Ken Gill, CEO and founder of CPI Security of Charlotte, N.C., is facing backlash after allegedly racist remarks included in an email to a community organizer.
Jorge Millares, leader of the Queen City Unity organization, sent a mass email to the Charlotte community calling for action in response to George Floyd’s death. Ken Gill was one of the recipients of the email, and responded to Millares on June 5, saying, “Please spend your time in a more productive way. A better use of time, would be to focus on the black on black crime and senseless killing of our young men by other young men.”
