Portland Officer Hailed A Hero – WMTW – June 18, 2009
A Portland police officer, who prevented what could have been a tragedy, was honored by the state Thursday morning.
“He reached down. It was a convertible car, he reached down into the car and loaded ammo, then I came out and engaged him and had him drop it. I asked him what he was here to do and what he replied and what I assumed at that point was he was going to kill people,” said Black.
A police officer may have prevented one or more murders or attempted murders. Isn’t that the job of a peace officer? Perhaps state agents who actually protect individual rights instead of infringing upon them are such a rarety these days that a celebration of heroism is called for to recognize the unusual nature of said events.
