Fallen NYPD cop Jason Rivera given hero’s farewell at St. Patrick’s Cathedral

Slain NYPD cop Jason Rivera was given a solemn final farewell on Friday as his grieving brother told the thousands of officers gathered for his funeral that the rookie’s “first love was policing.”
Rivera, 22, was posthumously promoted to detective first grade during the service at Manhattan’s historic St. Patrick’s Cathedral — one week after he was murdered in the line of duty.
“He was obsessed with his career in law enforcement,” his emotional older brother, Jeffrey Rivera, said during his eulogy.
When he was a child, Rivera would listen to police radio transmissions for local alerts and avidly watch police dramas on TV, his brother recalled.(NYP)
