside the police department headquarters, looking for answers.
Two officers were suspended shortly after the attack but police will not confirm if it was related to the 37-year-old's death.

Speaking about his son's death, Thomas's dad, Ron Thomas, a former sheriff's deputy, said: 'His death was gang-involved, the way I see it. A gang of rogue officers who brutally beat my son to death.'
He said he now feels ashamed for having ever been a law enforcement officer.
He has been in the area his son was attacked handing out flyers and asking people for help.
He said: 'The only thing we have left of our son is the blood in the gutter, that's all we have left.'

Local city council member Bruce Whitaker has called for a 'clear, factual and complete explanation of events which led to the death of Kelly J. Thomas.'
He also wants the D.A. to release a police video that apparently shows the actual beating taking place.
Fullerton police Sgt Andrew Goodrich said that Thomas began to fight officers as they tried to search him.
He said: 'We don't know why he was so combative and resistant to the officers, but it took upwards of five to six officers to subdue him.
'Sometimes when we take people into custody who don't want to go into custody, we have to use force. It is never the preferred way of doing things.'

He said police are conducting an internal investigation into the officers' actions and the District Attorney's Office is conducting a criminal investigation.
The DA's office said they cannot comment on details of cases until they are completed.

Ever since the mental hospitals were emptied and these people were left to fend for themselves, this has been our big hidden secret. They visit ERs where they are rarely helped, people take advantage of them and steal their money for disability checks, etc. and they live in terror.

I came across one woman who could not afford her meds because she paid people in her apartment building to go to the store for food and other needs. They overcharged her of course. In nursing school, one person did a film on the homeless and how they lived. One guy lived in a dog house (no kidding, they got it on film with some shampoo and other things) and his "landlady" allowed him in the house to take a shower every couple of days. She took his money for allowing him the dog house. These people truly need help, they are paranoid and are afraid of the very people who can help them.

They may not have been "free" in state hospitals, but at least they were safe and were medicated to help their anxiety over voices in their heads.

OMG! The viciousness of the beating is clearly evident in the hospital photo.

Those resposnsible need to be imprisioned for a long stretch. If you cannot control your rage, then you should not be in law-enforcement. I understand sometimes, it is indeed necessary to use force to subdue a violent person, but this??? No way, not ever! There are ways to restrain them without going so far.
