On February 5, an armed citizen saved an Upper Darby police officer who was under assault and encircled by a mob of onlookers.
Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said “there is no doubt they would have attacked” the officer without the armed citizen’s intervention.
According to Philly.com, the officer was breaking up a fight between two Upper Darby High School students–after school had let out for the day–and one of the students jumped the officer. Superintendent Chitwood said, “As he breaks up the fight, he takes one kid and then the other jumps [on] him. Now he’s fighting two of them and he’s calling for an assist officer at the same time. There’s a crowd of 40 or 50 kids watching the fight, and they all move in towards the officer.”
An area resident with a concealed carry permit saw the officer struggling and the crowd closing in, so he grabbed his gun and ran to the officer’s defense.

Retired Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca pleaded guilty Wednesday to lying to federal investigators, a stunning reversal for the longtime law enforcement leader who for years insisted he played no role in the misconduct that tarnished his agency.
Baca’s plea in a downtown courtroom capped a string of prosecutions that began with low-ranking officials and worked up the chain of command.
His former No. 2, Paul Tanaka, is scheduled to stand trial in March on charges that he obstructed a federal investigation into brutality and corruption by sheriff's deputies in the county jails.

From S.A. Express News
The body of a Mexican journalist who was kidnapped from her home by a group of armed men Monday was found handcuffed and bound, with a plastic bag wrapped around her head and dumped on the side of a highway Tuesday, according to Mexican media reports.
Anabel Flores Salazar, a freelance crime reporter for several publications including El Sol de Orizaba in Veracruz, was identified by relatives late Tuesday night and the death was confirmed by the attorneys general of Puebla and Veracruz.
The John Lee story is emerging because the citizens of San Antonio are not afraid to ask reasonable questions when a police officer kills a civilian, unlike Kerrville.
