Dallas, TX — The Dallas Police Department has revealed funeral details for officers killed in the line of duty in Dallas last week.

Five policemen in Dallas were killed on July 7 as they guarded a crowd of peaceful protests calling attention to excessive police force.

Kiest Blvd., at 10 a.m. Ahead of the funeral, visitation will take place on Tuesday from noon to 9 p.m. at Griffin-Roughton Funeral Home, 1530 N. 45th St. in Corsicana, the Texas city of Thompson's formative years, where he graduated high school.

Funeral services for Michael J. Smith are scheduled for Thursday, July 14. The services are scheduled at noon in the Watermark Church at 7450 LBJ Freeway in Dallas.
