IMO the citizen should have had a carry gun on him when he approached the savage attacking the cop. But it is great news that he did the right thing, although he will probably face the consequences of the subversive groups like the SPLC, etc. who hate it when citizens protect themselves and other law abiding citizens.
Passing driver kills man attacking Arizona trooper on road
Wow. Good thing Arizona has common sense gun freedom....this had been New York or California or Illinois we would have another dead cop.
Is it true the Obama Justice Dept is bringing charges against the good Samaritan?
They may be LEGAL but those states I stated try their hardest to make it as hard as possible to ever carry one legally or they make it so expensive to try and do so. Which is part of the INFRINGING on it....that will all end soon. Fed law supersedes state law and a bill was already introduced to establish reciprocation for guns for the entire country....Means laws for carrying won't vary per state.Passing driver kills man attacking Arizona trooper on road

An Arizona trooper who had been shot and was being beaten by a man with a pistol was saved Thursday by a motorist who killed his attacker, authorities said.
The man who came upon the scene warned the suspect to stop striking the officer, but the man continued, said Capt. Damon Cecil, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety, said.
The good Samaritan got a gun from his car and shot the suspect, who died at the scene.
The trooper, a 27-year veteran, was shot in the chest and shoulder. He is in serious and stable condition, Cecil said.
Col. Frank Milstead @frank_milstead
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers this morning for our Trooper that was shot. Looks like he will be okay after some recovery @Arizona_DPS
8:26 AM - 12 Jan 2017
Col. Frank Milstead, director of the public safety department, said he would like to thank the man who stepped in. "I don't know that my trooper would be alive today without his assistance," he said, according to CNN affiliate KNXV.
Unusual circumstances
Public safety spokesman Bart Graves said the incident began with the trooper responding to report of shots fired from the median of an unlit, rural section of Interstate 10 near Tonopah. The officer came across a vehicle that had rolled over and got out to investigate. While the trooper was setting flares, the suspect shot him.
It was not clear where the suspect was when the officer pulled up.
Milstead said at some point the suspect started beating the trooper, who was unable to use his right arm to defend himself. That's when the motorist pulled up and opened fire on the suspect.
"It's fairly rare" that citizens who come to the aid of law enforcement officers use deadly force, Cecil said.
Another motorist who stopped used the trooper's portable radio to call in the shooting.
The conversation between that driver and the dispatcher was very businesslike, Cecil said.
"Hello. Officer down, officer down outside Tonopah. Come in, please," the man says, according to audio archived on Broadcastify, which streams radio communications between emergency responders. "He's in real bad shape. Please send air support, helicopter, please."
He tells the dispatcher there are two other people who are down in an "unknown condition."
Cecil praised the motorists who stopped to help, saying, "They were calm, determined."
A woman who was ejected from the vehicle died at a hospital, authorities said.
Authorities didn't release the names of the people involved in the incident, which occurred after 4 a.m. near mile marker 89, west of Tonopah. That city is about 50 miles west of Phoenix.

No, you were pushing an argument that banning guns reduces deaths. The standard LW anti-gun meme. You know, the same LW anti-gun meme that inflates US gun deaths with suicides, which effectively doubles your numbers.Er.... who was talking freedom? We were talking about safety of police officers. Go figure.

They are probably accurate. Do you think it's because of guns or culture? Do guns jump up off the table and suddenly kill people or do you think it's something different about society that causes these numbers to differ? If you removed all the black-on-black male gang-banger murders, doesn't the US statistic drop to Euro norms?So, tell me, are these statistics true?...

Also, I'm not suggesting that not that simply banning guns automatically does something. I did show that 6 police officers were killed in the line of duty in the last 6 years, compared to the US's 795 police officers killed in the line of duty (with the UK's rate of 30 being the equivalent of the US's per capita).
The point I made was that police officers in the US do a far more dangerous job. It makes them more edgy when they come up against criminals, it makes them more likely to die, and the reason for it is guns in society and other factors, though guns in society is one of the main factors.
You can do the whole "it's a LW meme" as a way of trying to say that something isn't true while you're not willing to back up your claim, but it doesn't work with me, because I'm willing to go out there and get the evidence for what I'm saying, and I'm not willing to say things that are simply black and white. I know it's not just guns, there are major problems in US society that aren't getting fixed and there doesn't seem to be a desire to get them fixed. People prefer populism to reality.
