| Democrat North Carolina Governor Slammed for Calling for ‘More Cops' After NC Stabbing |
| 2025-09-10 |
| [Breitbart] North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein (D) was criticized for calling for “more cops” in response to a stabbing on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina, that left a Ukrainian refugee dead. In a post on X, Stein expressed that he is “heartbroken” for 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska’s family, after recently released video footage allegedly showed the suspect, Decarlos Brown Jr., stabbing her near the throat on August 22, 2025. “I am heartbroken for the family of Iryna Zarutska, who lost their loved one to this senseless act of violence, and I am appalled by the footage of her murder,” Stein said. “We need more cops on the beat to keep people safe. That’s why my budget calls for more funding to hire more well-trained police officers.” In response to Stein’s post, Rep. Tim Moore (R-NC) and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) were among the many people who pointed out that Brown had been arrested and released roughly 14 times, adding that the “problem isn’t the number of police,” but rather the “soft-on-crime” judges who keep releasing career criminals. “Are you serious? Our law enforcement officers arrested this guy over and over again,” Moore wrote in a post. “This is a matter of having soft-on-crime, leftist judges and magistrates turning these career criminals loose.” “If Governor Stein really cared, he would call to revoke Roy Cooper’s ‘Task Force for Racial Equity’ that kept Zarutska’s killer on the streets,” Cotton wrote in a post. “Even after 14 arrests. The problem isn’t the number of police. It’s Roy Cooper’s pro-criminal policies.” “What’s more police officers going to do when your legal system caught and released the man 14x?” one person wrote. “When he was Attorney General, Governor Stein advocated for soft-on-crime policies under the guise of ‘racial equity,'” Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier (R) wrote in a post. “But the justice system must be blind to race, and prosecutors must hold criminals accountable.” “Wrong,” North Carolina state Rep. John Bell (R) wrote. “He was arrested 14 times. Don’t blame this on Police. They did their job, but Democrat soft-on-crime policies allowed him to walk free and murder Iryna Zarutska. A shameful and preventable tragedy!” Breitbart News reported that Brown was arrested and charged with first-degree murder after Zarutska was stabbed in the throat several times while riding the Charlotte light rail in August. Video footage of the incident, which WBTV News obtained, showed Zarutska boarding the train car and sitting down in front of Brown. Brown appears to take out a pocket knife and stab “Zarutska three times in the throat area.” Brown is then seen walking through the train car, and passengers can be seen starting “to notice” that blood is dripping from Brown Related: Josh Stein 09/09/2025 NC Democrat ''Leaders'' Belatedly Weigh in on Fatal Stabbing, Instantly Make Everything Worse Josh Stein 05/30/2024 BREAKING: Manhattan Jury Finds Former President Guilty in Bookkeeping Case Josh Stein 03/07/2024 Winner In NC Governor Primary DESTROYS The Radical Left |
