They’re legit treating him like if it was one of their kids. Mad respect for them officers
@forwarddrive4066 so does having a good conscious. How sad you are.
Victim Mentality can get one very sad and depressed .. thats what he is @@matthewotis3594
@@matthewotis3594exactly lame as hell
@@forwarddrive4066 the other officers had cameras too but nobody was risking his life... your comment is stupid
@@forwarddrive4066 right after yall got the bodycam thing pushed and noticed that itll catch officers doing good as well as bad. Now all the sudden body cams are a bad thing lmfao. There is something wrong with your brain
This happened in 2022, the boy survived and the officer recieved a medal of valor for his heroism.
Edit: both the officers got medals. No idea what happened entirely but the boy grabbed a downed electrical line and that's when he's found in the middle of the road. Haven't seen an update since.
Thank you for sharing the outcome.
Thank you
Thank you for sharing man. 🔵⚫️🙏🏾
So what exactly happened to the boy? How did he get electrocuted in the first place?
Thanks for the update this was just heart breaking didn’t know if that shock burnt the little guys insides glad he is alright 🙏🙏
As a pediatric ICU nurse, that was really hard to watch. The way he was crying, that's called a neuro cry. People cry like that, a high-pitched cry that sounds like a bird screeching after their brains have been injured. Those police officers, especially the one that put his life on the line, are heroes 👏 🙌 ❤❤👏👍👍🙌
He has a burned spot on his hands, his heels, and the TOP OF HIS HEAD. You can see where t he current went in and out of him.
I read this and I got sad😢
You have a disturbingly low bar for allocades. The cops did nothing, no cpr, no mouth-to-mouth, didn't even try to clear his airway.
@@johnsmith1474i agree, cpr is a necessary when it comes to something like that, but they did end up taking him to the hospital. That’s the good part.
@@johnsmith1474that’s because they didn’t need to, he was breathing and heart was beating, and mouth to mouth for for drowning people
I've been in law enforcement for over 30 years, and I promise you that dealing with injured and deceased children is tough. It gets no easier with time. Gotta love and protect the babies!!❤
Thank you for your service & dedication to your community.
THANK You For Your Service ❤❤
Thank you for serving ❤
I wish my local police were like you. Reality is I live with police that protect child abusers and burglars. Our police don't have a spine like you guys (Melton 3337 police I'm talking about and have footage to back up my mouth)
Thank you good sir/madam (i cant tell from pic sorry)
As a former EMT, the screams may be awful to listen to but man, they're a wonderful noise, because you know your patient has an airway and he's breathing 💔
As they say, in an incident you don’t concern as much about the screaming ones and concentrate on the quiet ones.
I understand but those screams still broke my heart. Poor baby was in so much pain. 😢
I was thinking 'there's no way his brain will be okay after that' and then he started screaming like that. It's messed up. Hopefully I'm wrong about these assumption
You are.
I was thinking the same thing
That cop didnt take any longer than 5seconds to think and decided his life was worth risking for this young boy. I got nothing but respect for this officer.
All cops decided their life was worth risking even the ones that think they can do something outside of the law. The only differences between cops and civilians are training and permission to conduct what needs to be done. Something cop haters often forget they are human they are both good and bad just like everyone else but they made it their job in our society.
I agree with what you said just extending it to everyone with or without a badge that goes above and beyond.
@@youtubecensorspeace1874 that's for the correction. Whilst I 100% with you, you know what I meant!. Lol. Have a great day.
Agreed
Omg, poor baby! Thank God he's ok!!!
Proverbs 8:17

Jesus loves you and calls all of us to repent!!! ! !!! ! !
The fact they went CASIVAC rather then waiting on MEDIVAC shows just how severe it is.
Please explain the difference
@VendettahHelsing CASIVAC - Casualty Evacuation, MEDEVAC - Medical Evacuation. Basically, cops didn't wait for a medical vehicle to arrive, just put the boy in the back of a patrol car and went to the hospital.
@@ShoaritafulThank you for the explanation! I learned something new today. I'm glad the officers did what needed to be done without hesitation. ❤
CASEVAC
They held that poor boy so tight while he cried; you know this wasn’t an easy one, but those officers did a DAMN GOOD JOB saving him.
Cussing rn does not matter
@@dawnhagan6683 Wdym.
