Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Not many days have gone by in all these years dear Danny, that your fellow Officers from the 6th District and their families have not carried you in our hearts. Today would have been your Birthday. You are remembered & honored by so many every day - you will never be forgotten. In reading the reflections of fellow Officers here on ODMP from many different Police Departments throughout America, it reflects the honor and dedication of every Officer who honors you and your Family to this day.

When your Honor Guard stood in formation a few weeks ago with our FOP on December 9 of this year at your grave site, it was a heart-wrenching memory to see them there, all 6 of your fellow 3Squad buddies - all these years later, exactly as they did on that day so long ago at your final resting place. We will all continue to honor your beloved memory, dear Danny. We continue to pray for every Officer & their Families who have posted on here to honor you & for every Officer who has made the ultimate sacrifice throughout our country.

We love you, dear Danny. Rest in the Peace you have earned. You are held in our hearts & the hearts of so many.

Officer Faulkner,
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.

Before Danny’s death I was colleague of Danny’s wife, Maureen, at AMP Special Industries, Valley Forge, PA. At that time AMP had a branch office in Dallas, TX. So the huge rivalry between the Phila. Eagles and Dallas Cowboys continued in the Valley Forge office. Valley Forge bet the Dallas office (soft pretzels) that the Eagles would win. And, of course, they LOST! Maureen asked Danny to bring fresh soft pretzels out from Philly to the office to be overnighted to Dallas. We all met Danny when he arrived with the pretzels. He was very pleasant, polite, and an extremely good sport to face an entire office staring at him! Those were the days! On this, the 40th anniversary of Danny’s murder, this episode at AMP is a special memory, and a break, from the still painful reality of the senseless death of a very good man.

Danny was a good guy, and I lived across the street from him in Philly. My mom was talking to him the morning of his execution. That animal Jamal should of been killed. We didn't see it then but it was the beginning of the Liberal Communists Courts taken over. God bless every police officer.

Officer Faulkner's widow was on Tucker Carlson tonight. Apparently Biden's pick to lead the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, Kristen Clarke, has been working hard to get Officer Faulkner's killer freed. Clarke refers to the killer as a political prisoner.

RIP Sir! We will do out best to keep this Black Panther / Cop Killer locked up.

It's mind boggling how 39 years later not only is this animal who viciously and cowardly took your young life is still breathing the same air as us, but is also still in the media and talked about as often as he is. What counters that and is so reassuring is the support and love you still have and always will have not just from your law enforcement brethren and family, but also from the numerous citizens who have taken the time to educate themselves regarding the details and facts of that tragic evening/morning and have taken the time to know your story and sacrifice. I will not say his name here, but that certain someone is where he belongs for the time being and while he has not yet necessarily faced the justice that he truly deserves, he will surely face a much, much higher authority and justice in due time in a different place.

May God Bless you, your wife Maureen, family, friends and the men and women of the Philadelphia Police Department. Rest in peace always dear sir knowing that your service and sacrifice will never, ever be forgotten by your law enforcement brethren.

Officer Faulkner, Maureen & Family. We are in full support of keeping Mumia behind bars forever. These issues regarding this worthless radical cop killer should never be broadcasted or in the news. He deserves nothing for the grief he has caused the Faulkner family for so many years. I just said a prayer, I'm sure God may be angry with me now. I wish no peace for Mumia, I wish he never is released & suffers every day he's in jail. As my Hoodie says. Officer Daniel Faulkner was Murdered by Mumia Abu Jamal who shouldn't be in a 8X10 Foot Cell. He should be 6 Feet Closer To Hell. We pray for you Officer Daniel Faulkner, Maureen & Family that one day this will be finally over.

Officer Faulkner, The injustices toward your murder continue. It is overwhelmingly heart breaking to watch. Your wife Maureen is a Real Fighter! So Many people support you and Maureen. I guess we have to pray a little harder. I am hoping that everything turns out ok. Peace to you and Blessings for your family.

You live in our hearts...in our memories...and in our lives, dear Danny. On this day, 37 years later, you are with us & always have been. Your fellow Officers of 3 Squad, 6th District who were working last out with you that brutal, dark early winter morning have kept you & all your Family only a heartbeat away most days, all these years later. You are missed every single day. You, your Family & fellow Officers throughout our country & their Families will always be in our prayers. Your Valor will never be forgotten. We miss you, Danny.

This piece of feces will rot in jail until he meets his maker and then justice will be done for the faulkners.

Yes indeed Ms. Faulkner.......thirty-eight years of waiting for justice for your husband is wrong! I was lucky that the 16 year old who killed my husband didn’t make it out of the park that night, so I can only imagine the pain and heartache you have endured for 38 years. I do know of other wives who have had to face endless appeals and parole hearings for their husbands killers but why do we have to beg for justice for our law enforcement officers who are murdered by the dregs of society? Why do they receive more compassion than the loved ones of these slain officers?
I am sorry for what you have gone through and what you continue to have to face! We are in a club none of us thought we would be in. No matter how many years go by the pain is always there as is the memory of that first morning we wake up alone and for a brief moment think we just had a bad nightmare.
You are in my thoughts, and I pray that soon you will see justice for your husband so you both can be at peace

Rest in peace Officer Faulkner,and may God grant your family the serenity,and peace they so deserve.In 1982 I was a young somewhat impressionable18 year old beginning my first year at a state college in Massachusetts. I had a professor who thought he was the smartest man in the room,and he made sure he let you know that.Professor "asshat" would often discuss current events,and on a few occasions discussed Mumia Abu Jamal,Che Guavarra,and other people he believed were social icons who had been treated unfairly.It wasn't until the mid 90s that I signed on to the internet and joined AOL that I was able to find out just who Mumia was,and who the crowd behind the "free Mumia" movement was.Academics,Hollywood Liberals,and other so called social activists!! Mumia is nothing more than a career criminal that executed a young father,a husband,a dedicated Police Officer.Shame on those "elitists" who defend this thug!
