From a local radio station:

EMS Worker Suspended For Comments During Angelou 911 Call
A Forsyth County emergency dispatcher has been suspended with pay after comments he made were recorded during a 911 call connected to Maya Angelou’s death. John Ruckh has worked for Forsyth EMS for 24-years and he was not the telecommunicator who took the call. However he can be heard in the background talking about an interview that Oprah Winfrey had done with the BBC last fall. Ruckh said he was simply talking about the interview where Oprah said racism persists because generations of older white people were raised hating blacks, and that some people disrespect the office of the President, simply because President Obama is black. Ruckh says his comments were in no way meant to be racist, and he was simply discussing the interview.

Why should he complain or explain anything? He gets an extra paid vacation at taxpayer expense for simply being overheard by the thought police.
