Good thing is all this killing isn’t just random. Most of the time, they know each other or one started something w the other. Mind your business and it’s very pretty safe here.
They keep saying crime is down only because cmpd doesn't respond to a good portion of calls. So if they don't show up to the crime scene, and take a report, then according to them there's no crime to report on. A friend of mine was T-boned in a hit and run, and they waited for 4 hours before they realized that cmpd wasn't going to show up, Even after repeated calls, one of those calls being to say that they saw the car that hit them driving on a side street a few hours later.
@tinycyclops I waited four hours for CMPD to respond to a hit and run last Summer. Despite repeated calls they never even bothered to respond.
And people want to say crime is down in Charlotte - not !
I used to live off Ballantyne Commons Parkway...... it started getting crazy b4 I moved & had to call police several times about gunfire. One time I watched 1 car shooting at another pulling out of Ballantyne Meadows onto Ballantyne Commons Parkway. It's ridiculous!
This getting way outta hand Charlotte messed up building all these housing and ppl moving here from who knows where.. praying for their family
