We need more police officers in the beat to keep people safe,” Stein posted on X on Monday morning as they did not post criticism and comments on Monday morning in the murders last month.

He continued: “That’s why my budget requires more funds to hire more trained police officers.

Social media exploded over the weekend after surveillance video released by the Charlotte Regional Transportation System (CATS), showing 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska landed on the Lynx Blue series last month, before a man pulled out a knife and began stabbing Zarutska, at least three times, including at least once.