@@dawnhagan6683damn? That’s barely a cuss bro
"Don't touch him." "I gotta get him. I gotta get him." You could hear the compassion. Not even a hint of fear. Bold and brave. That's a hero.
I agree with you ❤
99.9% of cops are heroes. Thank you.
Absolutely right
This cop was amazing, we need compassion in our police for sure
The scary part with people being electrocuted is if you try to grab them you will be electrocuted also and you will be umable to let go and excape and so thats quickly how you can go from one person being electrocuted to many
As an electrician , what that cop did took unbelievable courage. Bravo.
as an electrician, can you tell me what he got electrocuted by? i'm incredibly confused watching this
@@jamiesonbrown719 the electricity in the boys body can be transmitted through touch
Yeah I thought there was some kind of gas in the air like fentanyl or something. Now I’m seeing burns on the boys head and hands like something exploded? What happen?
@@jamiesonbrown719 if someone’s being electrocuted and you touch them electricity will go through your body
@@jamiesonbrown719 the cables in the ground going to the house are damaged enough for them to electrify the ground above
To this officer......I don't know you...I don't know your name....what i do know is I'm a father and as a father my worst fear is not being able to protect my child or be there when they are scared or hurt. Your ability to detach yourself from your life, and your safety to make a difference in this s$!t world literally brought me to tears. You sir are a true hero. Thank you for who you are and your service. I hope life repays you.
I genuinely cried.
The mother in me started too cry when he started screaming in pain .. poor baby boy proud of the officers 💙🥺🫶🏼
This had me crying thinking about my kids there always bad people out there in any profession but people like this are the reason why I support police they’re not all bad some are just trying to to the best they can every day and that’s all we can ever ask
@@thedistractedcanadian4355 Definitely! It’s always bad and good out there but these police officers did a good job! An I just can’t watch this video again because I can’t bare too hear that baby boys cry 😢 im glad he’s doing well now though amen 🙏🏼
I’m not even a father and I was crying, something about a little boy in excruciating pain makes me want to just idk.. heartbreaking.
THATS NOT A BABY ARE YOU BLIND?
@@user-kh3kb7hm3sare you dumb….?
The fact that they sat with him in the back seat instead of waiting for the ambulance warms my heart. We need cops like these to be leading the force.
Yes
They were at the hospital by then
The vast majority of cops are like this.
@@mikeabbitt8309that’s completely false. snoring doesn’t necessarily mean a blocked airway. and even then, he had a pulse and was breathing; so why is there a need to perform CPR?? they laid him in best of a position as they could, given he had a backpack on. his face was blurred, so we don’t know if his eyes were opened and moving or not. you can’t rely on EMS to be there. if there is a hospital within driving distance, which for the officers, seemed to only be about 5 minutes, then there is zero use waiting 10 minutes for an ambulance, waiting another 5 to get him loaded on, and then another 5 to drive there. all that does is waste time in which the child could be seen by doctors and nurses with adequate facilities.
They are. Everyone forgets that when they shoot a criminal tho
No one is talking about the officer to his left who said "I'll go with you " and went in with no hesitation. Bravo
He is the one who first got to the boy..the same officer whose video this is.
@@billyjames7343 No at 00:58 you can hear the other officer that grabbed the boy's other ankle say "I'll go with you" right after the first officer said "I gotta get him"
@@jamiezi9158 Sometimes it takes a brave person to encourage another to find it within themselves.
@@HomeByTheSeas For sure, but that's not something I was commenting on here. I was simply pointing out to the person above my comment that the original commenter was correct.
@@jamiezi9158Didn't seem that way by your wording.
speaking as an emergency trauma RN for over 30 years & having worked hand in hand with both police & fire departments….i am so very proud of these officers!! Great job guys!! GOD bless you all & stay safe🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Whatever medical staff person that was assisting with getting him out of the truck... they did not sound very compassionate. 😒
@@ccj.9579agree that was messed up , she annoyed me.
@@ccj.9579I actually didn’t think so at all. She was outside, waiting, ready to help him and she sounded like she was trying to assess the situation she didn’t sound rude at all.
@@alissacook6937 Ok! Well, who was she saying "come on, come on, come on," to? The officers or the patient?...either way... It's ok to have a difference of opinion!
Hey Uvalde Police, take note of this. These are the officers we need
Watch the first officer, he just standing looking at the kid. He's shameful.
