Tax-chick, you make an interesting point, that the officer in question was not physically injured.
However, IMHO, I think it is possible that one can make a case that ALL of our officers are under grave moral assault. All of the men and women in our thin blue line are reeling from the injuries from certain quadrants of government and culture and media upon them these days. So, one truly can make a case that the fellow diner was indeed a “Good Samaritan.”
Yeah, you can read it that way, too.
Yes, indeed!
