To our countries heroes... cheers!

[Gunnair]

'bout time the good guys in the RCMP made the headlines. Hope this guy pulls through alright.

[Canadian_Mind]

He could and probably should have been dead.

Commendable actions!

[Yogi]

Bravo! Here's hoping the Officer has a speedy, and complete recovery.

[CrazyNewfie]

Hero indeed, we need to hear these stories more as opposed to...well you know. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

[GreenTiger]

These are the kind of things you should hear about the Mounties.

[raydan]

We need more mounties like him... or like Dudley.

[andyt]

There are lots like him. In Vancouver we had a cop jump in the river to save a homeless guy, nearly drowning himself.

These stories do get media attention. The thing is it's brief, because there's no investigation needed, no outrage and no cover ups by his bosses. Just a good story that lasts a day. When a cop kicks somebody in the head, it lasts a long time as elements of the story come out, and, let's hope, one day we read he's been convicted and sentenced to jail time and fired.

Hear Hear, too much negative focus on our RC's and police these days, glad to finalyy have a "hero" story.

[Zipperfish]

Some welcome press for the Mounties. Quick thinking by this guy, not to mention courage.

All I can say is

andyt said it, the good that police do every day doesn't make the news, because lets face it, people love to hate cops and stories about bad cops will get 100 more readers than the good that the police do.

that's a damn good job brother, here's to a speedy recovery and some metal for that chest
