This is the main reason why people love stories about superheroes so much, because they show us real crime fighters that actually don’t disrupt the lives of innocent people, as police do on a daily basis.

As American streets become more heavily policed, and at the same time more dangerous, real superheroes are actually beginning to come out of the woodwork and make a difference. They aren’t writing parking or speeding tickets, and they aren’t hunting down non-violent drug users, but they are actually going after the violent criminals that police are too lazy and busy to deal with.

According to KIRO, Phoenix was patrolling the streets near Capitol Hill when he witnessed three men attacking one victim, beating him viciously and pistol-whipping him. Phoenix immediately sprang into action, chasing the men down and knocking the weapon away from the armed man.
