The president "felt the pain"
This July, Detective Miosotis Familia was the first woman NYPD officer killed in the line of duty since the 9/11 attacks. A pedestrian approached her vehicle and shot her in the head, one of the eight ambush killings this year.
Familia chose a midnight shift, her family recalls, because she wanted to spend more of the daytime with her family. “Her priority was always her children and my mother,” said her sister Mercedes Proefrock, who recalled Familia’s “contagious smile.”
“To see someone and then having them disappear like that, it’s hard,” she added.
President Donald Trump called Proefrock after Familia was killed.
“That moment, I respected that man,” Proefrock said. “The president took two minutes of his time to make me feel like she didn’t die in vain — to show her children that the President of the United States also felt the pain.”
