KAYE: Welcome back. We are expecting to hear from a family spokesperson. One of the officers who was killed and we are already hearing today from former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who served as mayor from 1994 through 2001. His police department was known for decreasing the crime rate, but was criticized for racial profiling blacks and Latinos. Now here is what he told CNN earlier today about the ambush killing of these two officers.</s>RUDY GIULIANI, FORMER NEW YORK CITY MAYOR: It's an overreaction for people to say that the blood is on the mayor's hands. That is not true. I have lost police officers, other mayors, have lost police officers. It's a very damaging thing to say, exit shouldn't be said. Nor do I think that the police officer should turn their back on them. My heart goes out to Mayor De Blasio and Bill Bratton. On his side, he should admit that some of his policies are wrong. And lack of support came from not understanding policing. This is enormously emotional. It's a horrible act and there is no way to explain the grief and maybe just maybe with all of this anti-police rhetoric are creating a misimpression and they are engaging in propaganda. They all realized that most of our police officers are not just good people, they are heroes.</s>KAYE: Former New York City mayor speaking out to CNN today. A reminder we will take you live to the press conference with the family of one of the police officers killed in New York. We'll take you there as soon it happens. They are expected to speak sometime in Brooklyn coming up here in about 10 minutes or so. We are told this would be a family spokesperson from Rafael Ramos' family, one of the officers who were killed. You can see they are trying to frame up the microphones there as we wait on this. Once again it should be happening about 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Earlier today, we shared with you some of the comments that his 13- year-old son had put out on Facebook. The family is certainly struggling with this understandably. So we will bring that to you coming up here in just about 10 minutes. We'll be right back.
