Citizen 704 – Why BTSC Started

I’ve owned my business in Charlotte, NC for over 12 years. During that time, my employees have been robbed and items have been stolen. Our community has also dealt with ongoing safety issues and inconsistent police response.

We experienced a drive-by shooting where three stray bullets entered my business, causing about $4,000 in damage. We never got a proper report filed. One bullet is still lodged in the wall today.
Over the years, 911 calls often resulted in delays or no follow-up, raising serious concerns about accountability and public safety.

I also experienced an incident involving CMPD Officer Afrika Hamilton (#5928), which she violated my rights. She later resigned. Another officer, N. Mack, was also involved and remains employed.

BTSC was created to document these experiences and give a voice to people in Charlotte who feel ignored. This platform is about transparency, accountability, and showing what happens Behind The Scenes. 🧿 God Bless
