    Slain NYPD Detective Jonathan Diller’s widow demanded change from lawmakers on Saturday in a gut-wrenching eulogy honoring her husband.

    Stephanie Diller called her 31-year-old husband’s death “devastating” and “senseless,” as the couple’s young son was held steps behind her on the altar of St. Rose of Lima Church.

    Her moving tribute peppered with anecdotes from their early days of dating and childhood memories came moments after Diller was posthumously promoted to detective, with his new badge number paying tribute to his son’s birthday.

    Gov. Hochul, answer widow Stephanie Diller’s question: When will you protect New Yorkers?

    “My husband died a hero, but he also lived as one,” Stephanie Diller said.

    Following the service, the 1-year-old, named Ryan, was pictured reaching out from behind his father’s casket as his mom planted kisses on his head.
