That’s the video above if you haven’t seen it yet, and although Phoenix police are investigating the incident that involved Kairo pulling out the sword on the light rail, Phoenix police Sergeant Steve Martos told New Times last week, “It appears the individual with the sword helped to stop the fight.”
This morning’s question: Is Kairo a hero, or are his sword antics a disaster in the making?
