Sensei Espinoza Recognized by Boise Police Department for Assisting Downed Officer
This month, the Boise Police Department held a ceremony to recognize and thank Sensei Isaac Espinoza for his fearless intervention to help a police officer who was taken down by a suspect during an arrest. The story was all over the news, yet most people do not know who the man was that stepped in to help the officer. But, we do! The situation was even more complicated because the assailant, though over 6 feet tall and 210 pounds, was underage. In the end, the attacker was arrested and charged, the police officer was treated for his injuries, and Isaac grabbed his glasses and went back to work.
From the certificate: The certificate was awarded during a ceremony with the Boise Police, and signed by police Chief Masterson and Mayor Beiter.
