Late this week, probable GOP standard-bearer Donald Trump is slated for a journey to Long Island, New York, where he is set to pay his respects at the vigil of the late New York City Police Officer Jonathan Diller. The fallen officer was tragically killed while performing his duties earlier this week, leaving behind a wife and a son barely a year old. Trump hails from New York and has continually championed the cause of the NYPD; he may well view this grievous event as further evidence of surging crime in cities headed by Democratic leaders, and the risk it places on everyday citizens.

In earlier coverage by the DC Enquirer, the circumstances around Officer Diller's demise were spelled out. Mr. Diller and his partner were in process of carrying out a routine traffic stop on two individuals who were parked at a bus stop. One of the individuals, identified as Guy Rivera, age 34, and who was unlawfully in possession of a firearm, seemingly decided he had no wish to serve further prison time.

Choosing a course of violent resistance, Rivera opened fire on the officers, managing to hit Diller below his protective vest. In response, Diller's partner defended themselves and their comrade by returning fire and hitting Rivera in the back. Upon Rivera's capture, the officers made every effort to save Diller's life, rushing him to Jamaica Hospital. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, Officer Diller tragically succumbed to his injuries.
