    Sorry for the officers family. When our officers leave home they don’t know if that’ll be the last time they see their family members or not. I am from Georgia and I’ve never seen this before until the day of the funeral. Stay respectful N.C. and keep your respect for the officers they are protecting you. My aunt and uncle lived in Charlotte until their passing in the 80s and 90s. R.I.P Officer Shuping
