Officer Fleming A true American Hero, I would like to thank you for your selfless acts. I a can almost guarentee that you saved lives by what you did that night. IF a scum bag like that was to remain on the streets God only knows how many people he may have killed. I wish you a speedy recovery. ITs always a great day with the POS is dead and the officers are safe.

Someone should send this to the folks in Boston.

To those who say, "It can't happen here", think again.

He was off duty, in his POV. Story does not say if his fellow officers were armed with patrol rifles.

Another example of what officers can face on the street.

OFFICER HIT BY GUNFIRE
This is such a fantastic story, it needs to be plastered all over the major media outlets touting this officer as the real Hero that he is. Thank you sir for your selfless act of courage, May God give you many more fine years to tell your grandkids about this incredible story.
