Tears to my eyes -- Citizen shoots Man Assaulting Cop

[ANumber1]

One less scumbag in the world. I do wonder though if the lady who the cop was going to help who was ejected from her car would have lived had this piece of chit not ambushed the cop?

I've always heard that LEOs think domestic incidents are some of the most volatile to get involved in. Supposedly, the driver was the guy who ambushed the cop and the woman was his passenger? Guessing that poor trooper had no idea he could be walking into some kind of crazy domestic incident just trying to help a woman at an accident scene. Fuarked up.

Well he did ask the cop if he was ok. Sounds strange. Getting his head smashed in and the guy asks him, walks back to his car to get a gun. Lol.

Found that lulzy as fuark, but the guy clearly shot him only as a last resort, which is the moral thing to do.

"Hey you, sir, excuse me, sir, stop that. Trooper, do you need some help, sir?"

"YES!"

"One more time, would you stop killing him? Srs. I'm srs. No? Well, OK, BRB."

*BLAM*

In reality, it's like that in any rural area. It's just that western states like Arizona, Wyoming, Montana, etc.. are mostly rural. Good people there. I can't wait to move.

Depending on where you are, the weather/rural-ness can kill you. Helping people like that is just a thing they grow up with.

If you're raised in the rural west, you find it really strange in more urban east coast, west coast and city areas where people just ignore folks who are in need of help.

I'll be real with you: I think most rural people in the east are degenerates. Decades of being underemployed in a dying rust belt country town takes a toll on your character. In the cities, trouble is ignored because most "folks who are in need of help" are lying and there's no need to get sucked into it.

With that said, I agree about the western mindset. People say it's "conservative", but it's more libertarian than anything. People put up nice five-to-six-foot walls around their backyards and stay out of each other's business, say "good morning" on elevators. It's kind of exhausting having everybody acknowledge you if you're from the northeast. Rural people in towns that are healthy, where they can provide and their kids can have hopes and dreams, are great.

Amazing story. God bless the 2nd amendment.

[dhawkeye1980]

Dude's a hero.

But being a good samaritan is the norm in the rural western states.

It's a different mentality out West. Just another reason I love the western states (Not including the west coast)

Nothing like driving down a dirt road out in the middle of nowhere, and waving at the dude driving by you in the opposite direction. It's like the jeep wave, but it's with everyone, and it's not because you own a jeep, it's because people in the rural west genuinely care about each other.

Im honestly surprised in AZ more people were not there to shoot the guy

[Beauuu]

awesome!!

you'll only see that stuff in Trump's america.

So want to move to AZ now!

Remind me again what this has to do with Trump.

[InstantLoser]

Why would I be mad? I love America and I love guns... i just think the world would be better off without inbred, bandwagon, retard motherphuckers like you.

The people in here parroting racist, political chit are literally the dogchit on the heel of a great nation.

Nobody has said anything racist in this thread. Troll confirmed.

[LukeLissen]

I don't get it...they roll their car and injure their selves, and take it out on an uninvolved trooper???

yeah i'm confused as fuk too

especially cause the guy said someone called in something about being shot at from the median? so the dude rolled it, shot at some random car, then ambushed the cop? or called in the fake shots fired call just to ambush him? all while leaving his friend to die in the dirt? like wtf.

It's either a case of homicidal mental illness such as severe paranoid schizophrenia .... or the Russians hacked his brain.

Also just lol @ the #notall argument. So if #notall BLM members are out to cause harm to cops, does this also mean that #notall cops are out to cause violence against black people? Therefore why is there a need for BLM in the first place?

inb4 black people disproportionately targeted by cops (despite all evidence stating otherwise).

[Iceman1800]

Looks like the officer is going to have a full recovery

[Mumra]

So that video represents the entire BLM movement?

That like someone posting a video of random white nationalists endorsing Trump and calling that a representation of every white person who voted for him.

this is a garbage analogy and here's why.

