Death of a local officer had a Presidential turnout

[Shawn Kenny]

One of the finest nags head police officer died the morning i left for bouge banks, he was the first ever nags head police officer to lose their life in the line of duty. When he was responding to a break in at 3 in the morning, he pulled a U-turn to go north, when accelerating he hit a bad spot in the road that tends to flood, he hydroplaned and hit a telephone pole. The funeral had a turnout of over 3000 people most of them cops, posting this only because people should realize the affects of hydroplaning and to slow down in the rain.

I have hydroplaned in my car before. I have like summer performance tires and they don't take puddles well.

Thats sad man. Police officer funerals are done right. They got the procession, the pipes and drums playing taps, the birds flying over, the 21 gun salute, and then the last call. I remember watching a video for a fallen gainesville officer and it jerked me pretty good.
