This is the most blatant act of racism I've seen from my home state in many years. This guy is a nut!

I suggest they get a lawyer. Even if there is no civil service protection they have rights.

This guy is not only a nut, he has cost his county MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of dollars.
Hiring or firing on the basis of race -- black OR white -- is extremely illegal.

The fired employees included four of the highest-ranking officers, all of them white. Hill told the newspaper their replacements would be black. No racism or hate crime here...move along...

I wonder how many well meaning socially liberal Repubs voted for this nut case. You know he got all the Dum votes. They are probably cheering this "payback". Talk about unconstitutional.

It's not racism if a Caucasian person didn't do it!

I guess I must have missed this story last night on the MSM since it would be covered as such a open case of racism.

>>Another of the newly elected black officials, Eldrin Bell, called the move illegal and filed for the restraining order granted by the judge. Bell is the new county commission chairman and former Atlanta police chief.
This is the part of this story that got my attention.
In the DeKalb County case here, where the new sheriff was murdered by a conspiracy planned by the old crooked sheriff, there was lots of squirrelly stuff going on, that caused the new sheriff to make many dismissals on taking office. He was then murdered shortly after.
I've heard of nothing like this in Clayton County, that would make moves like this more understandable.
Anyone have any idea what's really going on here? Nutcase new sheriff?
To: Old Mountain man
Well, since "Tara Boulevard" is the most prominent street in Clayton County, the firings were justified.

Whether he has just cause or not, he can cover himself by saying they were fired for incompetence (yeah, sure), but he's going to have a hard time explaining the remark about replacements.

Don't worry, I'm sure Reverend Jackson will help these officers who have had their civil rights violated. I'll be waiting Reverend! NOT!
To: Old Mountain man
I remember when Bill O'Reilly got his shorts in a knot when white students at a Georgia High School decided to have their own all-white prom off of school grounds. He screamed and carried on, wondering why Gov. Perdue wasn't getting involved. I wonder if Ol' Bill will have the nerve to tackle this obviously racist act by this new black Sheriff.

Positioning snipers is the most incredible part of it. He obviously thought that his actions would trigger civil disorder.
