During a memorial Mass for Officer Jonathan Diller, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch criticized the criminal justice system, stating it had failed Diller and his family. The service, attended by many mourning the loss of the hero cop, highlighted the need for change in a system seen as allowing dangerous individuals to remain free. Tisch expressed the urgency of addressing these failures, arguing that every day they fight for safety impacts public welfare and the lives of officers on duty. Diller was shot during a traffic stop linked to a planned robbery, making the call for reform more poignant.
A broken criminal justice system failed him; it failed Stephanie, it failed [Diller's son] Ryan ... and it failed every New Yorker who valued public safety.
We owe it to Jonathan, his family and every cop who puts on that uniform to right those wrongs and to protect the brave people who do this incredibly dangerous work.
