Panetta silent on cops – Letters Of Liberty

**“Panetta silent on cops”—Carmel Pine Cone – Aug. 27, 2021**

Thank you for reporting Jimmy Panetta’s views on Afghanistan, though I truly wish he would not mince words about the Salinas police force being defunded of $1.4 million. Salinas is one of the most violent cities in the United States, and the southern border, with the cartels having full control, is flooding the Central Coast with drugs and human sex trafficking. Why is Panetta being silent about all this? His constituents are hurting, and yet he continues to vote 100 percent the way Nancy Pelosi does. What say you Mr. Panetta?
