In his post, City public information response: delay, obfuscate & manipulate, Roch Smith Jr makes the point that I've been pushing for weeks.
GPD is clean but the Information Department or persons in power have secrets they want to hide. So now we end up with Chief Miller in a position of power over his boss. So what does he do:
"So think about it: why are Greensboro Police now in charge of all public information releases? Because the Greensboro Information Department is suspect in Chief Ken Miller's mind and he'll not have it any other way. That's why. Could Greensboro City Manager Denise Turner Roth force Chief Miller to give records control back to the Information Department? Sure, but if she does that he plays the trump card and puts some guilty party or parties behind bars and that person or persons take Denise Turner Roth down with them. This police chief only answers to the city manager on paper. I warned the chief this city ate honest cops, it appears he took me seriously."
It's time to call for that investigation into the possibility that City Councilwoman Marikay Abuzuaiter was framed even if you don't believe she was. Only that will make Greensboro's public records process open and honest.
You've made the case for me Roch.

"he plays the trump card"
So, for your theory to hold up, the Chief is only going to act on knowledge of a crime if he doesn't get his way on policy.
You're wandering off the path on this one, Billy, without a compass.
No Roch, I'm saying the City Manager is being blackmailed by someone who is threatening to roll over on her if she uses her position to keep the chief in line.
Think about it.
Roll over on her for what? What has she done?
I believe she played a hand in the framing of Marikay and that she may have other secrets to hide.
Of course, as long as there is no investigation folks like myself will always be free to speculate. And when one's own personal experiences with police and city government have been with corrupted officials one cannot help but be suspect of all of them.
folks like myself will always be free to speculate that Billy Jones head is up his be-hind.
Pull it out and take a breath of air, spring is near.
I respect Roch's opinion even though I disagree. Anonymous Cowards don't get my respect, especially when the best they can manage is to hurl insults. Perhaps you'd like to arrange a time and place to insult me to my face where others can see who you are.
Why ruin a good surprise?
Okay, that's fine too. I'm no tough guy and I rarely win a fight but I'm not scared of getting my ass beat. Besides, I've gotten used to being stabbed in the back and it from behind as it seems to be SOP for folks here in my hometown of Greensboro, North Carolina.
