Isn’t Ron Thomas a former sheriff’s deputy?
This one has the “after” picture.
And there are video tapes that ALLEGEDLY show the officers beating this guy once he was long past the point of resisting.
Tell me — why did this guy end up like this?

Why did the cops confiscate the video tapes?
This one stinks to high heaven.
I have read in a few places, and heard, that Ron Thomas once worked as an Orange County Sheriff’s Deputy. That is all I “know.” I have not been able to find any details, even though I have searched, such as when he was a sheriff, for how many years, how and why did he separate from the department.
Since he worked in law enforcement in Orange County, he was aware of and interacted with other LE agencies as well as politicians. I and others wonder if there is a “history” vis a vis Mr. Thomas and other Orange County LE agencies prior to the July 5 incident of his son Kelly’s arrest.
We do know, from various sources, that there was a past incident where Kelly (the son) tried to choke his mother. She subsequently got a restraining order against him.
It would be a bit ironic to find that the police called in that incident were Fullerton city police.
