department of justice is opening an investigation into whether the baltimore police department has engaged in a pattern or practice of violations of the constitution or federal law. this investigation will begin immediately and will focus on allegations that baltimore police department officers used excessive force, including deadly force, conduct unlawful searches, seizeureseizures, and arrest and engage in discriminatory policing. >> the announcement comes after the attorney general traveled to baltimore on tuesday and said the city had time to symbolize the mistrust that exists between police and community around the country and after the mayor stephanie rawlings-blake asked for the investigation on wednesday. also comes a week after the state's attorney for baltimore filed criminal charges against six officers involved in the arrest of freddie gray who died after being injured while in police custody. with me here in our studio msnbc's tremaine lee, and also

msnbc's chief legal correspondent ari melber. thank you both for being with us here. good morning let's get right to it ari, we're talking about the scope focusing on the police department, so what will that entail knowing that loretta lynch said her goal is to check the systemic violations of the constitution and federal law? >> she was very clear in this announcement here. this is not about a policy debate this is not about what's best policing although they've had those discussions. this will be a legal investigation into whether the baltimore police department has a pattern and practice of unconstitutional conduct, of violating the civil rights of individuals in this city they have the authority to do this kind of assertive investigation under the '94 violent crime act, and she was very clear in discussing the scope, as well, which is interesting. she mentioned excessive police force, potentially deadly force, suspect arrests, unlawful arrests, which is an issue, of course, in the gray case itself and lastly what she called

discriminatory policing the potential there's racially discriminatory policing. >> overall, the structural systemic, cultural problems there, let's talk about this as a turning point we saw last week, almost a week ago for the charges for the police officers victory rally we saw on saturday might be an extra step the community needs to start their healing, as well. >> time and again when we see the department of justice weighing in these communities, they ultimately want to see some sort of accountability and result. folks have welcomed this investigation, folks have said for a very long time there are problems in this police department and the doj has a jump start, they've already been working with kind of fine tuning the policies and looking around every corner in the department but this will hopefully bring accountability for a long history of abuse. >> seems like the file as far as the doj investigation seems to be getting bigger here. 20 other cities ferguson as

well. how is this going to be different or overall the same umbrella looking into what went wrong here and what needs to be done when it comes to policing practices? >> well, ferguson got a great deal of attention, but that was a very small municipality baltimore is a big city these are big city problems. there are a range of these type of investigations as you've mentioned, but it's very significant. one of the things you see particularly when the media were guilty of sometimes coming into a big problem, covering it then leaving. people on the ground are saying our lives continue. this today is different and significant, because it is an example of a long-term commitment from the federal government and its investigators to work with this police department over the long haul even when the story changes, they are going to be on the ground looking at this. what can happen the chief of the baltimore police was under -- excuse me court ordered supervision when he was head of the oakland police department and he talked about how that meant that twice a week he had to get on the phone and

clear anything and that he was under that microscope. and so you talk about some communities who say they feel like the citizens are living under a microscope and the police aren't accountable. this can, if there are negative findings, this can be a long-term shift. also, i want to make this point, it also can be what the commissioner has said he expects, which is that a clearing of the names of the office because they say police involved violence is down. >> starts to seem like a sense loretta lynch made out in encouraging other departments saying look what we're doing, maybe you can take away what we've learned and apply it to your municipalities, as well. speaking of the police department here we're talking about support from the mayor of baltimore, stephanie rawlings-blake, police commissioner, also the police union, but this is something before the death of freddie gray that the department was plagued with. >> yeah, clear problems but i think one thing that's interesting, this is loretta lynch's first big press conferences. the tone that she said she said

this situation is purely defined by the protests and violence afterwards, but the police officers concerned about healing the city. they are baltimore and that the people help cleaning up the mess, they were baltimore. oftentimes these doj investigations are adversarial relationships between the police and doj, but here loretta lynch is setting a tone we are here you can trust we're going to investigate this fairly but we understand in a bigger sense everyone here has a stake in this. >> we appreciate your time ari melber and trymaine lee. thank you very much, as always. i want to bring you breaking news into our newsroom. the security level has been raised at all military bases in the united states. this information just coming here, defense official insists this is not tied to a specific threat it is a prudent effort and people won't see any real difference. we want to go to jim miklaszewski, joining me live. we're talking about a security baseline from alpha plus to

