Wildlife Officer vs. Cop Killers: The Heroic Showdown That Saved Lives Behind the Badge

Wildlife Officer vs. Cop Killers: The Heroic Showdown That Saved Lives Behind the Badge

When evil hunts, heroes respond. Wildlife Officer Mike Neal's split-second decision to ram his truck into cop-killers from the Sovereign Citizen Movement saved lives and ended a deadly rampage in West Memphis, Arkansas.

On May 20, 2010, after two officers were brutally murdered during a traffic stop, Neal joined the manhunt and confronted the killers in a Walmart parking lot. Despite being outgunned and facing an AK-47, Neal charged his truck at 55mph into their van, engaging in a point-blank gunfight that left his vehicle riddled with bullets. His heroic actions saved two critically wounded officers and earned him the Presidential Medal of Valor.

"It's not a matter of if it's going to happen to you, it's when it's going to happen to you. If you're not thinking that way, you might want to start." - Sheriff Mike Neal
