Tonight, in my hometown, an armed man was arrested wearing a bulletproof vest outside of a Walmart.

The armed man with a bulletproof vest was reportedly stopped and held at gunpoint by a firefighter until police arrived. Yet all the news will be fixated about is the shooter, and not the firefighter. The narrative MUST change.
