Charlotte Crime Crack-Up: Your Weekly Review of Crime in Charlotte
The Watch Commander's report is the who, what, where and when of crime in Charlotte-Mecklenburg.
It is released nearly every day to the media by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police. It's a compilation of what happened each evening while most of us slept. It's not a full list of all the crime that took occurred here, since it doesn't include everything that took place during the day.
But since a good portion of the armed robberies, shootings and other violent crimes go down at night, it captures a lot of the county's crime.
As part of a new feature on this blog, I'll publish a full, unedited copy of the week's Watch Commander's reports each Friday.
Here's the report. Enjoy. But I warn you. After a few weeks of reading this, you won't go near a convenience store again.

Is it my imagination, or does the notation "BM" appear just a bit more often than demographics would ppredict? But I guess the NAACP would call my remarks racist. Their motto: Address the messenger, not the message. Unless, of course, "BM" stands for "bowel movement."

What all you white people don't understand is the circumstances you put us black people in which is why we have to go commit crime in the first place. If you'd just give us all at least $50,000 a year to live on, we wouldn't need to be goin' out and commitin' all these crimes. Instead ya'll want to keep all the money for yourselves instead of allowing us to sit around, relax and live off of ya. Until we get our right due, nothings gonna change.

I'll assume that was tounge-in-cheek.

Tongue-in-cheek to some....reality to others...Which side of the fence do you believe brothers Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton reside?
