Philadelphia Police Officer Fights Off Man Trying to Steal His Gun, Cops Say - ABC News
Gotta wonder about people who would try to steal a weapon from an officer so they can go do a robbery elsewhere.
From the cited story: Man approaches cop: "I’m hungry. I haven’t eaten in five days. Do you have any money to spare?" the man asked the officer, according to police.
The cop handed him a $5 bill and then entered the hospital, police said.
When the officer came back to the entrance of the emergency room a while later, the same man approached him from behind and tried to grab the officer's gun from his holster, police said."
"According to police, the suspect said he wanted the gun to use to rob a store, "
O.K., its Phily, but show a little appreciation for the 5 bucks.
Incidentally, I once witnessed a Phily cop being extremely kind and gently to a woman who was sitting on a stoop and sobbing. I don't know what it was about, but
he was certainly trying hard to help--- as this cop did.
Time for a break from the Oregon thread. Let's talk about preventing disarms. (Yeah it comes up regularly but is worth a redo now and again.)
