I am deeply, deeply sorry for your loss. What can you tell me about your son . Well first thing i want to say about my son, i would expect i would hope that the world would just understand that this was not a Police Officer first for me. This was my son. This was my baby. Officer tate Police Officer tate patrolman tate that all came secondary. This is my baby. This is my baby. Thats all i see is my baby. This is my baby. He was just wonderful. And he was doing what he wanted to do and he was happy. I talked to him every week. He texted me every day, whats up dad, let me know he is doing all right. I just want people to understand that take the blue suit off of my baby because this was my baby. I was willing to allow to go into this type of work dangerous, a guy who understood loved everybody, peaceful, passive. Understanding. Wouldnt hurt anybody. What is it about him what is it about him, ronald that wanted to serve so much . I mean he was so young. He had just graduated from the Police Academy 11 months ago. What is it about him that wanted to give back to his community . Well ever since he was small, he loved police cars and the lights and the flashing lights and they stopped with the push cars and cars that go by themselves and motors to them got in those types car that he could ride and he was fascinated. Now, he went to southwest Mississippi Community college and he got a he grant waited after two years with a certificate in automotive. He was manager at Oreillys Auto Parts as a young man, 19 or 20 and he went to auto zone as manager. So then he says dad, you know what i want to be a Police Officer. And he had this enthusiasm and this fire in his soul. And i knew he meant that after paying all this money for automotive i said this guy wants to be a police. I know that you also have a daughter his sister. And you have said that she is absolutely devastated. And that he was really a protector to her, that he looked out for his sister. Oh yeah. Yesterday evening, before this all happened me and her, she and i was on the phone and this is exactly was her exact words, dad, you know hes my protector. He is my protection. We talked about him for about an hour cause she was on her way to her moms house for labeled, i mean moms mothers day answered wasnt able to go cause he had to work. And we just talked about him. And they they 11 months apart, so it was almost growing up as twins. They they were always able to play with themselves without other people. They were so close that they you know they just grew up like that and they was always like that and so this devastated her. And i talked to her today. And i thought she was a little better because she was there, she got to the hospital and found out and he was still in the room and she touched his face and she said you know, dad, i touched his face and it was cold. She said but im like you, im still waiting on a phone call saying this is just all a mistake. Yeah. That our wonderful Family Member had been sacrificed like this. But sir, what what would you what do you want people to remember about your son and to do in his memory to do in his honor . Well you know this whole thing about, you know this notion that all police are out to get people or they are bad, my son doesnt see color. He had so many friends from the time he was in kindergarten military for over ten years of his life he grew up in germany for five years. And we just didnt have color barriers. We didnt have all this animosity between racism. We didnt have my son didnt see that he didnt have time for that. He was just mellow and laid back and didnt want to get into that. And so he was a guy who was willing to put the risk out there, put his life out there at risk and he really knew the risks and but he thought, i think my son just thought, you know people are generally good. And thats just the way he was. He thought people are generally good people. So lets treat them all with dignity and he was a laid back quiet guy who i just im trying to come to grips. I think you said it well. Lets treat them all with dignity. Ronald tate, i am so extraordinaryily sorry for your loss sir. May you find comfort in the memories that you had with him. Thank you for sharing a little bit about your son bus today. Thank you for letting me to that. I appreciate it. God bless.

So you can breathe and sleep. Add breathe right to your allergy medicine. Shut your mouth and sleep right. Breathe right and look for the calming scent of breathe right lavender in the sleep aisle. Caring for someone with alzheimers means i am a lot of things. I am her best friend. I am her ally. So i asked about adding oncedaily namenda xr to her Current Treatment for moderate to severe alzheimers. It works differently. When added to another alzheimers treatment, it may improve overall function and cognition. And may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. Vo namenda xr doesnt change how the disease progresses. It shouldnt be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, or whos had a bad reaction to namenda xr or its ingredients. Before starting treatment, tell their doctor if they have or ever had, a seizure disorder, difficulty passing urine liver, kidney or bladder problems, and about medications theyre taking. Certain medications, changes in diet, or medical conditions may affect the amount of namenda xr in the body and may increase side effects. The most common side effects are headache, diarrhea and dizziness. All my life, shes been there for me. Now i am giving back. Ask their doctor about oncedaily namenda xr and learn about a free trial offer at namendaxr. Com. Switch to tmobile and never settle. We are continuing to follow this story of two young Police Officers gunned down brutally murdered last night in hattiesburg, mississippi. Joining me on the phone, the mayor of hattiesburg, johnny due pre. Thank you for being with me mayor. I appreciate it youre welcome, poppy. We knew three people were arrested in connection with this. Now we understand a fourth suspect has been arrested. What can you tell us about this person . Thats correct, pop pill. Earlier today, we had curtis and marvin banks both charged with two counts of capital murder and Joanne Calloway with two counts of capital murder and now, as i said earlier, that the mbi was continuing their investigation, continuing their interrogation of witnesses and processing evidence and so in that process, core kneenelius clark has been arrested and charged with obstruction of justice. What can you tell us what happened