Officer Crawls Under Bus to Comfort Pinned Woman

Just popping in during this busy holiday season to share this picture and link of a positive LEO story. I'm sure many of you have already heard about this, but a woman was trapped under a bus, and Utah Police Officer, Kevin Peck, crawled under and stayed with her to comfort her and hold her hand while they waited for rescuers to lift the bus. This is the kind of story involving officers that I love to hear about. I wish all the good that officers do would be shared like this with the rest of the world. I liked this part at the end of the article:

Peck responds to a lot of accidents in the course of his duties, but said this one was different.
“At times, the job can become mundane. Then, every once in a while, something touches you more than the others. It reminds you why you became a police officer,” he said.
“All across the country, officers do things like this every day,” he added. “It’s part of the job.”

I'm glad there are still people like this out there. It's easy to forget. You can watch an interview with Officer Peck here and read more about the incident.

Vancouver covers Police Car in Post-It "Thank Yous"

How could I pass up mentioning something positive and police related? Well, something positive following the unfortunate riots that took place last week after the Stanley cup. This is taken from the downtown Vancouver Facebook page seen here. I prefer this image to the police cars that were lit on fire.

It all began when the VPD parked their car on Granville to help with the Clean up effort. When they returned, the car was covered in post it notes... The officers received a round of applause and cheers.

I wish that the good in the world got as much media attention as the bad. . .

a video i like

You may have seen this on various police forums and blogs. I first saw it on TGR's blog. This story blew me away when I first heard it and I agree with everything Glenn Beck says here. Stupid stuff people do never ceases to shock me.

police videos in the news and one that's not

I saw these funny police-related videos in the news this morning.

Cops and Doughnuts

Sea Lion Pirates Police Boat

And now if you'll excuse me, I need to go practice my anti-wrinkle face exercises. You will not be disappointed in this video. Trust me.



And like Greer said, "No double chins for us!"

a petition

I recently read on Police Wives Inc. that following the shooting of a Nashville officer, the local news broadcast a segment demonstrating how to defeat police body armor. This segment quickly devolved into an instructional video on how to murder police officers. While this may be public information via a google search, many believe that broadcasting this information on the evening news is in very poor taste. I agree.

Compounding the frustration is the response given by the news station to the sickened and outraged law enforcement community. Police Wives Inc., have set up a petition entitled, "Stop demonstrating how to kill cops!" They want at least 2,500 signatures. The last time I checked there was only 156.

If you agree with Police Wives Inc., read their petition and sign it. I did. There are varying degrees of privacy when signing the petition. You can remain anonymous if you'd like.