bravo. break that down for us and what we're going to see. >> defense officials that we're talking to say this is a slight protrudement uptick in the security and threat levels at all u.s. military bases within the continental united states. now, according to the officials, the threat and security level was at alpha plus sort of half way between alpha and bravo. it's been stepped up now to bravo, which means there will probably be some random searches at many of the gates, guarded gates at many of the military installations and it's sort of an alert to everybody to you know, perk up their ears and keep their eyes open. now this appears to be and nobody has told this directly but it appears to be related to the fbi's recent announcement that there are actually more or potentially more isis operatives in the united states than previously thought and could be

based on some intelligence that there may be an attack on a military base somewhere in the united states. but officials again say they have no specific threat to any individual military installation but they've taken this step as a prudent step. just to give you some perspective on that it is not, obviously, the most serious threat level that goes from bravo to charlie to delta, which is all men armed, this bravo alert is in constant force here at the pentagon. we when we walk in in the morning, are often subjected to random searches. again, not on any specific threat but just prudent precautions because, obviously, a place like the pentagon could be a tempting target for a terrorist, but again, no

specific threat prudent precaution that's expected to last at least several days but, you know, no specific threat but it is unusual to have them tick up a threat level like they did today. >> especially several days sometimes we've seen these levels rise a little bit with unknown determination for the length of time but interesting to see what will come out of this. jim miklaszewski thank you so much for that report. i want to bring in evan coleman, nbc terrorism analyst here. thank you for being with us. when you hear about that prudent measure to establish a proactive unpredictable frequency of actions to mitigate threats to an installation and protect personnel and assets what are we talking about here? jim talked about more isis operatives in the united states, maybe an attack within a u.s. military installation. we know that this is not specific but specific enough to raise the threat level. >> yeah i think most likely scenario here is not a coordinated attack by hardened

isis operatives who have been trained in syria or iraq it's more akin to what you saw down in texas, which is you're talking about random individuals who may or may not have ever had contact with isis who may have seen this material on the internet, may have attempted to travel abroad and failed and decided to do something here. again, we've seen a number of different incidents now in canada, here in the u.s. and elsewhere, where such individuals when they haven't had the resources or ability to travel abroad to syria or iraq they've got it in their minds they should do something here. i can tell you from having worked on a number of different home grown terrorism cases there are a variety of individuals that have come up with these kind of plots to you know attack u.s. military bases, focusing on sites where drones are operated out of and what not because they feel at least as of right now the u.s. military is beyond the reach of isis and the only way to really effectively strike at them is strike at them

here in the united states. >> of course this is a concern after the attacks in garland, texas, concern for home grown terror as we saw in the background of those two men, is this stemming from that directly you think, also with mention may be more isis operatives here in the united states as more than previously thought? >> look i think it's fair to point out as far as the information we have now, at least one of the individuals that was responsible for what happened in garland had already come to the attention of the fbi, not just in abstract but very specifically as a potential threat, and simply there are a lot of people out there or significant number of people out there, i should say, that have issued such alarming statements on the internet. keeping track of all them is quite a challenge and as was shown by mr. simpson, it's difficult to know when someone will move beyond simply saying nasty things on the internet and taking real action. diversity of that threat you have to prepare for the

inevitable and i think, again, especially in reflection in garland, it's not surprising that military base commanders have made that decision. >> that's got to be tough, of course, with the debate we saw coming out of texas, debate over free speech and threats. i want to ask you here what struck me this security threat level going up for several days according to jim miklaszewski does that mean there may be an event coming up they are specifically looking at? why wouldn't they say, yes, we are raising the security level undetermined as far as how long the time will be? >> look it's difficult to say because we only know some of the reasoning, but again, comes right in the wake of this garland incident. we also have the anniversary of the u.s. military -- allied victory over the nazis in world war ii so there are a number of different events. plus just the events that are taking place generally in iraq and syria. it's hard to say for sure but i think it's some combination of those different things and there

may be some specific intelligence behind this. may be not specific enough. >> as we've seen in the past diligence in being aware as jim miklaszewski reported random searches at gates and what not. something they'll look out for. we'll continue to follow the story throughout the hour here on msnbc. evan coleman, we thank you for your perspective on that. >> thank you so much. i want to bring you now developing news another round of potentially violent weather in the nation's midsection as forecasters warn they are increasingly worried about tomorrow. starting in just a few hours, parts of colorado kansas oklahoma and texas could see large hail and a tornado outbreak move right through mother's day. most of the area still recovering from earlier wild weather here. texas took quite a hit yesterday and into the night. here's a look at a massive tornado where at least three funnel clouds were seen rotating around the main tornado. these are like sub tornados around the main one. also in denton a lightning

