The father of a man who died after a violent confrontation with Fullerton police said Saturday that he has been offered $900,000 to settle any civil claims against the city.

Victims dad was actually an ex-cop (might explain why son was calling out for him).

He declined the settlement.
 
Many PD's purposely take the less intelligent to be cops.

They'll never admit this openly but it's the main reason why so many cops do stupid %+!@. They'r e prone to it in the first place.
 
Yeah I saw this on the news last night

dude was yelling incendiaries and purported to have broken in to a string of cars on the street acting violent and #!@#. not in any way absolving the police of any guilt, but if you're homeless acting reckless #!@# is going to happen and in the end it's your own damn fault

If someone broke into your car unarmed and you murdered him while he was in the act, you'd get reckless homicide at the very least.

the victim is apparently also a schizophrenic so that added to his agitated aggression.
I live in Fullerton, a little north of there... the bus/train depot is a pretty safe spot so I was really surprised to hear about it.

wow, I used to live in fullerton. That's terrible, no need to beat a man that badly ever as a cop.
 
I clicked the spoiler, but I won't watch the video. Don't need to see dude on his way out...

By the look of the victim's face, the cop(s) was trying to kill him. The man who did it needs to be sentenced, but we all know that probably won't happen. No amount of money is going to bring that man's son back either.
