Video Allegedly Shows Police Beating David Silva to Death

May 15 2013

After allegedly beating 33-year-old David Sal Silva to death last week, Kern County, Calif., officers reportedly confiscated cellphones from multiple witnesses containing videos of the incident, and in some instances were said to delete them. One piece of footage they apparently weren’t able to take away, however, is the recently released grainy black and white surveillance video below that shows parts of the encounter.

Several witnesses say they saw sheriff’s deputies beating the father of four young children with batons, and that they continued to do so even after the victim lay motionless. According to local ABC affiliate KERO, Silva was hit at least 19 times by at least three officers. The FBI has been brought in to investigate.

Although the incident can’t be seen clearly, the video is still graphic and viewer discretion is advised.

The FBI launched an investigation Tuesday into the death of a man who was beaten by authorities amid questions over whether officials tampered with cellphone videos confiscated from witnesses.

Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said he asked the FBI to get involved after learning that one of two phones seized from witnesses had no footage on it.

Two witnesses told The Times that they watched the videos on each of the phones last week in the wake of David Silva’s death. The case is generating widespread attention because several witnesses have come forward to say deputies ruthlessly beat Silva with batons on the head, even after he was motionless on the ground.

Jollof Rice is a common dish that is prepared in the African community. The origin of the rice is the subject of great debate. It is said to have originated from the Wolof tribe in Senegal, which was once a great empire stretching into parts of the Gambia. In some places it is known as “Benachin”, which means “one pot”. There are different variations prepared among African cultures but they all taste great. There is nothing more soothing to the soul than a nice plate of Jollof Rice and Fried Plantain. If you haven’t tried it yet…..TAKE YOUR LIFE SERIOUSLY!!!

Eat a plate of jollof today and change your life!

Super Silky Summer Legs

Next time you are feeling down, about to binge, going on a date, or just need to pamper yourself, do this. I just did it and I can not stop rubbing my legs together. It feels like I paid for that over expensive pedicure at the salon.

Ingredients

1 1/4 C Sugar (Yup, plain, good-ol’ white sugar)

1/2 C Oil (I used olive oil, but you can use any oil, coconut oil, baby oil, canola oil)

3 tablespoons Citrus (Lime or lemon)

1-2 Razors

Mix everything together in a bowl.

Soak your legs in the tub for 5 minutes.

Shave your legs.

Rub some of this mixture all over your legs. The sugar will help rub off all dirt and dead skin. Rub, rub. Feels like a mini massage.

Rinse it all off, shave again. I would use one razor per leg if you have two. You will be rinsing this razor a lot. I was GROSSED out by the amount of dead skin I was “shaving” off. It was insane! Trust me, you’ll see.

Rub your legs again! Second coat of wax, oh yeah.

Rinse off! You can use a mild soap to help get some of the oil off.

Lotion your legs up, and feel the silkiness!

Now this isn’t just geared to ladies…. guys, if you want to get lucky, I suggest you offer to rub your ladies’ feet with this mix too. It feels awesome, and when you get lucky, you will be thanking me that her rough grandma feet aren’t cutting your legs, if ya know what I’m saying… hahaha.

I have silky arm pits too!!

Try it, I swear, You will want everyone to touch your legs.

i just did this and after about 2 or so months of not shaving this is the most incredible thing i have ever done its like my legs arent even legs they’re some sort of ancient fabric made only for powerful pharoahs

i highly suggest this even if you don’t shave use it on your feet or shave your pits or your pubes with it because you will feel like a fucking deity

HOLY SHIT I JUST USED THIS AND???? I FEEL LIKE MY LEGS ARE MADE OF ANGEL WINGS

THIS IS THE BEST THING IF YOU DON’T USE IT YOU’RE CRAZY

I just tried this and it feels so good I want to cry

I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS POST FOR LIKE 6 MONTHS THANK YOU TUMBLR

THIS FUCKING RECIPE IS A WONDERFUL THING. USE IT WHEREVER YOU SHAVE.

FACE? LEGS? IDK JUST SMUSH IT AGAINST YOUR SKIN AND REJOICE

I did this a few days ago and it’s magic!!! I’m still rubbing my legs and feet against everything because it feels sooooo damn gooooood. I am made of sexy silk now, you guys.

yes everyone should do this, i didnt have to shave for two weeks after this and my legs were so smooth!

You know who’s also an entp? Tony Stark.

I’m an ENFP, so I’m mostly similar to Ariel, Rapunzel, Lilo, etc.. which makes sense because Carlos says I’m a lot like those characters and he knows me well. Cool.

USC Students Accuse LAPD of Racial Profiling at African-American Party | Black Blue Dog

USC Students Accuse LAPD of Racial Profiling at African-American Party | Black Blue Dog:

African-American students at USC are accusing the LAPD of racial profiling after dozens of officers responded to a noise complaint at a party wearing riot gear.

