Jaden wrote a decidedly different message on his Facebook page: "Today is the worst day of My life."

He followed up with this heartbreaking note:

Today I had to say bye to my father. He was their for me everyday of my life, he was the best father I could ask for. It's horrible that someone gets shot dead just for being a police officer. Everyone says they hate cops but they are the people that they call for help. I will always love you and I will never forget you. RIP Dad.
