A moment of silence for Officer Gary Davis

[Nupe]

"The big issue was cause. Absolutely this was a tragic accident," said juror Cindy Houeiss. "But we felt it was a case where two people were at the wrong place at the wrong time."

She misses the whole point that Officer Davis was there doing his job and the drunk kid should have never been there because he shouldn't have been on the road.   One good thing about this state is that it is tough on drunks.   The driver wouldn't have had it so easy here.     Forgot also that the kid already had an OUI.

Never met Gary, but he seemed like a heck of a guy with a good sense of humor.   RIP

Those jurors are idiots. Let's see here intoxicated behind the wheel of a car. Ummm yeah, sounds like a life sentence for me.

That tells you how bright some jurors are "wrong place at the wrong time". A big WTF do you mean??
Look how they effed up the OJ trial.

you have to see the locked thread over at moparts where a couple of scumbags actually had the balls to agree that unlawfl was to blame for what happened!!!

makes me want to beat someone.  beat someone really hard.

I take this thread very seriously as a kid I was involved with an accident with a drunk driver and not to mention years later my g/f (my beloved Alex) was killed by a drunk driver.

If you kill someone with a knife or a gun, society says that you are a murderer or a killer. If you kill someone with a car while drunk, society says "aww, he's really a good guy, he just had a little too much to drink. We can't jail a good guy like him."   TELL THAT TO THE DEAD MAN'S CHILDREN. Trust me when I tell you that it does not make a rats ass difference to kids how their father died, it still hurts the same.

That F'n Sucks. RIP Gary!

Please visit the Officer Down Memorial Page.  I hope to never be on it.

A Miscarrage of justice is an understatement. Its one thing for twelve dummies to miss the boat on this case, but what really pisses me off is the Judge let this verdict stand. How that Judge lives with him/herself is beyond me.

God Bless Officer Davis & His Family.

  This is a case of the justice system failure.   How can anyone any 6-12 memeber of society want this guy back on the road.   What does it take?

Because people as individuals are STUPID, that's why; imagine when there are 6 to 12 STUPID people put together!  The stupid-power is magnified exponentially!  It's like comparing a two stroke lawnmower versus a 60's street Hemi!  Remember OJ, Michael Jackson, and so on and so on.  People are just plain dumb.  And now a man who spent and then GAVE his life serving and protecting others has just had his life spit upon by the very same idiots he swore to serve and protect....

It is SAD indeed . . . death is a tough thing for many people.   Prayers go out to the family and all that are effected by this tragic event.

If anyone ever goes to the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington D.C  his name will be etched on the wall .  They have stencil paper where you can get a rubbing of his name off the Wall of Honor. It is a well attended event in May every year.

where can I get one of those cards?

I was gonna go find it and scan it, blah blah but it was saved on moparts already

Ironically, a similar situation appears to be happening here in California. Officer Matt Redding, 29, of the Rocklin, CA. police department was run down and killed by a drunk 25 year old punk fleeing from Citrus Heights Police yesterday morning. Initially, they were going to charge him only with hit and run, and drunk driving, but I see now on a local news website that they are now going to charge him with vehicular manslaughter. They really need to throw the book at scumbags like this.

In my opinion, drunk drivers who kill somebody should, at the very least, have their head lopped off in the town square. I hate drunk drivers!    My uncle was killed five years ago by a loser, bottom-feeding drunk driver. They are a deadly cancer that needs to be cut from our society!

As always, just my opinion.

This burns me up thinking about it. It's a sad day where a drunk driver gets let of so easily for killing anyone police officer or not.....


I still have that mopar magazine with his car in it....

RIP Gary

I was stunned watchting the local news and finding out that Campbell got let go.  That's BS in my mind especially with the DUI's mentioned.  Wrong place at the wrong time?  If he wasn't drunk, he could have reacted.  I pass that section on I-75 numerous times.  It gives me a chill driving by.

I first met Gary at his place when he had his summer bash.  It was a great time.  He had bunch of Mopars in his backyard.  When it got darker, we went inside and watched some racing videos.  There was a guy that had car problems that drove down from Canada.  Gary really didn't know him.  Gary was going to lend his truck and trailer to him so he can get back home.  Gary was one of the greatest people.

Our company helped a charity event last year for Bloomfield Township Police to raise money for bullet proof vest.

Gary will never be forgotten!
