While the parents of the men arrested — including one who was wounded by a Waka “security team” member — push from below on the question of just what the hell happened back on Februrary 15th in that car stereo parking lot, the NC Department of Justice is ducking inquiries about any role it may have in investigating the matter.

As we pointed out previously, state law does not allow for private armed security to work out of uniform. Then there is the matter of whether whomever who tossed off rounds to defend Waka Flocka are even licensed by the state to operate as private security — at all. And there is still the rather curious fact that the name and occupation of the shooter who wounded Antonio Stukes has not been reported.

Some speculate that is because the security detail was made up of off-duty Atlanta PD — quite the turn of events given Waka’s rap sheet at home, although he would seem to have a problem with cops in jurisdictions outside of Atlanta proper. That is one explanation. Another would be that the security detail and the shooter have ties to CMPD itself — or to private security firms associated with current or former CMPD brass. Frankly, who knows?

And that is problem. The state refuses to confirm or deny any investigation even though emails from CMPD officials indicate they were forwarding concerns about the license status of the detail to the state licensing board, which is a unit of DOJ.

This is not a very complicated matter. Either the security detail which cut loose with multiple shots on a busy Charlotte street was licensed to operate in the state or it was not.
