It's a start, what about the remaining officers? After reading the details in this report, these so called officers were sub human rabid dogs.

I have followed this closely since I learned of the murder of Kelly Thomas a few weeks ago.

It is a good start. I was wrong. Like Kelly Thomas' father, I expected the worst: a complete white-wash and stonewall from prosecutor. Well, that's not what has happened. Here is video of prosecutor announcing the charges:

I remain convinced the prosecutor would not have taken this course, if it were not for the publicity, and huge pressure. I suspect he's doing only what he feels he absolutely MUST do... but this is progress, and I'm grateful for it.

Officer Manuel Ramos & Cpl. Jay Cicinelli have gotten off easy, so far. They were allowed to surrender before being arrested. They weren't given the jackboot treatment as citizens often are for similar charges. The weren't forced to the ground at gun point. No one forced a knee into their pack while their faces were abraded by pavement, and then wrenched their arms while handcuffing them.

Still, the charges alone are a start.

These are two of the six who beat to death a terrified, slightly-built man:
Jesus said we should treat other as we'd want to be treated... and he didn't qualify that by their party affiliation, race, or even if they're of diff religion.