strike ignited a gas well causing it to erupt in flames. crews put it out this morning and no one was injured. joining me now, janet shamlian in an area that just got pounded on wednesday. tough for the people there to just start even cleaning up knowing there's even more of a threat to come. >> reporter: francis, good morning, and that is the concern. this hard hit neighborhood people are kind of salvaging what they can because they know round two is coming. we've got overcast skies right now, but the predictions are for severe weather later today and even worse for tomorrow. i want to show you some video that was taken from a storm shelter when the tornado roared through here on wednesday night. a man opened his shelter and was able to take this video. as you mentioned, dallas also had bad weather last night. in fact, it affected dfw airport where they had flooding. some people got stranded there in terminal e. the next couple of days are

going to be critical. that is an issue especially in oklahoma ou graduation on saturday various schools graduations are scattered throughout the day. this is also a big high school graduation in this region and a lot of those ceremonies are scheduled for the outdoors. and people like the family who lived here are coming back to so what they can salvage from their home that was so devastated. they told me they are going to rebuild and they've put up this sign overnight, oklahoma strong so the family they have three strong children they hid in their storm shelter during the storm. it started to flood, they tried to get out, but debris by that time from the garage here had actually covered the storm shelter, so they were trapped inside screaming, a neighbor from next door came over and got them out. obviously, this is not livable, francis, and like the other people in this neighborhood, they've got friends helping them, they are coming to gather what they can.

this particular family is staying with the wife's parents, so they've got a place to stay but over the next few days with the severe weather, these people are working as fast as they can to clear up the damage from wednesday's storm. >> definitely seeing examples of oklahoma strong. i'm sure that mom will get an extra tight hug this mother's day. i want to bring in bill karins and bill i understand there's a tornado watch this evening, not a warning. >> no, a watch tells people the general vicinity tornados are possible. more throughout the day today, but this watch goes until 5:00 central time includes much of northern texas big cities are lubbock, amarillo new mexico is just barely in it. already have good storms that formed early today. that's where we're expecting a severe weather outbreak today and throughout the day tomorrow. as far as the storms right now, you can see as far as the general motion goes most of the storms are developing along this line right in here and these

are the storms that will later today become tornadic this afternoon. these storms are going to be generally moving to the north and motion to the northeast, so these storms in between lubbock, amarillo later today, and these new developing storms towards childress. when they get up here towards wichita falls and lawton they'll have more spin to work with. after heating of the day, too, that's when we should be talking about tornados. threat this morning is primarily going to be large hail. let me talk about the risk area today, this hasn't changed much throughout the day. about 16 million people at risk. notice the area from lubbock to amarillo is just a sligt risk. the area in red, that's our moderate risk of severe storms where we should see the highest concentration of severe weather and possibility of the strongest tornados and oklahoma city and dallas you could be affected by that and also pretty solid

baseball-sized hail could be common today. the rest of the weekend, saturday, francis, should be the worst weather outbreak all week long, long track tornados then finally, same exact area western oklahoma all the way up into kansas hopefully we'll ahead the big cities and even the little cities but someone's going to get hit the next three days francis, doesn't look like for the most part oklahoma's the target zone. >> four-day grip of that severe weather not letting up. >> 50 two days ago, 11 last night. >> bill thank you very much. developing now, monthly jobs report released shows a gain in bringing the unemployment rate to a seven-year low, but could it cause interest rates to rise? we'll have a report next. new reaction to tom brady reflecting questions on deflategate. >> it's only been 30 hours, i haven't had time to digest it fully. >> are you that slow a reader? >> first comments since that nfl

developing now, job growth rebounds. the monthly jobs report released by the labor department a few hours ago show employers added 223,000 jobs in april, about what was expected and the unemployment rate dipped to 5.4%. that's a seven-year low. all this after revised figures announced today showed employers added a measly 85,000 jobs in march. wall street's reaction to today's numbers, the dow up 261 points nasdaq -- standard and

