She confirmed that she left Friday\u2019s reception within 10 minutes after greeting the family and saying a prayer over the casket. As she walked back to her car, Hochul was confronted by a man who was speaking to her while gesturing with emotion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe always ask: \u2018Would the families like us there?\u2019 If the families say, \u2018No, this is the time for our personal family grieving, we don\u2019t want a politician there,\u2019 we don\u2019t go,\u201d Hochul said. \u201cIn this case, we asked. We were told the family is welcoming. We always check, and they said to come, and I went. And no one told me to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Diller, 31, was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/2939018\/new-york-officer-killed-first-fatal-traffic-stop-police-two-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shot and killed <\/a>Monday while performing a traffic stop on an illegally parked car.

My job is to be there when people need me.
