Hero Officer Makes Second Rescue Days Apart

http://www.cbs8.com/story/20549725/h...apartment-fire

Officer Zach Bradley, just a few days earler helped rescue a woman and her two daughters from a burning apartment complex, pulls a suspected DWI from their wrecked SUV, after hiting a natural gas meter. Once, again, risking his life.

Thank you, Officer Bradley, for yur service.

These are the people that run into danger and by doing so, become heros.

Kudos to the best of us.

He is a cheater. His jackboots are the lightweight ones so he isn't as tired and can stay later since he isn't as tired from oppressing patriots. Does Bates make a light weight jackboot?

Neither one counted if he was not wearing his hat.

That is a good point. I wonder how many just naturally and instinctively do that? I am not attempting to toot my own horn, just it struck me the other day when I found myself doing it instinctively.

I put up the badge, handcuffs, authorized pistol, etc. and locked it up and went CCLing, just to pretend I am not a number for the weekend. I went to the partk with the kids. It is a pretty big park full of children, more acreage than you can see at a glance.

Toward the end of the park I hear two loud pops that sound like small caliber gunshots.

I am thinking, a park full of kids? Oh, hell no. So, my first instinct was to try to figure out where it was comming from. If somone was shooting at kids in the park, they were inline for some .45ACP golden saber.

I looked all around. I didn't see casualties, I didn't see an active shooter. Heck, I didn't see a shooter period.

Again, this isn't to brag, but I find myself always going toward danger rather than away from it.

I don't think I am alone in this.
