"I'm looking over closing arguments am seeing one of the police trainers saying that the police used the usual techniques.”
-Beating a guy in the face so hard with the butt of a taser so hard, they broke his sinus cavities and cheekbones is a “usual technique”?
The judge told the jury to disregard that cop trainer's testimony, by the
way.

“Also, in closing arguments, it is shown that Thomas never stops fighting and resisting arrest.”
Are you aware that the blanket charge thrown at almost EVERYONE, in an arrest situation is “RESISTING ARREST”? Its usually a bogus throwaway charge, to get a person for *something*. If you so much as flinch in surprise, and pull away from an officer when they grab your arms, its “ resisting arrest.”
Try to not fight back when someone is smashing your face in. Natural survival instincts kick in, and you'll be flailing about to save your life too.

Why did Kelly Thomas’s own mother testify she took out a restraining order against him wen he tried to keep her from breathing.

Why did his grandfather testify that Kelly took a poker to him?

are you one of those people who think he was this guy in a cute little cowboy hat?
