You did good man. Very good. Alot of people would have froze up

Amazing story man.

Now - the next time I hear "We don't know if you're a good guy or a bad guy, everybody gets proned out!" I'll have another story to submit for "BULLSHIT!! The QS Files." The officer obviously INSTANTLY picked up on your intentions.

You CAN tell the difference between a scumbag and a human in an instant,and if you can't, you need to find a new line of work.

Good work, GM.

Never waste a good opportunity to make some sort of LE statement eh?

You are misinterpreting that idea. When you are forcing your way into a house where there is screaming and stabbing/shooting going on you sure as hell can't sort out the good/bad guys. When arriving on the scene of an armed robbery, you think we can tell
...."ccw guy"..."criminal"..?

When someone runs up to help you in a case like this its a different story.

The OP did what is necessary for the LE-citizen/public relationship to work. If there was more of this we would all be better off.

Here at my dept we would give him a commendation.

Good for you for stepping in and doing what you could. One hell of a situation.

Good on you Ghost. I've heard similar stories from LEO buddies of mine and I know that you more or less helped to ensure that the good guy got to go home to his family.

As someone else already said, it's this kind of happening that helps to reinforce the police-citizen contract. Sure LE is around to serve and protect, but it is with the assistance and cooperation of the people that things get done. From investigations on up to dealing with shitbags like this.

Drive on brother and God bless. Hope the woman makes it.

Well done Ghostman.

Great situational awareness.

A friend of mine on facebook posted this. I didnt know youre from Brevard. I used to drive over Pineda everyday.

I thought that area looked familiar in the picture. BCSO are top notch; went through the BCC police academy with some of the deputies as our instructors. Range quals were done at their range.

Good job in the assist and doing a hugely important job the deputy needed done: get the call out on the Motorola. Hope the girl makes it.

No mention of Ghost, though.
