Joe Livernois spiked a story I gave the @VoicesofBay co-founder a story in 2000. @CityofSalinas was rigging promotional exams for @chief_filice @SalinasPD which led to the promotion of losers like Cassie McSorley. Cassie had been looked at because she was a @Kelly_McMillin. Dunce
2/

So this is the story (I wonder if that weirdo Joe Livernois remembers @MelendezSalinas because I still have the documents) - Salinas was set on promoting the worst cops in the 90's and 00's because of @CASenCaballero politics.

Cassie McSorley was a Sgt. at the time and test
3/

for a promotion to Lt. (McSorley). The contract with @SalinasPolice and the mgmt. arm SPMA called for A band testers to be considered. B band was only considered if there were no A band testers and C band was a fail. No one was to be picked from C band.

Cassie tests and
4/

scores and 88 on her testing. Not terrible but not great. Cassie was in B band. Along with 3-4 other cops. Another 88, and 87 or 86. All B band.

The RULES called for the B band list to become certified and sent to Dave Mora for selected but Dave Mora, @CASenCaballero and
5/

Jorge Rifa (who I called Jorge Riff Raff) the "affirmative action officer") rigged the list certification so McSorley was in A band all by herself and by contract was the only promotional possible - it seemed.

The cops had been complaining to me for years that the process
6/

was rigged. I submitted a public records request to the @CityofSalinas' Jim Sanchez, the city attorney at the time. He declined to release the list because it would "violate the privacy of the officers testing" and I clarified that I was asking for the list with names
7/

redacted. Sanchez agreed with my view and released five years of test scores to me going back to 1996 approx.

I took the list and made copies of it all and started cruising around town giving copies to beat cops I saw working the streets and told them, this is how Salinas is
8/

fucking you guys over.

Then I got with my brother-in-law Bob Eggers who had been screwed over in a promotion from Sgt to Lt. by Salinas (Eggers wasnt political in the 90's but after I nailed Salinas that changed because the Caballero's wanted to appease me) and he and I
9/

along with a couple other cops filled in the blanks on promotions because each INDIVIDUAL cop was told their score but no one else (prior to my getting the scores and certification sheets).

Cassie McSorley, as one example, was PLACED into A band by herself as an 88 B band
10/

score with the 87 left in B band. A band gets certified and McSorley (the useless and lazy but politically expedient) was promoted to Lt.

Why does it matter?

The @CityofSalinas violated its own contract with the SPOA and SPMA, knowingly.

The battle was on. I had been
11/

chatting with a whiny @MontereyHerald reporter (@JoeLivernois) and so I emailed him the story. Joe emails me back and said he would never write a negative story about McSorley because "he loves her" and thinks "she walks on water".

Huh?

And the @VoicesofBay has the gall
12/

as a semi-retired loser living in luxury in a $1.5 million dollar peninsula home to say his backs his work on his REPUTATION, NAME, And WORK PRODUCT.

That's rich, @Calkins_Royal.

Meanwhile MoCo is in trouble and these guys played politics - with the news while kissing
14/

Nader Agha's rear end?

The entitlement of this group of "insiders" from press figures to the unscrupulous @bradleyzeve at the @mcweekly to @CASenCaballero who Livernois had the nerve to pump as a possible AG choice for @GavinNewsom.

Comical. And sad.

Who owned cityofsalinas.com, cityofsalinas.org and cityofsalinas.net before the @CityofSalinas?

I did. It's a long story but I registered the domain names as a clever way to call for the firing of a corrupt city manager, Dave Mora.

Salinas sued me and lost.
2/

I sued the @CityofSalinas for violating my First Amendment Rights and won. Salinas then paid me $5,000 for the domain names after spending $50,000 in legal fees - to lose.

@Kelly_McMillin was a beat cop then with his head still suck up his ass.

