October 14, 2022 – Alex stopped to help save a gunshot victim from bleeding out, he was then given Saint Paul Police Chiefs Award for Valor. He then gave this small speech.
“I feel like I did what anyone would have done with a little bit of
training that they have, that I have. I’m a certified firearms
instructor, work in a high school in Minneapolis, dad and husband, and a
wonderful community member.That day, nine of your squad cars raced
past us as I was flagging them down (was said in the letter you sent
me), and that was a potential of 18 people. 18 people could have stopped
to preserve life, but 18 people chose to go to a potential threat, and I
recognize the man had a pistol and we didn’t know what he was doing. I
do appreciate the recognition.I won’t keep this stuff. This will go to
my mom, this will probably go to my son because I am very uncomfortable
being here with you guys. I do not rock with the police, but I do
appreciate you giving me the opportunity to say these things. I just
want folks to know they don’t keep us safe. We keep us safe. Riots work.
Thank you.”
