“Today when I got dressed, I was like it’s a different day,” said Officer Michael Baley, “I didn’t realize the weight of the badge until today.”
– Royse City Police Officer Michael Baley put on his uniform for the first time in nine months on Wednesday, Jan. 12.
“Today when I got dressed, I was like it’s a different day,” said Officer Baley, “I didn’t realize the weight of the badge until today.”On April 10, 2021, Baley was helping out a stranded driver on the side of I-30 when a SUV barreled toward him and hit Baley.“If it wasn’t for me landing in the grass and banging my head off the dirt and not concrete, that’s the difference,” said Baley, “My angels were working a little overtime that day.
“It has been an adjustment, he said. “I will tell you, in therapy when I first had to try and run, everybody was laughing so hard because I looked like a bubbling buffoon trying to run because nothing wanted to run like it used to.“ Officer Baley said he knows he’ll likely be put in a similar situation again, helping out a stranded driver on the side of the road.“The other day we were in the parking lot and I heard tires screeching and I was like…uh, and it rang true and it’s just something that I’m going to have to live with and work through.”“Just please slow down and move over so that way those people on the side of the road are safe and they’re not in danger,” he said.
