Boy, that police chief is illiterate. “Could have went”? And the comma in the title between armed and hero is not needed. Big, fat hero doctor, not big, fat, hero doctor. Armed hero doctor, not armed, hero doctor. I find extraneous commas to be distracting, and I do not think highly of the literary abilities of those who are constantly inserting them.
As far as I’m concerned, every police chief in the country can use substandard grammar so long as they come down as hard and strong on the side of the armed citizen who most likely saved as many lives as this one did.
Frankly, I couldn’t give a damn about the police chief not using the correct grammar. By publicly praising the doctor as a hero, he did the absolutely right thing, something a lot of PC police chiefs wouldn’t have even thought of doing. He also did a huge favor for those of us who despise “gun free” zones as the victim free fire zones they actually are.
