Good idea. Sad thing is these things happen everyday but you never hear about them. With my dad being in law enforcement I see both good and bad but far more good than most people know.

I think it's more like the statement:

One aw shucks erases ten atta-boys

You can't apply "averaging" to these situations,,,
I don't care how many times a cop does some really "nice" things,,,
The moment he oversteps or abuses his authority all of his atta-boys get erased.

Leesburg officers encountered a suicidal man with a gun and didn’t fire

Police Officer Alex Hilton and Sgt. Mark Davis pose in front of the apartment where they disarmed a 78-year-old man wielding a gun in March 2014 in Leesburg, Va.

The man called 911 to report trouble breathing, although in fact his plan was to commit suicide with a pistol and have paramedics find him. But when the fire-and-rescue truck arrived at his Leesburg apartment, he was still alive, holding his gun. The paramedics backed away and called the police.

Sgt. Mark Davis and Officer Alex Hilton of the Leesburg, Va., police pulled up soon after and peeked through the open apartment door. There the 78-year-old man stood, holding a gun against his chest, saying nothing. He would not answer dispatchers’ phone calls.

Davis and Hilton stepped in with their guns drawn, and Davis repeatedly told the man to put his pistol down. The man did not comply. Instead, he darted into the next room, hid behind a wall and held his gun out in the doorway, daring the officers to make the next move.

But this story does not end as many others have recently. The officers did not shoot.

Rather than fire at the armed man, Davis slid his gun back into its holster. He walked over and gripped the man’s hand holding the pistol. And, slowly, he talked the man into lowering the weapon. Then, rather than arrest him, the police arranged for him to get psychiatric treatment.

Several months later, Hilton walked past the apartment, and the man, whom police declined to to identify, stepped outside. “Officer Hilton,” the man told him, “thank you for what you guys did.”
