On the 2011 Police Killing of Homeless Man, Kelly Thomas

The cops claimed that he was resisting arrest and that he was just fine when the medics took him away (they referred to what you're witnessing in that right-hand picture as, "superficial bruising") but witnesses claimed that Thomas was sitting on the ground non-aggressive, yelling out, "I'm trying", when the police tried to cuff him, and as far as him being "fine", you be the judge. And while, yes, three of the cops were charged with either murder or manslaughter, they all were acquitted. So much for Kelly's white privilege, huh (one of the cops who beat the daylights out of him was Mexican - narrative that!)?
