阅读下面的文章,按要求回答问题并作文。 某年3月4日17时左右,刘明明等7人乘坐五菱微型面包车行驶到××市××县××村加油站门前时,被后面一辆“依维柯”撞出了10多米远,刘明明的双腿和一只胳膊多处骨折,但神志还很清醒。大家顾不得自己身体上的伤,立即去救刘明明。 随行的高波回忆当时的情景时说:“危难之时我们不断地向当地120、110求救,120回答雪太大,车出不去;110回答已告知巡警,便没了下文。情急之下,我们只好开动遍体鳞伤的五菱面包车。刘明明待在车里冻得不停地打战。我见路边有一处小红房子亮着灯,一位打更老汉从窗户玻璃上露出了脸。我立即跪在门外连声喊:快救命啊!但老汉就是不开门,我们只好又把车开回到××加油站,加油站业主坚决不让伤者进屋。我扑通一声跪到地上,五菱和依维柯两车的司机孙荣飞、李杰也跪下再三请求。可是,业主还是不让伤者进屋避寒,我们只好再次开动面包车往前方路上闯,不幸,又在小红房子边抛锚了。” 孙荣飞说:“这时一辆丰田车开过来,车里坐着两个身穿警服的人。他们同意我们上了车。为了日后感谢,我和高波记下了这台车牌号。”被抬到车上的刘明明这时还很清醒,还能喊叫,但这台丰田车开到离××收费站约200米时,司机却突然停下车说:“这儿有个诊所,你们得下车!我们要去接领导。”高波一听傻了眼,抱着伤者一条腿跪在车上哀求:“行行好,救人救到底,把我们送到医院,哪怕拉到前面的收费站再下车吧!”司机不耐烦地说:“我们把你们拉出了这么远,还不是行好快点下车!再不下车,我就揍你们!”这时,坐在副驾驶位置上的那位穿警服的人拉开车门,硬是把伤者拖下了车。 同伴王大鹏说:“这时候,雪下得更大了,风刮得更狂了,看着躺在雪地的刘明明,我们焦急万分。正发愁时,一辆亮着警灯的警车开了过来,高波当即跪在马路中央,用劲挥舞双手,嘴里拼命地呼喊:‘救命呀!救命呀!’可是警车开到离我们三米远的地方,就绕开我们开走了。警车刚走开,一辆120出现在马路上,我和高波连忙过去拦车,双双跪在车门前求救。120司机竟然冷冰冰地回答说:‘我车后边有人’,使劲一关车门,把车开走了。刘明明这时候还能睁一睁眼睛,但喊他已不能答应了。” 高波说:“见找车无望,我们只好把刘明明送往那家小诊所,我和王大鹏跪在雪地上苦苦哀求了好几分钟,诊所里那个女人才勉强开了门。我们想把伤者抬到病床上能暖和些,那个女的说啥也不同意,于是只能把刘明明放到了小诊所的水泥地上。放下后,我往离这儿200米处的××收费站跑,想尽快找车救人。我到收费站没找到车,再跑回诊所一看,刘明明已被抛到了诊所门外的雪地上。” 高波继续回忆说:“当我搂着刘明明一点一点地蹭到了诊所旁边的小卖店门旁时,我已无法下跪。但见到老板我还是哭诉着说:‘我给你跪下啦,求你帮忙救救他!’这位老板是我遇到的第一个好人,她马上借给我们一辆‘倒骑驴’,还让店里一个男伙计把伤者送到了××收费站。一到收费站,我就累得晕倒了。与我们同到的另一个好人是××派出所教导员付红军。正是他驾驶着派出所的‘小松花江’车,花了3个半小时终于在深夜23时把刘明明和我们送到了××县的一家骨科医院。医生、护士上车给伤者做检查时还有血压,但等抬进医院大厅,就发现他已停止了呼吸,××县公安局法医作出的尸检报告结论是:‘死者系交通肇事所致多发性骨折死亡。’为救刘明明12次下跪,人间还是有慈爱的,但来得太迟了。” 读了这篇文章后,结合公务员的职业性质,谈一谈执法者应具备的职业道德素质。(200~300字)
