On the video which has been viewed 2.3 million times, Thomas declared "There is no honor in this! This is not a war zone!"
Clearly Thomas, who served in Iraq for 14 months takes his vow to protect and serve Americans seriously.
I don't see how anyone could not respect the stand he took. Except it turns out, Glenn Beck, a man who truly knows no honor:
BECK: The guy who was like there’s no honor in this, these people are unarmed, there’s no honor in this and I’m watching this [laughing] and I couldn’t take it anymore, because the video shows this Marine yelling [mocking crying voice] stop brutalizing, we’re unarmed! And the cops have their hands in their pockets. [...] They’re like, “We know, we’re standing here.”
CO-HOST: What, you want us to brutalize you, is that what you want? [...]
OTHER CO-HOST: That video taken from the right angle is just one panicked man screaming. As long as you take that picture from one side, it’s pretty dramatic.

What is clear is that Beck had the dishonourable motivation to mock a heroic marine, so much so that he didn't watch the whole footage. Thomas wasn't accusing the cops he was speaking to "with their hands in their pockets" of police brutality but speaking to them of previous brutality he had witnessed earlier. A man as dishonourable as Beck shouldn't be trying to make anyone look bad-he looks plenty bad himself.
