Policeman Joseph English Daniels

As a former LAPD Officer I can say this story of OFFICER DANIEL'S fatality is somewhat ironic. Officer Daniel's lost his life at the same I/S as my father, one month after my father, 14days and 15 years before my father's death. (AUG. 10th, 1956). I'm ashamed to admit my father was supposedly in the commission of a crime, which resulted in an O.I.S. Between my father and 2 LAPD patrol Officers, Jack Noonan, and his partner D.L. Waugh. I was only 4 years old, and I've never held a grudge against the LAPD, the same agency I joined at 31years of age. I knew, from close family members, my father's history on the streets of L.A., in the middle 50's. Unfortunately, my father never got himself together to see his children become law abiding citizens. But, as I said in the beginning, it was ironic to have lost my father, and a fellow officer in blue, tragically, at the same location in the city of Los Angeles.
