This is intended to enrage you. (#3 in an irregular series)

The lawyer for one of the Fullerton policemen charged in the beating of a mentally ill homeless man suggested Tuesday that it was medical professionals –- not police officers -– who are to blame for the death of Kelly Thomas.

Yeah. It was the medics that did this. It was the medics who compressed his chest so he couldn’t breathe. “Oh, the medics didn’t get an airway in fast enough.” Why did he need an airway in the first place? Because your clients beat him so badly he was choking on his own blood, and sat on his chest until he stopped breathing.

Pull the other one, guys: it has bells on it.
