President Biden's decision to attend a $25 million fundraiser in Manhattan while the NYPD mourned one of their own 40 miles eastward was denounced by a former FBI special agent who said Biden was also notably absent when two of her then-partners were killed in Broward County, Fla. in 2021.
Retired Special Agent Nicole Parker, who previously said she left the bureau in part over its increased politicization, broke down on Fox News on Thursday as she mourned NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, who was allegedly murdered in Far Rockaway earlier this week by a career criminal.
Diller and his partner initiated a traffic stop on Guy Rivera and Lindy Jones on Monday in the oceanfront neighborhood before being fatally shot. Rivera was charged with murder of a law enforcement officer. Jones faces weapons charges.
"These are human beings. They have families," Parker said. "This beautiful wife is now alone with her 1-year-old son, Officer Diller's 1-year-old son will never know his father on this earth and that is absolutely devastating."
While Biden planned to attend the Radio City fundraiser alongside former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, former President Trump made a point to head to Long Island.
Parker said her "heart [was] pounding out of [her] chest" as she watched coverage of Diller's wake in Massapequa Park, N.Y., in part because it made her recall her own experience losing two colleagues to criminal gunfire while she was with the bureau in Miami.
