They’re legit treating him like if it was one of their kids. Mad respect for them officers
-
As a former EMT, the screams may be awful to listen to but man, they're a wonderful noise, because you know your patient has an airway and he's breathing 💔
-
As a pediatric ICU nurse, that was really hard to watch. The way he was crying, that's called a neuro cry. People cry like that, a high-pitched cry that sounds like a bird screeching after their brains have been injured. Those police officers, especially the one that put his life on the line, are heroes 👏 🙌 ❤❤👏👍👍🙌
-
They held that poor boy so tight while he cried; you know this wasn’t an easy one, but those officers did a DAMN GOOD JOB saving him.
-
"Don't touch him." "I gotta get him. I gotta get him." You could hear the compassion. Not even a hint of fear. Bold and brave. That's a hero.
-
That cop didnt take any longer than 5seconds to think and decided his life was worth risking for this young boy. I got nothing but respect for this officer.
-
“It’s okay buddy, just let it out” truly kind officers we need
-
speaking as an emergency trauma RN for over 30 years & having worked hand in hand with both police & fire departments….i am so very proud of these officers!! Great job guys!! GOD bless you all & stay safe🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
-
These officers were awarded Medals of Valor this week for their efforts in saving this child’s life. Very deserved
-
No one is talking about the officer to his left who said "I'll go with you " and went in with no hesitation. Bravo
-
That little boy's screams broke my tender mama heart. These officers are heroes.
-
As a firefighter, I respect these officers SO much. I don't know many people who would've taken this massive risk. This is what heroes are.
-
This happened in 2022, the boy survived and the officer recieved a medal of valor for his heroism. Edit: both the officers got medals. No idea what happened entirely but the boy grabbed a downed electrical line and that's when he's found in the middle of the road. Haven't seen an update since.
-
The fact that they sat with him in the back seat instead of waiting for the ambulance warms my heart. We need cops like these to be leading the force.
-
Man, those few seconds he's standing there looking at that horrible situation. Followed by that deep sigh and then just deciding "I gotta get him." Can't be easy. Respect!
-
Officers like this perform over 20 million acts of kindness every year. They are heroes!
-
the kid crying in the background really broke me. mad respect.
-
As an electrician , what that cop did took unbelievable courage. Bravo.
-
As horrible as those screams of extreme fear and pain sound... I bet that sounded like music to the officer's ears. The fact he is alert enough to scream and cry had to be SUCH a relief. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it also broke their hearts to be comforting a child that small with such serious injuries. 💔 His tiny, horribly burned hands are terrible to look at.
