A driver who attacked a Florida sheriff's deputy Monday morning was shot and killed by a bystander who warned him to stop beating the officer, according to a report.

The incident began at around 9:30 a.m. when the Lee County deputy tried to make a traffic stop on Interstate 75 in Estero. Instead of complying, witnesses said the driver took off, reaching speeds of more than 100 miles per hour.

The deputy chased the suspect onto an exit ramp, where a witness said the suspect got out of his car and assaulted his pursuer.

People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would do them harm.

Florida is really not the place that you want to attack a police officer in broad daylight. Folks around here are not fond of people who attack our peace officers and folks around here are quite often armed.

Here is the story from another source.

ESTERO -
A suspect is dead and a deputy is in the hospital after a shooting took place on I-75 near the Corkscrew Road exit, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office.

Witnesses who say they saw the whole thing happen told us a deputy tried to pull over a man near the exit.

The suspect took off in his vehicle, reaching speeds up to 100 miles per hour. Eventually, the driver got out of his car on an off-ramp and attacked the deputy. That's when witnesses say a third person came over and shot the suspect, who later died.

"There was a lot of other lives that he was putting at risk, including mine and my daughter's," said Nicole Ambrosini, who saw it all happen. "I saw a car approaching me from behind at a very fast rate."

That car, a blue Toyota, "then swerved onto the shoulder on the left side and had to have been around 120 miles per hour," she said, describing how she watched a deputy give chase. Both cars eventually got off at Exit 123 - Corkscrew Road.

Witnesses saw the driver attack the deputy before they say another man ran up with a gun shouting at the suspect to stop.

"I saw the deputy and the suspect out of their cars with the doors both wide open and they were some type of altercation," Ambrosini said.

"He just kept beating him and beating him," said Shanta Holditch. She said the deputy was pulled out of his patrol car by the suspect, "throwing him to the ground and punching him in all different directions."

"I heard like three shots. He fell down on top of the police officer," said Mr. Smith, a witness. "After a moment, the police officer rolled him back over, got on his mic, then rolled over back on the ground besides the guy."


And another source if you want different perspectives.

I am guessing that they guy who attacked the cop was not black otherwise this would probably be a much, much bigger story.

Evens so, I don't know that this would fall under Florida's Stand Your Ground law since the officer was not family to the good Samaritan (that we know of). So this would have to be ruled justified homicide or justified use of force based upon the testimony of the police and others. I am sure that it will be ruled as justified it is just an interesting case.

I'd like to say I'm sad....
Only liberals can choose not to go down the road to widespread, systematic violence.
