A Breathtaking Show Of Support For Slain NYPD Officer As Thousands Of Cops Show Up For Funeral

Around 10,000 people showed up in Long Island Saturday for the funeral of slain New York police detective Jonathan Diller. The large crowd of mourners, which included police officers from across the United States and Canada, gathered at St. Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church in Massapequa. N.Y. Diller, a member of the Queens North Community Response Team, was fatally shot by ex-convict Guy Rivera Monday in Far Rockaway. Rivera's gun jammed after he fired the single shot that killed Diller. He has been charged with first-degree murder for the killing of Diller and attempted murder for trying to shoot Sgt. Sasha Rosen, who was on duty at the time of the killing. During the funeral, NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban said Diller was an ambitious officer who took a loaded gun off the streets the day before his death. Caban also announced Diller's posthumous promotion to detective first grade.
