Amazing work is done by this police officer 👮‍♂️ he deserves a medal for an act of heroism🏅 👏👏👏

Well done officer , a hero doing her job.

Wow

Was he accidentally or deliberately stuck? Suicide by train is not unheard of ...

I tell people its some good cops on the force. It's just that the bad ones had been running rampant throughout the country and they are saturated throughout the departments. That's what is giving them a bad name

Cop should be arrested immediately. You can't just throw an elderly person on the ground like that. Defund them immediately.

Lawsuit filed after video showed officers trying to handcuff 8-year-old at Florida schoolThe lawsuit alleges the officers acted with excessive force, school officials and officers failed to intervene, and the city and school district failed to accommodate the boy's disability and failed to properly train its employees. Florida again the cesspool of America WTF. He clearly did not want a adult teacher to touch his body, his body should be his right. All learning should be remote. Because all classrooms are toxic environments to learn in. They don't know his life. Period.
