HOUSTON (CNN) — Hillary Clinton will attend funeral services on Friday morning for the Dallas police officer who was killed last week while escorting the Democratic presidential candidate's motorcade.

Clinton will attend the funeral, to be held at 11 a.m. in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, at the request of the officer's mother.

According to the campaign, a Clinton supporter in Texas had been in touch with the local police officer's union, which had been communicating with the officer's mother, who requested Clinton's presence at the memorial.

Senior Cpl. Victor Lozada was killed last Friday after crashing into a barrier along Clinton's motorcade as it traveled through Dallas.

I knew she would, she cares about people.

It will be a shame if she uses this as a advertisement for her campaign. I used to have great respect for her but her dirty side is something I really don't want in my President.

God bless the officer's family!

If the mother asked Hillary to go, then it means that the officer found great pride in serving Hillary. Therefore it is neccessary for Hillary to attend the funeral. I feel so sorry for the family. It was a very sad accident and you are in my prayers. Thank you for caring, Hillary.
