Comment on Police officers found not guilty in (video taped) death of Kelly Thomasparent

Comments

"See these fists? They're getting ready to fuck you up."

-Officer Manuel Ramos, before sadistically beating unarmed, homeless, schizophrenic man Kelly Thomas into a coma that would eventually lead to his death, all while Thomas apologized and begged for mercy

You can judge the actions of a human being to be or not to be "right" or "wrong", but it's not appropriate to judge the person themselves

Sure the action was wrong. What he did was wrong. But to claim that his "soul" (for lack of a better term) is worth less than yours is not a judgment you should be making.
