Have the suing renegade cops gone too far finally in their greed? YES! GPD Police Officers Julius Fulmore and Brian James are suing the Rhino Times, Hammer Publications, John and William Hammer, and Jerry Bledsoe for defamation. Defamation of their dubious character no less in the publication of the expose series of articles by Jerry Bledsoe and published in the Rhino Times as "Cops in Black and White" Now this is "Comedy in Black and White"!One really gets a kick out of this coming on the heels of the announcement by Chief Bellemy that not 50 boxes of vital information on the 1979 incident, but only 5 to 10 of newspaper clippings were thrown out in 2001 or 2002. He of course didn't mention that Fulmore was a liar and an instigator and had cost the police department big bucks to investigate these allegations. Nor was it mentioned that the Pulpit Forum members who made these false allegations following Fulmore's lying tip and the NC State NAACP who wrote to the FBI demanding an investigation into this outrage have been made to look like the fools they undoubtedly are. No this wasn't mentioned and we can be sure it will be ignored as if it never happened by the Pulpit Forum and the NAACP with no apologies for what they have done as this is the usual method of operation with these people. And the whole incident will be swept under the rug by the GPD and of course the Greensboro City Council. After all no harm was done except to waste more of the tax payers money, and that certainly is no big deal.
With all the opposition by the status quo seekers and the City Council to the Bledsoe series and the information it has revealed about the GPD I am sure the Hammer Brothers are ecstatic over this opportunity to get these two GPD police officers and many more involved "witnesses" on the witness stand under oath to "tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help me God".
Might this be the beginning of the end? The final chapter in the Bledsoe series "Cops in Black and White"? I am surprised no savvy lawyers stopped these two before they could get to this point. Surely no one believed the Hammers would cave in and pay off without going to court like the City Council is doing.
I just wish it could all be televised. Here Greensboro has been treated to its own little "Peyton Place" drama for over two years and will be deprived of viewing the outcome of all the lying, cheating, sex, drugs, scandal, racial pandering and greed that has taken place within it's city limits. Now that is sad; really, really sad. BB

Well, it looks like our prayers just might have been answered and we finally get to see some of the players responsible for the loss of our former police chief on the witness stand under oath. If this does go to trial, I will be attending court and listening each and every day because this is a show worth watching.
Also, since they are suing the Rhino Times, this will probably be covered in a blow by blow description and make for good reading, unless the judge puts a stop to it. Anyway it is going to be very interesting and the lawsuit will turn out to be a big mistake for the officers suing and many others. Bring all the lies out in the open and cross examine the liars.

Betty, I agree that this will be a show worth watching if it goes to court. Since the medication I must take for pain often keeps me from feeling safe driving I won’t be able to go to court to watch it unfolding. (The really BIG pain is being stuck at home so much!) Anyhow, that’s why I would wish it could be televised. But as you say the Rhino Tmes will keep us posted blow by blow.
Which again brings up another of my wishes: the Rhino should come out several times a week if not daily. The N&R can hardly be considered as a newspaper IMO. The headline story about Billy Yow’s joking comment about all Blacks looking alike and the outraged fuss of Coleman and Alston was so typical of the choices of stories the N&R headlines and not at all the story that should have come out of that commission meeting. The story that should have come out was the call by Billy Yow for a one cent raise in the sales tax. Voters voted in huge bond spending with no way to pay for it but a huge increase in property taxes. Yes they also voted out an increase in sales taxes. But if voters had realized the bonds would pass I think they would have voted otherwise. The sales tax increase would hit everyone and not just home owners in Guilford. I have a feeling many of the bonds that passed were given the votes to go over the top by students and renters who feel they don’t have to pay property taxes and therefore it won’t hit their pocketbooks. Of course they do as their rent is raised to cover these extra expenses but the common view is that they don’t pay these taxes.
This is the story the N&R should have written instead of the race baiting one they concentrated on. As Tony Wilkins said in his blog , “……Greensboro wouldn’t have a race problem if it wasn’t for the N&R.” I tend to agree with Tony.