poor's up and nasdaq higher. joining me you, zachary, thanks for being with us this morning. >> sure. >> let's start with this basically, bottom line your take on the day's numbers. >> the revised march numbers which you just glossed over and should have, which we always do big deal 60,000 jobs less in march than we thought. that would have changed the tenor, this is a perfectly decent report. remember we have an economy of more than 130 million people in the workforce, 320 million population, and you need a lot of jobs every month just to keep things stable. a lot of people are entering the job markets, so i think what this does is removes some of the fear that still out there that the first quarter of this year is really really bad because a lot of the growth numbers between weather, the strike, the l.a. ports made economic activity seem pretty bad in the first quarter and this job report at least suggests you know, we may not be headed for a

really rocky period. >> also the question when the feds are going to do analysts could speed up an interest rate hike by the fed. what do you think they'll do? >> the fed is not making instant decisions based on one month of jobs. they are looking at the pattern over the past year they are also looking at something really, really important in this, which is wage growth right, so one thing that's been going on throughout this entire several year period where you've had a much lower unemployment rate is you've not had wage growth and this report showed very very tepid wage growth if any at all. so you have had some dramatic headlines, mcdonald's, target raising the minimum wage but on the whole people are not getting paid more even as they are getting jobs and the fed is looking at that as much as they are looking at anything else. >> all right thank you, zachary, for breaking down the numbers for us and the take away. we appreciate it. i want to bring you some live images right now here in new york city, long island the funeral for brian moore, the new

and everybody else. >> a lot of people want to know what he'd say, that was him, tom brady making his first comments on the release of the report implicating him and other patriots personnel in the so-called deflategate scandal. his appearance at salem state university was scheduled before the release of the report and was essentially home field advantage for the quarterback, as you can imagine, he got a rock star's welcome there with sports caster jim gray. this morning the league is still weighing disciplinary action over the report's conclusion that it's "more probable than not that two patriots employees deflated balls before the championship and more probable than not tom brady was previously aware." brady denied knowing the balls were deflated. brady's agent has blasted the report as a sting operation which unfairly left out critical pieces of his client's testimony

that would have added much needed context and while it remains to be seen what this will mean for his legacy brady seems to suggest he's not too concerned. >> i certainly care what the people that are close to me think and what they care about. i think also as a public figure you learn not everyone's going to like you either so good bad, indifferent, there's a lot of people that don't like tom brady, and i'm okay with that. >> joining me now is one person who knows what it's like to face off against brady, steve weatherford, his team defeated the patriots in the 2012 super bowl. good to have you with us. >> good to be back how are you? >> i'm doing great. i was there in arizona covering that very game and know that crushing blow, patriots were undefeated and they were supposed to clinch that super bowl. being there, in some sense has this case kind of some satisfaction, some retribution compare? >> not at all.

tom brady's done an incredible job, he's had an incredible career five-time super bowl champion and by no means do i think this should tarnish his legacy and the body of work he's put together. i think if you look at the game that's in question they won by 38 points. >> some say he won that because he cheated, some will argue he got there -- >> he could have been throwing a bowling ball that game they won by 38 points. >> point taken. a lot of reaction to this wells report from current nfl players, retired safety ryan clark tweeted this "we are all generally aware that the patriots push rules and we also knew it was more probable than not they tweet." and "i'm not surprised, they still won and the deflated football didn't help that much it's all about integrity." hall of famer shannon sharp was much more forceful saying the pats punishment should be severe because spygate taught them nothing about adhering to the

rules. do you think this will tarnish them more as an organization? >> maybe more as an organization because of their track history and the opinion that people have of them. bill belichick's an incredible coach, but he's been in the gray area a few times and i have a lot of respect for him, because not only has he been successful he's been consistent in which the way he's been successful and, you know the amount of super bowls that he's won during his tenure speaks volumes of itself, and for him, i think as a head coach, this probably bothers him more than it would a guy like tom brady, which is the person under question. >> speaking to that point here when asked about what this means for his super bowl win, this is what brady had to say. let's listen. >> has this however, detracted from your joy of winning the super bowl? >> absolutely not. because we earn the and achieved everything we got this year as a

team and i'm very proud of that and our fans should be too. >> is the super bowl tainted? >> what do you guys think? neither do i. >> your answer was? >> neither do i. >> i see you nodding your head. >> i'm very surprised to see tom brady kind of sloughing it off and laughing about it a little bit, because there has been no punishment handed down. do i think he should be suspended or punished? not suspended. i think if this is anybody's fault, this is the nfl officials' fault who is responsible for approving the ball putting it into the game because a lot of people don't know that the nfl footballs are issued to the team for the quarterback to be able to break in polish rub down two weeks prior to the game then the nfl officials at that point are charged with approving or disapproving a football so you know i don't think he was doing anything to try to cheat.

