A trained nurse, Rachelle Jackson immediately ran toward the sound of
the crash. A Chicago police car had collided with another vehicle and
was starting to smoke, two officers still inside. Fearing an
explosion, she quickly pulled one officer from the passenger side.She
never imagined her act of kindness nearly six years ago would land her
in jail for more than 10 months on charges that she robbed, battered
and disarmed a peace officer.
Jackson filed a lawsuit, and on Thursday a federal jury found against
the city and several Chicago police officers, awarding Jackson $7.7
million for false arrest, malicious prosecution, coercive questioning
and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
"I'm going to go home and lie down for a little bit," an ecstatic
Jackson, 41, said after the verdict. "I feel relieved. I'm happy, and
I'm thanking God."

that sounds like the conservative,republican,hillbilly viewpoint,
but you forgot to add :
"unless you can profit from the situation"
where do you people get such simple and feeble minded viewpoints ?,
I realize that in your country there is no respect for life or humanity,
but you're in a civilized country now,
maybe you should stick around, learn, and go back and do something for your
people

She was not trained in rescue and SHOULD have asked for permission
thereby establishing that the officer was unresponsive.
