What's up with the cops these days?

Police not guilty in Kelly Thomas death; DA won't try 3rd officer - latimes.com

I guess the public disagrees with you , no surprise .

The jury took less than a full day of deliberation to reach the not-guilty verdicts.

Your like a pavlovian troll. Did you watch the video. Just the first 2 minutes of it? At 2:21 one of the cops takes a swipe at the guy's kneecap with his baton before the guy has made one aggressive act. Later the guy is screaming for help and saying he can't breathe. Yeah the jury found them innocent, but that's just as likely due to parlor tricks and the police have better defense attorneys than a junior state DA tasked with standing up for a homeless guy, and probably less then stellar citizen.

if you have the stomach, here is the video of the incident:

I did read that the jury found them not guilty, and as I said, a police department union defense team vs a state prosecutor isn't exactly an equal match.

As for doing their job, I have said before, I was an MP for 5 years, and dealt with drunk soldiers with baton in hand, and no tasers were around at that time. A wired homeless man against 6 police officer, one of whom told him that his fist was getting ready to F him up, is over the line.

Honest question - Did you watch the first part of the video or is your whole premise based on the jury finding them not guilty?
