Here is the problem: This story is great, a good cop did a good thing and saved a woman's life. The use of the term 'guardian angel' several times in the story gives it a real nice feeling, like you feel it is possible you have people watching out for you. This doesn't draw enough attention though. Understandably, this was originally presented at about 7:00 PM EST, but the amount of replies is not nearly as many as to any bad cop story. It is the sensationalism. I can't remember who started it, but the thread that asked about all the 'bad cop' stories cropping up and why- this is the reason. It is terrific, but people like to see bloodshed and travesties a whole lot more. Bad cops sell.
Was that woman half retarded or something? And I was looking to read about a real save not this.."Hey lady, ya parked on the train tracks. Get ya ass offa there. Sheeesh!"
I was thinking of that idiot who tried to beat a train at a crossing and killed her kids. And I swear I heard about another such incident somewhere besides this one.
See I don't hear about this stuff, I don't watch television except at the diner once every other week and the is more local news usually. Wordforge is my main source of news, as scary as that is.
This is nothing. Now that guy that jumped ON TO THE TRACKS to cover someone with HIS BODY while the train PASSED RIGHT OVER THEM, now THAT is some fuckin' BALLS!
