FDNY PARAMEDIC, 9/11 RESPONDER FATALLY STABBED IN THE LINE OF DUTY IN QUEENS: ‘HEARTBREAKING AND ENRAGING’ 

KAT CAMMACK: Think about this: my husband today is preparing for SWAT training tomorrow, and as we were going through preparing all his gear for today, I can't help but think of the families that are experiencing just the absolute disdain of the elected leadership of their cities. To fall asleep in a funeral, that's absolutely unacceptable. I can't even imagine how their family must be feeling. My heart absolutely just breaks for them. Excuse yourself out of the room or heck, don't even show up. But to fall asleep just shows your utter and total disdain for law enforcement, but… what really gets to me is that all of the communities around the country who have done it right, they have funded their police, they have supported their law enforcement in their first responders, Nancy Pelosi punished them by allocating and redistributing $8 billion to those communities that defunded their police. This is why it's so backwards. We've got to get back to supporting the police and our first responders. There's no other way around it. We have to support the police.
