RIP Rafael Ramos
The funeral for NYPD Officer Rafael Ramos (shown above with his wife and son) was held this morning.
Over 25,000 police officers from around the country were estimated to be in attendance.
US VP Joe Biden, NY Governor Andrew Cuomo, and NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio all gave eulogies.
Police Commissioner Bill Bratton drew applause when he announced he was appointing Ramos, posthumously and effective Saturday, as honorary department chaplain for the 84th Precinct.
Bratton also promoted both Ramos and Liu to detectives first grade, posthumously, drawing applause again.
