See Shocking Video Homeless Man Kelly Thomas Fatal Beating by Police

Calif. - People in court Monday gasped, screamed and cried as prosecutors showed video of two police officers beating a mentally ill homeless man who later died from his injuries.The video was shown in court during a hearing to determine whether Fullerton police officers Manuel Ramos and Cpl. Jay Patrick Cicinelli should stand trial in the death of the 37-year-old Thomas, reports CBS Los Angeles.
Ramos was responding to a call of a car break-in and found Thomas walking near the scene of the crime. He began questioning the homeless man and called for back-up.
"Put your hands on your (expletive) knees...put your feet out in front of you," Ramos could be seen telling Thomas in the video.At minute 18, a back-up police car arrives at the scene and at least one more officer joins in. This is when the tasering starts, amid police requests to "stop resisting." After more prolonged tasers, Thomas is wailing and multiple officers are piled on top of him.
At minute 20, Thomas cries out to his father, who isn't there: "Dad! Dad! Dad! Help me, help me Dad!"
The video ends with emergency responders removing Thomas from the scene, who is now unconscious.
The officers involved in the altercation surround him, discussing what had just happened.
"We ran out of options so I got the end of my Taser and I probably ... I just start smashing his face to hell," says Cpl. Jay Cicinelli, according to the transcript provided by prosecutors. "He was on something. Cause the three of us couldn't even control him."
The video shown on Monday seems to confirm what many Fullerton residents have been saying for almost a year now: that police used excessive force to subdue Thomas.
