(There are good cops that exist in this world. Consistently I see law enforcement bad mouthed etc. I figured it right to illuminate proper conduct.)

Alert Buffalo (NY) police officers and firefighters were credited today with rescuing a 23-month-old boy who suffered an apparent allergic reaction Wednesday afternoon.

Izaiah White's parents were rushing him to the hospital, when they flagged down police near Elmwood and Auburn avenues shortly after 1 p.m. Wednesday.

Northwest District Officer Jose Vega, a 22-year veteran of the force, began mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, aided by Officers Derrick Ferrell and Valerie Stover-Kelly.

Engine 37 firefighters responded and took over the rescue efforts, led by Lt. Michael Lynch, who was helped by Firefighters Gary Schultz, David Denz and Robert Carnevale.

The boy was taken to Women and Children's Hospital, where he remains in critical condition today, police said.

The boy stopped breathing twice before even reaching the Cops. He's a little fighter.

Sometimes that could probably work.

But good job for the firemen and policemen. Hope the kid's all well.

Yeah, we/I spend a lot of time ripping bad cops a new one... so this is good in the interest of perspective. I'm glad the police helped someone.

I'll tell you what. After 9/11, I will never allow one bad officer to taint my opinion of all the others! :)
