#NBCNews #California #GoodSamaritans
Most Americans & most Californian are law bidding citizens. Most of us know what a hard job being an officer is… that being said most of us also believe no one is above the law. Good job to the people who were aware of their surroundings, stopped & helped. 👏🏼
Thank GOD there are still GOOD PEOPLE out there! Wish you a speedy recovery!
Much love for the angels who intervened! This is an example of what our society should be…caring and looking out for one another. God bless you all! Praying for the injured officer that he may recover soon from the injury. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
great piece of news, heroes dont need a fancy cape or costume or a badge…
just need a good hearts, we can be all heroes on this Earth…
These certainly aren’t the immigrants Trump talked about?
Most rational people support officers and policing. I hope the feds seize BLM’s 5 million dollar mansion.
It’s too bad we’ll never hear the whole story of what happened
Just when it looks like the country is going to pot, a random cross section of California commuters come together to show us that there is more good than evil out there.
It’s good to watch these citizens pull together to help this officer.
Glad he’s going to be ok!
Thank God for that guy you should get an award for his Valor. He also risked his life for that officer to take down that man.
Well done, good people!
Thanks you to this who helped the Officer. I pray, he makes a full recovery.
now they taking our glory BUILD THE WALL..
YEAH THAT’S WHY POLICE NEED TO TREAT ALL LIVES THE SAME THEY NEVER NO WHEN THEY GONNA NEED HELP PERIOD
No doubt, those guys are Republicans.
The guys name, How Yu Do
😭😆😭😆
Oh he’s Mexican….lol he’s gone
As a law abiding citizen who lived in San Diego for 10yrs , all law enforcement are TRASH and not worth saving
Seems like he will be ok with out all those people, religion won’t help
Hope cops remember that when the next time they feel like being mean to innocent people
Thank you, NBC. You could have chosen something horrible about cops, but this needs to be seen too. We need our cops. Good ones, and good people to know when to help an officer. Best story of my morning. 🙂
See. There are good ppl out there. Don’t let the media divide us …..they love the negativity!!! ☮️
hong kong is hong kong, China is china😛😂I’m hongkonger
Bet they still had the cellphones out taking photos for YOUTUBE
Awesome.
The guy in the red hoodie and the one in the black were there for attention and malice intention’s. They should be arrested as well.
Is it custom for one officer to work isnt the officer suppose to have a partner..
❤️❤️❤️
Nbc: The word “allegedly” has become irritating.
they over charged the felon.
FTP
Police officers don’t get paid enough to deal with crap like this. I’m glad these people helped him. God bless our police officers who put their lives on the line every day
Yoo this people are lucky That the guy doesn’t have no Brothers lol
I’m also tired of “bad people” The general public needs to stand up to these people and help the Police 👮♂️ only then maybe “bad people”will think twice!!!!! We the people need to change our country!! Grady Judd for president!!!
There are still good people out there
So they can’t reach a guy in jail? Smuggle him a cell phone like everyone else does.
Cops are people too and you help anyone that needs it. How anyone can think differently boggles my mind.
They think there goin get “get out jail” free card for this lol well NOT!!
Good stuff
don’t release criminals. give dead pentalty to criminals.
Dang people are better at policing than cops! Imagine if cops came, they would have just shot and killed the bad guy and watched the cop bleed out….
That is beautiful! Great work, Good Samaritans!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💖. Get well soon, officer Pachecko❤️🩹.
It’s beyond a good Samaritan…The man without weapons…put his wife and himself into a very dangerous situation to help, if not even save this his life…one of heroic and valiantly carried out…THANK YOU SIR and all that step up to help a fallen officer
Thank you beloved Everyday Citizens lending a helping hand in the time of need. ❤💯
There’s faith in humanity!
good work citizens.. helping a man who upholds the law!
Gotta love those guys.
Awesome work dudes…
Speed, GEE, gives you super strength.
