Asphyxiation caused by mechanical compression of the thorax – that was the cause of death identified by the Orange County coroner’s office of Kelly Thomas, a 37-year-old, homeless and diagnosed with schizophrenia. But the true cause of death were the actions of Jay Cicinelli, Kenton Hampton, Manny Ramos, Joe Wolfe, James Blatney, and a sixth person – all employed at the Fullerton police outfit.

In September 21st, 2011 charges were levied against Ramos and Cicinelli. Ramos became the first police employee in Orange County to ever be charged with murder when on the job. In early December, 2013, trial finally started for the pair. (Joseph Wolfe, who was also charged, is to have his own trial. No one else involved was ever charged.) On January 13th, 2014 Ramos and Cicinelli were said to be “not guilty.” Such is the accountability afforded by the criminals justice system, which only underscores even more, the need for us to liberate ourselves from those coercive monopolies that incentivize and rationalize such incidents.
