WE ARE ALL LOOKING NOW
Former members of the FPD were responsible for the brutal death of Kelly Thomas
The City of Fullerton hired Michael Gennaco and his office of “independent review” to investigate the incident. Michael Gennaco’s findings are posted here in this previously sealed confidential report.

Last night, a brave member of our community, Mr. Barry Levinson
asked the hundred million dollar questions.
MY PUBLIC COMMENTS CONCERNING THE PREVIOUS LEAKED CONFIDENTIAL REPORT (ENTITLED THE “INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATIVE REPORT INTO THE IN-CUSTODY DEATH OF KELLY THOMAS by the OIR GROUP HEADED BY MICHAEL GENNACO) BEFORE THE CITY OF FULLERTON CITY COUNCIL ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2015 WITH SOME ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS by Barry Levinson
“The previously sealed Fullerton Police Department Internal Investigation concerning the brutal beating death of Kelly Thomas reportedly stated the following:
“Three of the four Fullerton police officers primarily involved in the beating death of mentally ill transient Kelly Thomas violated a series of department policies, including use of force, according to an internal affairs investigation report obtained by Voice of OC.”
The conclusions of this report issued in April 2012 well over a year before the start of the criminal trial of Ramos and Cincinelli, seems to contradict the sworn testimony of both Fullerton Police Department Training Officer, Corporal Rubio and Fullerton Police Department Sergeant Kevin Craig. They both testified that they saw no major violations of the Fullerton Police Department Policy Manual during the brutal beating death of Kelly Thomas and the subsequent police response to his injuries.
Question: Did FPD Police Chief Dan Hughes provide this crucial piece of evidence to the OC DA?
Question: Didn’t the failure to admit this crucial piece of evidence at the trial refuting the testimony of both Craig and Rubio help to achieve not guilty verdicts?
Question: Why hasn’t Dan Hughes suspended or taken other disciplinary action against both Craig and Rubio for allegedly committing perjury in a criminal trial?
Question: Why didn’t Police Chief Dan Hughes take action to open up a police investigation concerning the alleged perjury by two of his officers? Why did he not follow the same course of action for this alleged felony perjury case as his department did with regard to my baseless misdemeanor case that was later dropped by the OC DA for lack of evidence? Is it asking too much of our Police Chief to treat with the same seriousness an alleged felony perjury in a murder trial by two of his officers as he did with my bogus misdemeanor case?
To all of you on the dais, I ask for an independent investigation on the felony perjury allegedly committed by Sergeant Kevin Craig and Training Officer Corporal Stephen Rubio?
I sincerely hope that this council does not ignore what I have presented to you tonight.
We keep hearing in this chamber that the new Fullerton Police Department is doing everything possible to regain the trust of Fullerton residents. Clearly this confidential report shows us that a lot more needs to be done to regain that trust.
That concluded the statement I made during public comments at the September 15, 2015 Fullerton Council meeting.
PS: It is extremely informative to note that it was Council member Jan Flory who while I was in mid- sentence interrupted my 3-minute presentation. She attempted in vain to get our City Attorney to rule that this information that has been out in the public purview for several months could be blocked from being disseminated by a private citizen, yours truly. She also strongly inferred that I was doing something wrong by revealing the conclusions reached by this report penned by expert Michael Gennaco hired by our city to both make recommendations to fix our police department and report on the actions of those 6 officers the night of the Kelly Thomas beating death. Ms. Flory valiantly tried to keep the truth from the public last night. In my opinion this showed where Ms. Flory’s true allegiance lies and it was not with the public.”
Lets see if the residents get some answers. We will keep you posted.

Rigged jury? That’s odd. As the trial was going on everyone was fine with everything going on. Then when the innocent cops were proclaimed innocent by the jury that was approved by the prosecution and Ron Thomas as well, it’s all fixed. Imagine if the jury saw through the BS spouted by Ron and you clowns, then all would be wonderful. Politics and personal opinions aren’t what the justice system is about. It’s about facts and most people like you clowns don’t like facts. You ignore facts. If Kelly didn’t flee and fight, he would be alive today. No one in this country has ever had a problem with the police that didn’t flee and fight. Now that we are part of an entitlement era, then it’s always someone elses fault anytime someone does something stupid. It is what it is but those cops were innocent of murder for sure.
Yes, it’s clear you want to again have your hand picked and bought council people in place on the Fullerton city council. That was tried before. It worked for a short period until the community realized what buffoons the store bought people were and they ran them out of town.
You are both funny. You don’t want the police unions to donate and hope they get their people in office, but you want to donate and buy your people into office. You can’t have it both ways children.
Fullerton is doing great now that Tony B and you buffoons are gone. Chief has the PD under control and running smooth. City council is ignoring the BS during comments about non factual things, and Tony B is off smoking his joints with his buddy Travis. Barry, you need to run off into the sunset too. You can’t buy your way in and no one is listening to you anymore.

RI we have motive, intent, actions, and end result all on camera with audio and video. They walked. Anyone with half a brain and a conscience knows Kelly was murdered.

Reality is speaks the truth. City is running smoothly. Roads getting fixed, city’s finances in good shape. This is all bad news for the few conspiracy theorists whose 15 minutes of fame ran out a long time ago and the only chance they have to try to be relevant is to paint a picture of a city still in disarray.
Joe, still waiting for your response. You said the trial was rigged. What would be the motive and intent for the DA to rig the trial? What would the DA have to gain by rigging the trial? Not that it would be possible, but if I was a DA and I wanted to rig a trial, I think I would want to rig it so the end result was a guilty verdict. Why would a DA rig a trial to insure a not guilty verdict. C’mon Joe. I thought you were a smart man. I’ll ask again: Did you attend any part of the trial? Listen to testimony? Know what elements of law have to be met in order for murder to have occurred? Did you hear jury instructions?
