I pray God places his hands upon this family and comforts them in this time of need. I can't begin to imagine how they must be feeling right now. May God take all the friends and family of Sgt. Davis into his arms and ease the pain of this terrible tragedy. I will keep you in my prayers.

God Bless you all that are mourning the loss of your co-worker, friend, or family member. People seem to forget when an Officer dies that he or she is so much more than just an Officer. My wish to you all is that you concentrate on the good memories and share them as many times as possible to keep this gentleman's contribution to all those around him alive. I wish you all peace and the hope that each day your pain becomes more bearable.

********** I'M A POLICEMAN *************
I'M A POLICEMAN. OH, WHY? YOU MIGHT ASK?
IT'S NOT THAT THE PAY IS WELL WORTH THE TASK.
IT'S SOMETHING DEEP DOWN, IT'S SOMETHING
INSIDE..IT'S NOT JUST A JOB WHERE YOU'RE
THERE FOR THE RIDE.
THE DANGERS WE FACE, WE KNOW THEY ARE FOR REAL..BUT, IT'S NOT JUST A JOB, IT'S SOMETHING WE FEEL.
WE'RE OUT ON THE BEAT, IT'S LATE AT NIGHT..THIS IS THE TIME WHEN FAMILIES FIGHT.
SHOUTING AND CURSING AND THEN COMES A HIT..A LOUD SCREAMING CHILD, A MAD RAGING FIT.
WE COME ON THE SCENE AND THERE'S NO SET
PLAY..WE HAVE TO ASSESS WITH OUR FEARS PUSHED AWAY.
THERE'S DARTING EYES AND ANOTHER DOOR..
CAN WE SEE ALL THE PEOPLE OR ARE THERE
MORE?
A BANG AND CRASH COME FROM THE BACK..IS
SOMEONE ELSE THERE TO TAKE A CRACK.
WE TAKE CONTROL BUT IT'S NEVER EASY..THE
MESS AND THE PEOPLE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL
QUEASY.
WE RETURN TO THE BEAT AND HOPE IT'S
ALRIGHT..BUT WE KNOW WE'LL BE BACK FOR
THE VERY NEXT FIGHT.
A RED LIGHT RUNNER, A SIMPLE CHASE...
WE NEVER KNOW WHAT WE ARE SOON TO FACE.
ANOTHER BAD DRUNK? A KID ON A HIGH?..OR
SOMETHING MUCH WORSE TO GIVE US A TRY.
WE CAN'T TAKE IT EASY, WE CAN'T TAKE A
CHANCE..ALWAYS A NEW TUNE, ALWAYS A NEW
DANCE.
THERE'S A RACIAL TENSION AND RIGHTS TO UPHOLD..WE HAVE TO SHOW PATIENCE BUT YET
APPEAR BOLD.
IT'S EASIER TO SAY THAT "ALL MUST BE
FAIR".. WHEN YOU'RE NOT ON THE STREET,
WHEN YOU'RE NOT THERE.
THOSE FEELINGS OF PRESSURE WE MUST PUT
ASIDE..WITH OUR ACTIONS UP FRONT AND
KEEPING OUR PRIDE.
SO, WHY DO I DO IT? WHERE IS THE JOY?..
THERE'S PEOPLE WHO SMILE, A FOUND LITTLE
BOY.
THERE'S LAUGHTER AND FRIENDSHIP WITH PEOPLE WHO CARE..THERE'S KNOWING A DIFFERENCE JUST 'CAUSE WE'RE THERE.
THERE'S SUNSHINE AND SADNESS AND HAVING
THE NERVE..TO GET UP EACH MORNING AND
SAY THAT "I SERVE"!
THANK YOU, Sergeant Michael Davis, for keeping the citizens of Clayton County and the State of Georgia safe. We will forever be indebted to you. We will never forget how much you are loved by family and coworkers and friends. We will never forget that you never married or had kids, choosing instead to serve and protect and dedicate your life to the citizens of this state. We will never forget how much you loved your patrol car and washed and polished it almost daily! If anyone touched your car, you made them wipe off their fingerprints!! You were so funny about that car. Never have I met an Officer more in love with their job. We will miss you. Bless you and your family.
Godspeed.
