Where is the outrage about the police beating death of David Silva? [View all]
"The Silva case should shake this nation to the core. Yet we stay silent. Perhaps these details will convince you: There were reports that Silva was struck “more than a dozen times” by police batons, that witnesses took videos of the incidents, videos that were seized by Bakersfield police hours after the incident. Silva died in custody. Witnesses have already gone on record to question the police’s story that Silva was intoxicated and struggling with police. There are even claims that one of the cellphone videos has already been erased by police though there is no proof that one of the cellphone videos confiscated by police is missing. The Kern County Sheriff has had to bring in the FBI to investigate. The cellphone videos are now being analyzed by the FBI. And Silva’s family, through Cohn, are raising serious questions as to how the entire matter has been handled."
"Yet where is the national outrage? Where are the tweets and the hashtags and the calls for justice? Where are the cameras descending onto Bakersfield with 24/7 coverage? Is the mainstream media more consumed by Washington issues and Cleveland kidnapping stories? Apparently."
