Baton Rouge to continue to mourn officers slain in ambush

The city of Baton Rouge will continue to memorialize officers slain in a shoot-out outside a convenience store just a week ago with funeral services planned Monday for police officer Montrell Jackson.

(FOX)- Just days before he was shot and killed, Jackson posted an emotional Facebook message saying he was “physically and emotionally” tired and expressing how difficult it was to be both a police officer and a black man.

All 1,500 seats were filled in Istrouma Baptist Church Saturday, where a public funeral was held for Baton Rouge sheriff’s deputy Brad Garafola, 45.

On Friday, hundreds turned out for a funeral service for police officers Matthew Gerald, 41.

A multi-agency memorial service for the three officers is planned for Thursday.
