Bagpipes, Powerful Processional as Hundreds Mourn NYPD Officer

A flood of blue — decorated, uniformed police officers and city officials, along with family and friends of Mulkeen — stood in salute as a motorcycle procession made its way, lights flashing, to the church Friday morning. Bagpipers followed, marching to the beat of a drum, then solemn silence as a half-dozen officers carried Mulkeen’s flag-draped casket into the building for his final farewell.
