Recently a cop was gunned down by a man he pulled over for a simple traffic stop, I believe it had something to do with his license plate.
The cop chased the man, and got him cornered in a dirt lot. The cop got out of the car and peppersprayed the driver. He then turned, walking back to his cruiser and the driver shot at him 7 times...4 of those bullets hit the cop. Then the driver ran over the cop with his car! The cop is killed. A witness who saw the shooting of the officer takes the officers gun and tries to stop the driver from runnign the cop over a second time. The witness shoots and kills the driver.
*Warning: In the first video I'm providing you can hear the officers cries and gags after he is shot :(

That sucks, It makes me both sad and mad when I hear about a officer getting killed,and I pray for the officers family,I do have to say that I think the witness did the right thing by shooting the driver to try and help the officer,and if it was me,I would do the same thing.I know the life of an officer is dangerous,and I want to be a cop,and one day move to Texas and become a Texas Ranger,so I can help take down criminals,especially criminals that kill or try to kill officers.

Yeah I feel both mad and sad too. I am a big...fan? (is that a correct word to use?) of cops, and it just makes me sick when I hear people always say how cops are pigs, and they're overusing their power. Very few cops ever do. People think that all cops are bad just because there are a very few dirty ones. I don't think that at all! And I hate seeing all these great cops get killed because of criminals. Did you happen to hear anything on Officer Erfle from Arizona? I made a discussion for him too, but it was a while ago. It's probably in the same interst this one was.
It's great that you want to be a cop! I respect you for that. Good luck to you!

Yeah I think fan would be the correct word,I know I hate people calling cops pigs,there are only a few cops who over use their power,and people shouldnt blame all cops for the few dirty cops.I hate seeing good cops get killed for going above and beyond the call of duty.No I havent heard anything on Officer Erfle from Arizona,but since you said you made a discussion on him,I will try to find it, by searching the interests.Thanks alot,and good luck to you in whatever you decide to do.
