A Florida teen who was processed into the Ft. Lauderdale Police Department Booking Facility is set to be commended later this month for heroically helping to save the life of an officer who collapsed while booking him, an incident that was captured on surveillance camera.

According to the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, on Sept. 10, 2014, Officer Franklin Foulks was in the process of booking 17-year-old Jamal Rutledge, when the cop collapsed.

As the video shows, Rutledge "immediately began to kick the security fence and yell to alert officers in the area," police said in a news release.

It happened back in September of 2014, but I just stumbled upon the article and had not heard about the incident.... feel good stories are hard to come by now a days so it made me smile...

Great story. Hope this kid gets his life straight. He was arrested on a probation violation. He was an probation for a burglary.

But...he showed a great lesson. He didnt resist arrest. And he obviously doesnt personally hate the cop who is enforcing the law. Sure he may not like the arrest.

But...cops and people who commit crimes..can still treat each other with civility. Both sides can learn that lesson.

And just like most cops arent bad....MOST criminals dont resist arrest or attack cops. Most comply...and end up being shown leniancy in our court system. At least in their first couple offenses.

How do you know he didn't resist arrest?
