Great Quote - Florida 's got it right. Bravo for Sheriff Judd!!!

POLK COUNTY FLORIDA SHERIFF GRADY JUDD

Some "dirtbag" in Polk County Florida who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop ended up "executing" the deputy who stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed. A statewide manhunt ensued. The low-life was found hiding in a wooded area with his gun.














SWAT team officers












fired and hit the guy 68 times.
Naturally, the media asked why they shot him 68 times. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, told the Orlando Sentinel: "That's all the bullets we had!" (Talk about an all time classic great answer!!!)

What a terrible story. There are many unhinged, dangerous people walking around free out there.

And apparently they have reporter's notebooks. What the heck kind of question was that? Are their hearts truly bleeding for this heathen?

Last i heard they where looking to press charges against all the officers involved. I'm glad the snopes article said those where dismissed.

We can only hope that the SWAT team had the presence of mind to start shooting at his feet and work their way up.
