If only more people would step in this way in the world! Slowly but surely we are starting to see good Samaritans, such as Ms. Vickie here, spring up around the country. And I have to say, it does give me some hope for our nation.
With all the anti-police sentiment being spewed forth by terrorists like BLM and SJW snowflakes, it is reassuring that there are still people with a moral compass that allows them the strength and courage to help others. Especially an Officer that is in danger.
“Authorities said a Louisiana woman “made a big difference” Sunday when she jumped on a suspect’s back to save a police officer from a brutal beatdown.
Vickie Williams-Tillman, 56, was being hailed as a hero, The Advocate reported. Williams-Tillman was driving to a store, listening to gospel music on her radio, when she spotted the Baton Rouge officer and the suspect.
“I could see in his eyes he needed help,” Williams-Tillman told The Advocate. “You don’t have time to think about it … I did what God needed me to do.”
Police said the officer found 28-year-old Thomas Bennett asleep inside his vehicle with drug paraphernalia out in the open at around 8 a.m. Bennett became aggressive after he exited his vehicle and that’s when the squabble started.
Soon at Williams-Tillman jumped on the man’s back, police backup arrived and the suspect was apprehended after being shot with a stun gun. The 44-year-old officer was not identified.” (Read More)
The suspect was arrested and charged with multiple felony charges according to the report from Fox News, and the officer suffered several wounds to his head.
I can only hope that incedents like these don’t occur anymore, but the sad truth is that they most likely will. As long as there are heroes like Ms. Vickie in the world, our Officers have a fighting chance.
