Jay Tea at Wizbang says it so much better than I did or could:

I’m an agnostic, but I’m not a hard-core religion-hating athiest, and even I have to admit that the argument here for “the hand of God” is a tough one to refute in this case. The story of Jeanne Assam is the kind of schlock I’m used to hearing from the incredibly-annoying hard-ass born-again Jesus freak evangelicals — but it’s all one-hundred-percent grade-A real. The only thing it’s missing is a history of alcoholism or drug abuse that pushed her into her fall in Minneapolis, an addiction that God helped her overcome prior to her absolutely incredible heroism this last Sunday.

I can’t imagine a police department in the country that would not want her on their force now. She’s more than redeemed herself for her past sins, and she’s shown that she is now precisely the kind of person we need as a cop.
