…a moment he will never forget!
Viral: Student Shakes In Office As Principal Hands Cop Her Phone. Then He Finds Out What’s Going On…
It could be safe to say that in almost every instance, lying to a police officer in an attempt to trick him would be a very bad idea. Normally, the outcome might be much more serious than it was for one high school staff member and student who teamed up to trick the school’s police officer, but for the best reason possible!
Police officers often deal with situations serious in nature, but this trick was set up to show just how serious Heritage High School in Brentwood, CA is about their love and gratitude for Officer Mitch Brouillette.
“Officer Mitch” had always gone above and beyond his primary duties to protect the students and faculty at the high school. He’s an approachable person, ready to lend a listening ear to those who need it or offer an encouraging high five to brighten a student’s day.
It’s quite the juggling act to be both deeply respected as an officer in authority while also being a friendly figure who can laugh with you. Officer Mitch has always shined in that role.
The school has been so grateful for Officer Mitch’s impact that they joined forces with DUDE.benice, a clothing company, which helped the school put together an amazing flash mob to the song “Downtown,” by Macklemore. It happened to be one of the officer’s favorite songs.
The students wanted to make sure Officer Mitch was in the right mind-set before walking into the surprise flash mob. They decided to trick him into coming into an office to watch a specific video first.
A member of the school’s resource center approached Officer Mitch and told him about a “situation” that needed immediate attention. She explained that a student was in trouble for inappropriate content of her uploaded online video.
The officer walked into the office to find the troubled student convincingly crying and upset, but once he started watching the video that got her “in trouble,” he realized that he had been tricked. To watch the incredible scene unfold, please see the video below.
Not only was the surprise video honoring the officer’s character and dedication to the school heartwarming, but his expression of surprise when the flash mob was revealed proves that this is a moment he will never forget!
It’s inspiring to see police officers who put great effort, respect, and love into their work and even more inspiring to see young people recognize an officer for everything he has done. In a world where it’s easy to take things for granted, it’s always uplifting to see someone being recognized in such a special way!
…would not be stopped from getting the message out.
Heartbreaking: After 15-Year-Old Girl Dies. Obituary Goes Viral After Family Calls out Who’s Responsible
It’s not often that an obituary contains highly personal material could send a strong social message out into the world. But with the bloom of social media, this possibility is becoming reality.
The family of Sadie Riggs, a 15-year-old from Bedford, Pennsylvania felt that it’s needed to be done in this circumstance. They were not going to let it “slip by.”
Their loving Sadie died on June 19, 2017. The hard-hitting document started by boldly stating she “took her own life.”
The family wanted everyone to know why. They would not be stopped from getting the message out.
Once you read the obituary, you would understand why it had quickly gone viral. It’s something everyone should read and share if they have kids…
Miss Sadie L. Riggs, 15, of Bedford, took her own life on Monday, June 19th, 2017. The obituary continued with personal insight into Sadie’s struggles, and the family’s greatest wish following her death.
In an effort to debunk the rumors about Sadie’s death we would like to share this information. Yes, Sadie took her own life, she hung herself.
It is hard to fathom that someone so young could be so troubled. Sadie was searching for help, she was in counselling and taking medication, but it was all too much for such a young soul to live with.
If you take a minute and look at Sadie’s family dynamics you will see that a large percent of the people in her life were not not related to her by blood, but she was sent to us by God who knew this child needed a family. Sadie had a tough life and until a recent incident at school she handled everything life served her.
For a young lady so excited about going to the High School things sure went terribly wrong for her. For the bullies involved, please know you were effective in making her feel worthless.
That is all between you and God now, but please know that it is not too late to change your ways. Sadie’s death had taken us to dark places, we will stick together and protect one another as we try to make sense of this tragic loss.
To all the bullies out there, I just want you to know that as much as we despise your actions, never, ever did we wish for you to feel the paralyzing pain that engulfs our bodies, a pain so severe that it makes the simple act of breathing difficult or the guilt that leaves us wondering what we could have done differently-or that struggle to remember the last words we spoke…Our hearts are beyond broken.
Sadie, it was a privilege to have you in our lives and we will always love you. May you find peace in the arms of God and may we all be kind to one another.
In lieu of flowers, the family of Sadie ask that you be kind to one another.
How gut wrenching it must have been for the family to put this together. How difficult it must have been to know they no longer have Sadie among them and that others out there were responsible for her drastic measures.
Bullying is the use of force or coercion to abuse. It’s an attempt to dominate someone and those responsible should have to answer for their actions.
It doesn’t always necessary to be physical. It can involve attacks related to a variety of topics including race, appearance, religion and social class among others.
Bullying can be done by individuals or with the “power of the pack” as well. When it’s habitual, it shall begin to take a heavy toll.
Some can handle it and some cannot, but the point is, no one should have to. It would not be a bad idea to utilize this example in teaching people about the power of bullying and how devastating it could be.
Sadie’s family giving her suicide a voice might have been a way to cope. It’s definitely a way to assist others so as to prevent this type of thing from ever happening to them.
It was a way to give meaning to Sadie’s suffering. It is an attemp to bring an impact and make a difference.
Prayers for the family. We can always honor their wishes by being kind to one another.
