The Carolina Panthers have announced the name for a new training facility coming to Charlotte.
WEEK. WE’LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN MORE DETAIL WITH YOUR FULL FORECAST IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. THANK YOU. BRIAN. SEVERAL CIVIL RIGHTS GROUPS ARE SHARING THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT GREENSBORO’S INCOMING POLICE CHIEF KAMRAN AFZAL. MORNING REPORTER ERIN BURNETT, JOINING US LIVE NOW FROM GREENSBORO. AND, ERIN, WHAT DID THESE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE TO SAY? WELL, WE TALKED TO CERTAIN ORGANIZATIONS THAT SHOWED UP AT LAST NIGHT’S MEETING, AND THEY’RE ASKING FOR FULL TRANSPARENCY AND FOR THE CITY TO HIRE A NEW INTERNAL CANDIDATE. WE SPOKE WITH SPECIFICALLY AN ORGANIZATION CALLED JUSTICE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION, AND THEY SAY THEY FEEL LIKE THE COMMUNITY WASN’T FULLY INCLUDED IN THE INITIAL DECISION TO HIRE AFZAL. SOME ARE EVEN QUESTIONING HIS CURRENT LEADERSHIP, AND THEY WANT TO KNOW WHY THE DEPARTMENT DID NOT HIRE AN INTERNAL CANDIDATE TO BEGIN WITH. THEY PRESENTED STATISTICS BASED ON CURRENT LEADERSHIP ROLE IN DAYTON, OHIO, RIGHT NOW, WHERE HE CURRENTLY SERVES AS POLICE CHIEF. THERE, HE SAYS, THEY SAY THAT THEY FOUND SOME DISPARITIES IN TRAFFIC STOPS COMPARED TO HERE IN GREENSBORO. AND THEY ALSO CITED CONCERNS OVER A RECENT SHOOTING INVOLVING A DAYTON POLICE OFFICER THAT STILL REMAINS UNDER INVESTIGATION. I DON’T WANT US TO PUT A NARRATIVE OUT THERE THAT BECAUSE WE DON’T AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT OUR COUNCIL OR OUR CITY STAFF DOES, THAT WE’RE UPSET AND WE’RE ANGRY. THAT’S NOT IT. BUT WE DO ASK FOR TRANSPARENCY. A LOT OF THE CITY MANAGER CHOOSE FOR GREENSBORO TO TAKE SUCH A RISK, RIGHT? THAT’S WHAT I THAT’S WHAT I REALLY DON’T UNDERSTAND. THAT GROUP SAYS THEY PLAN TO MAKE THEIR CASE AGAIN AT THE NEXT GREENSBORO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, AND THIS IS AHEAD OF HIS FIRST DAY, WHICH IS EXPECTED TO BE MAY 13TH. NOW, WE SPOKE WITH THE INCOMING POLICE CHIEF ABOUT HIS PLANS FOR THE CITY AND HOW HE PLANS TO GAIN THE COMMUNITY’S TRUST, SO YOU’LL BE ABLE TO HEAR FROM HIM IN THE NEXT 30 MINUTES. BUT FOR NOW, LIVE IN GREENSBORO. I’M ERIN BURNETT, WXII 12 NEWS. LAST WEEK, GREENSBORO CITY MANAGER TROY DAVIS DEFENDED HIS CHOICE TO SELECT ASSAULT TO LEAD THE DEPARTMENT.
