Los Angeles ( CNN ) -- A Fullerton , California , police officer charged with second-degree murder in the beating death of a mentally ill homeless man was released from jail Thursday after posting a bond in lieu of $ 1 million bail , the Orange County Sheriff 's Department spokesman said . Manuel Ramos , 37 , a 10-year veteran of the Fullerton Police Department , is also charged with involuntary manslaughter in the July death of Kelly Thomas , 37 . Ramos ' family and friends raised the $ 100,000 for the bond -- which typically is 10 % of the bail -- to secure his release from custody , said Jim Amormino , spokesman for the Orange County sheriff . Ramos was released shortly after midnight Thursday , Amormino said . `` By the time they do the paperwork and things of that nature , many times it 's that late in the morning , '' Amormino told CNN . Thomas ' father , Ron , 55 , of Cypress , California , objected to Ramos ' release and said Ramos should have been held without bail . `` I do n't want him released because he brutally murdered my son , '' said Thomas , who 's a safety consultant for the construction industry . He was an Army Ranger in special ops for 10 years ; a martial arts master , he now teaches hand-to-hand combat to Marines going to Iraq and Afghanistan , he said . Also charged in the Thomas case is Cpl . Jay Patrick Cicinelli , who is charged with involuntary manslaughter and felony use of excessive force . He was released last week on $ 25,000 bail . Both officers have pleaded not guilty to the charges . The two men are among six Fullerton police officers -- all men -- who were involved in the Thomas arrest and have been placed on involuntary , paid administrative leave . The FBI is also investigating the incident for civil rights violations . Ron Thomas , the father , said Thursday he wants criminal charges against each of the other four officers . `` Even if he just stood there and did absolutely nothing , that 's what he should be charged with . He did n't prevent my son 's death , '' Thomas said . The Orange County district attorney 's office said this month that no charges were filed against the other four because `` the evidence does not show knowing participation in an unlawful act on the part of these officers . '' Kelly Thomas , a 37-year-old homeless man with schizophrenia , was beaten by police during an altercation July 5 and died five days later . The case drew widespread attention to the police department of Fullerton , about 25 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles . Since then , two other allegations of brutality at the hands of city police have surfaced , both regarding unrelated arrests in 2010 . District Attorney Tony Rackauckas and fellow prosecutors viewed 16 minutes of bus depot surveillance video showing what happened in the Thomas case , Rackauckas has said . Thomas suffered brain injuries , facial fractures , rib fractures , and extensive bruising and abrasions , the prosecutor 's office said . The Orange County coroner listed his manner of death as a homicide and said he died after having his chest compressed , leaving him unable to breathe . Ramos had made initial contact with Thomas -- whom he knew as a `` homeless drifter '' -- after police received a call about a homeless man looking in car windows and pulling on handles of parked cars , Rackauckas said . `` He lifted his fists to Kelly Thomas and he said , 'You see my fist ? Now they 're getting to ready to F you up , ' `` Rackauckas said , using `` F '' instead of the full profanity . The district attorney said Ramos ' conduct was unacceptable and `` not protecting and serving '' the public . `` Ramos had to know that he was creating a situation where Kelly Thomas feared for his life and was struggling to get away from an armed officer who was going to ' F him up , ' '' Rackauckas said . Cicinelli arrived at the scene later . He is accused of using excessive force when he allegedly assaulted and beat Thomas , including using the front end of his Taser to hit the victim on the head and face eight times while the man was pinned to the ground by other officers . At that point , Thomas was making no audible sounds , indicating that he was `` down and seriously injured , '' the prosecutor 's office said . CNN 's Stella Chan contributed to this report .
