Apparently the common message between this and the McDonald's shooting is: "It's okay to be a hero, but not on our time or in some fashion that could lead to court case calling for monetary compensation".
All I have to say is WOW!!!!

And people wonder why stuff like this happens:

One word. Totally out of control.
Ridiculous.
Another example of law enforcement doing the wrong thing and another example of why people don't trust the police. They're only interested in giving out tickets.
The guy should wipe his ass with the ticket and mail it back. No f--ing way he should pay it.

If he gets a ticket, the old hags he was helping deserve one too. That is one stupid PD.
I agree!

They can justify giving him the ticket. Its a shame, but its the law.
Maybe that officer will need help someday and it wont be there, karma is a bitch!

Why was the bus driver the only one to get a ticket if there were two others with him. Were they not jaywalking with him? The cop needs to find something more productive to do with his time.
Very True, I use to never stop and help people on the side of the road.... a few months back I got stuck in the snow and a few people passed me with no offer of help... The guy who ended up stopping and pulling my car out of the snow was cool enough to say "Just pass the favor on to the next person that needs help" as I tried to hand him money... Since then I pull over at any chance I get to see if someone needs a hand...
As for the cop giving a J walking ticket .... KARMA IS A BITCH

They dismissed the 22 dollar jaywalking ticket.....I hope he gets better soon.
DENVER – The Colorado State Patrol has withdrawn the $22 jaywalking ticket issued to a good Samaritan who was seriously injured by a pickup after he pushed three people out of its path.
Bus driver Jim Moffett of Denver and another man were helping two elderly women cross a busy Denver street in a snowstorm when he was hit Feb. 20.
Moffett, 58, suffered bleeding in the brain, broken bones, a dislocated shoulder and a possible ruptured spleen. He remained hospitalized in serious condition Friday.
"He's doing better, but it's going to be a long, hard road for him," said his wife, Donna. "His knee is just completely destroyed, his shoulder was badly dislocated, he's got a lot of internal injuries."
The State Patrol said in a statement that it withdrew the citation "after examining the ... circumstances" and consulting with prosecutors. A patrol spokesman didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
The patrol initially said that despite Moffett's intentions, jaywalking contributed to the accident.
The patrol also withdrew jaywalking citations against the other good Samaritan and one of the two women. The other woman wasn't cited because troopers said she wasn't directly involved.
A citation against the pickup driver for careless driving resulting in injury still stands.
The two women and the other good Samaritan were passengers on Moffett's Regional Transportation District bus.
"He told his son he'd do it again, which really upsets me because he almost lost his life," Donna Moffett said.

I wonder if public outcry had anything to do with the change of heart.
wow i don't agree with that at all. I guess they are trying to ticket anything just to get a little state revenue
