Blame Democrats for soaring crime, fallen police officers

It was heartbreaking to watch another family of a fallen NYPD hero back at St. Patrick’s Cathedral yesterday. The mother of slain, 27-year-old Wilbert Mora — posthumously promoted to detective — looked as if she might collapse from grief as she stood beside the casket of her “giant teddy bear” of a youngest child.
Her surviving elder son, Wilson, talked about how, when he was small, his little brother would jump out of bed every morning and rush out to shower “Mommy” with hugs and kisses.
The mother of Mora’s slain partner Jason Rivera, 22, who was farewelled a few days ago with an equally formidable ocean of blue 10 blocks deep on Fifth Avenue, used to wait up for her youngest to come home from a late shift. She couldn’t sleep unless she knew he was safe, after he had kept New York City safe.
These well-loved sons of immigrant families who gave their lives for this city were two of six NYPD officers shot in the first five weeks of this year, a catastrophe that is the inevitable consequence of the orchestrated nationwide anti-cop riots of 2020.
“How many Wilberts? How many Jasons?” Mora’s sister Karina asked the congregation in a eulogy delivered in Spanish.
