Thugs and criminals, I've told you about Arizona

Being a criminal or thug here is not a career advancing occupation. We are not Chicago, we will kill you, the cops and the citizens of Arizona.

Well done Mr. Joe Public, well done. And as a tip, when you leave the Phoenix area, wear your gun. Fifty miles west of Phoenix is nothing but desert.







Armed Citizen Intervenes, Kills Suspect Beating AZ State Trooper on Roadside
by AWR HAWKINS12 Jan 2017

On January 12, an armed citizen stopped and killed a man who was beating an Arizona State Trooper on the side of I-10.
The incident occurred early Thursday morning on about “50 miles west of downtown Phoenix.”

According to KTAR News, the trooper had stopped to investigate a rollover accident at about 4:30 a.m., when someone opened fire, shooting him in the shoulder. The alleged shooter then began to beat the officer. An armed citizen and his family were driving by when they spotted the officer under duress.

The citizen stopped the car, ran toward the officer and asked if he needed assistance. When the officer said “yes,” the citizen ran back to his car, grabbed his gun, then returned and “demanded the attacker stop.” The attacker refused to stop, so the citizen shot him multiple times, killing him.

Well done, but I think the process needs a little streamlining. He was one step shy of sending a PowerPoint CONOP up for approval. Took a bit too long to get inside the thug's OODA loop.

I'm with Divemaster - good job; thanks for stepping up to the plate and getting involved. Now, what the hell was he thinking getting out of the car without his gun in the first place?

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.

It's possible that he didn't want a wounded cop to think that he was an assistant ambusher. Not a lot of "ONA" training in CCW classes I reckon. Worked out fine, though.

That's just a logic chain most likely established after the event, for everyone's legal welfare.

Maybe the gun he got was "long" and in the boot.

Oh, and, OUTSTANDING!

I am surprised the report ommitted saying that the cop had already read the perp his rights when the citizen appeared on the scene.

Another wonderful feel-good story to start the weekend. I like it! Thanks, Arizona - you're making America great again one dead perp at a time. Keep it up!

I just found out the good Samaritan in this case is a convicted felon (felony theft) who has had his rights restored.
