Man, this is so sad! I feel so bad for his family, especially his mother! I started crying when I saw her yelling and screaming in grief in the chair. RIP Brave Officer Rivera.

[@mountup716]

Seeing his mom Broke me I am a mom of 4 I CANT imagine the pain she is feeling I pray she finds peace Rest in Paradise Officer Rivera

She was screaming that they killed her too. Heart breaking bc there's NO pain greater than a mother losing a child.

[@kimwalter8753]

I started to cry too. He's in heaven with God and The Angels and that's the only peace. Harp music drives away demons, it's one of the instruments of heaven. Let's hope and pray with all our might we don't lose the other one.

[@jaquelinemoore2998]

And the Democrats Politics, with Defunding the police,especially Coumo and de balsio,with their BS,which assisted in creating this horrible tragedy. My heart ❤💙 is in pain,I respect all law enforcement and I'm a Black Woman who lives in the area where this happened. The entire community is hurting.

[@sopa0314]

@@jaquelinemoore2998 stop your nonsense with the politics, democrats aren't raising these brutes, bad parenting is also to many guns in the hands of citizens if you want to invoke politics that's the Republican's baby guns guns and more guns so stop it they kill policemen in republican towns just as well, people must come together to solve this disease of gun availability.

[@mh7067]

@@sopa0314 the killer was raised by a law enforcement officer, was it really bad parenting? Or was this man emotionally and mentally disturbed?

[@jaquelinemoore2998]

@@sopa0314please,stop with the BS. The adult male who shot these two brave young men,was a criminal ,able to make bail or sometimes released due to the Democrats Politics BS on bail reform and Defunding the police. I live in Harlem, I'm witnessing the disrespect our offices are receiving everday due to Politics in this city, the sad part is, most of the Politicians promoting this,have security and live in nice quite areas. They don't care about us. Joe and Kalama made financial contributions to pay guys like the shooter BAIL.

[@sopa0314]

@@jaquelinemoore2998 I am with you too much police disrespect, I don't know how the put on that uniform in this country and still do that horrible job. but politics on both sides deserve the blame that's all I'm saying. on one side the excuse of the 2nd amendment for everyone and their mother to own a gun is killing us. guns are as easy to get as a pack of gum. this is wrong. secondly we cannot prosecute our way out of these criminals in and out of jail loose on our streets wandering aimlessly. society must change drastically, in the way we have police face an armed to the teeth population this is the outcome we will face time and time again in every town and city in this country. a police officer was just killed in Texas yesterday during a routine traffic stop. they're not defunding the police over there I'm sure. let's put the blame where it lies, too many armed citizens killing each other then turning the same guns on law enforcement.!