@@tedwardbear6795I’ve just watched that officers POV by chance a minute ago. He turned up to the scene no more than 4 seconds before this guy
@tedwardbear6795 Dont be quick to judge, unless you want to Lord to judge you like this
@@tedwardbear6795watched his pov they showed up almost simultaneously and there's a live wire involved you can't save anybody if you get yourself injured so he was accessing the danger
the kid crying in the background really broke me. mad respect.
That was absolutely horrific hearing him scream like that. That literally broke my heart
Quite the opposite for me. My heart was stopped until I heard him crying. Crying means he's alive and breathing.
@@mattjack3983the screaming is what told me the kids going to be alright.
In a situation like that the quiet unconscious ones are the biggest concern. As soon as you hear him snore earlier in the video you know he’s alive. The snore is a scarier sound than the scream honestly.
@BlobGorillaTag I know, I was hoping someone would go and give him a hug or something, poor kid, he was so scared
@whiteouthamstra I agree the snoring sound could be mistaken for a death rattle at a time like that.
I know some people might think it's horrible to hear the child screaming but trust me, as an EMT it's music to our ears. It means that they are breathing, and their airway is not compromised. Glad these officers were there to help him and transport him to get medical help.
Exactly! As an ER nurse, I always said crying is good! Airway, airway, airway!
It just makes this kind of work extra tough. Definitely hard to not bring it home for everyone involved. Even though he was screaming he might have severe brain damage based on the burns to his head 😭. Might have survived but there might be nothing left 😭
could you explain the various states that he went through and how that might relate to getting electrocuted?
Same here as a LEO.
@@braydend9582 Just gotta take things one step at a time. Not everybody makes it home every day, any day where everyone does is a good day. We'll worry about the rest later, can't do anything more now. Its all up to that hospital and some luck.
“It’s okay buddy, just let it out” truly kind officers we need
Can you please tell me whats happening💔
I'm so glad the kid made it. As soon as he started screaming i was relieved as it's actually a good sign.
Those cops are what true policing is all about. Didn't hesitate in a dangerous situation to get the boy to safety & to the hospital.
I wish the kid & all cops involved in this incident the very best in life. You cops are 💯 true heroes 💙 👍
The way that officer was rubbing the child's chest and head and talking to him like it's his own kid 😭 So much compassion. Thank God for these officers
These officers were awarded Medals of Valor this week for their efforts in saving this child’s life.
Very deserved
❤ more should, they do a lot for the people.
Any word on the boy's recovery?
Not enough. Not nearly enough. They will be hearing that kids screams for the rest of their lives.
Good to hear.
What exactly happened here?
The officer caressing the boys hair says everything you need to know about his character...how compassionate he is
We need that man made chief he is a real example of a true leader in life
He wasn't caressing his hair, he was looking at the extent of the damage, he had severe burns on the back of his head.
@@snakezulaThat's still compassion. He isn't really trained to do that, but he did it because he cared
Took the words right out my mouth blessing's to those who all that was involved ❤❤
Does anyone know the name of the officer? I feel like as a society we are really quick to judge cops for bad behavior, but we don't reward the good cops. Positive reinforcement
When that kid started screaming it was almost relieving to hear him alive. That poor kid. I bet he was in so much pain. Those officers deserve the awards they got. That kid is so lucky!
That little boy's screams broke my tender mama heart. These officers are heroes.
An officer lost his job recently for transporting a 2 year old burn victim to the ER in his police car. Which is the saddest thing for such a hero. When someone goes above and beyond for our children, they deserve respect .
Why?
Yeah this sucks... Liability.. this is not right .. the cop was right
They don't want good cops on the street..
Seriously? Society has become so distorted it is absurd.
We should all be protesting for that cop’s job back…. That’s absolutely ridiculous….
"He could still be live"
"I gotta get him"
Whoa that officer has a heart of gold!
Not to mention balls of steel also.
@@tallpaulism they should at least pay for his back surgery later I mean it has to be hard and damaging carrying those huge steel balls around 🤣
They are saying that the wire could still be live
@@AxeltheGSDthe cop said alive I doubt they was talking about the wire that they already knew was live
Parents did amazing with this cop 👮♂️
Took him all of a few seconds to decide he was going to risk his life to save a child. What an absolute legend ❤
His screams were terrible...but thank goodness he had the strength to express them. It was a sign there was hope for his health. Well done those police officers. x
Man hearing that kid scream breaks my heart glad these officers went above and beyond to save this kid
I'm 52 and in tears listening to that poor kid. Officers were so calming in their way with him. Heroes!
