After seeing this, it's obvious the guy was uncooperative and resisting arrest. It took six cops to hold amd keep him under control. His ongoing claim that he couldn't breathe is phony: if that was true then how was he able to keep filling his lungs with enough air to keep screaming? This guy obviously knew his rights, and was gaming the police to get them to cross the line, which they did. He did not deserve to die though. Wasn't it his father who pulled the plug on him while in the hospital? I bet he could have survived.

Excellent use of sheer speculation. Fact free, and absurd, of course--you could work for Nancy Grace!

7:23, exactly what do you object to? The video? The NavelGazing piece? Try to make some sense, man! Be not an idjit.

The OC DA deserves a best actor award for his dramatics and feigned emotion.  He has sunk to a new low using his power to advance his political ambitions at the expense of two officers who were dealing with a rapidly escalating situation with a person who was known (by his family) to be very violent.  His own mother had a restraining order filed against him.  It is well known that he once physically attacked his grandfather.  His father when contacted by local police would say that he (Kelly) was their problem now.

When Ramos says, "See these fists, They're getting ready to f--- you up," he ALSO says, "iF YOU DON'T F-ING START LISTENING.". Something that the DA likes to omit when miss quoting Ofc. Ramos.
Another thing the DA and now the media so conveniently neglect to include is Thomas' response, "START PUNCHING DUDE." 
Does that sound like someone who is in fear for his life?
Even RonThomas admits to using force with Kelly, 
"Ron once used his jujitsu skills to apprehend his son, wrestling Kelly into his car from a Yorba Linda park using wristlocks. "A lot of things I did with Kelly were very painful. But what are the alternatives?” -Orange Coast Magazine, March 2012
