If a police officer loses a leg in an accident, it pretty much means losing his job. In fact, city officials know of only three officers in the country who have returned to work after having a leg amputated -- well, make that four now.
Louisville Metro Police Officer Kevin Trees shunned walkers and crutches, and endured sleepless nights in agonizing pain. "If my purpose for being on this Earth nowise to lose a leg and inspire other people, then so be it. I'm completely satisfied with that."
Now, he uses karate to help give him the confidence to handle any situation an officer might encounter, training with fellow officer and 20-year expert in karate, Major Bill Weedman.
"This man's got two good legs, Weedman said. "The only difference is he can take one of them off."
