This is truly barbaric. Anyone who could participate in something like this is a monster.
And a coward, and a should never be allowed anywhere near civilized human beings, let alone be hired to 'protect and serve'.
There is something wrong with the recruitment policies of our police departments. Someone who could engage in this cowardly brutality didn't just suddenly get that way.
Imagine if this photo and this story was from somewhere else, like South America, the outrage would be heard around the world. We have no moral authority anymore. Not until we bring home all of our troops from around the world, stop killing people, and start fixing all that has gone wrong in this country.
RIP Mr. Thomas, this world was not a good place for you.
