Chinese ceremony for NYPD officer

Tens of thousands of uniformed police officers from across the US were expected to attend the funeral on Sunday of the second New York Police Department officer fatally shot with his partner in their patrol car two weeks ago.

Buddhist monks will lead a Chinese ceremony for Officer WenjianLiu, followed by a traditional police ceremony with eulogies led by a chaplain. The funeral follows a somber wake the day before as mourners waited in line, stretching for blocks on a cold, rainy day to pay their respects.

Liu, 32, had served as a policeman for seven years and was married just two months before he was killed with his partner, Officer Rafael Ramos, on Dec20.Ramos' funeral was held a week ago.
