Trump Calls For Return To ‘Law And Order’ At Wake For Slain NY Police Officer
Former President Donald Trump extended his condolences to the family of a slain police officer and emphasized the need to restore “law and order” on Thursday.
During the wake of NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller, who was tragically killed during a traffic stop in Far Rockaway, Queens, Trump met with the grieving family, including Diller’s widow and 1-year-old son.
Notably, President Joe Biden, along with former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, attended a ritzy fundraiser instead of Diller’s wake.
“What happened is such a sad, sad event. Such a horrible thing, and it’s happening all too often and we’re just not going to let it happen, we just can’t,” Trump said in his brief remarks at the funeral.
Reflecting on his interaction with the family, Trump recounted his conversation with Diller’s widow, Stephanie, and observed the innocence of their young child, highlighting the profound impact of the loss on the family.
Diller was fatally shot during a routine traffic stop. He was struck below his bulletproof vest, and later pronounced dead in the hospital. The suspect, a 34-year-old individual with a history of 21 prior arrests, including serious offenses like first-degree assault and criminal possession of a controlled substance, carried out the attack from the passenger seat of the vehicle.
