Licensed Gun owner saves cop

[Penoe Hunter]

A police officer tried to break up a fight and then became an assault victim himself as the crowd swarmed him. A neighbor saw what happened came out of his home with a gun and backs the mob of the cop. The neighbor has a CCP: http://mobile.philly.com/beta?wss=/philly/news&id=368266751

Wow, props to the citizen for having the guts to assist the officer, and the level head to not directly threaten the teens with the gun but just a show of force. Considering both officers sustained major injuries means the situation could have gone south real fast and deadly.

Great job by the citizen. Hopefully the officers recover and the recalcitrant teens are prosecuted accordingly.

An officer attacked by a mob of teens intent on doing him bodily harm and it could have easily ended in the officer defending himself with his sidearm. If that had occurred, national news would have quickly portrayed it as another innocent "choir boy" gunned down by the "evil police" using excessive force.

Now the question is why will the national news media not give this the pro-gun and pro-LEO story the coverage it deserves?

Next headline:

Local citizen arrested for brandishing a firearm and violation of open carry laws within the city limits.

Just sayin'...

Thanks for posting this, and it is going viral big time.

Correct...and if this was just across the river in New Jersey, the good Samaritan would be facing 7 to 10 years in the State prison for brandishing, carrying a gun without a permit, and the media would have been demonizing him for being a vigilante.

He would have bail set at $100,000 and would have to pay tens of thousands for a lawyer. Perhaps the governor might pardon him, but only after he spent several months in jail, exhausted his bank account to pay legal expenses, put his house up pay bail and additional legal expenses.

I'm not exaggerating.....

Here in the Detroit Area a CPL holder used his concealed pistol to stop a stabbing and he is now unemployed.

He just got his job back.




And I thought guns were only for workplace violence and weren't used to save lives.

He was never fired, according to the link below:

"The mayor says a valet driver who has a CPL intervened and stopped the attack from getting worse. The worker, 32-year-old Didarul Sarder, told 7 Action News he was escorted off of the property. Initially, he said he had been fired after the incident. General Motors says he has not been fired."
