Six armed soldiers beating an unarmed civilian to death would be all over the press, screaming for murder charges against the soldiers - look at the outrage over the puppy-tossing incident.
Six armed police officers beating an unarmed civilian to death, and this is the first I've heard of it - so much for "to serve and protect," huh, Fullerton PD?
Capital Murder. You don't beat a guy that badly, and taze him six times, and not pay the price - that is cruel and unusual punishment, torture even, in the application of excessive use of force.
