SOLANO COUNTY, Calif. (KTVU) - Two East Bay men are being hailed as heroes for helping save a female CHP officer who was being assaulted by a driver along a freeway shoulder in Solano County over the weekend.

Witnesses say the driver was beating the officer along Interstate 80 westbound in American Canyon when a 61-year-old former linebacker, former cop and Greg Bunting, a 52-year-old motorcycle mechanic, jumped in to help.

The incident happened around 8:30 Saturday morning.

Witnesses say the suspect was actually reaching for the officers's gun when the two men, strangers to each other, came to the officer's aid.

“...plus she is not too smart.”

I would think she is a genius! How else to explain being able to write in cursive, even though you can’t read it!?

Go ahead and lash out at me — I am old school.

-—My SIL works the oil fields and believe it or not still works often, but is gone away often. He sadly, is about to join the Texas State Police. He is a happy friendly guy who has never had a fight in his life and is only 5 feet tall. I’m very uneasy about this.

That’s why they have guns.

An example of women in combat.

LOL....

She is evil George’s type of gal,easily used.

I agree, and would like to re-state my original faulty claim... I happen to have known a few women who could definitely stomp other certain guys I have known. I don't think, however, these rare exceptions should be allowed to taint the rule, which prevails in the vast majority of such mano~a~fembo confrontations.

Still IMHO

"...overpowered a bear in her house fighting with her husband ...she was over 65."

Still laughing at the mental image. Holy crap. Apparently since it was on the woman's home turf, there is some part of the ursine brain that recognizes territorial rage/dominance, and acknowledges its higher place in the pecking order.

How else does a bear not shred her like so much papier mâché? Was it a bear cub?

From what I recall the bear came into the living room, and her husband was having a bit of a fight with it. She grabbed a frying pan and laid into the bear, driving it out the front door.

I assume it was a young bear, that scheme would be unlikely to work with a full grown bear.

That said, I've met some pretty tough women in rural areas, and some of them had no trouble putting big, tough guys in their place. This lady sounded like one of them.

Yep. If the leftists really believed the sexes are equal and were not just trying to destroy the military, they would demand professional sports use female players too.

War clerics used to be a thing...
