The governor of New York state's visit to the wake of slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller was short-lived.
The New York Post reported:
“Hochul arrived at the Massapequa Funeral Home on Long Island for the second day of viewings around 1:45 p.m.
She was only in the venue for about 10 minutes before she was spotted in a clash with a man in a black suit, video shows.
… Ahead of the weekend services, Sergeants Benevolent Association president Vincent J. Vallelong wrote a scathing letter warning members of the City Council not to show their faces.
“Their presence is more than a distraction. It is a stain on the legacy of a true hero who made the ultimate sacrifice,” Vallelong argued, adding that the leaders should feel “morally responsible” for the officer's killing.”
Diller was shot and killed on March 25th during a routine traffic stop in Queens. The shooting suspect, Guy Rivera, has 21 prior arrests.
Former President Trump attended the slain officer's wake on Thursday, while Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton were at a high-dollar fundraising event – also in New York state.
