As pressure against the Fullerton Police Department mounts over the beating death of a mentally ill homeless man, the hacker group Anonymous has vowed to launch a cyber war against the department and any other agency associated with it unless certain demands are met.
“Operation Fullerton” will begin today at “High Noon Pacific Time (3 p.m. EST),” which is when Anonymous will begin hacking the police department’s website, according to a statement posted on Paste Bin just before midnight Friday.
The group demands the prosecution of all six officers involved, the resignation of its chief and a $5 million payout to the family of Kelly Thomas, the 37-year-old man was beaten and tased to death on July 5.
While meeting those demands might take some time, there is no question that releasing the surveillance video that captured the beating can and should be done immediately.
The Orange County District Attorney’s office said it is not releasing the video because it does not want it to taint witness testimony.
