liu made. he made the ultimate sacrifice. i think we all knew taking the job that we did that there was always a possibility that we might not come home or might not come home in one piece. and i m sure we ve all had experiences that we ve had people that weren t the most pleasant people to deal with. when you re in this business, you re not dancing with angels. between the three of us, we could trade a number of war stories to corroborate that. being a community policing officer, beat officer which the nypd no longer has beat talks don t forget they lost 7,000 or 8,000 police officers compared to what they had prior to 9/11. just through attrition. and they didn t rehire that amount as those people left. so that s a big problem, too, because there s a manpower issue where in order to have beat officers in those precincts you need to have officers available to do that. aside from now it s no longer
me, you know how i rolled because we were two peas in a pod. we just hoped for the best. you were one of the most beautiful people i know and having you as my brother the funeral for the second officer killed, wenjian liu has not yet been scheduled. it is a sad day. we re covering every angle of the story bringing you throughout the morning as we get closer to the funeral. joined by cnn law enforcement analyst tom fuentes. tom, you and i have been discussing this throughout the day. 25,000 officers, maybe 30,000 police officers from around the country are expected to be there this morning attending ramos rui funeral. you as a former beat officer, what does this mean to so many people coming out this morning?
because of this we had a change the way we do policing and the way we react to it. what we are doing is there are many components from social services to getting ahead with the technology and the hands to the beat officer to help prevent the first shooting and then help prevent retaliatory shootings after that. when you talk about changing ways your department is launching a new initiative to target gang members and using twitter and facebook. how do you think the department will be able to implement this program successfully? one component of the social media is facebook. what we are finding was driving some of the violence is that is how they communicate and rival gangs communicating and facebook is one of them. we can actually take a look at it and predict where we might have the violence and where we might have to look at schools and get the intelligence in the
