Officers who first responded to Nashville explosion hailed for bravery

Hero is meaningless now...doing your job means you're a hero. Police everyday are heroes when the punch in for their shift along with doctors, EMTs, and might as well throw in politicians. Congress are heroes...the DOD are heroes. Single parents are heros. Teachers are heros. Where does the systemic heroism end?

The police and politicians do such a wonderful job of patting themselves in their backs.

Take a Good look America, these Officers convey what it means to be American. They ran towards the danger instead of running away. I Bow in Awe and Respect to these wonderful “Americans”!

Although I am pleased these officers did not show cowardice, they are not heroes. They did what they are paid to do as employees of Nashville. Serve and PROTECT. It's their job.

Heroism should be considered as going above and beyond the call of duty. Anyone signing into these career lines is trained for and expected respond to emergency calls of any calibre elevating them to the status of Emergency First Responder (well respected on its own merits) but a Hero is a successful attempt at risking ones own life to save another. An unsuccessful hero is "an idiot for attempting such a foolish act". Digging around in the debris looking for victims while not knowing if more danger is imminent is actually in their job description. Heroism is Knowing that imminent, life threatening danger exists and successfully saving life at the risk of one's own life.

What about the firefighters who worked tireslessly to put out the fire at the Rochester NY Blue Image ballot printing company on the same day as Nashville? They are heroes too and should be recognized!

We should probably look at their records before claiming that.

3 white men are heroes? Oh no! 😂😂😂

It was 🇨🇳 testing DEW

I'm sorry but... they did their job.
