DESCRIPTION:Press Conference:\nFAMILIES REACT TO RELEASE OF POLICE OFFICERS NAMED IN 
 SHOOTINGS\n\nFamilies of Carlos Mejia and Frank Alvarado\nCall For 
 Additional Transparency of Officers records, DOJ investigation, Over site 
 Committee and Dash Camera, Body Cam Selection\n\nThis year the City of 
 Salinas has seen four shooting deaths of Latino men by Salinas' police 
 officers.\n\nFor the past several months the families of Carlos Mejia and 
 Frank Alvarado thru their attorney John Burris have sought the release of 
 names, of those involved in the questionable deaths of their loved ones at 
 the hands of Salinas Police Officers. The same had been requested by 
 several local media outlets. Despite a Supreme Court ruling shortly 
 afterward in favor of public transparency, no names were forthcoming until 
 now. This has fueled distrust in a community which is 76% Latino. 
 Additionally the families have requested an investigation by the Department 
 of Justice Special Litigation Unit regarding patterns of discriminatory 
 practice within the Salinas Police Department. If the City of Salinas is to 
 move forward and establish trust by all parties, then we must build that 
 foundation on Transparency.\n\nCivil Rights Activist & Advocate; Margaret 
 Serna Bonetti and Families of Carlos Mejia and Frank Alvarado\n\nWhen: 
 11:00 am Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2014,\n\nWhere: Salinas City Hall Lincoln St. 
 Salinas CA.\n\nWho: Civil Rights Activist & Advocate; Margaret Serna 
 Bonetti and surviving family members of Latino men killed by the Salinas 
 Police Department\n\nSubject: In light of the recent decision by the 
 Salinas Police Department and Salinas City Attorney, to release the names 
 of all officers involved in the questionable use of force shooting deaths 
 of 4 Latino men earlier this year, families react to the news and seek a 
 “way forward” for themselves and others seeking justice from the 
 Salinas Police Department. They and other community members will be 
 present\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/10/01/18762283.php
