Heartwarming Story of Drug Addict & Officer Who Saved Her Life

[eric001]

I thought I'd share something I found on AOL that is actually good to see.
This story, at least to me, shows one very important way in which "To Serve And Protect" is still present in today's society. Kudos to the officer involved!

It's a nice story and it happens every day all over this country, it's just not reported much. But, it's not what most on this website want to see because it's positive.

Good for the officer. I'm glad that after two near death experiences she finally learned her lesson too

I liked it not only because it's a positive story (very rare indeed in the media nowadays seemingly), but because it showed that a person can indeed find their way out of even the deepest emotional holes. Obviously, without someone who cared enough to save her from her bad choices, it wouldn't have mattered. I thought she is a sort of poster child for addiction recovery and life repurposing...and the officer is a living example of folks in blue still being able to care about those they save, regardless of how much human nastiness they have to deal with on a daily basis. Win-win all around.
