Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer Johnson,
On today, the 80th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

David, there were many of your brothers and sisters still on PD who worked hard to get you the recognition you deserve. Rest easy sir.

If I recollect, the “friend” of Officer Johnson who gunned down the racist detective was another fellow Phoenix police officer

Officer Johnson, my extreme regrets for your loss. Death at the hands of another police officer, out of rage and prejudice, should have been punished by the courts. I shudder at the thought of what the witnesses, your family and friends also had to endure in this incident.

Ultimately, your line of duty death was recognized and the truth was revealed. Thank your for your service to the nation, during WWII, the state of Arizona and the people of Phoenix.

May God grant you eternal rest and may His perpetual light shine upon you.
