Chattanooga, Tennessee—(Wise Brother)

A cop in Minnesota risked his life to save two fishermen who fell through an icy lake.  He also saved their dog.  He didn’t have protective gear or anything.  A special rescue unit was on the way, but he thought they might take too long.

He just tied a rope to himself and slid out on his stomach.  Other cops pulled them all back in, and their chest-cams got the whole thing on video.

(Here’s the footage.  He steps on the ice at :46, they pull the first guy in at 2:30, the dog shows up around 4:00, and they pull the second guy in at 4:42.)