Yes that video does represent the BLM movement. it's a chant that can be heard and many of their "protests". as was said it represents the group BLM NOT ALL BLACK PEOPLE. just like all white people are not white nationalists not all black people are with BLM. so while the hypothetical white nationalist group does not represent all white people they DO represent their group. representing a group is kinda why groups do marches and such.

Lmao so much this.

You're LE? What's the protocol in a situation like this? Obviously try to assist but isn't there a point where you don't want civilian interference? The good guy had no way of knowing the trooper was shot and couldn't use his right arm. So was the guy right in asking first before retrieving his weapon?

If I'm about to have my skull caved in and I'm on my own (or even if I'm not), anyone and everyone is welcome to help me out, deadly force included. People do weird shiit when things are going down right infront of them, which can explain him asking and just walking back to the car.

[fmylife4real]

InstantLosers assumption isn't so far fetched

LMAO!!! Love that Waffle House font....

[Jessejame5]

The very fact that society is so heavily politicized right now because of the left, no doubt at all
Microaggressions, trani toilet, pronouns, gay wedding cakes, bomb clocks, global warming causing black riots and on and on and on

Now in a thread a miscer simply asks if it was BLM member, because facts tell us that it is likely, they lose the argument
and they all of a sudden "Whys everything have to be politicized?"

I was kind of confused how the incident went down which is why I came to this thread hoping for updates. From what I read initially is that the citizen saw the guy assaulting the Trooper. But then the article said the citizen asked the Trooper if he needed help. At some point the Trooper must have told the citizen that he was shot.

There is no specific protocol preventing citizens from assisting. This guy took it upon himself to help out which ultimately saved the Trooper. I know if I was in the Troopers situation I would hope a citizen was close to help like he did. Especially a armed citizen.

Then again I'm a city officer in a medium/large department so my situation is different. We typically can have backup within minutes. Troopers routinely find themselves in desolate areas with little backup.

I can only assume that the citizen first asked the Trooper if he needed help so that the Trooper could identify him as a good guy and not another bad guy with a gun. I'll need to look up more information on the incident.

2 dirtbags fighting to the death. I would of seen how it played out

[Shortstop36]

By that same logic, the view of a few vocal idiots in the BLM movement does not represent the entire BLM movement. BLM does not endorse/promote violence against police officers.

Cope a bit harder.

[Iceman1800]

Looks like the attacker was an undocumented immigrant and former Mexican federal officer.

he probably did it because someone called him an illegal alien. it's really their own fault.

So where's all these BLM hating Alt right loony toons wishing it were a black person??

[FitnessBlue]

Right on!
All I gotta say

You spelled illegal wrong.

[GreenWave1]

You spelled illegal wrong.

Solid.

[Jax05]

This was a WTF statement for me as well....

Dude sees a cop getting physically assaulted, goes over and says " hey brah, you ok????" Of course I'm not OK, I'm getting my head smashed into the pavement.

Regardless, dude is a hero. One less piece of chit on the planet to deal with now.

i think it was more of a "holy shet is this really happening" type of a moment and it took a minute until the reality hit him.

it's not a daily experience for most people to immediately have a response to such a situation

[Motiviert]

Fuaerrrkk. Mirin

The good Samaritan isn't doing too well. Apparently he has a lot of guilt about taking a life. That's got to be hard to deal with even though it was justified.

He saved a life.
Understandably though, he must be dealing with some post incident stress.
Part of the burden being equipped to protect yourself and/or others.

I know what it's like to fire a weapon in self defense, but that is through my line of work. I know it can weigh heavily on a person. But I am still here, here to raise my kids.
The officer involved was very lucky to have a good guy stand up for him! A luxury I wish I had up here in cukada

[Kiknskreem]

Well he did ask the cop if he was ok. Sounds strange.

Not strange.

It prevents you from getting into a scuffle the cop prefers you not be in and lessens the odds of you being mistaken for another bad guy.

Getting involved in this kind of situation is very risky and many LEO's and professionals in the defense industry specifically advise asking if the officer needs help before interjecting.

[InstantLoser]

It's almost like if we had a wall, this might not have happened.
