Isn't it interesting how we will be open to entire serial television shows portraying public corruption in places like Baltimore (@AoDespair)
Lotta corrupt "black" officials portrayed and we know there is a lot of corruption in big cities.
But an insular tourist / ag town
2/
run by the most powerful white dude in California - @LeonPanetta12 - and he doesn't even get asked about corruption in real life.
The best capture of Monterey County is when a lot of social justice warrior white women (mainly) have to deal with an abusive man and sex.
3/
But in reality we have it all - really.
A big public hospital - run by a good old boy white dude becomes the fiscal agent for up and comer UCLA educated, Latina attorney - becomes the laundry machine for a legal grant from the Packard Foundation, to fund a $90,000 a year
4/
job to someone who they had already worked out to be "pliable".
This is Leon Panetta's community.
Corrupt to the core and it's all been unmentionable - until now. 😂

Henry Jones, of California Tow, is the "Evidence Tow" for @SalinasPD & @CHP_HQ MoCo.
California Tow had a towed vehicle / impound buyback program with all the cops and some friends of cops. Ask @Kelly_McMillin. He was a Lt. at the time. Dan Ortega the Chief of SPD tried to stop
It's important in this age of Nazism to understand who pushed or helped push an agenda that led to more corruption in local communities across this great country.
In 2010 I was talking with a former judge, and notorious right winger, John Price who asks me if I had ever heard
2/
of Boots Road Consulting and Spencer Critchley.
I told John I heard both names come up from time to time 😂 and the former judge and notorious right winger tells me he thinks we should all have lunch.
😂😂
Spencer Critchley got a paid gig with the @CityofSalinas to spin
3/
and crisis mgmt. (via his @bootsroad) whatever criminal conspiracy the powers that be wanted managed.
Spencer Critchley has had lunch several times with @Kelly_McMillin.
And what did Kelly McMillin do over 4 years? @FBIWFO
.@CityofMonterey is really trying to sell the public (because the council has made up its mind), on the safety of legal marijuana sales.
Look people. Sales of marijuana IS safe.
The people you (city officials) are jumping in business with are the problem. It isn't the 420.
2/
It's beautiful to again watch @MontereyPolice gloss over organized crime within Monterey County marijuana.
Hober's report is embarrassingly unprofessionally. It's about as good as former Salinas Police Chief Louis Fetherolf's "state of the city" report a bunch of years ago.
3/
IT WAS SO BAD (Salinas) the officials scrapped the entire report and redrew the parameters & tone. It was a white wash.
Y'all locals know who the Senior Deputy City Attorney was then?
Christine Davi - is the current city attorney for Monterey.
.@MontereyPolice refused to investigate a fentanyl drug overdose. The source of China White made the PD uncomfortable.
Richard Lee, who ultimately becomes the DA investigator that ended the Brass Rail cocaine case from Oldtown Salinas, was a new Phillips hire at the DA's office
2/
Monterey Police wasn't working the case and Lee was told to contact a private attorney to discuss the case.
That private attorney?
Bill Bryan
Who is Bill Bryan? Bryan was a cocaine lawyer and his partner was Tom Wills.
John Phillips and myself helped Wills become a judge.
3/
What happened to the case?
There was no coroner inquest.
No competent investigation by @MontereyPolice - and the coroner ultimately ruled the death an "accidental overdose".
The coroner is part of @MCoSheriff. The coroner who ruled that Monterey drug overdose accidental?
"Callahan, the former president of World Jai Alai, was shot dead by John Martorano, one of Bulger’s hitmen.
Martorano testified he was working for Bulger when he killed Callahan, who was also a friend of his. Bulger wanted Callahan dead" bostonherald.com/2021/02/12/dis…

"Movies from “The Departed” to “Black Mass” have dramatized Bulger’s brutality. But for Mary Callahan, the sadness remains on a loop. A victim-witness representative from Florida keeps her informed, but she has shared with the Herald that the loneliness is ..."

"a fate that often feels like a sentence all its own, especially in her later years."

Victims of Organized Crime pay real consequences.
In Monterey County we have a guy who has traded on that "joke" his entire career.
... this is @MCoSheriff Derrell Simpson. He is in charge of internal affairs.
Three months ago I had a conversation with Simpson about a probable violation of Penal Code section 115, causing a false document to be publicly filed.
@adelefrese asked the sheriff deputies to perform a welfare check on Salinas Police Officer Gabe Carvey. Carvey wasn't answering his phone and made some comments about his state.
County communications (so @WendyRootAskew's oversight responsibility) manipulated the document
3/
to read "Dana Carvey" so the public would not find this record and be alerted to a growing scandal within @SalinasPD.
It's called burying the clues.
Cmdr. Simpson assured me they were opening an investigation and would also provide me a copy of the record per my request.
