In the past months we have witnessed some horrific videos, shootings, beatings, and all manner of police brutality. We are saturated with the police officers doing the wrong thing.... to the point that they are now titled as "Scum bag", "Brutes", and as some posters have said...."time for open season on cops."
Here are a few articles that you may have missed.
Police officer in upstate New York is credited with a toddler's dramatic rescue, thanks to his rapid response.
Sgt. Patrick Hildenbrand, 35, of the Red Hook, N.Y., Police Department, thought he was going to pull over a speeding driver. Instead the officer encountered a frantic father carrying the lifeless body of his 22-month-old son.
After Matthew Morgan suffered a seizure and collapsed on Monday, his father, Matt, grabbed his body to drive him to the nearest hospital, ABC station WABC-TV reported. The elder Morgan was speeding through the Dutchess County Village of Red Hook, when he and Hildenbrand spotted each other.

The officers raised money to buy the child gifts, dropped by his home with K-9 and motorcycle units and even coordinated a helicopter fly-over, she said.
"They wanted to put a smile on the boy's face," Lizasuain said.

Germantown, WI An incredible story from Friday morning starts out with a black lab named John Boy, approaching a police officer.
Germantown police officer, Jeff Gonzalez deserves credit for not only refusing to do what so many other cops do when dogs approach them, but actually getting out in the freezing weather to see why this dog was loose.
He stood there and barked a little bit, then I rolled down my window and called to him. Then he wagged his tail and got more friendly until I got out of my car. And then he ran a little bit, said Gonzalez.
John Boy was seemingly trying to get the officers attention in an effort to help his owner.
Yeah, he sure did. He pointed me in the right direction, said Gonzalez.
John Boy led the officer up the street to a house where his owner, Krystal, was unresponsive. Krystal, who suffers from a heart condition, was slumped over in a chair outside her front door, still in her pajamas. It was dangerously cold out.

Police responded to the area after three calls came in around 5:23 p.m. Just north of Eskimo Drive, Officer Gina Murphy found a 1- or 2-year-old mixed breed dog that had been shot twice in the neck and above the right shoulder and tied to railroad tracks with a belt, but was alive.

Police say an accident on I-95 backed up traffic onto Cross Street, causing total gridlock, and Robertson was in the area.
The thought crossed my mind that wow, if there was a train it would be impossible to get all these cars off the tracks,' said Robertson.

I saw the cruiser on the side of the road and I said, Oh, too late. No sense in slowing down now, hes already nailed me, said Scotty Falconer.
When Officer Matthew Harrington pulled Falconers car over, he was prepared to write the driver a warning and send him on his way.
Went back to my car, started to run checks, write out a warning card, at which time I heard screaming, said Harrington.

And ladies, gentlemen, and those in between.... should we condemn all our police because you and the media ignore the good that the vast majority of our police officers do?
