| Vice President Biden honored Rafael Ramos at the slain New York police officer's funeral Saturday. He spoke of Ramos and his partner, officer Wenjian Liu, who were shot and killed Dec. 20, ambushed as they sat in their squad car. "Being a cop was not what they did, it was who they were," Biden said. Motioning to a sea of blue, the police seated in the church where the funeral was held, Biden said, "It's who you are." "You all joined for essentially the same reason. There was something about you that made you think that you could help. That you had a duty." That duty, Biden said, was to the rule of law. The sentiment was echoed by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. "We are a nation of laws. We are a state of laws. We are a city of laws," he said. Speaking to the officers in the room, he said, "You represent those laws. No one, no group is above the law. The threats against New York's police are an insult to law-abiding New Yorkers and they will not be tolerated."
