Police are crediting a vigilant gun owner with saving the life of an Upper Darby cop Friday after he saw the officer being attacked and surrounded by a large group of teens.

"There were 40 kids. If it wasn't for the good Samaritan stepping forward, he'd have been dead meat," Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said. "There's no doubt they would have attacked him."

That's insane.. And mob actions like that are exactly why City PD's want to arm to the teeth.

RIP - Community Policing

I will rarely defend my home city of Philadelphia, but just one small point of clarity. Upper Darby is actually a suburb of Philadelphia. It is outside the City limits and in the article, the term 'township' is used.

When I was growing up, kids like myself, were actually afraid of the Police as an authority figure. Not so much today in our society, in the big city. If this event had occurred within the City limits of Philadelphia, it would have been turned around, the Police would have been to blame, and if there was one bi-racial student in the group, then it would have been the racist Police and the racist gun owners fault. :facepalm2:

There are times when the situation as it occurs, dictates the course of actions that follow.

On days like this, I often wonder what Gary Gordon and Randy Shughart would do...
