Kelly Thomas, a 37 year-old California man suffering with mental illness, received the "Medina Treatment" from Fullerton, CA police .... he was beaten to death.
Particulars of this crime, committed by police against a harmless, mentally ill individual who suffered from schizophrenia, can be found here:

After reading some of the commentary, cited above, the blogger has noted the similarity to the corruption in Medina County politics.
However, and more compelling, the murder of Kelly Thomas by police calls to mind two events right here in Medina County.
The first is the killing of three young men by a Medina County Sheriff's Deputy who recklessly slammed into a disabled auto, killing three teens. That Deputy was not charged with manslaughter, in spite of the fact that he took the lives of three innocent teens. An account of that event can be found here at the blog at http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2010/12/equal-protection-under-law-not-in.html
The second event is the tragic death of Susan Ruma, a local teacher who, while suffering mental illness, attempted suicide by inhaling exhaust fumes of her auto, running in the attached garage of her home.
Rather than attempting to seek mental health treatment for Ms. Ruma, DINO HOLMAN indicted and pressured Ms. Ruma to plead guilty to felony crimes.
HOLMAN, in a response fitting for Fullerton, CA police, threw Ms. Ruma in the Medina County Jail for 129 days and thereafter pressured her to plead guilty to Felonious Assault.
Why the Felonious Assault charge? Well, according to HOLMAN, Ms. Ruma's children were in the family home at the time of her attempted suicide and, exercising the full capacity of both of his brain cells, decided that Ms. Ruma intended to kill her own children.
Following her treatment at the hands of HOLMAN and Medina Judge KIMBLER, not one of the brightest bulbs that ever lit the halls of the Medina County Courthouse/Mosque & Railroad Station,
Ms. Ruma eventually succeeded at committing suicide.
Those particulars can be found in another post at this blog, captioned, "A HOLMANIZED CITIZEN DRIVEN TO SUICIDE," found at http://medinacorruption.blogspot.com/2010/12/holmanized-citizen-driven-to-suicide.html
MUCH MORE TO COME ....
