WHEN MARK ANTHONY GON-zales saw a police officer in need of assistance, every W element of the moral code instilled in him through his Brazilian jiu-jitsu training-morality, courage, benevolence-told him to stop his car and lend a hand.

Even though he was on his way to work and had his wife, Rachel Ortiz, his four kids, ages 6 and under, and three other extended family members in the car. He saw an officer struggling with a suspect and knew what he had to do.

A balding man of medium build, dressed in camouflage shorts, a black T-shirt and work boots, was running from a police officer at an intersection in San Antonio, Texas. Gonzales slowed down.
