This footage, released today, shows the beating of a homeless man by police in Fullerton, CA. The man died five days later at UC Irvine Medical Center. The second video is shorter, and shows before and after photos of the man, who had a history of mentl illness. The preliminary hearing for the crime has been continued until tomorrow. Apparently, the police who murdered the man were unaware of a camera, mounted on a nearby pole.
