.@Kelly_McMillin was the Chief of Police of @SalinasPD for four short years. He did untold damage to SPD through his terrible example. Everything he did from CASP to "carrot vs. stick" gang talk was all bullshit. Kelly rented property from a long term convicted narco and we ImageImageImageImage

have all learned, you can learn a lot about a person by the company they keep. Kelly not only endorsed @kimbleycraig for Mayor of the @CityofSalinas - he campaigned for her, @SalinasPolice gave her over $50,000 for her Mayoral run (via the POA and Joe Gunter's funds).

Kelly was chief he protected narco-traffickers who are white and "cracked down" on brown people. Those are facts borne out by the data - data which none of our paid media has analyzed, ever.

I know. I helped clean up the @MCoSheriff's department from 2011 - 2015.
4/

Our media has fallen in love w/ policing and help to demonize Black and Brown people to fill the rapacious appetite of the prison industrial complex while looking the other way at VIP crime. Politicians and major narcos get a pass in #Salinas and elsewhere.

That must change.

Know your California?

... who are these sinister rich people? Image
Ben Swig, @JerryBrownGov's Dad's buddy and business partner on Cannery Row. The Orradre's who financed a huge chunk of @SheriffBernal's deputy - sheriff campaign in 2014 in Monterey County.

Deep state is alive and well and exists among the super-rich.

And CA is ok with Newsom? Image
See the problem with California corruption @cmarinucci?

How about you @bradleyzeve? Image

State Senator Anna Caballero started out in politics as a sideways Mayor for the @CityofSalinas. Nothing she touches turns out good and @GavinNewsom had her on a short list for AG of CA, but chose @RobBonta instead.

This is part of Caballero's legacy:

@CASenCaballero did nothing about corruption in Salinas CA. In fact, Caballero's political influence made it worse. Sal Jimenez is part owner of the one card room in all of Salinas - he and his partner rec. special treatment. SJ had been on the planning commish.

@bradleyzeve

One source of income for Sal Jimenez, as disclosed on his @CA_FPPC forms was from the owner of @SalinasPD's "evidence tow" Henry Jones.

Henry Jones is best buddies with the guy @JerryBrownGov corruptly pardoned. Dave's a criminal.

But his buddy Henry Jones flies blue line

2019 - 2021, two year later, there remains an active money laundering case involving public officials and political consultants. (like @RepJimmyPanetta and Plasha Will)

Fickas, mentioned below, was a political consultant who worked with Panetta's people until a rape conviction. Image

.@GavinNewsom gave Fickas' attorney a promotion to Superior Court Judge two months after Jennifer Davenport got Fickas a 28 year deal (14 years state time) for multiple rapes of campaign workers he reportedly drugged and then violated. Image

PSA: @JerryBrownGov pardoned Dave Drew. It was absolutely corrupt from start to finish. @bradleyzeve's @mcweekly, @MontereyHerald, @salnews all have acknowledged this.

Questions for this "former" narco trafficker who made all his money selling dope in the community:

1. Who is

Mike Richards, to you?

6. When did you learn that "Judge" John Phillips was supporting your 2010 certificate of rehabilitation? And why?

The most covered-"up" story by the ⁦@mcweekly⁩, owned by @bradleyzeve.

This is about marijuana, licensing, the @CityofSalinas and @wendyrootaskew's County of Monterey. Public officials who have been receiving cash (and drugs) for legislative favors.

@AGRobBonta
2/

The paid press talking about @RobBonta buddy @SupervisorAlejo or former Salinas Mayor @CASenCaballero being a subject of interest in an ongoing @FBI probe into bribery and corruption, involving marijuana interests.

This seems like a problem for @GavinNewsom too. @cmarinucci
3/

Fast forward a couple months after this message and it was learned that it was ALSO @SupervisorAlejo "allegedly" taking bribes from marijuana interests in Monterey County.

@GavinNewsom's new Attorney General @RobBonta is particularly good friends with Louie Alejo.

It's a good look. ImageImage
Murdered a single mother for profit and his lawyer claimed the @MCoSheriff detective Martinez was persecuting the family.

Nonsense. Image
"The jury reached the verdict, which included a guilty finding on the special circumstance allegation of murder for financial gain, Wednesday following a three-week trial. According to the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office, Cabrera strangled Singh in their Marina home"
