That reminds me of an incident near Rankin Tx many years ago. A Texas highway Patrol Trooper stopped a car fo some reason that my old memory fails to remember. (I think it was a stolen vehicle). The perp shoots the trooper as he walks over to the car, and proceeds to get out and pump several more bullets into the downed policeman. A local rancher drives by as this is happening ans stops about 50 yards away, pulls out his 30-06 and blows the perp away with one shot, then uses the trooper’s car rasio to call for help. The trooper dies and there is not even an investigation into the rancher’s actions. The Highway Patrol takes up a collection and buys the rancher a gold plated commerative .45 pistol. The perp’s family then tries suing to force the state to reveal the name and address of the rancher and the state refuses to do so and the courts uphold it by throwing out the suits.
