BAKERSFIELD, CA -- Kern County deputies beat an intoxicated man to death in the street Tuesday night, then detained and intimidated witnesses, confiscated video evidence, and arrested another man who spoke out. David Silva was beaten with batons, left in a pool of blood until an ambulance finally arrived after he was already dead.
A female 9-1-1 caller named Selena told the dispatcher, "There's a man laying on the floor, and your police officers beat the (expletive) out of him and killed him." She said that she witnessed the victim do nothing wrong to cause 8 officers to bludgeon him to death. "These cops had no reason to do this to this man."

A 19-year-old male witness, Ruben Ceballos, was awakened around midnight by screams and loud banging noises outside his home. He said he ran to the left side of his house to find out who was causing the ruckus."When I got outside I saw two officers beating a man with batons and they were hitting his head so every time they would swing, I could hear the blows to his head." He said that Silva was on the ground screaming for help, but officers continued to beat him After several minutes, Silva stopped screaming and was no longer responsive, according to Ceballos.
Another witness, Jason Land, said that he witnessed the beating of David Silva. "They jumped out, reached for their bats, and beat that man until they killed him," he said, "right in front of my face." Land spoke up about what he saw and was arrested as retaliation. The witness was on probation and says police responded to his eyewitness report by claiming he was high on PCP and arrested him without any proof.
Witnesses also say that the victim's body was left to bleed out in the street for a prolonged period without any medical attention, wasting crucial minutes before the ambulance arrived. By that point, it was too late and CPR attempts were futile.
Other witnesses, including Melissa Quair, were harassed and told that they must surrender their cell phones as "evidence." Their houses were even searched as a crime scene in order to confiscate the video evidence.
The victim's brother, Christopher Silva, says his brother was murdered and wants justice. He is demanding that his brother's body be released so that he can see the result of the beating. He wants the confiscated videos to be released. "My brother spent the last eight minutes of his life pleading, begging for his life. The true evidence is in those phone witnesses that apparently the sheriff deputies already took. But I know the truth will come out and my brother's voice will be heard."

Listen friend I could have gone longer but I don't care for the long winded try too hard posts. I tried to keep it short and sweet. Aside from posts, what other things do you judge? Pie eating contests? Singing compe ions? Wife banging compe ions? Chili Cook offs? Hat decorating?
None of that.
Just an audience member throwing a rotten tomato

Certified expert on this one.
So far - only hearsay - no facts yet.
Yo, Yoakam, give me a hollah!
I'm sure the LAPD is just itching to recruit these fine police officers. Multiple witnesses harrassed/arrested and evidence seizure. "Protocols must be followed." I wouldn't expect a Rodney King story here, but a quick cover-up and a few suspensions/transfers.
Nothing but hearsay so far - use your brain before speaking please.
ACAB.
Look up hearsay and report back to me. This event had witnesses who had direct experience with the murder.
hope my cali be@ner brothers throw a rodney king esque riot over this tbh
Deputy Shrute didn't pass the bar exam.
Typically, one can classify a statement as hearsay under the Federal Rules of Evidence using a three-step analysis. A statement will be considered hearsay if it is:
- An assertive statement
- Made by an out-of-court declarant
- Is being offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted therein.
So all police statements are hearsay since they are made out of court.
lol
Way to own yourself, Deputy Shrute.
cop-slurping cultist gets owned again
hearsay
Dumb - it is all hearsay - both sides - so calm the down until there are facts.
