Former President Donald Trump called for ‘law and order’ after attending the wake of a police officer gunned down on the job in New York City.
Trump on Thursday afternoon visited family members of Officer Jonathan Diller, who was shot dead at a traffic stop three days earlier.
‘The police are the greatest people we have. There’s nothing and there’s nobody like them. And this should never happen,’ said Trump at the visitation in Massapequa on Long Island.
‘We have to get back to law and order.
‘We have to do a lot of things differently. This is not working. This is happening too often.’
