I.e., Officer Jonathan Diller?
I mean, no doubt his death was tragic and terrible for him and his family.
But he's far from the only officer to be killed in the line of duty this year.
So why is Trump doing the whole dog and pony show for Officer Diller (similar to what he did for Laken Riley)?
I mean, it's not like they did this for Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, of course...

Why would cops think that? Guess we can only hope he doesn't pose by the casket with that big grin and a thumbs up pose.

These families "reach-out" to right-wing nut jobs to exploit their family members and become popular in MAGA land.
Either they don't know their dead child is being exploited, and that makes them ignorant, or they do know their dead child is being exploited, and that makes them absolute monsters.
