Two great videos on the news yesterday: The Florida school board shooting in which a lady tries to disarm the gunman with her purse, and the board president calmly defends his policies at gunpoint while trying to talk the madman out of shooting. Even the security guard for his quick action and marksmanship.
The second video was of a cop on a car stop struggling to retain his gun. An unidentified woman stops and beats the defendant on the head, allowing the cop to step back and land some good punches, gaining control of the situation.
Both great examples of bravery and selflessness.
