To be a police officer, you have to be incredibly thick-skinned and be as emotionally tough as you are physically, but you also have to know when to be gentle and calming for someone who has just been traumatized.
When a Brazilian police officer witnessed a little boy get hit by an oncoming car, his instincts kicked in and he immediately called for an ambulance and laid down on the street to comfort the boy as they waited together.
The young boy was chasing after his dog when he darted out into the street and was hit by a car in Sao Paulo. The officer immediately put the boy in the recovery position and supported his head with his hand in case his spine had been injured.
While waiting together, the policeman tried to distract the boy by promising him an exciting ride after the ambulance got there. “We’ll take you for a nice ride in our car,” the officer said.
Finally, the ambulance arrived and took the boy to the hospital to check if he had been badly injured. Luckily, he wasn’t injured as much as expected, and he was released home to recover some more.
