Grok on Charlotte Crime

This showed up in my "X" timeline:

@grok 

Black individuals, comprising roughly 35% of Charlotte's population, account for approximately 70-80% of arrests for violent crimes (homicide, robbery, aggravated assault) per CMPD data and UCR analyses from sources like Police Scorecard and state reports. Victim demographics align, with over 90% of homicides involving Black victims and offenders, indicating intra-community patterns. Arrest stats proxy offending rates, as clearance rates are comparable across races.

So?

Grok is racist?

Systemic racism is prevalent in Charlotte?

or

"The African American Community has become a culture of violence, embracing criminality and gun play."

I know that's racist.

The idea in Charlotte is that African Americans are disproportionally subjected to arrest and that makes us look bad.

The answer is stop pulling over Black people?

To hear some people tell it:

Traffic stops are bad because they often result in arrest 3 times more often when a Black motorist is stopped than when a white motorist is stopped.

Maybe it is 3 times more likely to end in arrest because Black people are doing 3 times and crime? Nah....

Then we have Mecklenburg County Judges who rule that an expired tag is not probable cause and they toss any related charges.

The idea that arresting Black citizens makes the city look bad is crazy. 

But everyone has a cellphone so when you go to cuff some kid and they resist you have to go hands on and then he starts crying for his momma. This makes CMPD look bad so just don't arrest anyone is the answer?

CP's Take:

I want to see resisting an automatic felony. 

I don't care if the charge is jaywalking or littering the moment you resist it should be a felony. Every time and every one, maybe after a while of waiting for a district court judge on a Monday morning to set bail these idiots will learn that resisting is a bad idea.

I also want Felon with a Gun to be on parity with the Federal statue.

A federal sentence for a felon in possession of a firearm is up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. However, this can be increased to a mandatory minimum of 15 years without parole under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA) if the person has three or more prior convictions for violent felonies or serious drug offenses.

In North Carolina it is only a class "G" felony and the average sentence is only 11 months on a presumptive range on 8-47 months. Most get probation.

That's in end of rant. Y'all have a great weekend.

And one more thing "let's be careful out there."
