Who the Hell is Running Fullerton?

Hat tip to Friends for Fullerton's Future

Pat McKinley is a former chief of police of the Fullerton, California PD. He has also "served" as a member of the Orange County Human Relations Commission (ugh) under his old pal, Rusty "the Empty Suit" Kennedy. Currently, McKinley is under fire and under a recall drive as a Fullerton City Councilman as a result of the beating death last year of a homeless man named Kelly Thomas by a group of Fullerton cops. (Two police officers have been charged in the death.) Below is a video produced by Kelly's Army and posted in Friends for Fullerton's Future. It contains a graphic photo of Kelly Thomas in the hospital which shows the damage to his face.

Courtesy of the blog, Friends for Fullerton's Future, which is active in the recall drive, here is a video of McKinley speaking this week before a group of ladies in the nearby Brea community who are concerned about inappropriate actions by police who stop them. Aside from the Thomas case, Fullerton PD also underwent another scandal as a result of complaints against officer Albert Rincon, who was accused of several instances of physically molesting women he stopped. According to Friends of Fullerton's Future, McKinley was the chief of police while Rincon was on the force.

Of course, being retired law enforcement, I don't rush to condemn cops. Nevertheless, just watching this video of McKinley, my reaction is; "Does this guy have a clue?"
