Jason Rivera's wife speaking at his eulogy.

Question. She said that "we" are not safe. Not even those in the (department?) And then she mentioned something about the D.A.s new laws and received a standing ovation.

Can someone please provide background for this? Is the D.A.'s new laws good or bad?

BTW, she was amazing.

1. Glad to see you asking this question.

I am also confused.

2. Manhattan DA has a list of crimes he will not prosecute.

Most are minor offenses but resisting arrest is one that has angered the cops.

3. Sounds like we need more info.

Wasn't this policeman ambushed? What is the right protocol for something like that?

4. It is clearly something the DA would prosecute.

It’s the broken windows theory vrs letting the little things go least they escalate to further hostilities between the police and communities they police.

5. She did an amazing job

in delivering his eulogy.

I don't know what the D.A.'s new laws are that she was referring to in her speech.
