Uncontrollable CHP Police Refuse to Release Bodycam or ID the Cop who Shot Erik Salgado 18X b/c "the People" Apparently Granted Its Power To Its “Servants" to Make Them Masters Over Public Video
Rulers don’t serve servants. Counselor Burris must re-enact the murder of Eric Salgado b/c the Authorities keep the video secret. “In an often unremarked development, police have taken control of body camera programs and - most damaging - they have claimed sole ownership of the videos themselves. They decide which system to buy; they determine how to configure those systems; they decide when and how to activate the cameras; they control who may have access to the videos and when; and they determine how long to keep the videos, and whether to destroy them.” “This configuration runs entirely counter to accountability: the very party that the program aims to check currently has full control over its contents.”
GIVING THEM THE POWER TO RULE US? From [HERE] On what would have been Erik Salgado’s 24th birthday, his Oakland family and their attorney announced they are filing a wrongful-death lawsuit for a June 6 CHP police shooting that killed Salgado and wounded his pregnant girlfriend who was shot in the stomach.
Erik Salgado’s mother is asking officers for two things: to see body-cam footage of the incident and to know the names of the officers involved in the shooting.
Erik Salgado, 23, was fatally shot by CHP officers yards from his home on June 6. His girlfriend was injured in the shooting and lost their baby.
Family attorney John Burris recounted the events that took place on June 6.
“(A CHP officer) stood right here and started shooting into the car,” Burris said. “The number of shots fired was enough to kill a militia. It was a massacre!”
Burris claims that roughly 40 shots were fired, 18 of them striking Delgado.
Felina Ramirez, Delgado’s mother, spoke through an interpreter, saying, “I don’t understand why with such cruelty — what was the requirement for that?”
The family and legal team say the force was unjustified. Burris claims the safety of the officers was never in question. All Delgado tried to do, Burris says, was to maneuver around a car.
But that’s not the information from the agency investigating this case. According to the Oakland police department, Delgado was in a stolen Dodge Charger and started ramming police cars during a traffic stop. That’s when officers opened fire.
The family is pleading for transparency but, in some cases, police agencies are allowed to withhold certain information. The Salgado family says they just want to see what happened and who exactly was responsible for taking Erik and his unborn son’s life.
KPIX reached out to the CHP for comment but was told it cannot speak about pending litigation. The Oakland police department says it is still investigating the case along with the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office.
AUTHORITY IS A FARCE. Larken Rose explains,
“Contrary to what nearly everyone has been taught to believe, “government” is not necessary for civilization. It is not conducive to civilization. It is, in fact, the antithesis of civilization. It is not cooperation, or working together, or voluntary interaction. It is not peaceful coexistence. It is coercion; it is force; it is violence. It is animalistic aggression, cloaked by pseudo-religious, cult-like rituals which are designed P make it appear legitimate and righteous. It is brute thuggery, disguised as consent and organization. It is the enslavement of mankind, the subjugation of free will, and the destruction of morality, masquerading as “civilization” and “society.” The problem is not just that “authority” can be used for evil; the problem is that, at its most basic essence, it is evil. In everything it does, it defeats the free will of human being controlling them through coercion and fear. It supersedes and destroys moral consciences, replacing them with unthinking blind obedience. It cannot be used for good, any more than a bomb can be used to heal a body. It is always aggression, always the enemy of peace, always the enemy of justice. The moment it ceases to be an attacker, it ceases to fit the definition of “government.” It is, by its very nature, a murderer and a thief, the enemy of mankind, a poison to humanity. As dominator and controller, ruler and oppressor, it can be nothing else.
The alleged right to rule, in any degree and in any form, is the opposite of humanity. The initiation of violence is the opposite of harmonious coexistence. The desire for dominion is the opposite of love for mankind. Hiding the violence under layers of complex rituals and self-contradictory rationalizations, and labeling brute thuggery as virtue and compassion, does not change that fact. Claiming noble goals, saying that the violence is “the will of the people,” or that it is being committed “for the common good” or “for the children,” cannot change evil into good. “Legalizing” wrong does not make it right. One man forcibly subjugating another, no matter how it is described or how it is carried out, is uncivilized and immoral. The destruction it causes, the injustice it creates, the damage it does to every soul that it touches – perpetrators, victims, and spectators alike-cannot be undone by calling it “law,” or by claiming that it was necessary. Evil, by any name, is still evil. “
