As President Joe Biden was touching down in Air Force One at John F Kennedy Airport on Thursday, Monica Hale was taking her 17-month-old grandniece for a walk past the NYPD’s 32nd Precinct in Harlem.
Ms Hale, 69, stopped in the rain to pay her respects at the memorials to slain officers Wilbert Mora and Jason Rivera, who were fatally wounded on 21 January after being called to a domestic violence incident nearby.
