Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Waverly and I were in the same recruit class NYPD 66-24; sworn in June 20, 1966. He was always a happy good natured cop. Killed, ASSASINATED, along with his partner Joseph A. Piagentini for just doing their job. May they rest in peace.

Rest in eternal peace officer Jones. The BLA were nothing but a bunch of cowards who could only shoot a man in the back.. God bless you and may God watch over your family forever. You will never be forgotten

Unfortunately, to paraphrase Orwell: Some cop-killers are more equal than others.

But fight continues, not only on the streets of New York, but on the college campuses as well:

=====
New York State Senate Minority Leader Rob Ortt asked university president Heidi Macpherson to rescind the invitation, calling it “absolutely shameful. Let’s be very clear: Anthony Bottom was not a ‘political prisoner.’ He’s a convicted cop-killer. Calling this an ‘intellectual conversation’ on a taxpayer-funded state campus is intellectually dishonest. It’s an insult.”

But in a public statement, Macpherson indicated she would not step in.
“We do not support the violence exhibited in Mr. Muntaqim’s previous crimes, and his presence on campus does not imply endorsement of his views or past actions,” she wrote. “However, we believe in freedom of speech. SUNY Brockport has routinely held speaking events involving controversial speakers from various background and viewpoints, and will continue to do so. These conversations are uncomfortable. They are meant to be. They’re about gaining a new perspective.”


It was in defending those very rights that Piagentini, Jones and Young died in the line of duty.

I just read that Parole was granted. SHOCKED and DISGUSTED! My NO PAROLE Letter, along with ALL that were sent, should have carried an overwhelming weight in favor of continued justice for Patrolman Jones and his family. I am so VERY SORRY for the pain that the parole board’s decision has caused! Chandra, I’ve read the loving words you’ve left for your Dad. Please know that he is a forever HERO!
Blessings to you All

Officers Jones & Piagentini were murdered for no reason. They were shot from behind in a cowardly attack. They and their families received an immediate life sentence with no chance of it ever coming to an end. Yet, their murderer has been living his life. What does a "life" sentence mean?

Officer Jones,
Your service was a testament to your life. There are no excuses for the actions of the Parole Board, I can only hope they have a conscious and they lose sleep over their decision.. May your family have peace in knowing you served your city and our country with HONOR.

I had recently sent my No Parole letter in not expecting it to be ignored. It is obvious a death penalty sentence is the only way to avoid such an insult to us in the law enforcement community. May the families of P.O. Jones and P.O. Piagentini have our blessings and know how heroic their loved ones really are.

To the family, friends and colleagues of Patrolman Waverly M. Jones: I mailed my No Parole letter, in honor of this HERO. I am very sorry for your loss. Moreover, I am sorry that the family has to keep reliving this loss, with each Parole Hearing. Thank You Patrolman Jones for your service and sacrifice! God Bless You All.

May you and your partner who were taken from your brothers and sisters by radicals, rest forever in a much better place. Both are heroes who patrolled our city during very tough times. I salute you both and, when it is my time, it would be my honor to meet both of you.
