Speaking of actual, real Alaska State Troopers- here's what happened to one outside Anchorage the day before this thread's two idiot subjects opened fire on each other:

ANCHORAGE -
Alaska State Troopers have identified the trooper fired on by a man he tried to speak with near Cooper Landing Sunday, before returning fire and taking the man into custody on attempted-murder charges.
A Wednesday dispatch names Trooper Kevin Gill, who has been with AST’s Soldotna Patrol Unit since August, as the trooper involved in the exchange of fire with 30-year-old Timothy J. Lange. No injuries occurred during the incident.
Troopers had received a report Sunday afternoon that a man was standing alongside Mile 55 of the Sterling Highway holding a gun. When Gill arrived at the scene and found Lange at about 2:40 p.m., Lange allegedly opened fire on Gill with a handgun, with Gill using a sidearm to fire back at him.
