The Inside Scoop
A. J. Blake update
Police Officer A.J. Blake says he has filed another Equal Employment Opportunity Complaint against the city of Greensboro -- this time for retaliation over his recent demotion.
Blake was reinstated by Interim City Manager Bob Morgan last week. Blake was recommended for termination earlier this year after he had been convicted of two counts of assault. Morgan made his decision after Blake has won an appeal and was acquitted.
Blake is back at work – doing a desk job for the time being.
This is Blake’s third time filing such a complaint against the city. He is also one of more than 30 black police officers involved in a discrimination lawsuit against Greensboro.
Meanwhile there is a City Council meeting planned for Friday, where council members had planned to hear from Interim City Manager Bob Morgan about why he reinstated Blake.
But it looks like there may not be enough council members present to hold that meeting. Scoop will let you know where things stand on Friday.
