I Have Questions

First, let me say I support the filing of charges against the officers.

However, when will the dozens of journalists who interview Ron Thomas on a regular basis clarify the following issues:

1. It's been widely reported that Ron Thomas was a OCSD Deputy for six years, then retired. When will someone actually nail him down on his employment? How long did he work there? What was his rank? Did he retire, not make probation, get fired, etc.? If the employment separation was not of his own choosing, then what happened? Many commenters who seem to have knowledge said he failed to pass probation and his employment was brief.

2. Ron claims he trains police officers in tactics. Proof? When, where, what, how long, etc.?

3. Ron has said in the past that he will donate ALL proceeds from a civil suit to forming a foundation committed to providing services to mentally ill homeless, yet doesn't seem to say this lately. Has his intention regarding a civil suit settlement changed?

4. Ron seems to be absent in most photographs of Kelly. Is Ron a blood relative? Just how much time - months, years, etc. - did Ron actually live with Kelly?

5. Ron says he is a contractor - yet there is only one "Ronald Thomas" listed as on Orange County licensed contactor at the Contactor's State License Board, and he is a resident of Huntington Beach, not Cypress, which is where Thomas' lives. Just what is his history?

I say this because Ron seems to be something other than what he has claimed in interviews in the past. I question the nature of his relationship with Kelly (RIP), his employment, his motives, and pretty much everything about him. When will some of these journalists clarify these issues?

Ron, Ron, Ron. Seems like you have a crush on Ron. Why not come out to one of the protests on Saturday & ask him yourself? Its not like Ron or anyone else in Kelly's Army is hiding. "Same Bat-time, Same Bat-channel." I guess that could be said about all the police apologists as well. Questioning Ron or talking trash on the family is all you have left. Sad, but it won't change the fact that FPD is going down. Kelly's Army will win the war. Its far from over.

Also, what does Ron Thomas have to do with Fullerton PD murdering Kelly Thomas?

And you seem to be nothing but a cop prick troll, go fuck yerself!

Who cares about Ron's past employment. It has nothing to do with officers beating his son to death. This is not about Ron. Its about FPD and it's rogue officers. How about interviewers contact the parents of the cops that murdered Kelly? Then you'll see how narcissism and "good ole boy" hiring leads to an above the law, corrupt, police department. Happens everywhere.

thanks to Tony Bushala's blogsite Friends for Fullerton Future, Kelly Thomas beating death by Fullerton police officers was not hid by Fullerton's civic leaders and their entourage

It's good when a community will come together. But, ask yourself. If it was a slain police officer who had been wrongly killed, would you protest in honor of the officer, or are you ONLY protesting because it was police violence?

If you can answer fairly that you would protest any injustice, then I would think you are fair as opposed to against law enforcement using this as an opportunity to bash the fine men in blue.

I say this as a retired US Military enlisted man and not a police officer.

Cops sign on to do this job why should anyone worship them as heros? If it had been a slain cop I'm sure the mainstream media would have dragged out the usual hero bs. So don't try and be clever. Lately the fine men in blue seem to be acting above the law all over America. People like you rarely see the real situation & love to moan about the tough job cops get paid to do. Of course people are protesting police violence you moron! Cops aren't paid to be violent towards innocent citizens even if the have no address. The fact that you add that you were in the military makes me wonder if you too feel you should be treated as a hero.
