Sometimes the majority who love and respect law enforcement get a chance to help.

Citizen shot and killed the bad guy after the bad guy shot the Trooper. Trooper is expected to recover fully.

Read about that earlier. Kudos to the good Samaritan.

Thank goodness the Arizona Trooper will be okay, and that a good person was willing and able to help.

Rule 1: Have a gun.

Rule 2: Help the people that help you.

NIce counterpoint to yesterday's NY Times editorial saying the civilian guns are useless and not used in critical incidents.

Well...I mean first off, it's an editorial...So it was likely written by someone of dubious intellect. Secondly it was in the New York Times, so dubious intellect is something of a given, editorial or no.

Well, there is that.

Interesting. The reporting station call sign and signature "KGun9 We are on your side" and its an ABC affiliate.

It is the New York Times, the only thing they are qualified to editorialize,is subjects regarding gay sex and the most efficient ways to carry out abortions.

The Times didn't have comments on this one. I guess they knew that they would get 1200 "you are full of crap and the factual reasons why". Remember if you see an critical incident at the Times, just wander away as it is impossible to help anyone. They quoted police chiefs who said so. I guess they would have preferred the OP officer just to have been killed for gun control PR.
