Officer Davis,

It has been years since I have reached out.... Nevertheless, every May 13th since 2004, you were thought of and remembered by my mother and I.

Today the memory of you just hit me out of nowhere, but possibly due to my recent visit to DC and May coming any day....

The last time I saw your dad, was in that courtroom with judge Chabot; she is garbage, we all knew it.

Your dad is with you and it makes me happy for both of you.

Something that I could not say before... hope Nikki reads this post and everyone else who remembers officer Davis.

When I met Officer Davis, was in high school and he meant the world to my mother and I.

To make the long story short, due to my constant involvement ( non-criminal 16 and on ...) with the law enforcement, was recruited by the FBI as a subcontractor in a particular field.

This is when was introduced to Joshua Campbell's trial lawyer before the ultimate tragedy... Frankly, received a job offer from this particular lawyer, which was never accepted.

Not mentioning any names, but when saw this lawyer at the 1200 building, was asked why I didn't reply to the job offer and said was there to see him lose.

Was studying in the medical field at this time.

One night shift doing clinicals, got a call to replace a sitter ( someone who takes care of patients that are out of their mind for medical or other reasons).

When I walked into that room, recognized our " friend" who set Campbell free.

The report stated that he was coked out; ran into a pole during a high speed police chase on a freeway and was admitted. Later, he lost his " sh*t" and attacked nurses.

He was in 4 point leather restraints. When saw him; asked not to be there due to ethical reasons, but there was no other way to give staff a break.

His Blood Pressure was off the charts and it took everything out of me to report it, but could not have lived with myself if didn't.

In his delirium, I was recognized and placed with the former US Attorney ( not the AUSA). As a patient, he had the privilege to reach out to anyone. Was asked for the number of the US Attorney to report a hostage situation and it was provided because had it on my speed dial due to having 2 jobs. Patient comes first ; ).

US Attorney's office received a VM in regards to a hostage situation involving a " familiar" federal defense attorney.

Truly believe in karma post this situation.

Hope Nikki is doing well + everyone in Officer Davis' life.

Nikki, your husband has changed many lives; my family and I will remain forever grateful for everything he has done for us.

Will finally try to make it to the vigil in DC.

Coop, I can’t believe it’s been 14 yrs since you’ve made the ultimate sacrifice. There isn’t a day that goes by that your not in my thoughts. I have told my boys of your story and our friendship. Miss you lots.

Gary,

Since 5/13/2004, there has not been a day that has gone by that I do not think of you or miss you. Now you have Jack up in Valhalla with you and I can only imagine the hot rod conversations and rubber burning the two of you must be doing. You were meant to greatness and I only wish that greatness could have been seen here on earth. You will never be forgotten my friend. Keep watching over us. We love you.

I know it's a week after your anniversary Coop, but I haven't been able to find the words to say how much I still miss you. I know that God has a plan and y our was to walk the beat up in heaven, but I still think it was too soon. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you and what a great officer and person you were. You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten.

Coop,

Yesterday marked 10 years since the accident. There has been a lot of changes within the department but one constant remains. YOU!!!! There is not a day that goes by without your " BTPD brothers and sisters" saying your name or thinking about you.
We gathered by the your bench, in your honor, and remembered your impact on us as a friend, mentor, and fellow Officers.

Thanks for keeping us safe.

I am a law enforcement student in Michigan and was assigned an extra credit presentation in my patrol operations class. I was assigned to research Officer Davis and the circumstances of his death. I have lived in Michigan my whole life and was young when Officer Davis passed away, so I do not remember that day, but my dad does. I would like to offer my deepest condolences to Officer Davis' family, co-workers, and friends. It is truly tragic what happened to Officer Davis.. Rest In Peace.
