Johnson deserves what he did to David Wray
Having read the articles (Feb. 8 and 9) in regard to City Manager Mitchell Johnson, there should be only one solution. The solution is a relatively simple one and has been used previously: Simply lock City Manager Mitchell Johnson out of his office.
Additionally, the article on Feb. 9 has Robbie Perkins saying of Councilwoman Mary Rakestraw: "She is trying to ‘fire the manager on a trumped-up charge.' "
Ah, sounds familiar. Isn't that the same action that was taken against former police Chief David Wray?

This editorial makes no sense. Will vengence solve anything? Why did David Wray instruct officers to "HIDE" information? That is a question for the courts to decide. Blaming others, in this case the city manager, makes absolutely no sense at all. I heard one man say, "David Wray may not be a racist, but his supporters certainly seem to be".

Hey liberal, why go to court? There is no justice in the courts of Guilford County since certain past and present members of the council are run by the attorney who controls the judges of Guilford County, the sheriff's department, the police department, and even the city council. Why would you think there is any justice in the court's within Guilford County when the Hatfield's control the judges and pay for the corruption and obstruction of justice that breeds within the city and the problem with drugs? Court is not the answer to this problem. If police chief Robert White had exposed this corruption with the black book on 19 "black officers" do you think he would be called a racist or those who work for him? I question why he dumped his dirty work on David Wray to cost him his reputation as a superior police chief beginning to uncover what really was going on and who as I have stated is at the bottom of all of this corruptio within city hall as well as the courts. You see, the only way that Joe Turner can become a superior court judge, is for the Hatfield's to pay his campaign funds illegally from fraud by extortion in their cases as she has over the last twenty four years. That's the only way Joe "let um go" can have a job. If he had been the police officer in uniform, do you think he would have lowered the bond on a cop killer, since a "dirty cop" was used by the Hatfield's at the start of this corruption being exposed by Scott Sanders with dirty cop, Cuthertson in April 2005 to cover up the fraud by extortion crime by Kitty Hatfield using Jack to step in to cover her lesbian ass? Much less, if you use the police to cover up crimes that you state should go before the court's then where and how do you propose to find justice in a dirty judge kissing the ass of the police department to cover up the lies and corruption by the lawyer controlling the courts and all other attorneys in Guilford County and Greensboro who currently sit in council (Mike Barber) and formerly Don Vaughn wanting to run currently for a state senate position when he too is steeped in corruption at the direction of the Hatfield's in my case. I hold the facts and now you need to step back and face the truth. If Judge Turner is put into a superior court judgeship, then your drugs and crimes continue within the City and crime that is out of control since it will be the only way Jack Hatfield involved in this black/white issue can win a case, now that Kitty has abused the process by abuse of the criminal process to vent her hate crimes, revenge for losing in July 2000 to me, and using my son as a hostage currently in controlling the police department, mental health, DSS, the sheriff's department, and the GPD to carry out her crimes of fraud by extortion. Not to worry! Never fear, for I have begun the process of another lengthy federal case for federal violations of the law by conspiracy and the police department, courts, judges involved in financial fraud crimes and kidnapping to hold my son hostage currently, the police department, social services, mental health, and a few of the good ole boy network cops, chief Bellamy included, along with internal affiars detectives James Fulmore and Brian James, and the dirty dozen of attorneys over the last twenty two years of the crimes that none of you are smart enough to follow. You went so far as to mention good ole Jack the ex federal con in Rhino Times 2006, but skipped quickly over the fact that he was the attorney for Turnbull's mistress, prostitute girlfriend as well as Lt. Hinson's. Then it was publicized that attorney Ken Free in May 2005 was leaving the DA's office after he too, was brought into the wrongful unsubstantiated altered falsified warrants used by Jack and Kitty Hatfield to involved Judge Turner. Did he really leave for personal reasons, since he is now Hinson's attorney, or was he messen' around with a certain other assistant prosecutor brought in to sabatoge and corrupt justice, oh pardon the slip Stephanie Reece. Oh what a terrible web we weave when we first start to deceive. The truth will find your sins out. The fraud and corruption and obstruction of a fraud investigation have played themselves out, and I hold the evidence, since my own attorney colluded with the slimy Hatfield's and the judge's reprimanded Kitty what she couldn't do, but did illegally and no one reported her as required by law. That includes your former, past, and present DA's (dumb asses) for those of you who do not know the abbreviation. They too were all used in the Hatfield's conspiracy of the crimes they carry out in the courts illegally using Joe let um go Turner. You can't turn your back on cop killers when you allow yourself to be a part of the corruption by certain dirty cops. Let's see you take a stand on this Mr. Liberalist or you to erase this Mr. Allen Johnson. The appropriate persons are already aware of this corruption blamed on David Wray as the blame has been placed upon all public servants by Kitty and Jack Hatfield while they walk away with the fraud crimes they commit using everyone else. There's nothing racist about anyone who stands behind David Wray and what he was doing to clean up his police department. What the police department needs is a good bleaching and drug testing immediately. I wonder what would turn up. Well, we'll see with the next federal lawsuit that will run your property taxes sky high. Pay backs are a hell.

