Friday december 26th 6 00 in the east im Christine Romans along with poppy harlow and pamela brown. Were so glad youre with us this morning. Seven people hauled off in happened cuffs for allegedly making threats against new York City Police officers in the days following the executionstyle murders of two officers. A public wake for one of the officers rafael ramos taking place today ahead of his funeral, which is tomorrow. People across this nation are coming to pay respects to both of the slain officers from the nypd. As a memorial to the pair grows in brooklyn. Lets get to Miguel Marquez, live at the church in officer ramos ramos home borough of queens. This kicks off at a wrenching time for nypd and the city. The wake from 29 p. M. It will be a tough wake for these folks, they have to get through two funerals. All of this as the nypd remains on alert against other attacks. Nypd in mourning and on heightened alert. Any statement suggesting Violence Toward police need to be reported to the police so we can stop future tragedies. Seven people arrested in connection with making threats against nypd. Three arrested for posting threats on social media. Two for making false 911 calls. Two others arrested one for making threats against 104th precinct in queens. The other against the 84th precinct in brooklyn where the two assassinated officers worked. Officer rafael ramos family came to the 84th precinct wednesday, his eldest son justin calling his father a hero. Said im going to miss his loving presence and i cant begin to fathom what life is going to be like without him. The memorial to the two officers growing in proportion to the sorrow felt. Citywide. Police have come sometimes alone, others in groups. All with a show of respect, their grief unmistakeableunmistakable. Its sad its hurting me. Even though im not a Police Officer, but it just it really got to me. To watch this on tv with my family. Like nypd funerals before an enormous display of respect and grief will blanket the glendale section of queens as officers from across the country remember one of their own. Now bow our heads in memory of officer ramos and officer liu. Wenjian lius funeral is still being planned as the city and country grieve. Jetblue airlines is working to fly family members from china and has offered to fly two officers from any Law Enforcement agency along its route to the funerals. Jetblue says it will fly some 600 people from different departments from around the country here. Thousands of dollars has been raced for both families even the new york mets has invited the ramos family to a spring training camp. None of it compares to whats going to happen in queens tomorrow for this funeral. This area of queens will be transformed for the funeral for officer ramos and later for officer liu. Christine in. Miguel lovely gestures but nothing brings those two Police Officers back and their families have a very big hole to grapple with i want to dig deeper on the threats against police with tom fuentes, cnns Law Enforcement analyst and former fbi assistant director and vincent hill a former Police Officer and private investigator. Nice to see both of you. Two more people have been charged with threatening new York Police Department officers including one who called in the very same precinct where the two officers were killed. How is Law Enforcement dealing with these threats . Theres going to be a lot of boastful bad behavior and then there are real threats against Police Officers. Good morning christine. Well the problem is how do they distinguish. When they get word from either a citizen who is reading postings or another measure, you know they have to follow up. They have to look at it. Because you cant take it as idle. The instagram that was put out by brinsley the other day last week turns out to be true. He shoots and kills two Police Officers. So they have to treat anything like its another person intending to kill Police Officers. Tom, nypd says there have been 40 threats to that precinct since the two officers were killed. They deemed about half of them not to be credible. Theyre investigating the other half. 40 actual threats, half of them under investigation do you recall a time when the antipolice sentiment was so high . No i know back in the 70s when i was on the street you know it was a time of extreme disrespect and hatred almost for Police Officers. And the military at the height of the vietnam protests. But i dont recall it being so targeted and so pointed as now, addressing threats against nypd officers. You know Police Officers face these threats every day of the week and in fact a couple of days after ramos and liu were killed we have an officer in tarpon springs, florida, shot and killed in the line of duty who ironically had been a new York City Police officer for more than five years. So these shootings and killings of police go on. The shootings and killings of people who assault the police or point guns at the police, thats going to go on. And i think its going to be a difficult time to turn this around. So vincent, lets talk about how you turn it around. Youre going to see 25,000 people at the funeral today. Youre going to see joe biden, jetblue, making the gesture to support police in Getting Police here. How do you take this moment and change the conversation from antipolice to healing between police and the communities . Well i think one thing we have to do is we have to remember what caused these deaths. I mean if you look at the shooting in berkeley missouri you look at Michael Brown, you look at eric garner they were doing something that caused the police to be there. And the more we ignore that the longer this problem will go on. You say protesters are ignoring that. Theyre ignoring everything that led up to a moment when the gun was discharged. You pulled your weapon before. Correct. The moment that you pulled your weapon out, are you thinking about potential proportionality of your response . What are you thinking about . I dont see color i dont see size i dont see anything. If theres a threat my job is to take care of the threat. When you look at the berkeley missouri shooting two miles from ferguson one thing thats so different about that case is you have a Police Officer responding a Police Officer coming to a place where a gun they say was drawn on the officer. But then the response of the crowd, throwing fireworks into the crowd, into the gas station there is Something Different among these protesters and people in these communities. Well again, it goes back to what i said. We cant ignore what happened. He pulled a gun on an officer. So we can say its racial all we want. But at the end of the day he did something that caused that officer to use deadly force. Tom, i want to ask you something about the difference in that berkeley missouri case. Police very quickly released Surveillance Video from three different sources, three different angles a great deal of transparency, within hours of the policeinvolved shooting. Should that serve as a model as we go forward here. If there can be more information right away . Could that be an important way to change how we respond