(Associated Press file photo) A poster of Kelly Thomas hangs near the Fullerton Transportation Center on July 12 in the hopes of eliciting information about a police beating believed to have led to Thomas’ death. Police in this small California college town should have been familiar with Thomas and his history of mental illness, but Thomas died of head and neck injuries last month after a fight with six Fullerton officers who were trying to search his backpack after reports he’d been breaking into cars. His death has raised questions about how well the city’s officers are trained to deal with the mentally ill.