Wray lied to Johnson about what was going on, justification or not. When he got called out on it he quit. You can't lie to your boss and expect to keep your job, no matter what the circumstances. I highly doubt there were any racist intentions behind the photo book, but Wray handled that and all things Hinson very poorly from a procedural point of view. He tried to push a chancy criminal investigation when he could have disciplined and demoted Hinson all along.
In addition, he alienated the vast majority of street officers and created a chaotic divide among upper level supervisors, across all racial lines. He caused a 'with me or against me' atmosphere which turned yes men against those that stood by their principles. Morale dropped like a rock as he moved to a rotating schedule, with no regard to the upheaval of officers' personal lives due to family and childcare issues. The idea was to put more officers on the street, but the easiest way to accomplish that is to eliminate some of these alphabet soup special units that Wray was so bent on. Put these veteran officers back on patrol where rookies can learn from them while working together with flexibility to react to the call load. Go back to a fixed schedule and simply assign more officers to the 4pm-3am shift when crime is higher. This stuff is not rocket science, but for some reason the simplest solutions are ignored in favor of somebody's pet project or idea.
Racial controversy or police operations, one way or the other the GPD is better off without Wray. Get over it and get used to it.

I love how all the Wray supporters contend that he is such an honest man, but won't answer why he directed officers to "hide" evidence.
Wray supporters seem to be white, male, middle aged or older, believe everything they read in the Rhino Times, and think aliens landed in New Mexico. Maybe they'll move their "Klaverns" to another part of the country now that the city council voted overwhelmingly to keep the city manager.

Hey unbiased, you missed the whole point in my comments. Wray was not the chief when the crimes within the police department involving the abuse of my son were taking place at the direction of the Hatfield's. Your chiefs were Sylvester Daughtry and Robert White. As well, George Holder was the juvenile abuse officer who knows nothing about domestic violence, abuse, bullying, and threats upon a child's life by its own parent. As well, the school resource officers were well aware that my son was abused and bullied by his pedophile father before he went to school each day drug overdosed on Ritalin to shut him up. My son was held in a low life, drug - crack environment since my ex lived off of government welfare by fraud, social services fraud, government fraud using my parents 401ks and then taking their retirement years by keeping all of us in his low life mentality of sporting (not supporting or paying) the highest priced con artist attorney in town that had a sexual orientation problem like he did. You don't won't to put down Wray to me and tell me to get over it, when the chief currently as well as the drug lord cops on the force as well as dirty cops all promoted are part of the ongoing crime that has my son's life as well as that of my parents in danger. How stupid do you think you are? Obviously, Wray was not and is not the problem. The problem is the cover up of Ed Kitchen when he too was removed and Mitch Johnson along with his legal staff involved in the high crimes of drugs and police officers and attorney Jack Hatfield as well as Kitty to cover up and obstruct financial fraud crimes by extortion in this case using your dirty cops as documented by Scott Sanders. There is no justice in a system that is broken by a judge who stoops to the level of the Hatfield's involvement with the police department to carry out their crimes when he has to reduce the $1 million dollar bond to $150,000.00 and violates the very constitutional laws he is to uphold. Bet if he had been in that police uniform, he would have second thoughts. He has to help the criminals, since he is the one who lets them run loose, including a sexual pedophile on the lam within the city limits involved with the Hatfield's. He wouldn't have a job if it weren't for Kitty and her quid pro quo favors of the crimes they commit under color of law. Let me assure you that the actions of those conspirators involved including the law enforcement agencies, the city of Greensboro, its manager, former legal counsel, Linda and drunk driver Blair along with the police chief and his dirty prostitute drug lord cops, DSS, mental health, the two attorneys both past and present on the council involved in colluding with the Hatfield's. You can't have justice or peace within the council until you clean house. They conspire with the Hatfield's since they are a part of the crimes within the police department and the community that they create as well as the violence. If you don't like that, then check the truth out before you say get over it. All are up for first degree murder charges if my son or parents die for the sick heinous crimes they have committed against my family and using my children. Don't tell me what Wray did wrong, the problem was there long before he took over. He had to clean up the chicken poop he was left with. Why hasn't the assault crimes been reported earlier to the DA or to the attorney general in order for the real truth and justice to be had. Looks like its not a racial problem. It is only because a white man took chief. Would it have been a racial problem if Robert White had uncovered the same corruption and drug lording that he knew was going on with Lt. Hinson and many others? Think about that before you throw your stones without any knowledge of what has and is going on within the department that needs to be cleaned up. If your children or family isn't in any danger because of them, then be thankful. My family and son are in danger at the hands of injustice and its involvement with crime on its level. JoeTurner can't rule against a cop killer since he condones crime by cops. Better find out that he has a job because Kitty Hatfield supports him. Now she has to find another fraud source to sport her illegal campaign contributions with the upcoming elections this year. Wait until you see the democrats that convert to republicans with this election. My hope is that Susan Bray makes the judgeship within the superior court since she called it like it was about the homestead project and the past and present DA's doing nothing but covering up that mess. Why don't you look to someone who is honest.

You're right, I missed the point of your comments...because I didn't read them. All I have managed to do with your nearly unreadable and incoherant rant is lightly scan over it. I think I stopped after seeing something about the Hatfields. It doesn't matter though because I didn't need to read any of your posts. I wrote in response to the initial letter, not to your maniacle blathering. If you want me to read your contributions, make an attempt at using complete statements, paragraphs, and an organized thought.
