This is Sgt. Majorie Jordan of the Jersey City PD. Sgt. Jordan abandoned her position of cover and ran out into the open to the aid of her officer that was shot in the shoulder. She assisted him to his feet and got him to safety, all while taking heavy gunfire. @EmersenLee pic.twitter.com/cMbS1nrW3k

That is a shocking video. So much blood is really jarring.
Remember this the next time you hear someone trash law enforcement officers.
Classic Jewish כפוי טובה. Same logic applies to teachers, parents, doctors, anyone but the Chevra Kadisha’s chesed shel emes. And maybe they do it for the glory of the Zayin Adar banquet!
Rabbi Yisroel Reisman’s Weekly Chumash Shiurim Rabbi Reisman – Parshas Vayechi 5774
In Parshas Vayechi we find in Rashi in 47:29 the idea of Chessed and Emes. Chessed She’osim Im Hameisim Hu Chessed Shel Emes. When someone does Chessed with someone who has passed away that is true Chessed because he knows that he will never be able to be paid back. Why does Rashi say it here, the idea of Chessed and Emes is found earlier in the Torah in Parshas Chaya Sara where Eliezer says in 24:49 (ViAta Im Yeshchem Osim Chesed Viemes Es Adoni). When he asks that Rivka be given as a wife to Yitzchok he says that is (Chesed Viemes). Again, it seems to be a Chessed that is Emes. How does that fit with what Rashi says here? Rashi’s words seem to only fit in the case of a Meis and not otherwise.
