If you are wondering why there are so many cops at Journal Square PATH station, you probably didn’t know that today is the funeral mass for the fallen Jersey City Detective Marc DiNardo. He was shot in the face during the shootout last week and died in the hospital days later.

His wake was attended by at least a thousand people yesterday at McLaughlin Funeral, and as I am typing this, his casket is being transferred to St. Aedan Church on Bergen Avenue for funeral mass.
I heard the procession is long, and the traffic is heavy. Streets are closed and no-parking zones are implemented.
Mourners will continue to Holy Cross Cemetery in North Arlington for the burial.
[UPDATE] Pictures of the Procession this morning:
Police lined up on Bergen Avenue

Slideshow contains photos of procession only. Pictures from St. Aedan Funeral Mass are not included since I didn’t go there.
In this set, you’ll see police departments from across New Jersey (Newark, Passaic to name a few). Procession was led by colors, and pipes and drums. JC Fire Department also marched, as well as Jersey City politicians led by Mayor Jerramiah Healy:
