An anonymous reader shared the content below, featuring a music video with a police brutality theme (specifically the murder of Kelly Thomas by employees of the Fullerton Police Department in July of 2011), via the Cop Block Submissions page:
“Surrogates, an Atlanta based Alternative Mathy/Prog Rock Band, posted this music video, entitled “Kelly,” on their YouTube account. Included at the end of the video is surveillance footage of the police killing Kelly Thomas. I thought you would find this interesting.
Keep up what you guys are doing! Before I thought I was alone in the philosophy against police brutality. Finding your Facebook page when I was in high school gave me hope in humanity.
Thank you.”
“Kelly” by Surrogates – Album: I Made You Something
Lyrics:
Found you on the side again
It seems like it’s been every night
Do you enjoy this ‘cus your guaranteed to love this time
Your stepping out of line again
These fists these white gloves
They’re getting ready
They’re ready to fuck you up
Watch the flashing lights
Watch me now watch me
Watch me take a life
Watch me now watch me now
Oh he starts to moan
Oh he fights alone
Oh break his bones
Beat the bitch, where he stands
Chorus:
Oh the witch the witch is dead
Kill Kelly where he stands
Oh the witch the witch is dead
Kill Kelly Thomas
Is this whats its like
‘Cus I’m hungry for the power, man
Then he starts to cry
He cries out for his own dad
You can’t apologize
And boys don’t you let him try
Hands behind you back! (x3)
Watch the flashing lights
Watch me now watch me
Watch me take a life
Watch me now watch me now
Oh he starts to moan
Oh he fights alone
Oh break his bones
Beat the bitch, where he stands
Chorus:
Oh the witch the witch is dead
Kill Kelly where he stands
Oh the witch the witch is dead
Kill Kelly Thomas
And he will not be missed
There are no witnesses (x2)
Oh he starts to moan
Oh he fights alone
Oh break his bones
Beat the bitch, where he stands
Chorus:
Oh the witch the witch is dead
Kill Kelly where he stands
Oh the witch the witch is dead
Kill Kelly while he screams
Dad (x6)

Wow.
Worse than being factually inaccurate…..this one just stinks.
of course you would stand up for the pig fucks that kill innocent people. War is coming and you have chosen your side.
So…you aren’t a fan of facts.
Ok then
Nope
All of the officers involved in Kelly Thomas’s death should be executed by firing squad. the execution should be streamed live as a deterrent to other pig fucks showing what happens to those that abuse their power. Death to all unjust pigs. I pray their blood will fill the streets.
More threats. The thing is the officers were cleared of any charges by a jury dumbshit. In this case, you opinion doesn’t matter. The jury has spoken and has more credibility than you.
your strings are the size of fire hoses.
Crappy video and song. If any royalties come from this will it go to Kelly’s family? I doubt it. By the way, the police were found not guilty by a jury.
So that proves what in this day and age? Because to me it proves nothing
It proves the officers were acquitted by a jury. They were found not guilty. They cannot be retried. The case is over. The jury’s decision is on the books as “not guilty”
Personally, I prefer Joan Baez doing “Joe Hill”. Forensics, politics, and found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Except for the forensics and that there should have been no politics.
