I saw on the news earlier ( if I knew how to post links I would of) where an off duty New jersey cop was beaten by a mob of people because he was wearing a Ranger uniform. There is actually a video that shows it. What baffles me is in watching the video no one came to the aid of the cop being beaten. And wether it was a cop or anyone else how can people just stand there and watch such a brutal beating of a human being. People are out of control. This guy did two tours overseas in the Marines, works as a cop yet gets hurt at a hockey game. I can only hope that the lowlifes that did this not only gets caught but gets some well deserved "bullpen therapy" ( as we used to call it on my former job)... Prayers for a speedy recovery for the injured officer.

May they all rest in peace.

Nice to read that for once a perp got what was coming to him....great job!!!

May the deceased officer rest in peace and may the others recover quickly.

That may be true but they are still inmates aka criminals. Maybe 25 years working in the penal system has scarred my opinions on them.

Why I was never comfortable with using inmates as firefighters. They belong where they were sent...behind bars.

May she rest in peace

I wish to echo this and also to all those working this evening be safe!!!

Hi Christopher I have a patch and shirt coming to you...keep fighting and God Bless

Not sure if I like the idea of outfitting a personal vehicle with red lights. Call me a killjoy...

What kind of training do the recieve?

I could see liability in using fire police for making arrests. They dont carry weapons nor are they trained to my knowledge to the extent of regular police officers in making arrests or use of force if force should be needed.

May they all rest in peace and I am sure this was a tough one all the responders in Stamford but I am confident they did all they could.

I second this...God Bless

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all...God Bless!!!

Very touching story. May God Bless this young man.

This is just a guess...I believe there is legislation to create a Tier-6 which is more restrictive than Tier-5...again...just a guess.

It's called expressing one's opinion.

May he rest in peace.

As a former member of the DP Hays Hose Company ( PFD) these pictures bring back memories from the 80's of when I used to drive Santa from the firehouse in the old village to headquarters...the best was seeing the looks on the kids faces when we pulled up.

The officer made a decision to put the victims life first...his second. You can tear apart his decision all you want but at the end of the day it was his decision and a heroic on at that. His actions resulted in a positive outcome. I believe anyone of us would have done the same thing and I am sure his actions will leave a lasting impression on the victim.

Some how this does not surprise me.
