Cedar's Take: What the hell happened to the once five star The Park Hotel? The now 3 star dump has a nightly rate of $139.00 just slightly above Days Inn Airport. The shine has worn off of SouthPark much like the once iconic Morrison name. The sad decline of Charlotte continues.
Crack and Meth Addicts ain't no reason for them to be sucking in air and taking up space. While the rest of us are working hard and spend Christmas Eve looking for last minute gifts druggies like this fool need to score some juice. Thanks Charlotte
ReplyDeleteDrugs affect every race including white crackers. It’s not just nugs and beaners. Show some damn respect for the lost family member and the accused. This should be a private southpark matter.
ReplyDeleteLike SouthPark when someone killed Kenny?
ReplyDeleteYour slander of SouthPark may get you summoned by a Harris if it continues. That pie wedge of safety and prosperity is getting smaller and smaller in Charlotte. Add in a few THOUSAND rental units in SP and you gave the recipe for what’s going on now.
ReplyDeleteI was speaking with a cop for the past few years on occasion. It’s interesting to see their mindsets and schemes throughout their career.
ReplyDeleteHe said he was planning his exit and had different coals in the flames. He said he hated his job and was feeling the pain of it. A few years later he said he is staying put and only has 15 years to go. That sounded like a really long time for me. (4000 shifts)
People get used to to their situation like going to jail. It just takes time for the mind to settle in to the circumstances. If someone is still working for the city after all this shit for the past 10 years then they will never leave. It’s just like the senior citizen cop at the airport or in south division. Dedication to service..my ass. God bless all that have come to terms with their lives and how they will live out their days.
Steel Creek has 2 just 2 officers for 64 square miles at 2 am. You call for backup and its 15 mins away and that's if everything rolls the right way
ReplyDeleteU sayin CMPD got problems? No Wai!
ReplyDelete750, truth is most shifts only have 2 functioning officers. Whenever cops get professional photos in front of their patrol car then you know they are quiting within the year. I’ve seen that happen like 10 times.
ReplyDeleteIf we are down 300+ from authorized which hasn’t increased in 8 years and the Charlotte population has increased by nearly 30 percent since the 2010 census aren’t we down more like 400?
ReplyDelete407, oh wow genius. Why don’t you become a Major and fix that? Robinson is working his ass off to find us decent talent. Everyone knows they are going to North Tryon and Freedom at cut loose.
