SYLG Remembers Danny

Although I posted about Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner’s murder yesterday, I wanted to acknowledge this horrible crime on the exact date it occurred 25 years ago. The coward who assassinated Danny has been living comfortably on death row for 23 years, thumbing his nose at Danny’s widow, Maureen. He and his legal team have been abusing the appeals process for decades, while he enjoys the celebrity status lauded upon him from Hollywood, the French, and college students who are ignorant of the facts.

In the meantime, few people remember the murdered police officer who was first shot in the back, the shot point blank in the face. I remember. My fellow officers will remember. And this city should remember Danny’s sacrifice long after that murdering son of a bitch Wesley Cook is put to death.
