Brooklyn mourns slain cops with vigils, blue ribbons
As the shock of the assassination of NYPD Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu continued to hang over the city like a dark cloud, residents and elected officials from all corners of Brooklyn paid tribute to the two slain cops with candlelight vigils, blue ribbons and statements expressing sorrow.
A vigil will be held at 1 p.m. on Tuesday in front of the 66th Precinct at 16th Avenue and 59th Street in Brooklyn, according to Councilmember David Greenfield.
Additionally, Penney Santo, a civic activist in the Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights area, told the Brooklyn Eagle in an email that she is organizing a candlelight vigil to take place on Dec. 26 in front of the 68th Precinct (333 65th St.) starting at 3 p.m.
Santo said the vigil is designed to “mourn the loss and show support for police officers at the 68th Precinct and for all police officers in our country.”
