In a shocking and tragic incident, NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller was viciously murdered during a routine traffic stop in Queens by a man with a staggering 21 prior arrests. This heartbreaking event serves as yet another painful example of the devastating consequences of the dangerously misguided liberal soft-on-crime policies that have plagued our great nation.
The case is clear-cut: you break the law, you go to jail. It doesn’t get any simpler than that, folks! This ruthless criminal should have been behind bars long before he had the chance to take the life of a dedicated member of law enforcement.
'Get Her Outta Here': NY Governor Reportedly Asked to Leave Wake for Slain NYPD Officer

While this heartbreaking loss should have united the entire city in mourning and solemn reflection, it’s enraging to see the opportunistic Joe Biden capitalizing on the situation. Instead of paying his respects at Officer Diller’s wake, he shamelessly sought to reap $25 million from the city’s liberal elite at a glitzy event at Radio City Music Hall.
Thankfully, former President Donald Trump stood out as a beacon of empathy and respect, honoring Officer Diller with his presence at the wake. Meanwhile, New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s conduct further exacerbated the controversy, as she was unceremoniously asked to leave the wake after a heated confrontation with a mourner. It’s a disgrace that she couldn’t even manage to show basic respect for the fallen officer and his grieving family.
The defiant response from the police officers outside the funeral home, who applauded as Governor Hochul was escorted away, speaks volumes about the widespread disdain for her inexcusable actions. The fact that she was asked to leave by the mourners themselves, with the resounding cry of “Get her outta here,” reflects the deep-seated frustration and anger stemming from her presence at the solemn event.
Additionally, law enforcement organizations, like the Sergeants Benevolent Association, have sent a powerful message by cautioning members of the City Council not to dare to show their faces at the weekend services. This clear rejection of the city’s liberal leadership underscores the urgent need for a return to common-sense policies that prioritize the safety and well-being of the hardworking men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our communities.
As the perpetrator, Guy Riveria, faces charges of first-degree murder of a police officer, it’s crucial that justice is swift and decisive. It’s time for our leaders to take a stand and support the brave officers who risk everything to keep us safe, rather than coddling criminals and ignoring the devastating consequences of their dangerous ideology.
