Excuse me .. the boy was in a “holding cell” .. I don’t think you realize he had to kick at the fencing to alert them - because he could not get anywhere near the “cop”.
I know that, he was alone with a man who passed out, and he alerted someone, that is totally normal, and hardly heroic.
It is one thing for the people there to thank him, or praise him, but this is a national story.
You obviously didn’t watch the video. He was in the same room as the cop. They were both behind a locked gate.
I don't know what YOU were watching but the attached video clearly showed the handcuffed kid in the same room with the officer who collapsed........Wow, this place is getting weird.
