JUST IN: Widow of slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller delivers emotional speech, blasts New York City for not protecting the police.
Diller's wife Stephanie says her husband died a hero and lived as one too.
"My husband died a hero, but he always lived as one."
"He was always putting people above himself, dropping everything to help someone in need, and speaking up for what was right."
"He was a fierce protector of everyone around him, he spoke his mind and wasn't afraid."
"How many more police officers and how many more families have to make the ultimate sacrifice before we start protecting them?"
Diller was murdered by a career criminal who was released from jail 21 times.
Devastating.
