"They Killed Him." The Aftermath of a Fullerton Police Beating

"Why aren't the main stream media reporting this image with viewer caution advisory?"

I thought the same thing PeaceFrog. Thanks for the link also !

This has nothing to do with Obama, and everything to do with the Fullerton Police that is akin to LAPD. It is a systemic problem. Homeless people have no proper treatment because wealthy Americans don't want to assume responsibility for all of society's needs.

I give to you a recommend for the opportunity to refute your statement.

I suggest before having your little snicker you acquaint yourself with the law and the policy enacted to produce such law. Being that you're a progressive liberal social victim I'll get you started. The big word underlying the liberal victim policy is deinstitutionalisation. The idealism -mentally ill people would live fuller and happier lives with in the general public doing for themselves rather than being cared for in institutions staffed by knowledgeable people. The policy -The Community Mental health Act passed by Congress 1963.

The reality -the mass deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill from the 1960s onwards has translated into policies of "community release". Individuals who previously would have been in mental institutions are no longer supervised by health care workers.

Expectations that community care would lead to fuller social integration were not achieved; many remain without work, have limited social contacts and often live in sheltered environments with out adequate care.

Community services are often uncoordinated and unable to meet complex needs. Services in the community sometimes isolate the mentally ill within a new ghetto, where service users meet each other but have little contact with the rest of the community. It has been said that instead of "community psychiatry", reforms established a "psychiatric community".

Existing patients are often discharged without sufficient preparation or support. A greater proportion of people with mental disorders become homeless or end up in prison. Widespread homelessness of the mentally ill has occurred in some states.

The majority of those who would be under continuous care in long-stay psychiatric hospitals are paranoid and delusional to the point that they refuse help and do not believe they need it, which makes it difficult to treat them.

Moves to community living and services led to various concerns and fears, from both the individuals themselves and other members of the community. Over a quarter of individuals accessing community mental health services in a US inner-city area are victims of at least one violent crime in a year, a proportion eleven times higher than the inner-city average.

The proportion is many times greater in every category of crime, including rape/sexual assault, other violent assaults, and personal and property theft. The rates are similar in those with developmental disabilities.

You still giggling? Your social liberalism ideology before pragmatism has not been so helpful to those poor wretches, to be toys, playthings to your ideological whims.

.30-06, I doubt anything in those reports suggest liberal policies caused the incident in Fullerton, or that liberal policy causes the mentally handicapped to be homeless. That's you..lol

"That's not to say we don't all do it sometime, but most of us realized the balance between what is real and what's over the top." LOL. Yes I can tell that by your constant blaming others for the real and damaging effects of your social ideology. Everyone else is to blame, the policy is sacrosanct. Which is why you have not dared embrace the subject but scribble some platitude or as the usual offer ridicule.
