Mourners clap as upset man confronts NY Gov. Kathy Hochul at wake of slain NYPD cop Jonathan Diller after Democrat lawmaker was 'told off' by the murdered officer's widow

New York Governor Kathy Hochul was seen on camera being applauded as she appeared to be asked to leave the wake for murdered NYPD officer Jonathan Diller on Friday afternoon and was even allegedly told off by the cop's mourning widow.

The governor was scheduled to pay her respects on the second day of viewings for Diller, a New York Police Department officer who was allegedly shot and killed by suspect Guy Rivera, 34, on Monday evening. 

After Hochul arrived at the funeral home around 1.45 pm on Friday, a person from the crowd shouted, 'Get her outta here,' law enforcement sources told the Post.

In a video posted to social media by Fox News, Hochul can seen being confronted by an unknown man outside the Long Island funeral home and given what appears to be a stern talking to, though the conversation isn't audible, as he gesticulates at her. 

Hochul nods, says a few words and turns around to leave, at which point someone looking on can be heard audibly applauding. The video then cuts to her being driven away in a black SUV.

It was even apparently made clear by Diller's widow, Stephanie, that the governor wasn't welcome in an 'animated' conversation during the only ten minutes she spent at the Massapequa Funeral Home , the New York Post reported. 

'[It looked] like she was telling [Hochul] off,' a witness told the Post of Stephanie, 29. 'It didn't look like the widow had a kind word to say.' 

The witness said it was shortly afterward that Hochul departed.

However, another witness claimed that Hochul was not asked to leave and only had a 'short, respectful conversation' with Diller's family. 

'She greeted the family members, then walked out,' the witness said of Hochul's '10 to 15 minute' visit.

'It was a brief respectful visit. She was not asked to leave,' they added.

Hochul has been criticized for her soft-on-crime policies and controversial bail reform laws since Diller's death, as it's been revealed that Rivera had at least 21 prior arrests, including nine felonies.

Rivera was charged on Thursday with first-degree murder of Diller and attempted murder for aiming his gun at a second police officer.

Lindy Jones, 41, who was charged with a number of gun crimes in connection with the shooting, was arrested on a gun charge last spring and had spent time in prison for attempted murder.

Hochul's appearance at the wake comes a day after she directed flags on all state buildings to be flown at half-staff in honor of Diller on March 30, the day of his funeral services. 

'New Yorkers are in mourning over the loss of Officer Jonathan Diller, a heroic young man who dedicated his life to public safety and serving the people,' she said in a statement. 

'Our prayers are with his family, his loved ones and his colleagues in the NYPD as they grieve this tragic and senseless loss.' 

Diller, who was the father of a one-year-old boy, was allegedly shot dead by Rivera during a traffic stop on Monday. The death has sparked a huge response from the police community, with NYPD Commissioner Edward Cavan branding him a 'hero.' 

Officers gathered Friday for Diller's second wake in Massapequa Park

Officials say that Jones was behind the wheel of a car that was parked illegally in front of a bus lane, leading Diller and his partner to approach them shortly before 6pm Monday.

After Rivera allegedly refused to roll down his window or show his hands, he allegedly opened fire on Diller, hitting the young officer under his bullet proof vest.

After Diller's partner returned fire, both Rivera and Diller were rushed to hospital. The officer was later pronounced dead, while Jones remains in stable condition.

At Wednesday's hearing, prosecutors said Jones was charged with gun possession and possession of a defaced firearm, meaning he used a ghost gun.

He was held without bail as officials cited Jones' history of skipping court dates in the past.

Jones - who has a history of 14 arrests including a 10-year stint in prison on attempted murder from 2003 - has refused to talk with detectives since his arrest on Tuesday night. 

Suspect Guy Rivera was shot at the scene by Officer Diller's colleague and taken hospital, had 21 prior arrests and previously served five years in prison on drug charges before being paroled in 2021

Prosecutors said a search warrant was issued on the vehicle in the shooting, which uncovered a second firearm.

Investigators believe Jones and Rivera had been casing out a T-Mobile store before the shooting.

Horrific surveillance footage captured the moment the young NYPD cop writhed in agony on the streets of New York after being shot.

Three loud gunshots can be heard ringing out as bystanders flee for safety. 

Despite being shot, Diller heroically moved the gun away from the shooter after it was dropped on the ground, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said during a press briefing. 

New York City Mayor Eric Adams branded the shooting a 'senseless act of violence' at a press conference outside Jamaica Hospital.

'I can't not say it any clearer: It is the good guys against the bad guys, and these bad guys are violent,' Adams, a former cop, added.

Following Rivera's arrest, it emerged that he has a lengthy criminal history including first degree robbery, illegal gun possession and assaults.

Hundreds of NYPD officers descended on the Queens courthouse Wednesday to watch the arraignment of Jones 

He had 21 prior arrests and previously served five years in prison on drug charges before being paroled in 2021.

He had also been incarcerated from 2011 to 2014 over a first-degree assault charge.

Jones had 14 prior arrests, including a conviction for attempted murder and robbery in 2003 that saw him serve 10 years behind bars.

He had been arrested on gun charges last April but was released on a $75,000 bail that was set to bring him back to court Monday.

Following Jones' April arrest, where he was caught with a loaded firearm, Mayor Adams said that he was a prime example of a 'recidivist problem' - meaning a small number of perpetrators committing a large number of crimes.

'Same bad people doing bad things to good people,' Adams added.

On Thursday, former president Donald Trump attended the officer's wake, where he slammed Joe Biden for not attending the wake even though he was only half an hour away.

Trump also accused his Democrat rival of not backing the police because his liberal supporters 'won't let him'.