It was heartbreaking!! Poor kid, and I hope he will be okay! ❤ These policemen are definitely heroes!!
That baby screaming makes my chest hurt. Thank you first responders for your great care.
i'm a new father with a 1 year old. his screams broke me. i could only hear my son in his voice
Me too, but at the same time I was thanking God, because that meant he's alive! I thought for sure he was gone when the officer first pulled up.
I love how he said “I gotta get him, right?” But he literally wasn’t asking anyone but himself and he knew it, nobody said anything and he answered in his own head “obviously!” Exemplary example of a good human being right here
well cause his mates where only standing there
💯
Isn't it kind of mindblowing? We got to hear someone do what we do everyday and yet barely notice.
We heard him ask his soul for wisdom. We got to see a man check in with Destiny itself and make the decision to take a leap of faith, to choose to be on the side of Life.
Very true
This was the comment I was looking for, honestly not a fan of most cops but this man is a gem of a human. More cops like this and my issues with them go away
As horrible as those screams of extreme fear and pain sound... I bet that sounded like music to the officer's ears. The fact he is alert enough to scream and cry had to be SUCH a relief. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it also broke their hearts to be comforting a child that small with such serious injuries.
💔 His tiny, horribly burned hands are terrible to look at.
his poor little hands. my heart goes out to that kid and the family. i can’t imagine how scared they were
This happened last year. The little boy made it...thank God. Two children came into contact with a live wire in Warren - one of them seriously hurt. The officers who saved an 8-year-old’s life last year, were honored for their valor on September 27, 2023.
Thanks for the update. Being optimistic that Blake will grow healthy and strong as he becomes a man!!! Is there a link to the award ceremony??
@candace8412 Was he able to make a full recovery??
How did they “come in contact with” live wires? Were live wires in the street for a reason or did they go climb up a pole and touch the wires?
There has to be more to the story.
Thank you for the update!
@@webcomment8895 Literally who cares? They're fucking children, after they've been electrocuted isn't the time to try and blame them regardless of how it happened. Shit happens. We don't need to know the rest of the story.
This cop is an example of what it means to be human
No, it's what it means to be a good person.
I'm pretty anti government, but cops like this give me some hope that there's a few good people still in government.
Not many, but this guy's a shining example of one.
@@tedkaczynskiamericanhero3916 Most cops are like this. If presented with a situation where they can help someone like this 99% of cops would do the same thing. There are sooo many examples of cops saving people like this. By choosing a job like this they risk their lives everday just by putting on the uniform.
a man you mean
@@js2sgamer951To be entirely fair, I think there’s more than 1% of cops that abuse the system - or at least, passively take part or let abuse slide in the system in the Us.
However yes, I think it’s sad that so many people get caught in these circlejerks of watching this abuse and assume its the full story. Some cops, at the very least, joined because they wanted to help protect the community. Some would put their lives on the line to protect people, and go through horrible abuse on a daily basis to do so.
The ACAB narrative has always seemed unfairly prejudicial to me, and a bit sad. Just because there IS corruption doesn’t mean you should assume every single person in the force is taking part in it. They aren’t a hive mind. they’re people like us, and yes, the system allows a lot of shit through, and it might need changing, but there’s no reason to project that, without question, onto every single person working as a cop.
To be a man**
jesus christ those screams...haunts me a million times more than any horror movie..all respect to the cop...
As a nurse i never been so happy to hear his screams lord baby boy so glad ur ok now
All the officers piling into a single squad car with the boy to take him to the hospital instead of waiting for an ambulance is absolutely legendary. Props!
yeah except if he was in a deadly arrhythmia and delayed defibrillation could have cost him his life. They should have taken him to meet ALS capable paramedics on the way to the hospital not to mention the pain and torture this child went throug while not recoeving pain and memory management. But i get what they were thinking.
