RIP mate. The very definition of courage.

French policeman Arnaud Beltrame, who took the place of a hostage during an attack at a supermarket, has died.
Mr Beltrame, 45, had swapped himself with the last remaining hostage during the attack in Trebes, south west France, on Friday.





He was shot by Redouane Lakdim, prompting counter-terror officers to storm the supermarket and shoot the Islamist terrorist dead.
Interior Minister Gerard Collomb announced the death on Twitter, saying France would never forget Mr Beltrame's heroism, bravery and sacrifice.
