A local police officer saved a guy's life on Friday when the guy tried to commit suicide. As in, guy jumped off the landing overlooking the first floor with an extension cord wrapped around his neck and the officer caught him.
Everything I've read about the incident has stated that the officer wants to remain anonymous.
A local paper editorial called 'Smiles and Scowls' noted the officer's quick thinking and reaction. The link to the article was posted on the City Police Officers' Association FB page and several people 'liked' the post.
One idiot - a fellow officer, mind you - congratulated the officer BY NAME.
So fcuking not cool.
Re: Dude. Not cool.
This seems like nothing to get riled about.
And I'd be pissed at whoever put it on Facebook, not the dude who posted the name.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
The guy who congratulated the guy by name, did so in the comments under the linked article. On the Association's public FB page.
I spoke to one of the commanders at an event on Saturday and he told me that the officer's name would remain confidential at his request.
That a fellow officer broke confidentiality is so not ok.
Again, IF THEY WANTED TO KEEP IT CONFIDENTIAL, WHY PUT IT ON FACEBOOK WHERE THERE ARE EIGHT ZILLION IDIOTS AND ASSHOLES?
Why am I yelling? lol
I need to go home.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
The incident was reported (without the name of the officer) by the police so it is a matter of public record.
The media reported on it. (without the name of the officer - which they don't have)
The paper commented on it in an editorial. (without the name of the officer - which they don't have)
The editorial was linked on FB. (without the name of the officer)
An officer who commented on the link is the first to name the officer who was involved.
I don't know why I'm still explaining this, lol. It seems like a no-brainer DUUUHHHH situation to me.
Want a Valium? I have a couple and would be happy to share. No likey the yelling!
lol, I get what you're saying, but ... people are stupid. Why have expectations that they're not?
lol
I am going for a drink with some business contacts and will be neck deep in a three olive dirty martini in about a half an hour, but thanks for the offer, lol.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
I want a martini BAAADDDD!
Have one for me!
If you insist.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
