Police lawyers claim Kelly Thomas died of causes other than the injuries inflicted by officers Ramos, Cicinelli and 4 others not charged with crimes. Now, the Fullerton police, in conjuction with Homeland Security are using this as an excuse for a nationwide witch hunt for activists against police violence. So says the story here, you don't have to look to hard for the story between the lines. Even though they admit there are "no specific threats", they have an excuse and a billion dollar fusion center with all the latest toys that they already are known to abuse. "Police said they began monitoring social media sites after hearing that death threats may have been lodged against the two former patrol officers, who were hurried from the courtroom Monday after the verdicts were read.
“We’re taking necessary precautions that I can’t go into,” said Sgt. Jeff Stuart, spokesman for the Fullerton Police Department. “We’re prepared for any eventuality that may come.”
Stuart said he wasn’t aware of any specific threat made against police officers in the college town." http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-kelly-thomas-verdicts-threats-20140114,0,4664587.story
