Reflections for Police Officer Brian Howard Jackson

I was one of Brian’s FTO’s. He was one of the best I trained. He was a joy to train and was highly dedicated to being a Dallas Police Officer. I think of him often and was very proud of him as one of my rookies. This young man was what every Officer should model himself after. Rest in Peace my friend.

Hi Sweetpea.....I didn't forget(how could I?) it's just been a rough month.... JoAnn spent the 13th with us so your ears were probably burning! She now has several pics of you when you were little. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you...as a baby, as a little boy, as a teenager and as a young man....I'm sure most moms feel the same way. Still buy the same Fisher Price toys you had for Toys for Tots each year. Love you forever!

Hey B
I miss you so much especially this time of year. I’m feeling discouraged today and sad. I’m thinking about how hard I have fought for justice for you over the past 14 years and that I’ve failed you. I tried so hard but the “justice system”/defense has won. So Lizcano gets to live his life, in prison, while you are gone. It’s not fair. I tried so hard . I’m sorry.
Love you forever.

Just watched a rerun of the Dallas Swat show where Brian Jackson was memorialized. So sorry he didn’t get to enjoy his full family, career and retirement lives. Of course the perp was a disposable creep who shouldn’t have been in the country at all. All blessings to his family and those he left behind on the job.

Hey B, I’m just sitting here thinking about you as I try and celebrate a milestone birthday. I never thought I’d be alone, I never thought you wouldn’t be here with me. I hope you are up there looking down and protecting our blue family. I miss you so much and I love you for forever.

The first thing I thought of was the pain we all suffered almost 11 years ago, and today, 5 times over. I was thinking JoAnn how you feel for Brian and all this brothers and sisters on the force. I became more painful to me looking at the photos on CNN and feeling that the picture from the hospital of someone hugging the officer was my friend and colleague from Friday night duty runs suffering once again of the tragic loss of people dedicated to the protection of others.
God bless all wear the shield to protect and serve the public.

Horrific day for DPD Brian. I'm sure you were there to comfort those souls as they tried to make sense of what just happened. Watch over their families and protect me, please. They are going to need a lot of Angel time. Prayers to your family as they have to re-live the death of an officer. I said that yours was the one and only police funeral I would ever attend. The pouring of love and compassion from our men and women in uniform, and the families that support them, is never more evident than in an officer's funeral. God be with them. P.S. Thanks for "flying" with my Trav....I feel ya. Hugs to JoAnn.

Happy Birthday!! My goodness you'd be 39 today...one moment you were a little boy and then very quickly you became a young man...moms always say their children grow up way too fast...thank heavens we have our memories of all those years in between. Today there was a new baby born at South County and one on his way in Newport...some new happy parents tonight! Love you forever

It's been 10 years, 10 very long, sad years. I miss you so much and I wish you were here. I grieve still for you, your parents and our families and for the family we never got to have. I hear stories every year about how your life and story has saved an officers life, this give me some peace. Knowing someone is going home as a result of our loss makes me smile. I thought 10 would be easier. I spent the afternoon with Russ Martin and the guys remembering you and the out pouring of love from them and other officers/friends was amazing. I hope you know how many people love you, look up to you, miss you every day and can still hear your voice and your laugh. Keep watching over our family in blue and know I love you forever.