Yeah wait like 45 minutes for an ambo, dispatchers would treat these kinds of call as non priority since the kid was breathing - and not as much critical priority as someone who is in cardiac arrest, so yeah it was a good call for officers to rush him to the hospital. Even though the officer's actions were extremely dangerous and he put his own life at risk as well. Now I would like to know how the fuck something like that happened and who is liable to get sued for all they got - city ? why was power not cut off - events like these are extreme emergencies, and calls for a crew to come and cut power. For high voltage lines you can get electrocuted within around 33 feet
@@jimmydandy9364that’s actually not true. Systems typically have tiers for priority vs non priority. Priority being code 3 and the other code 2. Code three runs are Code 3 Runs regardless of nature. Just because he’s breathing does not mean they would divert a unit for a cardiac arrest UNLESS the cardiac arrest (or any other priority call) was closer to that responding unit than the original call.
Its Michigan.... Same clown governor that doesn't like safe drinking water for HER citizens @@jimmydandy9364
It was the right thing to do for this call, seconds count. That being said, it was also a horrible risk the first two who grabbed the kid took and unfortunately I highly doubt that the kid survived or would not be in a vegetative state.
I say this as a first responder.
This video should also come with strong graphic warnings, censoring the kids face alone is not sufficient.
This officer should be promoted. Very brave and true love for humanity
Nah. Cops like him need to be on the streets with the community. Not some desk job
What happens the next day when the same cop has to use deadly force on a car jacker who was about to shoot him? Protests, riots after they find him not guilty? Probably.
On Wednesday Corp. Det. Daniel Rose and Officer David Chapman were honored with the Valor Award for their heroism.
@@ktkt1825 Well deserved!
@@peteranserin3708SMH
The way that man rubbed that boys head 😢 that man has a soul.
That had to feel like the longest car ride for that poor boy and the officers. I can't even imagine how hard it was for the officers to hear him crying and knowing that he's in a lot of pain and there's nothing can do but get him to the hospital as quick as possible. I have to say they went above and beyond to get that lil boy to the hospital. They didn't wait for an ambulance and they tried to make the ride as smooth and quick as possible and then they sat in the back with him to hold him and try to comfort him. We definitely need more cops like this.
The boy screaming in pain is the best sound you can hear. He is conscious, breathing, and has a heartbeat.
Well that is an odd comment...🤔although I suppose it somehow works.
This is actually true. In medical you always wanna hear the screams and complaints. That means your brain is comprehending.
As an EMT for 8 years you are correct
@@incogspectator3042 as messed up as it is he's right he can still feel pain he's awake he's aware of what's going on he's breathing he could very well be in a coma he could lose the ability to feel pain which would suck hell he could lose the ability to use his limbs
@@incogspectator3042 same with babies and people in combat. Hearing them scream in pain is a greater alternative to silence.
The cop who risk his life to save the boy is a true hero. I broke down crying hearing the poor boy screaming in pain.
Those cries of agony & fear hit me deep down in my heart I didn’t even realize I was pacing until the end of the video I had that awful lump in your throat feeling & still do. I hope he’s able to make a full recovery
@@kerstieamiya4880yeah and seeing the electrical burn injuries to his hand and head omg. I can only imagine the amount pain he was in. hopfully they were able to give him sedeatives quickly.
Everything said above is exactly what I thought.
Me too
❤
Y’all softer than a godamn Titty 😂😂
Man, those few seconds he's standing there looking at that horrible situation. Followed by that deep sigh and then just deciding "I gotta get him." Can't be easy. Respect!
hearing the kid cry broke my heart so happy the cops immediately went to save the kid
His injuries were so severe. He had burns on his hands,head, back and feet. When he began to scream, I felt so much relief. That meant his breathing was working better and he was becoming aware.I am glad the officers did a scoop and run to get him to the hospital faster. Bless that child and I pray his injuries are healing and he is mentally healing. Those officers put themselves on the line to save him. Electricity is such a fearsome thing.
I was going to note the same about the screams being a bitter sweet sign of progress. The silence in the beginning and then gargling was more scary. Not saying I wish that pain on anyone but his responses towards it in the car were a better sign. Hope he can fully recover
I was once shocked by an outlet and it was the worse feeling ever. I can't imagine going through this. I feel so bad for him and sad. I'm thankful he is alive thanks to the officers, literally risking it happening to them too. I saw the child's hands and back of the head and it looked burnt. I hope he recovers in full.
Alright you seem to know a lot about this so wth happened?? I mean i heard that “where’s the wire” at the beginning but can you tell me anything else?
Don't fear electricity, learn about it.
