THE RIGHT THING TO DO – WITH STYLE – AT 10:20 A.M. ET: The style of the president often tells us much about him. From the New York Post:
President-elect Donald Trump called slain NYPD Sgt. Paul Tuozzolo’s widow Thursday morning and personally extended his “condolences” to her on the day that thousands of police officers paid tribute to the fallen Finest at his funeral.
“I’m very sorry I cannot be there with you today. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time,” Trump told the grieving woman, according to a source.
“I want to express my condolences from me and my family.”
Tuozzolo, a married father of two, was shot and killed last week by 35-year-old ex-con Manuel Rosales. Tuozzolo had been responding to a report of a break-in.
A line of officers extended for nearly a mile as a hearse carrying his flag-draped casket made its way to St. Charles & Resurrection Cemetery in East Farmingdale for his interment.
Friends and family described the 19-year veteran as a “family man” and “protector” who was willing to do anything he could to save lives.
COMMENT: This is happening more and more. The murder of police officers is up dramatically. I have to believe it's caused in part by the not-very-subtle war on cops waged by the political left. I think Trump will stop that war.
