That doesn't bring Officer Sheldon back. What a sad event.
When I was a kid the killing of police was rare. This was in the 60’s through the mid 80’s. What has happened to this country?
Mooresville is close to Lake Norman, some of the most expensive real estate in NC

May You Rest in Peace Sir. Prayers for All. First MVPD Officer killed in line of Duty since 1974.
My Town has been a quiet mid-sized Town. Most of the NASCAR Teams and several NHRA and Indy Car Teams a Headquartered here just 20+ miles North of Charlotte and despite the proximity We don’t get too much SCUMBAG gang stuff up here.
This happened about 5 miles from Our house.
He dindu nuffin.
The Shoot out at the OK Coral was stuff for movies. Today in the cities, it happens just about every day.
Our Democrat ruled cities are no longer America. The urban trash are no longer Americans.
Hi, TC
You are right but at least the POSSCUMBAG won’t be getting 3 hot, cot, medical, court costs, Etc.
It still isn’t right...
We've got generations of fatherless men brought up by welfare moms who never knew a father either.
Why no fathers? Because welfare enabled women to have kids without any need for an employed husband.
What's needed is to stop making it possible for women to have kids without being married to responsible, employed, mature men.
Pee local media, dead perp is 28 YO. No other info available at the moment. PD will be holding a presser this morning at 8:30 AM local time.
What happened? Dindus are off their leash.
I don’t know but as far as LEO’s go these days the MVPD is very Prompt and Courteous unlike some places.
Per local media....
If pensions and bennies costs weren’t so out of control, departments could afford to put two officers in a car after dark.
As you can see from the chart in post 5, when you and I were children, especially in the 70s, on-duty deaths of police officers were generally higher than they are now.
These figures, from a police-advocacy organization, include deaths due to attacks while on duty (shooting and other causes); auto accidents; other accidents; and “duty-related illness,” which is not defined ... heart attacks due to job stress and sedentary habits? Flu caught from a coworker?
It is possible that the number of direct attacks, including shooting, could have increased, while the number of deaths has not increased, because of improvements in trauma care. On the other hand, these are absolute numbers holding relatively constant, while the number of police officers in the country has increased significantly.
In summary, I believe your perception of an increase in killings of police officers does not match the actual incidence. This is also the case with people’s perception of killings BY police officers.
Yes it is spendy properties here. We have a small 3BR, 1.5 Bath no garage and a small yard that rents for $750/month plus bills. We are about 1 mile from Downtown right by the Baseball Field.
I guess Our small, sleepy little Town isn’t anymore...
I agree that it’s not BAD that the murderer took himself out. It just doesn’t make the officer’s death any less terrible.
I’d like to see the chart post BLM.
“Because welfare enabled women to have kids without any need for an employed husband.”
To make matters worse, the system was set up to ENCOURAGE having MORE fatherless kids. All that was needed was the occasional volunteer sperm donor; of which there are ample.
BLM happened.
