A few months ago, when I decided to start up Greensboro's most exciting blog again, I asked Ken Miller about James Hinson and his off duty work. You can read it below.

Greetings!
I hope this email finds you healthy and happy! I have a public records request. I bet you can answer it for me in a relatively quick manner without violating public information laws. I will spell it out so it's easy to follow along. My inquiry will be located below this text and separated (divided) into different parts. The fist part will be labeled A (I do that because it's the first letter in the alphabet) and the second will be labeled B (B is after A). So, below this text will be two sections: A and B. The A section will include background information. Now, I know you don't like dealing with the past (Oh I gotta ask you one thing! Did you know Greensboro had Asian Massage Parlors open that possibly dealt in human trafficking when the Nov 3 1979 Greensboro Massacre took place? I find that fascinating!) The B section will ask specific questions about things that happened during your tenure as a white Greensboro Chief of Police. Ready?
A. James Hinson was promoted to Captain almost a year ago and around that same time GPD Captains become suddenly eligible for off duty work.
B. When was James promoted to Captain? Captains became eligible for off duty work on what date?

You need to distinguished between the types of employement...what is a type I compaired to a type IV. The average citizen has no idea what your talking about...police and fire know the differences and if this is your target reader fine...but expect no results...nobody in those departments gives a damn about you complaining about types of off duty work but the citizens might if you explain the types.
Why not look into the newly promoted assistant chief and ask if he's still doing Type IV empolyment with NCDOT, he's been doing it since he was a Sgt. One year he made more than the Chief...and until a couple of years ago all money earned went to retirement.
"police and fire know the differences and if this is your target reader fine...but expect no results...nobody in those departments gives a damn about you complaining about types of off duty work..."
Yeah, I guess thats why so many of them have been screaming about this since he became Captain. Thanks for commenting
Get, em Glenwood!!
I can tell you're really cashing in all those chips by the comments people are leaving on your most recent posts...I don't hear John Q public screaming...just a bunch of police officers...move on
More people are not screaming because very few view/show up to City Council meetings and the majority of the people that your blog impacts either don't have internet/don't know your site exits. I would not tell you to move on, but to instead, keep moving. You are a man who wants change. ~ Traveling 95 South
Keep up the good work Trouble, non police here, just John Q Public who thinks things are out of whack in Gboro.
Good job.
IS IT TRUE YOU CAN'T HOLD AN ELECTED OFFICE OR WORK FOR THE CITY OF GREENSBORO IF YOUR IQ IS OVER 35?
I BE JOHN Q PUBLIC
I don't understand why you cant get the off-duty work that the officers have performed. If the Rhino can get the salaries off all the employees each year, wouldn't the off-duty work fall under that category????
WHEN YOU BAD MOUTH BEN YOU JUST PROVE YOU LIKE TO WALLOR IN ALL THE SHIT DISHED OUT BY YOUR CITY'S SO CALLED LEADERS WHO ARE SO DUMB THEY WOULD TRY TO PUSH A CHAIN INSTEAD OF PULL IT.
SOME OF OUR LEADERS ARE SO SMART THEY CAN USE A CHAIN FOR A WALKING STICK.
Mr. Holder,
I would like to request that you obtain and publish your employee records for the period of time you worked for the City of Greensboro. Transparency needs to begin with you.
I would also suggest that if you really believe the City is violating the laws concerning the release of personnel information that you hire a lawyer and sue. But then a lawyer would want to be sure that there was an actual case - right?
Proof Mr. Holder, evidence and not innuendo are what matter - but then if your blog was held to the same standards as legal evidence there wouldn't be much point to is - would there?
I don't know who the police officers are who seem to be feeding you information but they should either put-up or shut-up. They are supposed to be trained and qualified in the detection and exposure of crime - evidence - proof - but it seems they are just not up to the job are they?
Put-up or shut-up.
