Thx for being a HERO!
LOL! she didn't need to hit it head on.
Thank you for saving the residents and runners here in Tampa Bay! FHP would give her a new vehicle… not Chevrolet.
This is what we call a hero, God bless you, thanks for saving so many soul
She is the definition of a herione!
And they say Michelle Obama looks like a man
Now SHE is a hero… a REAL HERO
My hero!!!! saved many!!
Hari Jumat.Jam.20:57 Tgl.11/3/2022/.Halim Talafuka,Allahumma Amiin.@$#.
I sane person should say loose your job because that's not sane
USA i hate u more with each day
Yea, cops train for that.. what a stupid question.
The homeboy became the hero
i know another good cop…in ny….first name is noel…one of the best friends i ever had
that cop is a keeper
Doing her job, protect and serve
With pay.
ok
They will soon deny her benefits 😏
Omg that cops is an Angel, she knew the potential and risked her life to stop that lady,, id never do that especially she had her own family
Poor woman, looks like her face took a head on into a few walls well before the crash
There ARE a few good people in Florida!!!
Florida never disappoints
Beautiful heart. Very selfless. May God continue to bless and protect her and her family .
Salute
God bless you Officer
Huge respect to lady police officers 👏
Quick thinking worked for the officer, that's why drinking is prohibited and so dangerous for people around you and yourself
Oh what a humble woman to say that she has never put her life before someone else. She has done it for over 26 years. God bless her and hers. 👍
P.T.D.S. disability pay for life.
.09…. ?? She was more than drunk then…..
Selfless hero: definition, this woman.
a true hero trooper.. that female drunk driver had no remorse whatsoever… thanks to Republican run Florida to let white drunk driver like her to walk away free
Now I love it even more!
Florida, no surprise. Seems the news shows the trash comes from either Fla or New Jersey on the East Coast lol 😂
American Hero 🦸♀️
I had to deal with a drunk black guy at the KFC where I live.
Just letting her hit and destroy the runners would of made for a much better story for the world news. such a wasted opportunity. They could of talked about this for a whole 2 -3 days until the next big event. Surly a white cop has shot a black thug somewhere?
🐊 😢 🙄
Here in Florida since 1966 never seen that before , we need more officers like her , tough as nails to sit and take that hit . Your life , your health on the line , give her a bonus $ and time off .
What do you mean that you never hear about the good cops?
She's a total hero but the trouper car is not her "own vehicle". It's a state paid for vehicle.
Thank you for your service!