The guy with a knife 😂
When he gets out of prison, DEPORT HIM!!
Police need to start treating the public the same, you see how you can detain a person without killing them?
Thank you for all that help the Office. We need more people like you
Wow, thank god for these good samaritans!! It takes great courage to step into a situation like this. Awards all around!!!
They should’ve handcuffed the officer, rolled him on his stomach and put a knee on his neck until the ambulance came!
Well done, citizens! 💪🏻 Everyone gets their cape today.
Way to go Californians !!!!!!
May Yahuah the Most High Elohai bless those good and courageous samaritans and may Yahushua Hamashiah our king protect our police force.
Why does this cop look like the same one who faked the fentanyl overdose?
Lady your husband is the real Hero…and he didn’t even have a gun. Don’t miss what is right in your face…Amazing! I have seen police drive the opposite way from danger and these ppl just spring into action…incredible!
Stop the ASIAN HATE!
oink oink oink
The other guy held him with a knife. Good job!! 1:35 🗡 💪
I would have watched and laughed 🤣🤣🤣
Thank God there are still good people on this earth, out to help his fellow man…Great job good Samaritans. Thank You.
5% chance body cam footage released two years later showing the cop initiating a beating for no reason and the guy only minimal defending himself to prevent being hurt
If I was one of the bystanders with a knife, I would’ve slowly carved into the suspects neck until his head fell off. 😛
There’s good people and bad people in every state. California isn’t just full of thugs and drug dealers like others say.
I can’t help but imagine people like the ones shown here would be prime candidates for recruitment into law enforcement/ems/fire rescue careers. They’re already acting first-responders, technically speaking.
Just take a look at all the good Samaritans. All ethnicities. Color, race, background didn’t matter. All they saw was an officer in need and a bad guy. This is the way it should be. Good folks pitching in when someone is in need of help. God bless the officer.
This is what we all need to do for each other. No matter race, ethnicity, gender, anything. We all need to look for each other.
That’s what Pineda’s do good for all those that help
I’ve always had good interactions with CHP. Weather it was an inspection at BANNING, or just them asking me to get of the side of the road. Good people in my book
🤗😍
You how doo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good for them, that was brave and kind of them to help. Police officers risk their lives every day to protect and serve us. It’s time for our politicians to back them up, not only to be fair, but to take back our country which in certain areas like the West Coast are being overrun with crime.
I love how the media always says the bad guys ” allegedly” did it…. The officer WAS SHOT!!!!
If the suspect was black, the officer is in jail for shooting unarmed black men. LEBRON NOT HAPPY
As soon as we can police our selfs now that is a America i want to live in
Mr yu-haul has some good times ahead of him
One of the few times I feel bad for cops but for the most part, these jokers are creating issues for everyday folks just trying to survive so it’s really hard to find sympathy somtimes.
Imagine what it’s going to be like when normal, working men are outnumbered by these animals…
It’s going to be used in politics 😔😒
wowwwww
Good Samaritans in commifornia?
Good job 👏
Bet you that dude knew martial arts being a doo and all
It’s crazy how civilians can get it done with out a gun
Love seeing people jump in to help instead of being afraid.
And they build a wall and keep us out raza helped
Amazing people!!!!
The media and the GOP would have you believe that all minorities hate cops. We do not. We hate bad cops; in reality everyone should because they’re a disgrace. I would do this in a heartbeat. Good on those citizens for stepping in to help. Surely, they saved a life that day.
Edit: Just a response to some comments I saw further down. Personally, I believe if you see someone in trouble you should help. Race should not be a motivating factor.
He’s not eligible for bail but rapists and everyone else get bail.
Does not make sense at all though, officer goes to check up on a crash scene, then one of the involved drivers suddenly attacks the officer for no apparent reason? Was it a single motor vehicle accident or was there another party involved, would be really interesting to see the body-cam video, very fishy
I hope they all get charged attempted murder on a police officer
It does my heart good seeing this! Amen