@samstromberg5593 look up the news story use search words "warren county 8 year old electrocuted"
Officer running his hands through his hair was a beautiful thing to see. A fathers love with a child hurt. Mad respect for that officer risking his life to grab him. ❤❤❤ I see a lot of heated comments. If you read my sentence correctly. A fathers love is a word to describe how a man shows love to a child. Doesn’t have to mean he is a parent. Just as a woman who shows love to a child despite having kids of her own. Be kind to one another. This about the love a stranger showed a child he never met, in a fatherly way.
When was it mentioned the officer was a father? Can't a person be compassionate for a other human being despite not having kids?
@@InVinoVeratasthe officer was interviewed and his direct quote said “Having kids, you just get scared, and you have to react."

Prayers for him. He started to seize. I hope his hands are ok
As a father I shed a tear because he didn’t even think twice. He said “I have to get him”
My god these cops, bless them all ❤❤
Much respect for all of the officers involved in saving this boy
If he is not forced to see this again in his dreams, he is a lucky man. Normally, trauma like this isn't soon shed. Praying for peaceful sleep for first responders.
I think I am going to have issues with that boy's screams. I feel so badly for this young fella. @@valkyrie1066
Gotta love it when the police who are literally being paid with our collective tax dollars to protect and serve us actually do their job correctly and without bias and save a life rather than act as the judge, jury, and executioner and take one. Strange that we don't respond and treat firefighters, EMT, and medical professionals even remotely the same way when they do their job. The fact that we specifically feel the need to celebrate the police when they actually do their job says all there is to be said.
@@cookingwithmonty Agreed
This must be promoted more to show that you are friendly, not scary.
AND OFC Honesty
Poor baby. I also have mad respect for that officer that didn’t even think before going to save him and take him to the hospital. This is what we need leading us, not the officers thinking they’re above all and stick to their buddies side.
Both officers are the kind we need! That poor child. I can't imagine the terror and pain he was in
the amount of compassion that was shown to this kid was touching. i wish there were more people like them in the world.
There are. I used to be one of them, but the public made my professional and personal life too hard due to media and other factors. I quit. I got tired of it. Most did.
There are! It’s just that people like to provoke like toddlers wondering what they can get away with and as SOON as you rub a cop the wrong way, it’s game-over for your “true” intentions.
YOU can be one then!!
Of course there is an amount of compassion being shown for a kid being electrocuted you psychopath. Your social media algorithms take you to dark places because you have a dark soul, there are plenty of loving and caring people that are here to help those in need. Treat others as you would like to be treated. When you see someone in need you help them, one day it will be YOU
There are more people like him. No wishing needed. Just focus on you being one of them too! ❤
This was making me tear up. The way he talked to the kid while he was in immense pain, after pulling him out, wow. These are the cops we need.
THAT IS NOT THE SOUND OF BREATH YOU MORONS. not until he is screaming in agony by a true miracle no thanks to these idiot cops . There are soooo many things wrong here. This is one of those feel good civil servant stories that departments run with for good publicity. I'm not taking anything away from what the cops did, it was in deed a dangerous situation, but we simply don't give them the training they need!
1. That boy is NOT breathing. Multiple cops say "he's breathing' They report to the dispatcher that he's breathing. He is NOT breathing or snoring. He is agonal breathing which means his brain is being injured due to a lack of oxygen and it's a reflex. It's the bodies last ditch effort to get oxygen to the brain Someone in agonal breathing is VERY close to death. People in agonal breathing often are in cardiac arrest, or suffered a stroke, drowning. suffocation, electrocution, drug overdose... What they needed to do was check for a pulse and start CPR and/or ventilations. The fact that he came out of agonal breathing on his own is a miracle.
. Police shouldn't transport. Now I don't know what the EMS response time is in that area, but in most cities with an EMS system it is better to wait for EMS than transport in a police cruiser. Usually patients die in the cruiser on the way to the hospital. The news says it took them 4 minutes to get to the hospital. The ambulance probably could have gotten to the scene in under 4 minutes and started medical intervention sooner. Also if the patient goes into arrest on the way to the hospital in the back of an ambulance they have medical equipment. Oxygen, D-fib, medications, etc. The police cruiser has none of that. You can't even perform CPR in a cop car Police should almost NEVER transport a patient.
