put into the state legislature it talks about this one um officer a jail officer that went in to go check do like a routine search on one of the jail members got stabbed in the neck with a shard of glass and then mcfadden comes in and says oh you shouldn't have been doing that with your other officer you should have given him a bigger heads up
And I'm thinking, I can't even imagine how low the morale must be for these officers to have a sheriff that is not on your side 100% of the time.
And it makes you, you know, play Uber driver for, you know, his friends that want to go to bars.
Like, it's got to be so demoralizing.
It's disgusting.
I don't think so.
This report was not really in any of the big local news stations in Charlotte, surprisingly enough.
They didn't really cover it.
And then during Charlotte's Web, the entire coverage
was on how awful ICE was being.
This is the craziest part.
I did not know this until very recently, but apparently a lot of the local news outlets and news outlets in general employ riders that are paid by immigration non-profits.
I had no idea.
So I was reading these articles thinking, oh, this is some, you know, just normal news report.
No, this person works for like an immigration nonprofit and is writing an anti-ICE article.
I don't know how that's possible.
What do you mean?
Yeah, for the city newspaper.
I went and looked at one article and it was, you know.
It's the Charlotte Observer, right?
