The Medal of Valor is LAPDs highest award. Cops aren't eligible for military honors, nor should they be.

She should get the Presidential Metal of Freedom, which is the highest civilian honor we can give.

For doing her job? A Medal of Valor takes care of her heroism in the line of duty.

Edit: Seems we have a bunch of people that don't understand how awards work and just want them handed out like candy.

Her job isn't to be ambushed, but yea, Medal of Valor is the right call.

I mean, they give the medal of freedom to authors, actors, artists, and musicians. It's just an "atta boy" from the president. I think the Medal of Valor is more "valuable" in terms of the heroism it takes to deserve it.

Yep. We had lots of E6 and above get bronze and silver stars, NONE with V device for Valor. We just laughed at them for getting the Army Participation Award. They did NOTHING to deserve the awards, they just showed up.

Same with lower enlisted with ARCOMs and MSMs. The medals mean nothing if everyone gets one.

Just because you think you deserved one doesn't mean they didn't hand them out to people who didn't. We had a guy get a purple heart for a ricochet bullet that was just a scratch.

You got multiple non V awards because you had a rank, thats all. You were either E6 and above or an officer that did jack shit else than show up on a deployment.

Edit: seems i struck a nerve with people that got awards that didn't deserve them!

Ya’lls fingers sure do have a lot of shit talkin to do.

Seems to me arguing never accomplished much but made someone sound bitter.

I have ego, I throw that shit away every day and thank God all of us are here to be bitter together.

Tell you what, when the IED split my Stryker in two and seconds before that I heard a voice tell me to move my leg - I could of deserved that Purple Heart oh so much more, but what I won’t regret is being here to make a difference... and a stand for doing the right thing in the presence of others or in the absence of authority.

Be good to each other, our fallen are looking at us from within and above. Give two fucks elsewhere - shake hands - focus your energy on the enemy. We don’t have time for sweet bitterness in this foxhole.

Such luxuries are reserved for the dead.

Fair point, it would simply be a chance for the president to recognize her in front of the nation as a role model..The award wouldn't be the point as much as it would be our President recognizing our officers when most in the Dem party won't say shit..

While I think her actions are commendable, I think you’re underestimating what it takes to be considered for a Medals of Honor.

Medal of valor would be if she did that three times and smoked Soros/the head of blm while she was at it

God have mercy.

I really hope the guy shot twice in the head is going to be okay. By okay, I mean not totally fucked. How horrible.

No. Medal of Valor is for police. Medal of Honor is for military only, and it should remain so in my opinion.

The cops know who and where people who know information can be found.

Back in the day, they used to fuck people's shit up just to get answers. Criminals used to know never to mess with the cops or risk a purge.

But I think we should purge the mainstream media and those fancy college kids at Silicon Valley first. They're the beating drum that drives the mob into a frenzy.

So in the late 80’s early 90’s the government was trying to crack down on the drug problem. So they created a task force that was pretty much above the law. The problem was- was they got out of control and started shaking down criminals and became criminals themselves. I think it’s what inspired Training Day.

Anyway, an image that I’ll never forget is the task force raided some criminal’s house. They were looking for a name, and they knew this guy knew. After he was cuffed, they drew a bullseye on a door. They said “give us this guy’s name or we’ll put your head through that bullseye.”

The perp wouldn’t answer so they did it. They smashed his head through the door. After that, the perp gave up the name. Really violent and intense, but it got the name.

This image is from the LAPD Deputy attempted assassination. It's been all over this site for a couple days.

I understand the frustration of not knowing the reference, but this one is widespread enough that I am sure OP just thought most people would know where it came from.

She performed first aid after HER jaw was shot or his? Thats nuts. To think our police here just stomp on peoples heads for not wearing masks.

She was shot in the jaw and her partner was shot in the head. I think they both also has other wounds to their arms and torso.

EvanOnTheFly 10 points ago +10 / -0

She was shot through the jaw, her partner was shot twice in the head. This is the LAPD shooting. you can imagine the videos and photos coming out literally show them drenched in blood like the front of her shirt is black with blood. I don't know how she hung on for as long as she did.

Her jaw. That's why the dispatcher can't understand her. Sounds like she's trying to talk and just making "Uwhawha" sounds because her jaw isn't working.

These are the two cops in Compton that got ambushed and shot a week or two ago. A kid or dwarf ran up to a cruiser that was parked and unloaded a gun on both officers.

Can't do the Medal Of Honor, as it's reserved for actions in the line of military duty..She certainly is deserving of Presidential Freedom Medal, that is the highest civilian honor that can be given by the federal government..

Unpopular opinion, but women don't belong in the armed forces, in Police, nor in fire fighting. They're not physically capable of performing those jobs, it's just biology and physics. Sure, this one did the right thing for her partner, but she should have never been in that position to begin with. Women are nurturers, by God's design.

I agree.

But this woman was a hero. She stepped up and did what she had to do to get her partner to safety, and that is all that matters in this context. Downplaying what she did is shitty.
