Most were there to protest the recent not-guilty verdict of two officers charged in the death of Kelly Thomas. There were also questions about why Police Chief Hughes felt it necessary to bring out the riot police and SWAT armored vehicle to shut down the Jan. 18th demonstration downtown which also drew about 400 people, and to demand that the fired officers not be rehired by the city. Chief Hughes assured the crowd that he would be vigorously defending his prior decisions in terminating the employment of officers Ramos, Cicinelli, and Wolfe. He also said that he is cooperating in the FBI investiga- tion of the three officers. He said riot gear became necessary due to the numerous online threats to bring explosives and guns to the protest, burn the police department to the ground, and kill police officers and their families. Police shut down the rally after a group of protesters assault- ed a news crew. More on page 8 An estimated 400 citizens came out on the streets of Fullerton to protest the not-guilty verdict and to send the strong message that such actions by police as took place in the July 2011 beating death of Kelly Thomas will not be tolerated.
