Wake and funeral for slain cop in Glendale to shut down local streets

Glendale will become a sea of blue on Friday and Saturday when more than 10,000 police officers are expected to attend the wake and funeral service for slain Officer Rafael Ramos at Christ Tabernacle Church on Myrtle Avenue.

Joining the cops in uniform will be a legion of public officials, including Vice President Joe Biden, who will be attending the funeral on Saturday.

The NYPD is already warning motorists to avoid the neighborhood if possible, due to extensive street closings and no parking zones on both days.

Ramos and his partner, Officer Weijan Liu, were murdered by a deranged gunman while they were on duty, sitting in their patrol car on a Bedford-Stuyvesant Street on Dec. 20. The gunman, who committed suicide after shooting both cops, had indicated he was going to kill police officers.

Vigils have been held across the city and in neighborhoods around Queens in the aftermath of the murders and Mayor de Blasio has called on protests to be postponed until services for both slain officers are complete.

Ramos lived in Brooklyn, but worshipped at Christ Tabernacle Church at 64-34 Myrtle Ave., in Glendale where a wake will be held from 2 to 9 p.m. on Friday. His funeral will be Saturday at 10 a.m.

There will be “No Parking” signs posted in designated areas and the surrounding streets will be subject to closures during those days, police officials have warned.

The following streets will be temporarily closed and or utilized during the viewing and funeral services for both Friday and Saturday.
