What a fucking GOAT. Told his buddy "nah I got this" quietly and with emphasis. Went to the task and saved a life. Awesome.

Everyone else facing the guy did a great job too, I imagine some of them recognized that this hero was going to do this, and they helped keep the person looking at them for long enough that they could be saved.

This is what compassion and de-escalation looks like-- my country should take notes.
