CORPUS CHRISTI - Two Corpus Christi police officers attended the funeral for a slain New York City police officer in New York on Saturday.

Senior Officer Joseph Garza and Senior Officer Veronica Martinez were among hundreds of law enforcement officials from around the country at New York City Police Officer Rafael Ramos’ funeral.

Ramos and his partner Officer Wenjian Liu were shot to death without warning Dec. 20 while sitting in their patrol car on a Brooklyn street.

Gunman Ismaaiyl Brinsley, before he attacked Ramos and Liu, had referenced in online posts the high-profile killings by white police officers of unarmed black men, specifically Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner on Staten Island. Brinsley, who was black, committed suicide soon after shooting the officers, The Associated Press reported.

Their killings ramped up emotions in the already tense national debate over police conduct. Since the deaths, police in New York say they have arrested seven people accused of threatening officers.

I do wonder did ANY cops spend their own money to come? If so, I applaud them. That is sacrifice.

I copied and pasted it. The news showed them at a bar. I'm not certain if they had started drinking already. It's an odd place to film them for a news item.

Why not; do you think you own them when not on duty. They are public servants not sub-servants. I am sure they wouldn't block streets; loot and commit arson tho.