we are watching video right now of one of the suspects saying he did not do it he did not do it. The justice process will play out. What can you tell us about what you know about how these officers were murdered . All we really have been told is it was a traffic stop around 8 30 at night. And it probably was a traffic stop. There was a call there was a traffic stop and officer deen apparently saw something that triggered his request for backup. So officer tate arrived on the scene after his request for backup and based on that you have the ensuing pistol or weapon being drawn by bun of the banks, mr. Martin banks, and he actually shot the other the two officers. Do we know if the officers if either of the officers fired any shots . I dont i dont know that poppy that would be something that would you have to ask Mississippi Bureau of investigation. Those are the kinds of things they are keeping pretty close under wraps. I will tell that you when this is over we will have a our own internal as we have investigation, where we can actually look at these and see how we can use this as a training tool, a training model so that this doesnt happen to us again, keep it from happening again. I know that this is the first time in 30 years that an officer in hattiesburg has been killed in the line of duty. What has this done to your community . Well you know poppy, it has brought our Community Even closer than what is being prior to this. We always pride ourself on the city, we have a motto, we are close to everybody, even to each other. The Police Department and our First Responders and our citizens have a great relationship. We look at our i heard someone say the other day, one of the analysts i think you have on television said one of the things that you can tell about a community is the rate of solving crimes they have. You look at our rate of solving crimes its pretty good and thats because we have Community Working with us and not against us. We are really high on community policing. And this brought us even closer we actually having a vigil tomorrow at 1 00 to bring the Community Together again so we can pray for this family ensure we do love them and how we will miss just like they will miss the father and the son, you know their spouse. We are community, we are family and we are going to grieve together through. This and quickly, sir, do we know when these two fallen officers will be honored . We are we would have the vigil tomorrow. They are still in jackson at the crime scene analysis or having a forensic procedure done on the bottoms and they have not been released yesterday dd yet. They will be released hopefully tomorrow at 4 00 and we will have an escort that will that will honor the Police Officers taking them to the funeral homes. Mayor dupree so sorry for your loss for your community right now, thank you for talking us to. Appreciate it. Please be in prayer all those listening for this family, this community and these Police Officers we have around this nation. We absolutely will. Thank you, sir. Thank you. The death of these two officers in mississippi comes just days after a new york city Police Officer was shot and killed and was buried. Officer brian moore. He was shot in the line of duty last weekend in queens. On friday a sea of officers from across the country traveled to new york to pay tribute at his memorial service. During the eulogy, new york city Police Department commissioner bill bratton said moores death came at a time of great challenge in this country, where the police are bearing the brunt of loud criticism. He also went on to say, what is lost in the rhetoric is the context of what Police Officers do every day. Here with me retired nypd detective, harry houk. Thanks for joining me. Thank you. You heard from the father of the 25yearold officer gunned down last night in mississippi and he said to me they are not all bad. And he said you could tell how upset he was at the what he believes is the false rhetoric against Police Officers right now answered felt like his son was being put in that box. Right. Yeah you know when this rhetoric thats out there by some of these people pointing the fingers at Police Officers all the time and using just a couple examples and blanketing Police Officers as a problem in this country is just like devastating to the Police Department and the Police Officers families. What is it like for you this was why you are career . This is driving me crazy. We have had an incident in statin island and ferguson where both officers were completely exonerated in those instance bus they are using those as examples of police misconduct. Bev had one bad incident okay North Charleston where a Police Officer actually murdered someone and an incident in baltimore that we still dont know what the evidence is in that case. So i want to bring this up because you brought up ferguson you talked about officer darren bilson who was exonerated was not indicted the same time the department of justice report that found huge problems within the department. I read the report. They found problems. And i think, you know the recommendations in that report im for 100 . Ben im sitting there reading that report and they are going out on the street and talking to people and asking questions of these people about their incidents with the police but they are taking that as gospel and they are putting that in a report. I think the report was a little one sided, myself you know . And probably going to have Something Like that in baltimore also. A different justice department. This is a different attorney general. Oh yeah sure sure, exactly, which i was very very impressed with, by the way, she gave her speech at other day regarding this incident. She spent time with the Police Officers, Loretta Lynch is an attorney general who republicans, Rudy Giuliani including, called exceptional. Im hope when this new report comes out, they will check out the facts as they are. You know i want both sides of the story there are two sides to every story. I have to go but quickly before i do what is the one thing that can be done say here in new york city . I see Police Officers all the time on the subway my way to work, wait home what needs to be done to Bring Community and officers together . A lot more community policing. The problem is theres no money for t and we need to go back to the beat cop. I say that all the time. We into need so people can get to know the Police Officer on the street. Thats the problem. All right . And we dont have that kind of money. Here yo
