Kudos to Deputy Jeremie Nix of the Marion County, Florida, Sheriff's Office. Quick thinking and good judgement ditching protocol and doing what was necessary to save a life. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/f...on-video-2018-05-10/ "He's one of many good guys": Mother hails Florida officer for saving baby Deputy Jeremie Nix of the Marion County, Florida, Sheriff's Office was in the right place at the right time Wednesday as he was driving home from his shift. Nix is credited with saving an unresponsive 3-month old when he rushed the infant to the hospital, according to CBS affiliate WKMG-TV. The incident was all caught on dashcam video from Nix's cruiser. He was flagged down by a distressed mother at an intersection and he sprang in to help the baby. "You can tell he's completely lifeless," Nix told WKMG-TV. "She just hands him to me and the first words out of her mouth were, 'Don't let my baby die.'" Nix attempted to revive the child, named Kingston, and he took one breath, but it was faint, WKMG-TV writes. Nix had radioed for an ambulance, but he couldn't wait. "I didn't have time," Nix said. "This baby didn't have time to wait on an ambulance." So Nix told the mother, Nechole Cromwell, to follow him as he took it upon himself to drive the child to the hospital. He used his siren on the way to the Ocala Regional Medical Center. Kingston is expected to make a full recovery. "In my 17 years of doing this job, that was the most scary, emotional and rewarding day ever," Nix said. "I remember praying, thanking God for putting me in the right place at the right time for the right reason." Cromwell thanked Nix and God in a Facebook post Thursday. "I just wanted the world to know how great this officer is, & how GREAT GOD is," she wrote. "Not all officers are bad, he's one of many good guys." “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | ||

So I guess Blue lives do matter. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

The definition of a man. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation." Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II. | |||

Indeed! Elk There has never been an occasion where a people gave up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end in their massacre. (Louis L'Amour) "To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical.
