Richard Rivera murdered an NYPD cop execution-style in 1981. Now he has been recruited to sit on a panel tasked with coming up with police reform plans in New York.

Naturally, the family of the murdered cop as well as New York police are not thrilled.

What did Rivera do?

Rivera was convicted of the Jan. 12, 1981, murder of NYPD Officer Robert Walsh and spent 39 years in prison for his crime, the New York Post reported.

The killer was 16 years old when he a four other armed teenagers attempted to rob the BVD Bar and Grill in Queens.

Walsh, a 36-year-old cop with 12 years of service, was off-duty and at the bar when the gun-toting teens attempted their heist. The Post explained what happened next:

As the hero off-duty officer identified himself as a cop and reached for his gun to try to stop the robbery, Rivera shot him in the shoulder. Rivera then walked over to the officer as he lay helplessly wounded on the floor, pressed his gun to the cop's head and blasted him again, authorities said.

Rivera was released in 2019 and told the Post that he has since been working with a nonprofit to provide food and shelter for the homeless.

  • I would wonder at anyone wanting to be a cop in many many cities (Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Madison (WI), Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago the list goes on and on).  They have little support; the budgets keep being cut and the safety of the citizens keeps decreasing.  Fortunately there still are people who believe in the noble calling of law enforcement.  I have friends who actually believe some social workers should handle some crimes, like domestic violence.  I wonder what tey would say if a social worker was killed wile trying to "negotiate" with an abuser. 

  • I would NEVER act on that type of "help." In today's world EVERYTHING you do, share , say and write is monitored.  It is saved for future use against you. Wasn't Reagan that said that the most dangerous words you'll hear are: "Hello, I am from the government and I'm here to help."   Keep that in mind.

  • They need to start bringing these animals in ,feet first