to these things . Well you would think it would have been important enough to not have the protests and not have what happened after that shooting. You have what appears to be a completely justified shooting. You have the mayor of the city who is black, come out on the scene, and then quickly announce to the public his belief and his findings that the officer was justified in using the force he used. And in spite of all that, and its against an individual who is not a kid with a toy or something, he was with a loaded ninemillimeter pistol. And at the ripe old age of 18 had already previous arrests for armed robbery, weapons charges, other thefts so youre talking about a situation, there will never be a time i dont care if one Million People protest, there will never be a time hopefully in this country, that someone can point a gun at a Police Officer and expect a different outcome. Do you expect that there will be a Chilling Effect in how Police Respond to crime in their communities . Could it be that they are going to be less likely to go to some neighborhoods or rest likely to try to do their job . You look at nypd these are officers that ran into the world trade center. But now you have a situation where those that are appointed to protect us are afraid for their safety then what . Then you have mass chaos on the street because theyre not going to go into these calls. Theyre not going to go and risk their life. Do you think, tom, Chilling Effect in how Police Officers do their job . Are they going to be in the moment of trying to decide pulling their weapon are they going to be thinking about what its going to look like in the papers . I dont think so. They may say that and voice that concern. But i have a feeling that you know doing the right thing and their sense of duty will kick in the training the discipline the years of being a good Law Enforcement officer will kick in for good Law Enforcement officers and theyll do what theyre going to do. I think youre going to see a lot of new kinds of training. I think youre going to see a lot of new kinds of training at Police Academies across the country. Because this is part of the company and part of the relationship between Law Enforcement and the communities no question. Tom fuentes, thank you, vincent hill thank you for coming in. Poppy . An important conversation. Lets turn to the fight against isis in iraq. A christmasday Coalition Air strike killed the isisappointed governor of mosul. He had actually only been in office there for 25 days. He took office after his predecessor was killed by a Coalition Air strike. This as the family of a jordanian pilot taken captive by isis when his plane goes down, pleads for his safe return. The u. S. Disputes claims by isis that it shot that plane down. Barbara starr from the pentagon joins us with the latest. The Jordanian Parliament warning of grave consequences if this pilot is not returned. If his safety is not insured by isis. Jordan the u. S. And the coalition all on the same page on this. They want isis to insure the safety of this young jordanian pilot. What brought him down oversyria, though remains the big question. The coalition very adamantly saying he was not shot down by an isis heatseeking missile. Isis contends they shot the plane down. The coalition not saying what brought the plane down. And thats becoming a bit of a mystery now. What brought this plane down . Was it mechanical trouble . Was there some other issue . The pilot ejected very quickly. There were airborne rescue forces in the region. They saw him go down. But they couldnt get to him in time. Because isis picked him up so quickly. Once he ejected and landed on the ground. We have two serious issues here. The safety of the pilot. Getting him back to jordan. How is that going to happen . No one really has a public solution if you will yet. No word on whether theres going to be a rescue mission that would be highly classified of course. And what brought the plane down . Is there a mechanical problem . Is there some problem with the f16 . That is a workhorse for a number of air forces around the world. A lot of people want to know what brought that plane down. Its interesting barbara, because we heard jordan come out this morning and say yes, this was not shot down by isis and we had the u. S. Yesterday saying our intelligence tells us this was definitely not shot down. Do we have any indication of why they are so sure . Well you know, no is the answer but theres a couple of reasonable things we can look at. Did the pilot perhaps, we dont know make a mayday call back to the command center . Did he say, im, im having engine trouble . Im having mechanical trouble . Do they have some word from the pilot before he went down . They track all of these aircraft in command centers, did they see some technical problem it . Was there a wing man flying nearby . Another aircraft close enough nearby to perhaps see something . All of these are the questions to which right now we have no answers. And we will likely hopefully get more answers in the coming days and hopefully see the pilot released safely. Barbara starr at the pentagon live thank you very much. Lets get to pamela brown for other top stories. Happy holidays 0 to you guys. This is like the Perfect Group of people i want to be sitting with on the day after christmas. On a friday morning. Lets take a look at your headlines on this friday.

Troops will be out of afghanistan by the end of the week. 13 years and 1 trillion after the conflict began. And Online Gaming networks playstation and xbox live are still offline this morning. The networks were targeted in the hack attack on christmas, a group called the lizard squad took credit for the takedown. Both playstation and xbox are run by companies with the hand in streaming the comedy flick, the interview. Get this two people who grabbed cash off the street in hong kong after it fell out of a security van are facing charges this morning. Look at this video right here. As you see, its a frenzied scene on christmas eve, a money transport spilled 2 million worth of bank notes onto the street. People scrambling to pick up the cash. Police had warned that anyone who followed that rule Finders Keepers rule could face charges if they didnt return the money. 29 people who voluntarily returned cash will likely not face charges. All right. Heres a question how many of you plan to watch what you eat this Holiday Season . Well as it turns out, not tomorrow of you. This is according to a new cnn orc poll. When asked about your approach to food this time of year 62 of you said you planned to indulge and eat whatever you want. Thats a big 15point jump from eight years ago when 47 ago chose the eat until you drop approach. And nearly 6 in 10 of you say you have no plans to go on a diet after the holidays. Theyre all liars. They say what theyre going to do and you do it, anyway. I watch what i eat very carefully as i eat it. I watch what i eat, i eat whatever i want. Its the holidays dont worry about it. Thats what its for. Not to say youre going to go on a diet. I feel like when you say it around the holidays it never happens.