3. This took place at the corner of Charlotte and Sharrow streets. Check out Google street view. In the video the wire is four feet off the floor running from the white sign on the right to possibly the porch of the red house on the left. You can clearly see the wire in contrast with the white house on the left. Also if you look past the white sign on the right you can see the parking lot is also taped off with caution tape. Clearly the wire is down in the parking lot, runs across the sign and over to the red house. The boy is no longer touching the wire. The wire is not touching the street. I highly doubt that cop got shocked. The officer grabbing the other ankle sure didn't. Makes no sense.
disgusting that the city allowed the electric to still be on when there was a downed wire near the school no crossing guards and no one there to tell the kids going to school that the city is garbage and hasn't shut off electrical to the downed wire from at least 12 hours prior PLENTY OF TIME TRASH HUMANS secondly THIS BOY WAS IN AGONY THAT THE COPS WILL NEVER COMPREHEND NEITHER WILL MOST OF US. The also probably caused brain damage because they didn't do basic stuff that we leaned in school as kids about life saving. Did anyone check for a pulse? He was dying and as this post I am about to copy paste here states IT IS A MIRACLE THAT THESE COPS DID NOT KILL HIM his brother is the hero who used his book bag to knock the wire away out of his hands the boys were walking to school they had no idea that there was a downed wire they jist tried to get to school f everyone in this town except those two boys❤
I never get teary-eyed... this beat me 😢
we have cops liek this, but you never hear about them because they dont make the news
This is how most cops are. They get a bad reputation from the media.
@@NotTheMothManseek help
Ok. I think after reading through the comments, I’ve pieced together what happened. There was a low hanging power line. Based on the severe burns to his fingers, it appears he grabbed the power line. The continued shock her was getting was because of his proximity to the electrical field being generated by the high voltage power line. This is also what shocked the cop, but he was able to pull the boy away. The boy did survive this, and the cop received a medal of valor.
I was scrolling comments trying to figure it out, I wasn't sure how the wire hurt him so badly, mostly because I don't know a lot about live wires or the power they carry. Thank you!
😢 the incredible amount of compassion, understanding, and outright love for a child that needed them in those moments. It was meant to be that these officers were the ones to answer the call that day. Im sure it was a little comfort to the childs parents that these officers seemed to treat him just like they would if it was their own (though im sure the officers were more calm in this situation). To the officers that helped this boy you were more than police officers. You were a blessing, guardian angles, saviors, SUPER HEROES!!
❤❤
That poor child's screams absolutely broke my heart.
I know one of the hardest things for me is to see one in pain especially the younger ones.
Screams mean he’s alive. The silence was deafening to me. I felt relieve and sadness that he was in so much pain and fear, but it could’ve been so much worse. I’m not religious so I won’t call it a miracle, but man is he tough. The burnt hands as he laid there with them up over his head with me I think. I wish the entire family a speedy recovery, not just physically but mentally seeing your brother go thru that is traumatic.I couldn’t imagine the emotions the entire family will struggle with.
@@Sara-xk1nsit is a miracle only God can do
@@Zee87673 God electrocuted this kid. People perform miracles not Gods. Brave human beings put their lives at risk to save him. Skilled doctors did what they could to treat him.
@@Zee87673 Nah, God most likely doesn't exist
Him screaming was both heartbreaking (because of the pain he might be enduring) and reassuring because of him coming back to his senses. That officer did a commendable job.
Yeah, I had to keep telling myself that while he's screaming you know his lungs are fully working and that it's keeping his heart pumping, which is the organ I'd be most worried about. But then I also was hoping he'd have longer periods of his body passing him out so he could have breaks from the pain 😢 I know I welcome passing out when I'm in intense pain and I've never experienced this level of physical trauma so can't imagine
He was so close to death when they got there. The rattle from the fluid in his lungs.
Did the boy make full recovery?
@@betsyb2256yep, the death rattle. The most horrific sound a person can hear. My sister did it in her final moments.

@gawrgarrz some of our sons are that tall while still in elementary school. For us moms, we refer to all kids below a certain age as "baby". You can't tell age by height/size, and he was worthy of the nurturing he received, regardless of age.
Wow, my heart weeps for the pain he is experiencing and for the great officers who sacrificed their lives to save this young child. Tremendous respect for the officers.
❤ I love how they treated him as one of their own and risked their own lives❤ GOD BLESS ALL OF THEM
It only took about 5 mins to get to the hospital but holy crap it felt like an eternity. Phenomenal work from the officers!
