A driver in Arizona is being praised as a hero for saving the life of an ambushed state trooper on Thursday. Police say a suspect shot the state trooper who had stopped to investigate a car crash on an interstate west of Phoenix. A man driving by came to the trooper's rescue and ended up killing the suspect. [Watch]
Forgive me for wondering if a happy ending with media praise might still be pending had the rescued person just been a "civilian."

We were all rah-rah here in Arizona 22 years ago when Rory Vertigan took on three illegals who were murdering a police officer on a street in old-town Phoenix. But today? Those of us keeping track of how well the blue and their bosses back us would likely just tool on by, evade the liability and the official bullshit, and just let the officer "earn his last paycheck."
The attack which occurred in 2017 was instigated by a former Mexican Federal LEO identified as Leonard Penuelas-Escobar (37) who had been living in the U.S. illegally.
An ex LEO trying to kill an on duty LEO who is then saved by an armed civilian.
What a conundrum.
