Wilkes County Sheriffs Office (WCSO) Sergeant Preston Parsons is being praised as a savior by Wilkesboro North Carolina residents Sheila Everhart and Misty Wyatt who were driving in their auto running errands on Thursday when an EF 1 tornado passed through the town when they were inside of their auto trapped near the police station.
Sergeant Parsons was in the area when he took action to rescue the two females to safety after the tornado knocked down the power lines on their auto by slowly backing up and get the auto away from the power line that fell down on their auto safely.
If more police officers were like Sergeant Parsons doing his kind deeds to persons in need our world would be a happier place to live.

That is true since seeing videos of tornadoes on television is scary enough.

@AmbiePam @Deepizzaguy I still have nightmares of the tornado siren. I remember my mom being passed out at like 2 in the morning.Its a rare tornado in the cold in East St. Louis. I was like 6 years old. Mom, mom, wake up. There is a tornado, boy, we in the city, they do not hit the city, plus its winter, there is a siren, boy you better go to sleep or I will kill you myself. I guess did not hit us, still here.

@crossbones27 I know how it feels since the tornado that hit Lake Charles last Wednesday morning was very scary hearing the raindrops outside hit the window.

Some policemen do have a kind heart then; some are more ruthless, but it also depends on the situation, I guess too.
There was one policeman standing on the footpath this morning with a handheld speed camera.
He was standing at the point where the speed limit increased from 40 to 70, and he was catching many who sped up just a little before hitting the different speed zone.
Blatant revenue raising, for drivers, only slightly over the speed for a short yard, or two, at most.

I'm glad Parsons was able to assist the two females.