@JoeLivernois wrote the fucking story. Livernois told me Christine Davi (then a Salinas asst City Attorney later to become @CityofMonterey's actual city attorney) called Livernois to complain about his wording in his article. Livernois then told me Christine Davi was a dolt

It's just like @Kelly_McMillin to endorse a crooked cop who has been investigated on multiple occasions by @PacificGrovePD for Domestic Violence.

Duan confirmed publicly that Joe Moses was one of her sources. I contend that Moses was also a source for Duan while Miller was Jefe.
2/

Disclose the email between yourself and @maryrduan, @Calkins_Royal. It's now or never.

Because Duan is outing her sources. You know who else she outed?

Mark Caldwell. The narc with past IRS liens while he was tasked with the @DEAHQ in San Jose. I know because

after Ricky Cabrera's illegal marijuana grow was discovered in the 800 block of W Market Street a few years ago, I picked up Duan at her house and we drove over to the grow - which was still growing because @SalinasPD officer Gabe Carvey LEFT BEHIND - and we she messaged

When is that lowlife former police chief @Kelly_Mcmillin, the guy who was so bold to publicly attack a terminally obese journalist w/ zero friends & less money, going to endorse Joe Moses like the woman who once worked for the @mcweekly - as a journalist.

McMillin is a pussy.
2/

Oh wait a minute, @Calkins_Royal. Did you see that corrupt former @SalinasPD chief @Kelly_McMillin also endorsed Joe Moses?

Holy shit. How crooked was Kelly, @JohnCarloMurray. It's like I heard you say one time. You work with a lot of people who have no integrity. (sorry J)

REMINDER

Salinas PD's JOE GUNTER wrote a letter for a COCAINE TRAFFICKER Mike Hackett a letter of reference on @CityofSalinas in 2018, the same year @JerryBrownGov pardoned @DavidDr34643165. Another @Kelly_McMillin buddy - a cocaine and heroin addicted narco trafficker.

Thank you for that reminder. Maybe all the journalists who were busy defaming you in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 will be held accountable for this level of deceit they foisted on our community!

@OakMorr did you hear this one? Mary Duan who hat tipped you
2/

for mentioning a story she feverishly pumped, the @PacificGrovePD "three percenter sticker" where she and the @mcweekly crew worked that piece like the (minority) cop was public enemy number one, endorsed a crooked cop.

Fun fact he wasn't. But PG needed to appease the Weekly

And my cop friends and I have been talking about it all day.

Here is what happened for those following along the saga of failed journalism in my small 420,000 total population County.

When Mary Duan tried to bury a story about a cocaine trafficker's appellate loss, I gave the story to @Calkins_Royal. When Duan found out Calkins was on
2/

the story (who told Duan), she calls @Calkins_Royal and rips him a new asshole because for those who don't know Mary Duan is the Big B of MoCo fmr. journalists. A little Chicago transplant with all that implies.

Calkins then calls me and tells me Duan is really pissed at

yours truly, @alllocalpolitic.

This is exactly what I told @Calkins_Royal over the phone:

"So".

Calkins then says "I thought you and Mary were friends"

This is exactly what I told Calkins:

"We were never friends we were friendly. For me it's business Royal, I like you

... honestly, underwhelming ⁦@Calkins_Royal⁩. You guys sent Moses a questionnaire?

Where are the ⁦@PacificGrovePD⁩ reports? Those reports are a public record worth looking at ...

Q&A with Joe Moses – Voices of Monterey Bay voicesofmontereybay.org/2021/12/17/qa-…
2/

This is what MARY DUAN had a conniption fit over?

Perhaps it's time for Mary Duan and @Calkins_Royal to release their emails on the subject - since they took it public but didn't put on any light.

4 Domestic Violence calls?
3/

and yet @Calkins_Royal you believe it is fine for Mary Duan to allude to having read the reports (of course she had, Joe Moses has been her source since Scott Miller was Sheriff. Moses was Sheriff Scott Miller's snitch 😂)
