- At a Wednesday rally in Gastonia, Trump called North Carolina one of the nation’s most dangerous states and blamed Roy Cooper for violence.
- Council members Dimple Ajmera and Malcolm Graham said that characterization conflicted with local facts and crime data.
- CMPD reported 16% lower overall crime in the first half of 2026; violent crime fell 8%, while homicides rose from 39 to 40.
- Statewide, violent, property, financial and drug crime fell 5.8%, 11.9%, 2.1% and 3.2%, respectively, during the first half of 2026.
Every act of violence is one too many, and public safety will always be a top priority for me. But calling Charlotte a 'blood-soaked killing field' simply does not match the facts.— Dimple Ajmera, Charlotte City Council member, said in response to Trump’s characterization of Charlotte as a 'blood-soaked killing field' in North Carolina.
