No idea the ethnicity of the foreman, if it was mentioned on KFI I most likely forgot. Even though Kelly Thomas was white, I was still not expecting a guilty verdict. Old people just love to kiss the ass of police and act as an apologist for them, even for one who is hispanic . If a white guy can get his ass kicked on video and dies shortly after and no cop gets convicted that sends a message to blacks and latinos if a cop gets out of line and kills them, the cop's acquittal is nearly guaranteed, if it even makes it that far.
