A North Carolina sheriff was recorded calling Black employees by derogatory names and saying they should be fired. Several Black officers in leadership positions were later demoted or fired.
On Wednesday, NBC affiliate WECT-TV published the recording allegedly of Sheriff Jody Greene using racist language while referencing Black deputies who he believed are only loyal to the previous sheriff, Lewis Hatcher, who is Black.
