Great Job Officer
A Chicago police officer from the mounted unit and some passersby rescued a 70-year-old man from France who almost drowned in the lake, authorities said today.
On Friday about 2:15 p.m. Mounted Unit Officer Chris Andersen was riding along the lakefront bike path near Monroe Drive when a citizen said an older man had fallen into Monroe Harbor and was struggling in the water, according to Police News Affairs.
The man apparently had lost his balance and fell into the lake while trying to attach his boat to the harbor wall.
Andersen dismounted and handed his reins to the witness before rushing to the water's edge, police said. He laid down on the bank and reached into the water, where the struggling man had slipped beneath the surface.

Another Frenchman saved by an American...great job officer!!
Outstanding!
Oh, if only the king and his merry band of thieves could be ousted!!! It is time that some real reform take place, but I am not holding my breath. This is Shitcago and Crook County. Behind every crooked incumbent tossed out of office, two or three thieves lie in wait to grab for the cash.
We must reduce the size of the city council and cut city hall down to size, too. No need for those big politician assistants and aides.
And we need a new Inspector General with some teeth and a willingness to tear through 121 N. LaSalle.
"ONCE A MOUNTIE...ALWAYS A MOUNTIE"
SAYS.... THAT'S THE JOB YOU WERE TRAINED TO DO.......DISMOUNT AND HELP THE CITIZENS......
EXCELLENT JOB, CHRIS....YOU MAKE US ALL PROUD !!!
Good job Chris. Love to hear the good stories about us rather than just the bad stuff. 94-5A...Whats 5-0??????
I can't believe he turned over control of his "vehicle" to a civilian!
Don't let Masters find out!
Good job office!!
Fucking liberal media. I can't stand this city and this job anymore. How about praising the officer for doing a great job in the face of death. Fuck Fox News!!!
Nice job Chris. Good to see an ex-025 guy in the news for something positive for once!
How great is that!
"Here, hold mah horse..."
Brings back memories of the great, old western Cowboy movies.
good job! and people say the 001st district is a piece of cake!
Great job officer, we are proud of you. Shout out of thanks to the helping citizen.
Give your partner an extra carrot today.
Well done, officer!
One wonders why the citizen coudn't have reached in and saved the Frog.
Great job, now j-fed how about a nice "reward" for a job well done. No not another bullshit ribbon maybe a week off with pay now that is a reward!
AFTERWARDS THE P.O. AND CITIZEN'S ASKED THE FRENCHMAN "PARDON ME DO YOU SPEAK GERMAN SIR" TO WHICH HE REPLIED "NO" THE P.O. AND CITIZEN'S THEN STATED "THATS RIGHT YOU'RE WELCOME"
THE FRENCHMAN WAS HEARD YELLING "I SURRENDER I SURRENDER" AS SOON AS HE FELL IN THE LAKE
Does the horse get a green ribbon too?
Once again the French are saved by Americans. They can thank us in French because without us they would be speaking German.

"SWEET" AS MY GRANDKIDS SAY.
Has this been played up in the French media?
Or do they still hate us all? No matter that that JoeMamaObama said/did during his mea culpa tour last spring.

My Grandfathers and Father saved a lot of French in the World Wars. God Rest their souls, I'm real proud of them for that.
Suggestion: duplicating the green Lifesaving ribbon and mounting on the horse's bridal.