Many of the students present at the party circulated videos of what they viewed as racial profiling by the LAPD.

In response to the outcry, an LAPD spokesperson says the department only responded in riot gear after beer bottles were thrown at them. Students attending the party say beer bottles were never thrown at officers.

The LAPD spokesman told USC’s student newspaper that police responded to a noise complaint at around 2AM Saturday and asked the DJ to turn down the music. The DJ reportedly complied with the officer’s request but when he began to use the microphone, officers shut down the party. Officers say some students refused to leave the party and began throwing beer bottles and that’s what prompted a call the riot squad.

Six students were arrested in the melee.

“When police arrived and told us to disperse, most students were leaving. But they came with excessive force pushing all of us out,” student Nate Howard told ABC News.

Lamar Gary, a student who was at the party, can be heard narrating video he took of the party and put on YouTube: “I want you to witness … LAPD right now. We were having fun at a college party. No one had a gun, it was straight up college students. IDs were checked at this party. No one had a gun. And there are 79 LAPD officers right now. I want you to realize there are 79 LAPD officers right now.”

Something I’d like to point out, unrelated to the content of the story - if this had been a different group of people (i.e. not African-American) then the newspaper wouldn’t use the word “accuses.” Headlines would read “Racial profiling at Party” and the article would talk about everything matter-of-fact as if it were obvious that racial profiling had taken place and the tone of the article would imply that the riot gear was a wrong move. However, because the subject of the article is a group of black kids, the media likes to act as if they don’t have an opinion - an accusation is being made, but it’s “unclear” as to what really happened. I’m sure that this is the end of this story in the media. Even if it were discovered that racial profiling was really happening in this case, that story wouldn’t get any coverage.

We are pleased to feature the talented work of illustrator, designer and painter Loyiso Mzike. Loyiso’s portfolio includes dynamic portraits of people throughout Africa.

“creating visual art is a talent and gift i have enjoyed all my life. it has evolved into a tool that i use to express my views and ideas. I paint people and paint about people. our complex nature fascinates me and therefore compels me to expressively tell our story. My work is African and celebrates the beauty and wealth running in the veins of her people. its in the subjects eyes, lips, skin tone/texture, dress, hair, that i draw inspiration from. the experience and stories we carry with us are the corner stones from which we mold a new identity. it is the human spirit that i aim to share in my art. ”

This is Africa, our Africa

"Women complain that life’s rough for them and then men complain it’s rough for them, too. Heads nod..."

Fri, 15 Feb 2013 17:23:00 -0500

“Women complain that life’s rough for them and then men complain it’s rough for them, too. Heads nod amid a collective sigh of relief at once more avoiding honest talk about privilege. Sometimes it’s women who save the day by hastening to point out that for every female who is disadvantaged, men suffer some ill effect of their own. But no matter who does it, the typical result is a dead end or a conversation that focuses more on men’s woes than women’s, taking attention from patriarchy and male privilege and reinforcing male centeredness. In this way, even when the subject is privilege and oppression, somehow the path of least resistance is to turn the conversation toward focusing on and taking care of men.”

Wait Watchers: A Woman Reverses the Gaze:

youdontlooklikeafeminist:

Memphis-based photographer Haley Morris-Cafiero has long been aware of strangers making fun of her behind her back due to her size. So aware, in fact, that she has turned the whole concept into a full-blown photography project. Titled Wait Watchers, the series consists of Morris-Cafiero’s self-portraits in public in which strangers can be seen in the background giving her strange looks and/or laughing.

The project was born when Morris-Cafiero was working on a separate project titled Something to Weigh. For one of the photos in that project, she snapped a self-portrait while sitting on some steps in Times Square.

After processing the film, she noticed that there was a man behind her making a face at her while being photographed by a female friend:

She noticed something similar in a photograph captured just five minutes later at a different location.

Morris-Cafiero then began setting up her camera in heavily trafficked public areas, composing the shots, setting a self-timer, and then stepping into the frame. The camera snaps a photo while she’s doing everything things (e.g. chatting on her phone or grabbing a bite to eat), and her hope is that the image also captures an interesting expression from at least one passing stranger.

I now reverse the gaze and record their reactions to me while I perform mundane tasks in public spaces. I seek out spaces that are visually interesting and geographically diverse. I try to place myself in compositions that contain feminine icons or advertisements. Otherwise, I position myself and the camera in a pool of people…and wait [#]

The images capture the gazer in a microsecond moment where they, for unknowable reasons, have a look on their face that questions my presence. Whether they are questioning my position in front of the lens or questioning my body size, the gazer appears to be visually troubled that I am in front of them [#]

You can find more photos from this series over on Haley Morris-Cafiero’s personal website.

Not going to lie. I had a hard time viewing these. We’ve all caught those looks.

what a powerful project. i really, really love the idea, even if it is hard to look at the end results.
