Just days after the announcement that the Manteca Police Officers Association (MPOA) and the Manteca Firefighters Local 1874 endorse Gary Singh for Mayor, a new organization was formed. The "Retired Peace Officers Association in Manteca" (RPOA) was created with a similar acronym, in a blatant and arrogant attempt to mislead and trick the public. This organization was formed "solely for the purpose of endorsing Larson", attempting to counter the actual endorsement from Manteca Police and Fire. The "sketchy looking website out of San Francisco", as Retired Manteca Police Chief Dave Bricker referred to it, was thrown together with minimal effort and published on 9/14/2022. There are no actual active or retired personnel who have served in Manteca amongst their organization. The organization is comprised of a retired peace officer or two that have served elsewhere, and now reside in Manteca. They have no affiliation with any Manteca Police or Fire, neither active nor retired.
It's just plain downright insulting to think that we'd fall for the same type of tactics used by scammers claiming to be Nigerian Royalty wanting to give away their fortune, if only we send them the processing fee of $1,000 first. If this is the type of deceptive behavior we can come to expect from Larson and Aquila should she get elected, may God help us all. |
