SOMEONE RATED THIS "BELOW THE Civility threshold."  Let's be adults and try again... 

So... if I read the article correctly this "Good Samaritan" stopped traffic off a residential street?! So he didn't actually physically help the officer?
I'm of the opinion labeling this 53 year old man as a "Good Samaritan" is quite a stretch. He stopped/redirected traffic on a side street which was probably occuring anyway.
