In today’s media-driven age, it’s not that hard to find negative stories surrounding modern American law enforcement.

(The breathlessly critical coverage of Immigration and Customs Enforcement — particularly in Minnesota, recently — is proof of this.)

What’s a bit harder to find in modern news coverage are stories that highlight the bravery and heroism that many in law enforcement demonstrate on a daily basis.

Sometimes, however, an act of bravery can be so impressive and heroic that the media has no choice but to acknowledge it.

And that’s exactly what happened to one Tennessee police officer.

According toWTVC-TV, a heroic Chattanooga police officer sprinted into a burning home to help save a family.

Perhaps most impressively, the hero officer apparently had no protective gear.

The incident took place the night of May 1, as police were dispatched to the area after receiving calls about a raging home fire.

Neighbors informed the police that there was still a family trapped inside, prompting one officer to leap into action.
