Dominique Luzuriaga laid into Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg during the funeral for her late husband, rookie New York City Police officer Jason Rivera, earning a standing ovation from the police officers who filled St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
Luzuriaga, who struggled to hold back tears throughout her remarks, began with the regret that she and her husband of only a few months had argued before he left for work that day.
“You know it’s hard being a cop’s wife sometimes. It is hard being patient when plans were canceled or we would go days without seeing each other or when you had to write a report that would take forever because you had to voucher so many things,” Luzuriaga said, going on to say that what followed that argument was the phone call she hoped no one else ever had to take.
