The rookie cop, along with his 27-year-old partner Wilbert Mora, was ambushed in Harlem while responding to a domestic disturbance call. Mora also died from his wounds days later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an attack on the city of New York,\u201d Mayor Eric Adams said in a press conference following the attack. \u201cIt is time for us to save our city. No one will divide this city with their violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/widow-of-slain-police-officer-earns-standing-ovation-as-she-torches-soft-on-crime-da-i-hope-he-is-watching-you-speak-through-me\">reported<\/a>, Dominique Luzuriaga, the widow of Rivera, gave a eulogy at the funeral that slammed Manhattan\u2019s District Attorney Alvin Bragg and the city\u2019s leftist policies on crime. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know it\u2019s hard being a cop\u2019s wife sometimes. It is hard being patient when plans were canceled or we would go days without seeing each other or when you had to write a report that would take forever because you had to voucher so many things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She went on to give a heartbreaking account of how she dealt with her husband\u2019s death. \u201cDozens of people were surrounding me and yet, I felt alone. I couldn\u2019t believe you left me. Seeing you in that hospital bed wrapped up in sheets &amp; not hearing you when I was talking to you broke me,\u201d she said. \u201cI was lost. I\u2019m still lost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Luzuriaga then blasted Manhattan DA Bragg. \u201cYou have the whole nation on gridlock. And although you won\u2019t be here anymore, I want you to live through me. The system continues to fail us. We are not safe anymore, not even the members of the service [NYPD]. I know you were tired of these laws, especially the ones from the new DA. I hope he is watching you speak through me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Officer Rivera&#8217;s widow, Dominique Luzuriaga: &#8220;Dozens of people were surrounding me &amp; yet, I felt alone.
