Upper Dumpy is now just an extension of West Philly. I lived there for a few years in the 90's after I left active duty. It wasn't too bad then but was definitely on its way over the cliff. Now, you can't even see the cliff. In any case, the always showboating UD police chief is offering praise for the actions of a privately armed citizen.

Should anyone that is pro-2A be interviewed, ensure words are chosen wisely.

"We all know guns do a lot of harm, but they also do a lot of good, too, and the good part is not always shown, so I'm glad that's happening in this case."

I'm glad everything turned out ok for the cop and the good Samaritan.
