Democrats are destroying this country.

The killer deserves the chair.

The stricken family of the NYPD cop, killed in cold blood, posted a heartbreaking message Tuesday online — where photos from happier times showed him at his wedding and holding his baby son.

“Jon, there are no words to describe how devastated we are that you are gone,’’ wrote slain Officer Jonathan Diller’s brother-in-law, Jonathan McAuley, also an NYPD cop.

“You were a good man and a great father whose shoes can never be filled,’’ said the grieving McAuley, who is married to the dead 31-year-old cop’s sister. “I swear to you that I will look after your son as if he were my own.

Suspect accused of killing NYPD officer has 21 prior arrests

A community in Queens, the NYPD, and a young family are all mourning the loss of Officer Jonathan Diller, who was fatally shot during a traffic stop in Queens.

Diller, 31, who lived in Massapequa Park with his wife Stephanie and nearly 1-year-old son, joined the NYPD in February 2021.

Authorities say Diller and another officer were conducting the traffic stop on Mott Avenue at around 5:45 p.m. Monday. The NYPD Critical Response Team has been focusing on cars with fake plates, illegal tints or other quality-of-life issues.

NYPD officials say the officers stopped the vehicle, which had two men inside, because it was parked at a bus stop illegally. When officers asked the individuals to step out of the vehicle, the suspect in the passenger’s seat refused, and pointed a gun at the officers.

Guy Rivera, 34, is accused of shooting Diller, who was struck in the torso, just below his bullet-resistant vest. Officials say Diller’s partner then fired at Rivera, striking him in the back.

Diller was rushed to Jamaica Hospital in critical condition and later died.
