David Sal Silva was a father of four who was savagely beaten to death on March 8, 2013, by seven Kern County Sheriff's deputies and two California Highway Patrol officers in an unincorporated area of Bakersfield, California. This was the third fatal beatdown perpetrated by Kern County Sheriff's Office personnel since 2005, and the fifth questionable death at their hands. This web site hopes to achieve Justice for David Sal Silva by working towards two goals: The prosecution and imprisonment of his murderers, and an effective reform of the Kern County Sheriff's Office so as to ensure this never happens to anyone again. |

DonnyBoy: Cost of killing vs. crippling inmates
It’s “a totally different ballgame” when it happens in a jail to an inmate who is in restraints and surrounded by multiple officers, Youngblood said. “It’s no different than when a deputy shoots someone on the streets, which way do you think is better financially? To cripple them or kill them, for the county,” Youngblood asks. “Kill them,” said a voice from the audience. (click on the link to read the rest at the Bakersfield Caliornian)
