President Redford claims his comments are hollow and only for personal gain in hopes of aiding Councilman Winston's campaign for the North Carolina Secretary of Labor.  In the past Councilman Winston never supported CMPD, repeatedly voting against aid to CMPD from more money to equipment and more according to Redford.  During such hard times for Charlotte and CMPD it is shocking for a political figure to virtue signal by claiming support for CMPD when behind closed doors the support is severely lacking.

Redford said the first and foremost concern is checking in with the families of the fallen and wounded soldiers as well as the rest of the officers in Charlotte who have been affected by the events of the week. Redford raises the issue of felons being released and having their cases dropped by today's justice system, the criminal has a long rap sheet that includes two separate charges of a felon in possession. One of the most important lessons we must take from Monday's shooting is that we must enforce law and order. We can't give hardened criminals a slap on the wrist and release them into society to victimize more people.
