Letter: Where were Pasco police on 4th of July?

I really would like to know where was the police force when my neighborhood sounded like Iraq during a firefight on the Fourth of July? Did they all get the night off? I pay their salaries through my taxes.

The firefighters were busy, but no one said anything about them.

Maybe we the citizens of the city of Pasco should ask for a refund of our taxes from the police department for that night!

Gregory Garcia, Pasco
