A California father of four died Wednesday shortly after a group of police allegedly beat him with batons as he lay defenseless on the sidewalk. Cops, before confiscating witness’ cameras, also reportedly unleashed a canine unit on him.

David Sal Silva, 33, allegedly resisted when police approached him to ask if he was who neighbors called about to complain of an intoxicated man in the area. The officers called for backup and, witnesses told the Bakersfield Californian, Silva was soon being beaten in the face and upper body by as many as nine policemen and their batons. At least one of the cops reportedly held a German Shepherd on a leash nearby.   Continue reading “California dad ‘begged for his life’ as police beat him to death – witnesses”

When NYPD Chief Ray Kelly said “privacy was off the table” following the Boston bombing, we all knew this was a one-way “exchange.” It was always going to be average citizens losing out on their privacy. The NYPD would remain unaffected and continue to operate the way it has for years: behind the thin thick blue line of opacity.

Salon’s CJ Ciaramella takes a detailed look at the NYPD’s track record on Freedom of Information requests. The results are unsurprising. The public entities that demand the most from their constituents are often the most reluctant to give anything back.    Continue reading “NYPD Chief Ray Kelly And Mayor Bloomberg Still Think Privacy Is A Good Thing — Just Not YOUR Privacy”
