This is a great story...

...about a police officer in Sioux Falls, SD, who got help from (and possibly had his life saved by) a citizen who saw that the policeman appeared to be losing a fight.

But then the last part of the last paragraph threw me:

Police say it would be very hard for someone to take an officer's gun out of its holster. There are different steps in getting it out that have to be done in the right sequence, something only law enforcement should know how to do.

Bull.
