Touching story.

WASHINGTON — A call for help on Thursday night was a first for a 12-year police veteran — and it’s one he’ll never forget.
Montgomery County Police Officer Dave Reed was on patrol at the White Oak Shopping Center in Silver Spring, Maryland, when a man told him he’d seen a woman who was in some kind of distress in a parked car.
Officer Reed spotted the woman sitting hunched over in the passenger side of a car, sobbing uncontrollably. The door was open when he approached her to ask if she needed help or if he should call for an ambulance.
Reed says the woman shifted her body, blocking something in her lap from his view.
“At that point I put my hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her and let her know that I was there to help her,” Reed says.
When the woman shifted slightly, Reed could see that she had a baby wrapped in a heavy fleece blanket. The baby appeared lifeless, Reed says. “The baby’s head rolled back, the eyes kind of rolled back in the baby’s head.” The child was unresponsive and unconscious.
At that point, Reed told the woman he was going to take the baby from her arms. The woman allowed him to take the child, even though she was sobbing so hard, Reed says he was worried she was going to hyperventilate.
With such a tiny baby — Reed guessed it was about one month old — he used a two-fingered technique to start chest compressions. Then he used the heel of his hand on the baby’s back and gave her a gentle rap.
“Not hard, just enough to jolt the baby,” he says.
That’s when he heard a gasp that let him know the baby was breathing. Then, the baby started to cry.
“I knew we were good — when you can hear a baby cry, then you know you’re good,” Reed says.
According to the Montgomery County Police Department, the father of the infant returned to the car during vehicle during the interaction.
The woman, who was later identified as the child’s mother, and the infant were taken to the hospital where the 21-year-old received a medical evaluation while the baby was given a physical exam.
At the hospital, Reed says it hit him: He saved the baby. “She looked at me with those big brown eyes and grabbed my finger. I was ready to take her home right then,” he says about the baby.
Reed says when he went home that day, he did what he always does: He spent time with his own two children. “Every night when I go home, I always go in and kiss them and tell them, ‘Daddy’s home safe.’ Last night, I … kind of stayed a little longer.”
At a news conference in front of police headquarters, Montgomery County Police Captain Paul Starks told reporters, “He didn’t say it, but Dave Reed is a hero.”
In response, Reed did what heroes typically do: he credited someone else. Reed says the man who first spotted the woman and then alerted him, helped put Reed in the right place at the right time.
“I tried to turn around when it was all said and done to thank him, but he was already gone.”
Montgomery County Police say the infant is expected to make a full recovery; the baby was released from the hospital to family members.
Police, Child Protective Services and the state’s Attorney’s office are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.

I only had to read this far to know that it's FAKE FAKE FAKE.
“At that point I put my hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her and let her know that I was there to help her,” Reed says.
Nobody that would ever say that to another human being would even apply for the job of contemporary cop.
This ain't Mayberry, dude. Hasn't been for a long time. Get over it.
Bullshit!

You've met me. I guess you are saying I am "nobody". I've said that before and I was a cop.

Massaged interviews.
Oh why don't massaged interviews apply to bad cop threads?
I do have fact on my side here, nobody...the media, YOU, listen when a cop does something good. It goes unnoticed.
Have fun with your media agenda and keep believing the bad cop BS they are feeding you.
One thread, one article....this one, nobody believes. Yet, if anyone posts a bad cop thread you brainwashed pricks jump on board instantly.
Go figure. :rolleyes:

That's the bottom line.
Nobody in mainstream society wants to think about a cop doing something nice!
That's why I posted this article.
I knew...knee jerk reaction would be to find anything and everything to disprove it and make it BS.
That same knee jerk reaction is to believe EVERY bash cop article out there though....without questioning it?
Seriously, think about that for a moment. Ask yourself, are you thinking for yourself? Or, are you allowing others, to think for you.

I again reminded of why we should meet and what should transpire. A simple arm wrestle both arms for warm up and then full wrestle without arms (firearms). Then wrestle to concedement. OK you have about 100 lbs on me, that does suck but I am a fuking bitch with an attitude. Any time any where. I have taken down many much bigger. I dont even think I need to exercise with the barbi bells for this one.
Any betting people? Need a flight and a cameraman. Should be a good show man.

Here is what officer reed really said.
That was a good interview. Maybe that officer really did help a baby. We talk about white people being hated and the media/society's agenda against them.
The biggest agenda. White Cops. Everyone hates them. Look at St. Louis, a black cop kills a black thug. Black people riot and destroy an all black neighborhood (blame white cops). A black Mayor speaks against white cop oppression. Our black president concurs.
Everything from bottom to top, was black people. Not a white person was involved. What did white people have anything to do with that? Nothing. Who does everyone hate and blame? White cops.
According to the media, if you are a white cop, you may as well be the devil.

