The officer, George Howard, is (my) Lisa's uncle.
She said that when his son met with the President (when he came to NY) the son was still very upset over the loss of his father. The son gave the shield to the Pres. and in his anger at the loss of his father blamed him for the event. The President tried to be sympathetic but what can you say to a distraught son?
It's possible the reference to Officer Howard in last night's speech was the President's way of trying to comfort the son as best the President could.