i think he was manipulating the ball to what his specifics likes or dislakes are of a football and every nfl quarterback has a preference for how they want the ball based on the way they'd like to throw the ball grip the ball. do i think they got an advantage because the game he's accused of doing this it was cold it was wet, maybe a softer ball is easier to grip but at the same time it might be easier for his teammates to catch the ball but it's also easy for the defensive players to intercept the ball so there's really not that much of an advantage taken by to by having softer inflated footballs. >> from the guy who took him down in the super bowl in 2012 we thank you for that. and we'll see if the suspicion turns out. >> he's still a super bowl champion no matter what. got to take your hat off to him, he's an incredible player softballs or not. >> appreciate it. up next colonel jeff jacobs is next with more breaking news that the security level has been

heroism during the vietnam war, retired army colonel jack jacobs. colonel, nice to have you with us. first, i want to ask you what you make of raising the threat level here and how concerned do you think members of the military and families should be knowing this level has been raised? >> well, it is a concern. i was at a military installation yesterday and typically you ride right through, especially if you have a military i.d. but particularly if you're a visitor or a contractor, somebody who doesn't have a military i.d. or d.o.d., department of defense, sticker on your vehicle, out of the vehicle, open the trunk, search the vehicle, and clearly their view is that the biggest threat is from somebody not necessarily inside who's a regular there, but somebody who might be approaching the gate and might be bringing something, weapons, explosives into the installation, so very much heightened security even yesterday. >> searches and extra personnel,

i'm sure will be seen at those installations. i want to talk about the reason why you're there at the national mall for a very special ceremony today commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory in europe day, marking surrender in world war ii. pretty impressive with historic planes flying from up above, the first time since september 11 2001 tell us a little bit more. >> well kind of interesting you have to be cautiously approach this ceremony. it's beautiful out here the sun's out, people are wearing shorts, and kids in brightly colored t-shirts and the rest of that stuff and you might think there was something of a festive air about all this but there's no hoopla. there's a very somber quality. indeed, they are playing -- you have bag pipes playing "amazing grace" in the background it's a very somber quality about it. and i think it revolves around the notion that we all

recognize, and that is that we achieved victory through the service and sacrifice of a very large number of people the americans, we had more than 1 million causalities, more than 400,000 of whom were killed in action. it was a disaster for the world, more than 65 million people were killed in the second world war. so there's no hoopla no rejoicing, very very somber recognition of what it takes to secure freedom. >> very poignant as we're taking a live look on the other side of your screen there, colonel jacobs of the veterans who served and how they are coming in to mark this day. we thank you for that. again, another live look there at the national mall. 70th anniversary of v.e. day. thank you. now a live look on long island here funeral of police officer brian moore, mass services conducted with tens of thousands of people from all over the country attending this funeral. officer moore died monday after

>> i'm just going to state the obvious here because everybody at the cleveland cavaliers needs to hear this obviously, relationship violence is an enormous problem in this country. 4 million women are abused every year. 15 million kids witness or are abused every year. we spend $4 billion a year on domestic violence related emergency room injuries and this is not a subject to make fun of or to use in a spoof ad and i'm still in shock that the cavaliers were so incredibly clueless about this subject. >> clueless as you call it then there's the, you know just don't get it factor that some people will say. according to espn the disciplinary action, none was taken toward any specific individuals, it's not expected as a result of the video. does it seem like perhaps the sports world here is getting the message or just missing out on it? we've seen the nfl embroiled in its own scandal, but here we are again having the same discussion. >> this is exactly right,

francis, where have these advertising and marketing people been for the last year? did they see the ray rice elevator video? have they paid any attention to the nfl's tremendous efforts to raise awareness about relationship violence? have they listened to president obama and vice president joe biden going on air and on the radio with their campaigns against relationship violence? the no more campaign the super bowl ads, it's not believable. it's not credible that no one in the room creating that ad has been aware of how our country is so focused right now on ending violence against women, relationship violence domestic violence, rape and the thing i think that's most disturbing about this ad is that the cavaliers had a tremendous leadership opportunity. every sports franchise does. because their audience is primarily men and boys and we are never going to end violence against women in this country unless we draw men in unless they become part of the conversation and part of the

