Sergeants Union Tells Anti-Police Politicians to Stay Away from Slain NYPD Officer’s Funeral
“Adrienne Adams, Jumaane Williams and their cohorts should stay home. They detest cops and have no appreciation for what they do. They should stay home and not pretend they are grieving...,” SBA president Vincent Vallelong said.
Anti-police politicians should stay away from the funeral of slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller, the Sergeants Benevolent Association warned Wednesday — specifically calling out City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams.
“Adrienne Adams, Jumaane Williams and their cohorts should stay home. They detest cops and have no appreciation for what they do. They should stay home and not pretend they are grieving. They have caused enough heartbreak and destruction,” SBA president Vincent Vallelong told The Post.
His comments echoed a scathing letter sent by the union, which represents sergeants of the NYPD, slamming anti-police council members for posting “hollow” and “untrue” statements of sympathy about 31-year-old Diller’s killing — and saying that they, too, were not wanted at the funeral Saturday.
“They are as morally responsible for PO Diller’s death as the career criminal who pulled the trigger,” the searing letter states, referring to the ex-con who police say gunned down the hero cop — the married dad of a 1-year-old boy — in Queens on Monday.
“The Council members who are vehemently and inexplicably against public safety are responsible for the carnage in the streets and the heartbreak brought about by PO Diller’s completely avoidable death,” the missive states.
