Michigan State Police trooper pulls unconscious driver out of burning vehicle on I-94

Dashcam footage shows a Michigan State Police trooper pulling an unconscious driver out of a burning pickup truck on eastbound I-94 Tuesday morning.

Officers were dispatched to the area of I-94 and Haggerty Road near Belleville in Wayne County at around 6:15 a.m. for a car and attached boat engulfed in flames, according to officials.

Troopers found the driver, a 63-year-old male, slumped over the steering wheel unconscious. An officer attempted to break the passenger side window using his baton, having to then use his hands to push the window in due to tints on the front windows, sustaining cuts to his arms and hands, according to officials said.

Mostly it's just an interesting news story. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

and to believe otherwise is too much of a blanket statement for me to support.

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of them, but I have met some decent ones, and besides, good cops are still news.

It'd be nice, though, if they could somehow get rid of that stupid blue line that divides them from us.

Just my opinion, but thank you for your input also.
