Dave Portnoy has vowed to double the total amount of money raised by Barstool Sports for the family of killed New York Police Department officer Jonathan Diller.
Diller, 31, was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop in Queens on Monday night by a career criminal with 21 prior arrests.
He was just three years into the job when he was gunned down while asking a driver why he had parked at a bus stop.
