Last August, the East Bay Times identified one of the officers who shot Salgado, Sgt. Richard Henderson. The newspaper noted that Henderson killed another young Latino man in Southern California in 2016 during a very similar traffic stop, and that the CHP sergeant is facing a civil rights lawsuit over the incident.
In addition, The Oaklandside has learned that in 2017 Henderson’s girlfriend was shot and killed by five Long Beach police officers in front of his home, after he called the police on her.
The Los Angeles District Attorney found no fault with the shooting by the Long Beach officers and Henderson’s actions leading up to the incident weren’t investigated by his employer, CHP, because he was off duty at the time. But Henderson’s involvement in three fatal police shootings in five years—twice as a shooter—raises questions about what else might be in his background, and whether the two other CHP officers who killed Salgado have similar controversial histories.

While his name was not mentioned, an article in the current edition of Rolling Stone about White supremacy in American policing makes reference to a former Philadelphia police officer and trainer who used to be in a well-known band associated with the neo-Nazi scene in the city.
“A Philadelphia cop played drums in a racist skinhead band through the mid- to late-Nineties before joining the police force, serving until his retirement a few years ago,” the article read, noting further that he did not respond to interview requests. While this was a vague reference in the article it is well known that Brian P. Haughton was the drummer for the ironically named band Arresting Officers before becoming a police officer for 21 years, later retiring and becoming a police trainer, a role that he is prominently in today. | |

Sometimes, when I am not feeling crippling anxiety about my six-figure student debt and four-figure medical bills, I experience nibbles of guilt about the fact that I spend more time figuring out how to file paperwork allowing me to delay payment of these things than I do considering actually paying them. These inclinations toward bothersome, rule-following behavior are why I am grateful for content like Market Watch, wherein rich people remind me that dodging financial obligations is actually one the absolute classiest things I can do. | |
