Heroic New Jersey cops form a human net to save a mom and her 2 daughters from house fire

Here’s a great story about cops saving lives.

More from ABC News:

Several police officers formed a human net to catch a woman and her two young daughters as they jumped from their burning home in southern New Jersey.

Camden County police said the fire on Atlantic Avenue in Camden was reported around 4:15 p.m. Wednesday, when residents notified two officers who happened to be on patrol in the area. They told them the woman and her children, ages 4 and 7, were trapped on the home’s second floor.

Two other police officers soon arrived at the home, and all four gained entry by kicking open the front door. They tried to find the family, but thick smoke and heavy flames hampered their efforts.

One officer collapsed and was helped out of the home as another officer shouted for the mother to take her children to a rear window, police said.

Six other county officers who had responded to the scene circled beneath the window and locked arms, creating a human net. They encouraged the mother and her daughters to jump and safely caught all three.

I thought all cops were malicious racists? I guess there weren’t enough peaceful protesters around to save the family, they were too busy annoying people with their stupid “die-ins.”

They probably shot a couple of unarmed black youths who were on their way to choir practice afterwards to make up for it.

Obama’s response?

“The cops acted stupidly.”

To be a cop in Camden, NJ is like combat duty.

These cops exemplified the finest traits of the police force by their actions.

They were probably safer running into a burning building than writing a traffic ticket in Camden.
