Yesterday, I accidentally choked and almost passed out while eating. My 14 year old was able to intervene and help me, but he was scared (so was I) and had 911 on the phone when I went down. We cancelled the ambulance request because I was breathing, and not choking on food. They sent a deputy over to check on us.
We told him what happened and how scary it was. He was very empathetic and told my son he did the right thing.
It is good to know that with all the whiners on this forum complaining about the police in this great nation, the truth remains that most of the public servants are concerned and professional individuals. They do their work out of a desire to keep peace and make sure everyone is ok. I suspect the people on this forum who complain loudest about police are the ones who drive 50 through school zones and then cry when they get a ticket for it. Or drink a 6 pack at the bar before driving home and then wonder why the cops singled them out for a trip downtown.

The vast majority do a good job but it is not whining to point out the times they do not.
