The Subject: Dominique Luzuriaga’s eulogy for her husband, Det. Jason Rivera, who was killed on responsibility.
I had tears working down my cheeks as I watched Det. Jason Rivera’s funeral (“A widow’s rage,” Jan. 29).
To all of the district attorneys (particularly New York’s Alvin Bragg) who've embraced felony justice reform, please take your knee off the sufferer’s neck. Cease emboldening the criminals.
If Bragg disagrees with the present legal guidelines on the books, work with the Legislature to have them modified or repealed, however cease taking part in god with our good residents’ lives.
Bragg, do your job, and if you happen to can't, get out of the best way and resign in order that our residents on this nice metropolis can stay with a semblance of feeling secure once more.

Bragg: Did you get the message? The widow of Detective Rivera despatched you a message whereas taking a look at her husbands casket. Should you didn’t get it, then perhaps it’s time so that you can resign.
Bragg is deciding to not prosecute sure minor crime and rewrite the regulation in keeping with his left-wing ideology.
His job is to observe the legal guidelines and prosecute offenders appropriately.

Officer Rivera’s widow’s brave assertion concerning the criminal-coddling DA Bragg was heart-wrenching.
This could be time to once more deal with the actions of the New York Parole Board, which over the previous few years has been accountable for the discharge of among the most heinous cop killers this state has ever seen.
It additionally must be famous it’s the Legislature that makes the legal guidelines they usually’ve been failing miserably through the years, particularly for the reason that Democrats turned the bulk there.
Gov. Hochul can take away the DA if he fails to observe the regulation. She will be able to additionally take away Parole Board members. It’s as much as the voters to take away the legislators who're accountable for lots of the issues all of us face.

I ended every part simply to witness and take part in my very own solution to bear in mind and honor the sacrifice of Rivera.
Simply seeing the unbelievable huge sea of blue made up of hundreds of NYPD officers and New York residents masking the roads and the sidewalks to point out their respect for certainly one of theirs. who sacrificed his life with a view to shield the residents of New York, was heartwarming.
I used to be emotionally spent after listening to Rivera’s brother eulogize his “TaTa.” Then got here his widow, Dominique, to specific her ideas and the emotional upheaval in her life due to Rivera’s homicide. I felt such ache for her and his household.

When the spouse of Detective Rivera eulogized him throughout his funeral mass, she was properly inside her rights to take a verbal swipe at Bragg for his seemingly very lax insurance policies on coping with criminals within the metropolis.
Bragg doesn't appear to know that legal guidelines for criminals have to be made more durable, not relaxed.
Hopefully, Bragg is both going to toughen up or Gov. Hochul will say “bye bye” to him and his insurance policies.
We can't afford the lack of any extra of our women and men in blue from the NYPD, one of the best one in your entire nation.
