He had just finished his shift and was on his way home, so he could have left her there, knowing that an ambulance was on its way.

Instead he stayed and tried to revive the child whilst waiting. When the ambulance was clearly delayed he showed compassion and took the mother and child to the hospital A&E department himself.

As a result a permanent bond has been formed between the two families, one black the other white.
Fair point, But no one is saying all police are bad just that if you’re black you’re more likely to be mistreated by the police.

The protests aren’t anti police they’re anti racism. This one amazing act doesn’t change that.

Just watched a brilliant film called just mercy about a death row lawyer with jamie Foxx. I’d recommend it to anyone, really good film.
