This is the dramatic moment two New Jersey cops pulled a man from a truck moments before it exploded into a fire ball.

Trooper Robert Tarleton was conducting an unrelated traffic stop on Monday afternoon on the northbound Interstate 287 in Bridgewater Township when he heard the truck hit a guardrail and become engulfed in flames.

Tarleton drove to the scene of the crash, where State Police Lt. Edward Ryer, who was headed home from work, was trying to rescue the driver.

Yep. It is an amazing story. The guy would be dead if the cops hadn’t pulled someone else over.

Just another example of turn left you live turn right you die randomness of life.

What would we all do without men like this?

Thank God above for such men.

“What would we all do without men like this?”

Replace them with women, and gays...per the Democrat formula.

It’s really true.

The Left is now pretty much fully possessed and run by the spirit of antichrist which (in a few decades IMO) will usher in seven years of the most horrific terror, bloodshed, and death that the earth has ever seen.

Meanwhile, before it all comes crashing down, that Redeemed part of the Right which embodies Christians and the Spirit of Christ will be taken up to Heaven and a Great Marriage Celebration. Can’t hardly wait.

I understand the sentiment and generally agree, but when you see the footage of that shootout in Jersey City (at the kosher supermarket) you can plainly see a black female cop leave cover to drag a wounded cop to safety - well done!

Good for her...I purposely left out blacks, because I don’t have an issue with them (or Hispanics) - they certainly more courage than I would likely have. Regarding women and gays - I was just looking at physical strength, relative to men.

That’s where I take issue with those policies; they endanger people, and there are enough YouTube clips out there of female cops going down from one punch to make it clear.

Exactly - they’re put in harm’s way to make some sort of a sick social point.

Maybe with this Coronavirus stuff going on, our society will get past playing these first-world games and learn to go back and focus on fundamentals, such as making sure that you only have tough men making road stops and arrests.

Probably won’t happen, but I do expect our society to be much different (and the world to be much different, for that matter) after this is over.

It’s not to make some sick social point (though they’ll say that to silence opposition); the real purpose is to re-distribute taxpayer wealth - especially to minority communities. The urban dumps in NJ don’t raise nearly enough revenue to pay their affirmative-action gubmint worker caste, so the rest of the state foots the bill - and we pretend assimilation is working.
