This woman is a hero. And this is the first I’ve heard of her?
Were it not for good officers like her, San Francisco would be an even more grotesque hellhole.
Thank you for your Service! May you always be blessed!❤
There is this woman, and then there is the suspect. I hope the suspect can turn his life around, and start HELPING others, instead of trying to take from others.
I am so surprised the 17 year-old is only being charged as a juvenile. Will the suspect learn his lesson and course correct? Honestly, I have serious doubts, but I hope the suspect proves me wrong.
Kamala is to blame
Wow what bad evil people that roam America. Prayers going up
“…and the gun fired.”
Really? We’ve come to that?
We Thank You for your Hard Work and Dedication " Well Done ❤
🙏
Amen
America is not save anymore we all need to carry firearm for our own protection
God bless this Sergeants actions and help.
Wonder what parent is going to be charged in this case, another child having a gun? What is wrong with kids and guns these days? When I grew up and had guns in the home I knew not to touch that gun or I was definitely going to be held accountable for my wrong choice by my DAD!!! Democrats have taken discipline out of the hands of parents but now they want to punish the parents?!
Welcome to San Francisco.
This my strong hand take my strong hand (scary movie ) but good person she is thank God she was there when it all went down she saved that young man
Another one of the 13 percenters who committed the crime?
She's a mom, she cares!
The kid is a punk and I hope he gets some street justice in prison
It's so good she was close and heard the shots. Her immediate action saved this player's life. ❤
Like momma taking care of the cubs. You can see the fear in his eyes. Poor kid.
Salute to you Mam!
May God be with you always🙏💞💙💙💙
Hopefully the kids not back on the streets 🤔 we know how CA is

Just in, shooting in Kentucky. Happens in all cities
Give the kid life in prison
San Fransisco is the wild west. Don't visit. This state is circling the drain thanks to the catch and release crime policies of the court system. Thanks Newsome.
Can we talk about the mess that California has become?
It goes to show that CHILDREN are NOT innocent little angels!
Her life matters, prot n serving, good job .🙏🏽💗
GOD bless that women she a true angel that protects and serves in JESUS name Amen
What a surprise in a state that has “strict gun laws”
Thank you!!
👮 🚨
Probably got probation knowing it’s California
Very impressive. Not many people man or woman are truly capable of running towards the chaos. Obviously our first thought would be to flee. She could've slow played the situation, and waited for considerable back up
The gun fired? All by itself? No. The 17 year old suspect shot him.
If this was a white dude they would be calling them a “white male suspect” but he is a migrant kid here illegally so why would you report it? Could mess up the importation of votes you are doing.
When the moment calls, will you be ready?
At’ta girl! 🌞
If your getting mugged in San Francisco don't get traded to Philadelphia 😂.
Shopping bags in the middle of the day in downtown San Francisco! ? Didn't anyone warn him?
Your city was lost long ago
Got to love that second Amendment. Let’s do something about this senseless nonsense
More heart than a lot of male cops.
I don't think armed robbery and shooting people is a crime in San Francisco
We’ll find out his fate, but even if he does get out, those with fantasy teams betting on the player won’t let the teen off the hook easy
I hope that player gives this police officer the best tickets for all home games for the season.
