Capt. Joe Murgo is spokesperson for the EHPD. At NYPD officer's funeral, he spoke for all.

EAST HAVEN, CT — Seven East Haven police officers traveled to New York City Wednesday for the funeral of slain NYPD officer Wilbert Mora as a sign of solidarity for a "brother in blue." A sea of many thousands of police officers from across the region, and the country, gathered on Fifth Avenue to pay their respects during the 27-year-old police officers' funeral at St. Patrick's Cathedral.

In a New York TV news clip where reporters spoke to a handful of mourners, they briefly interviewed one police officer from out-of-town: East Haven Police Department Capt. Joseph M. Murgo.

"When an officer is killed in the line of duty, it's a brother in blue," he told a WPIX reporter. "And it affects every single one of us."

Murgo appears at around 1:10 seconds into the report.

For the second time in less than a week, thousands gathered to pay their respects to the fallen New York Police Department officers.

Jason Rivera, 22, whose funeral was held last Friday, and Wilbert Mora, 27, both died responding to a domestic incident late last month.

Last week, Rivera's funeral also at St. Patrick's Cathedral, began with a rendition of "Amazing Grace."

Police officers from across the region, and the nation, lined Fifth Avenue to pay their respects.

Twice in less than one week.
