Dominque Luzuriaga is the widow of the New York detective that was slain during a domestic violence response. She provided a eulogy that included a statement of how the system had failed. This is partly motivated by the policies of the newly elected district attorney, for New York City. Among his initial statements was a declaration that he would be less stringent prosecuting certain crimes.<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

“The system continues to fail us,” Luzuriaga said. “We are not safe anymore. Not even the members of the service.”<\/p>\n

Luzuriaga went on to talk about how her husband was “tired of these laws, especially the ones from the new D.A.”<\/p>\n

The newly elected New York City district attorney, Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg, announced in one of his first days in office that he would be applying less stringent policies for prosecuting certain crimes. He later clarified the controversial memo, saying it gave the “wrong impression.”<\/p>\n

During her speech on Friday, Luzuriaga said she hoped the newly minted D.A. was “watching you speak through me right now.”<\/p>\n

Bragg was in the audience at the time, Fox News has confirmed. In a statement provided via email to Fox News shortly thereafter, he said he is “grieving and praying for Detective Rivera and Officer Mora today and every day.”<\/p>\n

“My thoughts are with their families and the NYPD. Violence against police officers will never be tolerated. My office will vigorously prosecute cases of violence against police and work to prevent senseless acts like this from ever happening again.”<\/p>\n

“I’m sure all of our blue family is tired too,” Luzuriaga continued. “But I promise, we promise, that your death won’t be in vain.”<\/p>\n

Luzuriaga said her husband would have been “so happy” to see the crowds honoring him “through pain and sorrow.”<\/p>\n

Before she stepped down from the podium, she added: “I promise, we promise that your death won’t be in vain. I love you to the end of time. We’ll take the watch from here.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
