At vigil, Biden tries to comfort relatives of slain officers

A Baton Rouge man arrested Thursday is accused of firing gunshots into his ex-girlfriend’s house, where seven people were at the time, then following them when they left the home.

The chief of police of Baton Rouge read a poem at this last funeral for the officer killed in Baton Rouge about a policeman’s last stand for inspection before God before being allowed entry into heaven.

He calls the murder of those officers by gunmen an example that police must always be on guard and aware of their surroundings.

The July 17 shooting, which authorities called an “assassination” targeting police, was the latest incident exposing deep racial fissures in American society.

Biden spoke directly to the three officers’ relatives from the stage.

“We are here as one community to share our love for these fallen heroes”, said Lynch. “He targeted his country, and it touched the soul of the entire nation”, Biden said.

“I’m exhausted physically and emotionally”, wrote the 10-year police veteran of the anguish he experienced in the aftermath of a controversial police killing July 5 of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge and the slaughter of five policemen by a vengeful ex-military man in Dallas on July 7.

Long, 29, also wounded three other officers before a SWAT officer gunned him down.

“She told us, ‘The bottom line is that you have to do the hard work, ‘” Wesley said. His 4-month-old child, Mason, will never know his father, but his final post on social media has become part of his legacy and was Jackson’s closing remark.

Gallagher and Deputy Jeremiah Harty joined at least 1,000 law enforcement officials in forming an honor guard for Jackson’s funeral Monday. “Please don’t let hate infect your heart”, he wrote.

One of the three officers injured in the attack, Deputy Nicholas Tullier, remained in critical condition Thursday, WAFB-TV reported, while officers Bruce Simmons and Chad Montgomery were released from the hospital July 21.

Gerald was a former Marine and Army veteran who served three tours in Iraq before joining the police force nine months ago.

“Having support and knowing you’re supported from people all over the place at a time like this, it helps bring that togetherness”, Gallagher said.
