Cops Rescue Citizens
- Two Chicago police officers kicked in doors to rescue South Shore apartment building residents from an early morning fire.
The Grand Crossing District officers were responding to a call about a fight in the area about 1 a.m. when they saw smoke coming from the top of the building at 7241 S. Stony Island Ave.
Officer Christopher Davis said he and partner Kristopher Krizka kicked in the main entrance door and began evacuating residents from the four-story building. - The officers saved their lives, said Julius Riley, a second-floor resident.
"If it wasn't for the Chicago Police Department, there's no telling where we would be right now," he said. "We have a woman in a wheelchair on the upper floor. They carried her down the stairs and got her out. If it weren't for them the whole building would have burned down as well."
A job very well done.

Sounds like front page news to me, but this is Shitcago so it'll probably be a blurb on page 17. Nice job officers.

unselfishness of these two
Police officers ?
Great Job !!!
Two great officers
True War Story : I remember around 25 years ago a p.o. who was in the Acadamy with me was sent to Englewoods' for his field training afterwards. I ran into him a year or two later at the medical section and his hands were bandaged up, "What happened?" I asked. " I on-viewed a building on fire with people yelling out of the window...."' Wow,you burned your hands in the fire saving those people?" "No, I burned them trying to hold the door shut."
Its not about being heros but quick wit that made this job fun.

Hey asshole, shut the fuck up! These guys did what they believed in their hearts to be the right thing. Who the fuck are you to second guess them or talk smack about what they did? They saved human lives. If that was my family in that building I would pray that someone as brave as these officers was there to save them. I bet if it was your family you'd also feel the same way. You're one of the reasons this department is so messed up. People do good and all you can do is talk shit! You make me sick!
Great job officers!
