The public going to the city council and to the budgetary committees when they re having they re nailing out the budgets for police raises and firefighters. let s see if we can pack those arenas and give those police officers the proper support in terms of salaries that they deserve as opposed to them working second and third jobs. i wore the uniform, and one of the things when you are a patrol officer, a police officer, you have to work these additional assignments just to make ends meet. and i believe that we should have the same amount of participation at these budgetary hearings, whichever your municipality is, flood those halls and participate in demanding that police officers get compensated properly. everybody wants police officer services, but they want it for a security guard budget. let s talk about something that happened this week, because there have been more protests
He has already contributed $20,000 and he spoke about the need for people to come forward and support both of the families who are grieving right now. here s what he said. you and i can go to bed, our children can go to bed, our parents can go to bed safe because this family and the ramos family sacrificed their son, their husband, the breadwinner of the family. so i m making a contribution specifically in addition to the other contributions that i make of $20,000. reporter: officer liu s widow was there. she was comforted by family members who were also in attendance. these families are being supported by so many organizations that want to step forward and offer shotgun, help in some way. the new york yankees offering to pay for the education of officer ram ramos s two children. as far as officer liu s final
Over another police shooting in missouri that was just two miles from the st. louis suburb of ferguson where michael brown was killed. in this case, though, the shot teenager was armed. there were surveillance videos that appears to show him pointing the gun at the officer. but i m curious, are you concerned that with each new police incident that we re going to continue to see these kinds of outpourings, this kind of reaction and how do you bridge the gap? we have to stop and pause. take a deep breath. and look at each incident as the facts present themselves. we can t have this knee-jerk emotional reaction to everything that happens in reference to police encounters with the public and these types of incidents. it s not rational. it s not fair. and it does our country a disservice for us to have this knee-jerk emotional reaction. let s look at these situations and judge them based on the merit of the particulars involved in each one of these incidents. all right, because we saw in this particular case, there were
and in case you re wondering, that flag you see draped over the coffin is the official flag of the nypd. and the man suspected of killing ramos and his partner was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. right after the shootings, ismaaiyl brinsley posted quotes saying i m putting wings on pigs today. but in a sign of brotherhood and camaraderie between police officers, tomorrow more than 25,000 officers from all over the country will be flooding the church for officer ramos s funeral. let s go live now to alexandra field. she is standing right outside the church where the wake is happening. i m just curious, we know all of these officers are coming in from near and far. have you been able to speak to any of these people that are
Quickly. our foundation, we were following the news reports, and the report that stated from governor cuomo, they visited the liu family, and that even with everything going on right now, one of the things that was bothering them the most is the practical concern, they had just purchased a house recently and how were they going to pay their mortgage? the tunnel to towers foundation already builds homes across the country for catastrophically injured service members, and we give them the house debt-free, free and clear. so we know what kind of peace of mind that gives someone in a tough spot. let s talk about that. a grieving wife, like liu s wife and ramos s family, you want to take off that burden. the last thing they should have to worry about is paying their bills. so what have you seen about the emotional impact it s had on people? well, it gives people a great sense of security. everybody wants to know they re going to have a place to live. and not have to worry about it. and that s what this does. and even though they re getting benefits and that was pointed
There today? reporter: we re staying on this side of the street right now, and you can see why, it s because there are so many hundreds of people, hundreds of officers, family members, community members, friends, relatives and they have waited parentally in line for hours this morning to pay tribute in a very solemn and somber way. some people have said they wanted to come here to see this. maybe even to just see these officers line up and to witness this, to pay tribute in their own way. it s the same thing that we saw at the sidewalk memorial that has grown over the last week in the same spot where officer rafael ramos and officer wenjian liu were assassinated in their patrol car. this is a day that is about both of them, but it is also really about paying final farewell to officer rafael ramos. it is happening here in queens at the home church of officer ramos. he was a part of this church for 14 years. he s described as a officer, a
Condolences to the ramos family and to the liu family. these threats do not surprise me. obviously, in this society, we had these copycat people who want attention, and who know what is the agenda is of other people who are doing these particular threats. certainly misguided and maybe some mentally deficient people as well. so it doesn t surprise me in that this is occurring. what do you think about what some people are saying, that the recent protests that we ve seen in ferguson and elsewhere may have contributed to this rise in threats and the deaths of ramos and liu? what do you say to that? i don t see that there s any real hard and fast evidence to that. saying that that is the case, nor is it any hard and fast evidence that it doesn t occur. what i would like to see going forward is this. i would like to see the type of support and the gatherings of
