Thousands expected at funeral for fallen NYPD officer

Josh Einiger

GLENDALE, N.Y. (WABC) -- Thousands of police officers and community members are expected to attend the funeral of a New York City policeman killed with his partner in an ambush shooting.

The funeral Saturday at a Queens church for officer Rafael Ramos comes one week after he and officer Wenjian Liu were killed in their patrol car. Gunman Ismaaiyl Brinsley had posted online about high-profile killings of unarmed black men by police. He killed himself after the shooting.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and Vice President Joe Biden are expected to deliver remarks.
