« Hero honored by Gwinnett police »

In a day where our society makes heroes of athletes and guitar players, Shawn Taylor is a real hero.  The quick actions of Taylor may well have saved the life of Gwinnett police officer Jeff Smith.  Officer Smith was grappling with an armed robbery suspect along Sever Rd. on December 18.  As the perp was going for the officer's firearm, Taylor stopped his car, ran and tackled Ahmaad Jarvis.  Taylor was honored with a plaque and a $2,500 check in a ceremony yesterday.  

Our society needs more Shawn Taylors.

(The perp, after being tackled, ran away and was later captured in a nearby house.  I suspect this is the same incident about which I blogged on that day.)
