Hero.

Seems it's hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys from the really awful ones in Afghanistan, but if this is reported accurately this guy had solid brass ones:

A Policeman?s Bear Hug Stops a Suicide Bomber From Killing More

At his back was a crowd of civilians, many of them dignitaries, leaving the hall he was guarding. Around him were officers from the police company he commanded. The suspect had just approached their heavily guarded gate, the only way in or out of the compound around the hall.
Broad-shouldered and heavily muscled, Lieutenant Pacha shouted at the suspect to halt, but instead the man started running. The officer stopped him, throwing his arms around him in a bear hug.

A second later the bomber detonated the explosive vest hidden under his coat. Fourteen people, including Lieutenant Pacha and seven other police officers as well as six civilians, were killed; 18 others were wounded, seven police and 11 civilians, said Basir Mujahed, a police spokesman.

His father was a ranking figure in the Afghan police.

Hero for sure. Such a small word for such a profound statement of belief in duty and care for his fellow man.

I read that story. A dedicated cop. Hopefully his example will inspire other good Afghans to become police too.

That MAN is a good reminder to me to have compassion and keep a better opinion of my fellow man.
