View on XDiller, 31, was shot during a routine traffic stop in Queens on Monday. Both suspects have long rap sheets and have done previous time in prison.
The killing has spurred a firestorm of criticism of bail reform and soft-on-crime politicians in the state.
When Hochul arrived at the wake of Diller she was asked to leave within 10 minutes of her arrival.
Leading up to the wake, the NYPD Sergeants Benevolent Association President Vincent Vallelong stated that other soft-on-crime NYC politicians were not welcome to come.
“Adrienne Adams, Jumaane Williams and their cohorts should stay home. They detest cops and have no appreciation for what they do. They should stay home and not pretend they are grieving. They have caused enough heartbreak and destruction,” Vallelong said.
