Neighbors told CBS 2 these funeral processions have become all too routine in Chicago.
– Hundreds of people stood outside of their homes, businesses, and schools to honor the fallen Chicago Police Officer Aréanah Preston on Wednesday.
A brand new flag hangs on a well-worn blue ribbon, marking a procession route for fallen first responders. Neighbors lined the street that divides the Evergreen Park and Mount Greenwood neighborhoods. Some brought the thin blue line flag along with them. "I was at the wake last night and to see the looks on their faces, and the faces of the officers coming through," said Lee Bielecki, a retired police officer."It's really heartbreaking. It's why I do what I do as a volunteer.
"I think it's saying, it's like very supportive of the loss of life," said Nevaeh White, an eighth grader.
