Post Nurse Imprisoned After Rescuing Police Officer from Burning Vehicle

And this is WHY people do not want to get involved to help victims.

No mention of if or where the gun was actually found .... gee, if that's all she wanted, she could have grabbed a gun while they were knocked out and gone home and left them in the car ....

Makes you really wonder about the amount of brains some people actually have ....

And the police wonder why people don't like to help them. Try being nice to the public for a change and maybe they'll be nice to you in return.

Not all of them are that way, lest someone think I believe that. Most policemen that I know are hard working and they do a job for which they get little reward. I'm grateful, but there are bad apples all over.

I would like to know if that gun was ever found, possible somebody else took it from the officer after she pulled them out of the car?

Weird story

Why would she pull them out of the car just to take their gun? Couldn't she just reach in and take it?

Still, I'm glad she got a nice settlement for it. I'd want more than $7 mil for being locked in jail for 10 months.

yes infact I would guss she could have gotten more if she was in a district like NY DC or LA. The point is she should never been in jail in the first place. If the police had done their jobs properly then this would not have happened.
