James E. Davis Rest in Peace April 3, 1962 - July 23, 2003

JAMES E. DAVIS

A Brooklyn native and former police officer, Councilman James E. Davis, D-Brooklyn, has been involved in public policy since 1983, when he was falsely arrested (and, he said, beaten) for stealing a car that was, in fact, his mother's.
After graduating from Pace University, Davis became a corrections officer at New York's Rikers Island. In 1991 he went to work for the Transit Police, then transferred to the NYPD in 1993. Later that same year, he went to work as a social science instructor at the police academy.
Davis headed "LOVE YOURSELF" Stop the Violence, a non-profit organization he founded in 1990. Among other efforts, the group in 1994 convinced Toys 'R' Us to stop selling realistic-looking toy guns. Davis was elected to the New York City Council in November 2001.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- In a crime that sent shock waves across New York City, a political rival of City Councilman James E. Davis opened fire in the chamber's balcony, killing Davis just minutes after the two had entered City Hall together, authorities said.
"It's a very sad day for New York," Mayor Michael Bloomberg told reporters. "It is a great tragedy."

Bloomberg said Davis -- a 41-year-old former police officer known as a crusader against urban violence
