Cop Acquitted In Murder Of Kelly Thomas Just Arrested For Domestic Violence

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Sydney Barakat via TheAntiMedia.org,

Manuel Ramos, 41, the former Fullerton police officer who was ultimately acquitted after being tried for the beating and killing of Kelly Thomas, has been arrested once more—this time for domestic violence.

 

Thomas—an unarmed, mentally-ill homeless man—was brutally beaten to death by Ramos and two fellow officers in the summer of 2011. Two of the officers—Ramos, as well as Jay Cicinelli—were tried and acquitted of the murder. From the beginning, the case received nationwide coverage. A slew of peaceful protests resulted from the several injustices that were committed in this gut-wrenching case of excessive violence and abuse of power.

Now, Ramos has been arrested again. As ABC7 news reported,

“Police respond[ed] to a report of a family disturbance [and] arrested Manuel Ramos on July 16 after he allegedly assaulted a woman in the 3600 block of W. Oak Avenue.”

 Ramos was then booked on the charge of misdemeanor domestic violence, but soon after posted bail and was released. According to the report, the case still remains under investigation.

This goes to show that when violent criminals are granted impunity, when they are let off the hook without even a slap on the wrist, they will continue their horrendous cycle of abuse of power and violence. When these murderers are exonerated without consequence, they are assisted in committing further assaults—in this case, domestic violence.

Manuel-Ramos-mugshots

Mugshots of former officer Manuel Ramos.

Does Ramos lack so much compassion that he must beat the defenseless? First a mentally-ill man who was small in stature, then a woman.

What is more ridiculous is that journalists and live-streamers who covered the Kelly Thomas case are being dragged through a long and tedious court ordeal. They are facing charges, trials, and time in prison for simply filming and documenting the protests that occurred as result of the officers’ acquittals. Our own Patti Beers—also known as “P.M.” on her social media accounts—is facing such absurd charges for filming the acquittal protests. Patti’s trial has been covered by the Anti-Media, The Fifth Column, OC Weekly, AnonHQ, and more.

This case of police brutality and major injustices committed by law enforcement force us to ask:

when will this horrendous cycle of violence end? When will the law be lawful? When will the justice system deliver justice?

The issues extend far beyond Manuel Ramos, but if we let this cowardly badged thug go without consequence again, we are allowing for more of his kind to continue coming out of the woodworks. Additionally, if we allow journalists— real journalists like Patti Beers—to be tried for performing her civic duty—well, that’s just pouring salt in an already gaping wound.

The Thomas beating video made me sick , and I have a strong stomach, unbelievable how Ramos walked away from that.
For every one of those abuse videos there are another 100 cases where no video exists.

Looks like one of them White Hispanics to me.

Seriously, though, cops are going more and more over the line. The only reason something might happen to him this time is that he's an ex-cop and it was against a woman. If he was still a cop, he could beat the snot out of a woman and be set free by his brother officers.

The screening may have gone away when they started rejecting applicants with too high an IQ. Most cops know who is unstable on their force from steroid abuse. They hear all about it at the police gym where the steroids can be obtained discreetly.

OT: Stay away from eating most almonds, which are pasteurized with carcinogenic PPO.  Thanks to a 2007 FDA regulation.  Almonds that have been pastuerized are heated to the point where their life force is almost entirely dissipated. Recent scientific studies show that heating almonds creates potentially harmful levels of acrylamide, a threatening byproduct of the amino acid asparagine. Acrylamide is a chemical known to cause cancer, or reproductive toxicity (such as birth defects and other reproductive harm).

The second primary almond pasteurization method is called propylene oxide fumigation(PPO).

PPO is the pasteurization method reserved for non-organic almonds. PPO is a chemical so toxic, that it was banned by both the American Motorcycle, and the National Hot Rod Associations, where it had been used as a fuel, before they recognized how dangerous it actually was. PPO is a verified carcinogen that is highly flammable, with noxious fumes that are incredibly hazardous to a human being's personal health. The EPA has declared PPO a carcinogenic chemical that is responsible for neurological, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and immune system dysfunctions, as well as liver disease.

In addition to the American Motorcycle and National Hot Rod Associations banning PPO, countries such as Mexico, Canada and the entire European Union have banned it, due to its known carcinogenic risks to human beings.

So, you think treating almonds with PPO before they are eaten is OK?

If we can find someone who eats almonds with mercury and is alive is it then OK to also.

Treating something that is to be eaten with a substance that is know to have cancer causing potential is not a good thing.  Since other countries have baned it I think the risk is sufficiently hight to avoid.

Even if he is convicted for this crime, he'll still get special treatment. Either he'll get time served, probation, community service, or some other BS. If he gets time it will be minimum security with safety observation. Of course the pension is just fine. The blue line is strong.

Of course Ramos got off for killing Kelly Thomas, Thomas was WHITE and Ramos was the home boy. Juries are going to continue letting off their peeps when the victim is White.

There was a Jew from Australia who was studying Torah in NYC. He was stabbed to death by a black. The perp was found with the murder weapon in his back pocket. The blade had the BLOOD of the deceased on it. The black jury let him WALK.

That is how it goes in the USSA. Sadly Mr YANKEL ROSENBAUM, who was the slain person in Brooklyn was another victim of his own Tribe's machinations to eliminate Whites. I suppose in terms of the GREAT PLAN a few casualties along the way are worth it.

The ones in charge, the ones who give puppet Obama his marching orders our real rulers smile when they hear about such cases as Officer Ramos walking.

THe jury was made up of 8 women and 4 men.  10 of them had a BA, 2 were lawyers, one of which was the foreman.  Based on the the county the trial took place in, a majority of them would have been WHITE hommies.  BTW, there were 3 trails in the Yankel Rosenbaum case, its not like it was an easy case to adjudicate.

From power and tyranny's point of view, what contributed to the lack of justice in Mr. Rosenbaum's case was that he was studying the Torah and not the Talmud.

Kelly Thomas' mistake was was breathing near gun and badge thugs.

The Kelly Thomas beating and subsequent acquittal despite the video evidence in my opinion, was a direct result of allowing police brutality on blacks and Latino's to become the norm. How a jury never convicted in the Kelly Thomas case defied all logic, but alas in the eyes of the average Joe, the police can do no wrong and thus legalized thuggery is reinforced amongst the rank and file. For wife beating pussies like Ramos, the usual police defence in these cases, is to blame the stress of the job. Hopefully he'll be found guilty and sacked from the police-force. A thug cop dreads nothing worse than having to become a civilian again. I hope this becomes his fate.
