Salute Too?
Have you ever salute an officer? When was it last time you thanked a police officer, respectfully addressed an officer?
Rarely, have I seen officers praised for their diligence. Sgt. (Sargent) Jones of Indiana State Capital Police laid on the floor consoling a child, who evidently was experiencing a bad day. Instead of using fear tactics or intimidation she went to him and showed him that she was genuinely interested in how he was feeling by laying beside him. It was also stated in the following video below that once she informed him that everything was going to be ok the child smiled.
What led Sgt. Jones to take those actions? A question that should circulate throughout our minds.
Her Kindness was Adopted
Before I continue, I have to say that I am ignorant of any of her primary police training but her secondary training proved itself to be evident. Which was volunteering with children in multiple schools she adopted a discipline of wanting to “encourage them and everything they have to offer,” a statement presented by Sgt. Jones.
It was stated in the video that Sgt. Jones has prior experiences volunteering with children in a lot of schools and along with the information given to her by the child’s mother she painted a picture for Sgt. Jones.
There was an element that I hint on earlier and this following quotation may have been more powerful than any of the previous experiences and or the information…It was her ideology. She stated “I just think the next generation is going to be the next world changer, we have to speak positive and in life and love into these children; things will change, their going to change it.” Indeed Sgt. Jones, indeed. Beliefs such as this will or may cause any individual to be empathetic and patient in almost any situation. Let this video be a testimony.
