The online hacktivist Anonymous has taken down the official website of Fullerton police department against the arrest of protesters and citizen journalist during a protest.
It all started against the acquittal of two police officers involved in beating a mentally ill homeless Kelly Thomas to death in 2011. Thirteen among hundreds of people who gathered protesting against the acquittal were arrested and beating by the police, indulging citizen journalists.
The CBS2 reported that protest was peaceful but at one point, a demonstrator allegedly assaulted a CBS2/KCAL9 camerawoman.
As a result of arrest and acquittal of police officers, Anonymous decided to take things in their hands and crushed down the official website of Fullerton police department, which at the time of publishing this article was down and showing error message.
Stay with us we will be updating the article as more information come by.
Update: Fullerton police department website has been restored and working online.