solution, and by producing an ad like this the cavaliers are perpetuating the problem and ignoring a great leadership opportunity. and that's the thing that i find most disheartening. >> leslie morgan steiner, domestic violence survivor and author of "crazy love," thank you very much. >> thank you. i want to take you now live to long island here, the typhoonfuneral of nypd officer brian moore. let's listen in as the police is giving the eulogy. >> we will never forget the fallen brothers and sisters, we will never forget brian, and i assure and vow to you this day that we will never forget you. on the side of my church in brooklyn is a plaque dedicated to an nypd lieutenant by the name of joseph petrocinno who is honored and remembered 106 years after his death, and so is his

family when they come to celebrate that day. monday the members of the 105th precinct gathered in the church not too far from here to honor and say good-bye to another one of their brothers police officer tim odamat. it's been a tough week a very tough week. yesterday we gathered in the memorial lobby of heros at police headquarters to uncover the names of those who were taken from us this past year. and they were added to the over 800 names of past members of this department that paid the ultimate sacrifice, and we will always remember them. next year the name of police

officer brian moore will be inscribed on those bronze plaques and on the granite walls of battery park albany and our nation's capitol in washington, d.c.. of albany and our nation's capital in washington d.c. time heals all wounds. please never believe that. as we say in brooklyn it ain't true. it's not true because evidently the person who said it for the very first time never lost anyone that they loved. because if they did, they would know that a part of their heart is taken away. there's an empty spot there. that's why we call it a broken heart. we learned to get on with our lives, learn to do the things we have to do but the wounds are always there. and they'll always be with us.

we are given many gifts from god. one of the many gifts that he gives to us is gift of faith. faith is one of those gifts that sometimes can be very very difficult to understand. sometimes it can be as strong as the marble of this pulpit. sometimes it can be as weak as we all feel this morning. a i gift that can be as strong as we want it to be at times and sometimes as weak as we are called to be because of the fact that things happen in our life. we might ask ourselves where was god last saturday? i can tell you he was in a young

man named brian who accepted a call, a locationvocation, just like we priests have a vocation. brian had a vocation to be a peacemaker, to be a cop, and to be a hero. brian, like so many of his brother and sister officers ran always into the trouble not away from it. and brian is not a hero just because of what happened on saturday. he is a hero along with his partner eric and the millions of past, present, future men and women who have and will dawn the blue uniform and shield of the nypd. god gives us another gift, the gift of memories.

memories help us to keep brian alive, not in a physical way but alive and well in our minds and in our hearts. all who knew him and loved him have a special bond with him. he has left a mark on all those who were close to him. something he said something he did, something personal to you and to him. every time you think of that thing, you'll know brian is there. this coming september, my father will be dead 32 years. still to this day, someone will use a phrase that he used. simple two words. i used to say to him dad, you want something to eat? not really. want something to drink?

not really. want to take a ride somewhere? not really. dad, you want to do anything? not really. and as soon as i hear those two words, i think of him. even better than that are there any italians here today? better than that is going to someone's home on a sunday morning and they're frying meat balls. i immediately think of my grandmother and all times that i spent in her home. memories don't have to be things said or done. sometimes it can be as simple as the smell of an aftershave or taste of food. some people might say what we do here today is waste of time. for those that have no faith or those who's faith is weak sometimes, we know what we do

here is important. we are strengthened in our faith by the promise of jesus. in today's gospel we heard how jesus says to us he has prepared a place for each and every one of us. i believe with the certainty of faith that brian and tim and all those others who served the citizens of new york city are in that place right now. they bask in the warmth and the radiance of god's love. like the angels they soar and touch the face of god. how do we know that? because jesus keeps his promises. how do we know he does? because since we were all kids we prayed to god. we prayed as adults as well. we pray for this --

>> a very emotional day for the new york city police department. also friends and family of fallen officer brian moore who died monday in the line of duty after being shot in the head on saturday. here are images from moments ago in new york on long island as tens of thousands gathered to attend his funeral. taking a look at his casket being brought in. bus loads of officers from around the country have gathered and come to pay respects. knowing the life lost so young at the age of 25. iconic image from his death, his father saluting him in the service. 25-year-old officer brian moore killed in the line of duty and now his funeral laid to rest. the priest who delivered the eulogy said many were asking where was god on the saturday he was killed? his answer he was in the young
