@mattvanswol Also Matt, in your reporting, let’s be clear he wasn’t let out of jail. Because he was never taken to jail by Raleigh Police as he was released on scene by citation for carrying two fixed bladed knives.

🚨#BREAKING: A community in Raleigh NC is in TOTAL DISBELIEF after a man who has been arrested a mind-boggling 38 PREVIOUS TIMES WITH OVER 120+ CHARGES...
...has just BEEN LET OUT OF JAIL AGAIN FOR CARRYING A CONCEALED WEAPON!!!
Resident are TERRIFIED and don't know what to do.

@TmthyPatrick @MissDanger_3 @mattvanswol Agreed. Carrying a concealed weapon in NC is a misdemeanor and carries a punishment of 60 days in jail. So even if that sentence is imposed he’s in jail for two months and released.

@MissDanger_3 @mattvanswol Republicans dominate the state legislature
Hard to call NC a blue state

@CedarPosts lol I 40 is a race track, the whole interstate from Haywood Co. to New Hanover Co. Don’t hog that number one lane, get out the way.

@JenAgainDoh @Roadking0222 @SassySouthern2U @RoyCooperNC @NC_Governor Although, IN our great state our judges in the district and superior courtrooms are often times elected by the voters of side county.

Soft on crime. Silent on victims. 200 days for child predators in NC.
This is the North Carolina Roy Cooper and Josh Stein have created!

@Roadking0222 @SassySouthern2U @RoyCooperNC @NC_Governor I’m just curious as to how this falls on Cooper and Stein, when this occurred in a Red county…..a heavy red county. The Republicans are in charge of the legislature, right now and can control punishments for sentencing.

@SassySouthern2U @RoyCooperNC @NC_Governor I sometimes wished I hadn't bought my house in NC...those 2 have ruined this state...MARK ROBINSON should be Governor

Despite countless arrests CMPD couldn’t ID the woman who stabbed a Cotswold Shopping Center customer 2 weeks ago.
Then a week later CMPD released a grainy video and this blurry still image.
The CP enhanced image saw some criticism but eventually nearly two weeks after the attack Waxhaw resident Marvina Butler-Hardy was identified.
Butler-Hardy was then was located in South Carolina crossing into Georgia and then Flagler County Florida where she was arrested.
Her mugshot from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office was released Monday afternoon.

@IEatChickens4U @RossmanWan51488 @MargoinWNC Correct. I get a yearly performance raise every year. So yes I make more money each yes. Please I work a lot of overtime, which contributes to my high end year.

If you're in North Carolina-
-Lowered personal income tax from 7.75% to current 3.99%
-School Choice
-Elimination of military pension tax
-Medicaid Expansion (I'm not for this)
-Corporate tax cuts which caused NC to jump from 44th to top 4 in business c rankings after reforms
-Balanced the budget and has saving reserve/rainy day fund of approximately 3.7 Billion

@MargoinWNC I’m just curious as to what the Republican Party has done to help NC residents, over the last decade in power?!
English
@smith14_d @MargoinWNC Which party controls Wake County? That’s the problem, sadly. They raise property taxes. They raise sales taxes. I sympathize, but your options are to either move or start working on your local government and try to improve things. Moving is easy, but I vote work for it.

North Carolina-
We have to hold all the Republican seats in the NC House and pick up one for a super majority. The target number is 72 republicans, but more is better.
We can't lose any NC Senate seats or we lose the super majority. The target number is 30, but more is better.
Top focus: NC House
HD-32 (Granville/Vance) D+2 was republican, flipped democrat, can flip back
Top focus: NC Senate
Flip Senate District 18 D+0
Hold the rest

@Kristyinblueash @cspan @MarkWarner As a person working in local enforcement, someone on the premises of a search warrant does make them involved. Every person on the scene should be accounted for, even if you’re just standing there doing absolutely nothing.
English
@cspan @MarkWarner So just being present at the scene makes one " involved. "
I guess that means Senator Warner would equate " presence " as " involvement " when Former President Bill Clinton was on Jeffrey Epstein's plane and island more than once, right ? 😉😏
English
Sen. @MarkWarner spars with DNI Gabbard over GA ballot seizure: "Where is the authority for you to involve yourself in a domestic law enforcement activity?"
Gabbard: "I did not participate in a law enforcement activity, nor would I."
Warner: "You were present at the scene."

@L1569Uptown No matter where you are, law enforcement are more than likely going to be reactive to crime. You can’t expect law enforcement to prevent every crime.

She’s outdoing herself in Charlotte:
Matt Van Swol@mattvanswol
🚨#BREAKING: Estella Patterson has officially taken over as Charlotte NC's first black female police chief. During her tenure as police chief in Raleigh NC, violent crime climbed to a 30-year high and NEVER dropped back to the level it was before she took over. She also pushed goal to make 30% of ALL police officers, women. “We’ve taken a 30x30 pledge… we’re hoping this police department will be 30% women… we just have to be intentional about it. Right now we’re only at 10–11%.” Furthermore, in an shocking move... ...1 WEEK BEFORE Estalla was named police chief, her husband, Lance Patterson, MIRACULOUSLY reached an "undisclosed settlement" amount with the city for racial discrimination that had been pending since 2018... WHAT IS GOING ON IN CHARLOTTE NC?!!!!!

@L1569Uptown Unfortunately, this is on the PD and not the hospital. If the PD didn’t send anyone to sit with their suspect then the hospital as noted doesn’t have the authority to detain anyone.

@grok @Michael05717877 @GuntherEagleman But they haven’t included what he’s been charged with yet, because they are more than likely still trying to figure that out ?

In the US legal system, arrests can happen based on probable cause before formal charges are filed—prosecutors then decide on charges, often within 48-72 hours. In Don Lemon's case, reports from NBC, Guardian, and others indicate he was arrested on federal charges like conspiracy to interfere with civil rights, stemming from the Jan 18 protest. His lawyer plans to fight them.
English
🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Former CNN anchor Don Lemon has been ARRESTED by federal agents in Los Angeles in connection with the anti-ICE mob that stormed a church in Minneapolis during a Sunday service.
Terrorizing churchgoers and children is not OK.
