I know the common wisdom is to not intervene when you see a crime being committed, But when this CHLholder saw a deputy in a struggle where a suspect was trying to get the deputy's gun- he intervened and saved the officer.

It's good that things worked out and no one was seriously hurt or killed but, the deputy shouldn't have put himself in that position. Once the woman and child were safe and the perp ran, the deputy should have waited for backup before going after him. The article stated that the perp was quite a bit larger than the deputy and the deputy tried to physically subdue him when he wouldn't follow his commands. That deputy was very lucky.

Could be a case of SGS (short guy syndrome)- - - - -might be the reason he's a deputy in the first place!
