George Floyd’s Death Haunts Bakersfield Man

By the time Chris Silva got the call about his brother’s death it was already the lead story on the local news. Bakersfield resident David Silva died the night of May 7, 2013 after a controversial struggle with seven deputies with the Kern County Sheriff’s Department and two California Highway Patrol officers. The death was ruled accidental and none of the officers were disciplined. In this episode of I WAS THERE, Silva reflects on his brother’s death, today’s police reform movement and what he says is a glaring conflict of interest among local sheriffs throughout California.
