Why even anti-cop pols should show their faces at Officer Diller’s funeral to feel NYPD’s pain
NY Post
New York City will bury another murdered police officer on Saturday.
Officer Jonathan Diller will receive a dignified, emotional farewell, attended by thousands of police from all over the country.
After the funeral service, his body will be carried from St. Rose of Lima R.C. Church in Massapequa, the casket draped in the green, white and blue NYPD flag, and placed in the funeral hearse.
The uniformed police pallbearers will remove the flag from the casket, fold it into a crisp military style triangle, and solemnly hand the flag to his widow.
A motorcade of several hundred police motorcycles will lead the procession to the cemetery.
As the motorcade starts to leave the church, the NYPD bagpipers will slowly march with only their drummers beating the slow funeral march, their drums draped in black and purple mourning cloth.
