The amazing thing is all it took for the officer to remember was the kid saying, “1997.” That shows you how much of an impact that made on that officer. Over the length of his career and all the things he’s seen and done, he still remembers that day so well. Awesome.
It does impact them hard. In 2007 i was in brazillian jiu-jitsu class. I asked my buddy whoes a fire fighter how his weekend was. He said "not good, i lost 2 people" an elderly lady died from being hit and a little boy drown in their pool. He was the first on scene and couldnt save them. We just sat in the corner in our gi's and talked for the first half of the class.
In that moment, he wasn't hugging a grown man. He was embracing that little 5 year old kid, and every day since he wondered what happened to him. Seeing him as an adult reinforced the life changing action he took
@@Matt-pd2cq Maybe so (astute of you, if so) but maybe the officer read much more in the dudes eyes; eyes don't can't lie when they are in a moment like that for '97 drowning baby". :)
when he puts his chin into his shoulder and tightens his grip... that's love. that's humanity in all its glory. that's the only thing that really matters - love
Being someone who deals with crippling clinical depression & anxiety every day, seeing these types of videos, reminds me of how much love & beauty there stull is in this world! ❤️
I was once on a family vacation when i was 8 years old. I woke up early in the morning and went to the resort pool. I was tall enough to stand at the 3 feet area but i slowly drifted towards deeper part of the pool and began drowning. Nobody was there. Out of nowhere a lady walks in and saved me life. I got out and ran back to the room and didn’t tell my parents anything knowing how mad they would’ve been knowing i snuck out and went into the pool unsupervised. To this day I wish I could’ve thanked her as an adult. I wouldn’t be alive without her.
A year late but fuck it, the officer was right, "We are ALL here to help each other.". You do not need a uniform to help. Officer Poole is a hero but we all can change a life. God and Jesus willing we all can.
Awesome stuff officer. Just doin his job. For this man to have that kind of moment meeting the man that saved his life is a testament to the impact one man had on another.
When he said that his son was about a year older than this boy was, I’m sure he went home after his shift that day, after saving that boy, and held his boy tighter than he ever had before. It didn’t take him but 3 seconds of that young man saying “in 1997….” And he knew exactly what he was talking about.
@@weknowthetruth6863 Ah yes because somebodies political views determine whether or not said person would like watching an objectively wholesome video. Stfu man.
Oh thing about the cop's professionalism... unexpectedly, a younger and larger male comes up behind him and puts his hand on him. His immediate response is to act in a calm, friendly and respectful manner. No aggression, no escalation, no panic.
It’s crazy to know you saved a life. I hope I get a chance to save somebody life. And if I did already and don’t know it.. thank you God for using me in a good way.
for the police officer it was just a day at work, doing his job. for that man it was the moment that decided if his family, his legacy, will exist. if there will be a future for him. I doubt many people can understand. every human being, not just you, feels the exact same way. has thoughts all the time. doubts. opinions. has to make decisions and, all of those lifes, ..... they end. this man got a second chance and this will bond them forever. owing someone your life doesn't mean you "owe" them per se. its nothing you repay. its a bond that goes way above any material debt. only emotions and love can repay the debt and its a debt you happily repay.
THIS IS REAL, THIS OFFICER IS TRULY AMAZING, HE STOPPED AT MY HOUSE 1 DAY OUTTA THE BLUE, SAID HE WAS JUST CHECKING ON ME?? HE IS A VERY AMAZING MAN, HIS SON IS A OFFICER AS WELL!! TRULY AMAZING

@Barry Lyndon agree Barry. That was beautifully thought.

@@canamcartel9694 that's rough too, being first on scene and not able to help.
Facts
The way the officer hugs him says everything about the kind of man he is. Amazing.
Like his son 💖

@@jshshh1041 Yep
The officer was interrupted, yet he was the first one to put his hand out to shake '97 drowning baby's hand and called him sir. What a guy.
your right but im sorry '97 drowning baby' got me laughing
My guess is he wanted to make sure that hand was empty because he couldn't see it on the other side of his body
@@Matt-pd2cq Maybe so (astute of you, if so) but maybe the officer read much more in the dudes eyes; eyes don't can't lie when they are in a moment like that for '97 drowning baby". :)
I'm crying a bit. But how tragically ironic the cop's name is Poole.
Jrbr 549 hahahahahaha. I shouldn’t be laughing but that’s too good
I think I laughed more than I should of at this comment 😂👉🏼
He used the poole to defeat the pool(e)
I wasn’t ready to go from crying to laughing so quickly
I’m glad Poole pulled him out of the pool
when he puts his chin into his shoulder and tightens his grip... that's love. that's humanity in all its glory. that's the only thing that really matters - love
Even for a cop who doesn't know this man personally he has nothing but love and joy that this little boy had the chance to grow and now they met again

These positive, uplifting videos may not cure anything, but they do help. Stay up.
Amazing…. The world should be just like this.

Yes you can find this quote in the Qur'an but it originally is from the Talmud, a Jewish book.

I love how he hugs him so affectionately, now stop cutting the onions
Amazing officer, and a wonderful young man he saved.

The words, to protect and to serve have never been truer.
The scotus said police aren’t legally obligated to protect and serve
@@weknowthetruth6863 Great. Wasn't going for legal. I was going for moral.
Beautiful moment

why isn't this video more widely known
I love stories like this.
There’s a lot of emotions going on. Awesome stuff
They faced death together in the exact edge of life. No doubt that experience would mark both souls to their last days.
One of the little TH-cam vids to make me tear up
I love how everyone's like, "Awww... This is such a beautiful, touching, emotional moment." and the man's own daughter is like, "Ooh, a pen!" 😂
not all heroes wear capes, some wear badges
This is so beautiful.
I love this..♥️