You guys should learn to take the opposite side of any Jewish Media narrative.
Do you think the Police will be better when there's no White police officers? Part of what's going on now is they are purposely being given "toys", radicalized, and demonized at the same time to demonize White people, so White people become afraid of becoming cops, and the ones that are there are kicked out for their White Privilege or because of fear.
The Police will just become death squads for the Jews, killing Whites relentlessly when they weed out the White population out of the Police Forces. That's been the plan.

The title of this post could have been "Good Samaritan Saves Baby" He happened to be a cop.
It's great what he did, but it's not the kind of act that will restore faith in police. Many people would have done the same thing.
If you are looking to restore faith in cops in the future, please post all the articles where cops have turned in dirty brother cops who have broken laws, other cops that have turned a blind eye to criminal cops, or their corrupt department heads who issue unconstitutional/criminal orders and cover up criminal police activities. Show me the good cop like this.

NYPD Cop Stole Dead Man’s Credit Card to Buy Diamond Ring at Zales: Prosecutors
The accused officer, 30-year-old Ymmacula Pierre, was on the job when she went to an apartment building on East 14th Street in Union Square last July to conduct a wellness check requested by the tenant’s family, prosecutors said.
It turned out the man who lived there, 65-year-old Ken Sanden, had passed away. After notifying the man’s family, Pierre obtained his credit card information and then allegedly bought a $3,200 diamond ring from Zales two days later.

New York cop saves a little boy. Boy was not breathing, no pulse. He performed CPR on the boy, and at the same time, drove him to the hospital. Amazing. Video at link...
http://abcnews.go.com/US/york-cop-drives-car-saves-toddler-cpr-time/story?id=25974870
A hero police officer in upstate New York is credited with a toddler's dramatic rescue, thanks to his rapid response.
Sgt. Patrick Hildenbrand, 35, of the Red Hook, N.Y., Police Department, thought he was going to pull over a speeding driver. Instead the officer encountered a frantic father carrying the lifeless body of his 22-month-old son.
After Matthew Morgan suffered a seizure and collapsed on Monday, his father, Matt, grabbed his body to drive him to the nearest hospital, ABC station WABC-TV reported. The elder Morgan was speeding through the Dutchess County Village of Red Hook, when he and Hildenbrand spotted each other.
"It was not a typical traffic stop," Hildenbrand told ABC News, explaining that the father slammed on his brakes when he saw the police officer's SUV.
"He has a young boy in his hands and he's running at me, yelling at me, his son is not breathing. 'I think my son is dead, my son is not breathing,'" Hildenbrand said.
Morgan hoped the police officer could drive the baby to the hospital quickly so doctors could save his son's life.
"I was going and then he hit his lights and then as soon as I seen that, I stopped and I ran to his car. You get through traffic a lot faster," the father, 19, told WABC-TV.
An officer for nine years and a former firefighter of 17 years, Hildenbrand said his instincts and training kicked in after the three hopped in the police SUV. After Hildenbrand asked the father where he came from, the officer said he made a split-second decision to drive directly to the hospital instead of waiting for an ambulance to arrive.
"I don't live too far from him, so I knew time was of the essence," Hildenbrand said. "I had to get to the hospital as soon as possible."
While Hildenbrand drove to the hospital with Morgan and his son in the backseat, behind a partition, the officer simultaneously performed CPR on the boy.
"I reached my hand back here as I'm driving, moved my body over and started doing all the compressions and feeling for a pulse while I could still operate the vehicle," Hildenbrand said.
When they arrived at the hospital, Hildenbrand continued CPR while he carried the boy to doctors.
"The medical staff did their stuff and the baby started crying," Hildenbrand said.

If someone doesn't talk, we can believe what we want, right?
Deductive reasoning on what might have truly happened. Reading b/w the lines.
So, if the media feeds you some information, you already don't like cops, you assume the worst in them....are you seeing the truth?
Who said I don't like cops? I just don't trust them.
I don't know. I do know this. Nobody on here would post this thread. THIS thread. Nobody reading this site wants to even think about a cop doing something nice.
That's the bottom line.
I had not seen the article. Thanks for posting. ;D

That's why I posted this article.
They always talk about cops being nice in media. At least that is the way in the local rag. The local rag and media go above and beyond making cops look good.
I don't watch TV so I cannot comment.
I knew...knee jerk reaction would be to find anything and everything to disprove it and make it BS.
Brewtech just called BS. What is knee jerk about it?
The article is definitely dramatized by fresh out of college intern that is full of state propaganda.
It was also approved by an editor.
That same knee jerk reaction is to believe EVERY bash cop article out there though....without questioning it?
To many dead civilians beats out a few cops being good. Don't forget, they are revenue collectors for all of us "law abiding citizens".
Seriously, think about that for a moment. Ask yourself, are you thinking for yourself? Or, are you allowing others, to think for you.
This is something to remember when reading/watching anything.

It's not that, it's the forum. We don't seek the truth here anymore. It's not about discovering and exposing lies, it's about promoting agendas.
I know this truth. Whatever agenda you want? You can find countless articles on the internet to support your agenda. All you need to do, is post them. Simple as that.
