Kelly Thomas, a 37-year-old homeless man (whom his Dr’s say was mentally slow, and had the mind of an 11 year old), was beaten to death in Fullerton, California by police officers who felt they were above the law. They are now on trial. Kelly was tasered, beaten with batons, punched and kneed repeatedly, and was even hit in the face with the end of a Taser. After the beating, you can hear Kelly in the video slowly dying as his desperate screams for his father trail off into groans of ‘Daddy’ and then stop altogether as he loses consciousness. It’s important to note that the paramedics treated the officers before tending to Kelly, as he laid in a pool of his own blood. Video: http://youtu.be/wYQ5nqPQ_gE Full Video: http://youtu.be/e6yaeD-E_MY In the video you see Ramos approach Kelly, “It seems like every day, we have to talk to you about something. Do you enjoy it?” Within minutes, Ramos snaps on latex gloves, holding his fists in front of Kelly’s face, taunting him, “See my fists? They are getting ready to fuck you up!” Kelly stands up and pulls away while Ramos then tackles him, punching and kneeing him in the ribs as he pins him down for the other officers like a blood-thirsty hyena. Manuel Ramos, who pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, Jay Cicinelli, who pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter and use of excessive force (Both are free on bail), and Joseph Wolfe, who will be tried separately on charges of involuntary manslaughter and excessive force are the three officers being tried. Three other officers, Officer Kenton Hampton, Sergeant Kevin Craig and Corporal James Blatney, were not charged.

There’s a petition that will have the officers that were involved in Kelly Thomas’ death be filed federal charges. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/file-federal-charges-against-officers-who-beat-homeless-and-mentally-challenged-kelly-thomas-death/DcVvTKcg
ok but legitimately i think the reason why kids aren’t taking internet safety seriously is because the people who are telling us not to put our personal information out seem so out of touch. no one acknowledges the possibility of meeting very real teenaged friends online, they always say that everyone you meet is a 40 year old white man in disguise. because they aren’t acknowledging things we know are true, it becomes a lot easier to dismiss the rest of what they’re saying as well. internet safety lessons absolutely must keep up with the times and acknowledge the internet’s capacity for good if you want kids to take to heart warnings about its capacity for bad.

Hi all, it’s werelivingarts. I just stumbled across this method called ‘eat the frog’, which means you get the most difficult or important task out of your way first. I actually have been using this method for a long time, hope this post gives you a new way of managing your time and productivity! 😜 ❤️
“If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.” – Mark Twain