There’s things in life you never forget as a cop. Hell, as any person who’s been in an emergency situation. These officers will never forget the sound of that screaming.

If those pigs were doing their job and making sure children didn't cross the line this wouldn't have happened. Those pigs should be charged with attempted murder
Dudes finger tips are blown off! That cop is the definition of brave. “I gotta get him”. Salute sir, you are a real one.
Yeah I was like he looks alright to then seeing his hands 😢 and hair, so sad... probably permanent damage hope hes okay
@@pkrent3461Hunter S Thompson once described one of the Hells Angels getting struck by lightning. Said it blew the tip of his toes, fingers AND his dick 😬. Hunter wasn’t struck but was near by and it knocked him down by just being close.
@@pkrent3461besides from some scars, he made a full recovery. This happened a year ago
His heel too where the arc would have gone to ground 😢
Look again- he's still got all his digits intact but they're burned a bit. They're not swelling up like balloons (I burned my hand pretty bad once, and that's what happens) so his hands should be fine in a few weeks. It sure stings like a bitch, though, and he's just a poor little kid.
They took no time to waste and didn't even wait for an ambulance. This is respect. They really tried their best to save him, to the point where they even ignored another theft from the radio.
Love that they didn't wait for ambulance. Truly treated this like it was someone they loved
100'% agree.
yeah I think it was great too im just wondering if it was better to have the ambulance administer morphine or something for his excruciating pain
Yes
yeah the white police only
@@asun41966my thoughts too thinking of the friction on his burns being in the car or anything being worsened😭 but praying those minutes saved were most detrimental!
P.s. this kid & his 10 yr old brother that used his book bag to try to help him away from the line are also both brave & both heroes!
Why were they over there? Looks like the area was already tied-off ..

The screams were from the Mom
Thank you for that update! As a mother my heart was racing!

I can’t even imagine waking up in all that pain with no clue where you are or what happened. The kids gotta be terrified. Thank you to those officers who were quick and got him where he needed to be safely.
Less than 10 minutes, from pulling up to the scene, to having the boy in ER. Bless these men and women.
that's one of the pros of american healthcare system. No matter how many people complain, we make sure we're ready for any emergency. Any other country that kid is dead
I couldn’t believe in less than 10 minutes you got the call got to the kid, saved him and got him to the hospital
the ems was prob there as the cops got there and were on stand by. At least where i live, its very believable there was an EM capable facility within 10 min, especially if they had a heli at the scene@@williamdenis2637
I love that they just loaded him in the cop car and didn’t wait for an ambulance. Waiting longer would have torture
@@zackwalker664When the ETA of the ambulance is the same as the drive time to the hospital it's a no brainer - load him and go.
The fact that they weren't going to wait for EMT shows you how desperate they were to save this boy. Respect to all the officers and may the boy make a speedy recovery.
From what i am seeing i don't think you are totally correct. What would be more accurate to say is the guy who's body cam we are watching wasint going to wait. By the looks of it other cops already showed up and even had the time to put down caution tape. I wouldnt be too hard on them consider the danger here but the only people who really deserve credit here are the two cops who decided to put there life's at risk to save that kid. He didnt set up tape he said right away "i got to get him" and then he did it.
Hes a real officer for the people ive never seen them take someone in there own car .
@billfred9411 yeah I totally agree. I wonder how long that boy was in the water and how strong the current was
@@billfred9411 yup, well said.
Caution tape was already there according to the first officers body cam. Which means SOMEONE knew there was a down wire and left it energized. I hope they are prosecuted.

he also had some on the top of his head
it's really weird .. why would he just grab the wire? was this suicide attempt?

I was about his age when I got electrocuted by a power line. Sever burns to my hands, (entrance), feet (exit), and where the pipe hit me in the abdomen. Spent two months in the hospital. I know the pain and fear all to well. Hope the little dude recovers fully. This is the exact reason I went into medicine, the care I received could not be paid back any other way.

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

I think most cops would have acted the same way. The media picks out a very small few and tells you it’s all of them.
They'll never show this on the news. People don't care about heroes doing what they're supposed to do. They only care about when heroes mess up or the wolves hidden who pretend to be heroes. People and news media are both evil.
I follow so many bodycam video channels and there truly are so many amazing police officers out there who truly care about the people ❤
