Death by Natural Causes

[wa3zrm]

An illegal alien in PolkCountyFlorida 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 state-wide manhunt ensued.

The murderer was found hiding in a wooded area and as soon as he took a shot at the SWAT team, officers opened fire on him. They hit the guy 68 times.

Naturally, the liberal media went nuts and asked why they had to shoot the poor undocumented immigrant 68 times.

Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel: 'Because that's all the ammunition we had..' Now, is that just about the all-time greatest answer or what!

The Coroner also reported that the illegal alien died of natural causes.. When asked by a reporter how that could be since there were 68 bullet wounds in his body, he simply replied "when you are shot 68 times you are naturally gonna die."

Ha! Is this true. If so, how awesome it is.

While i'm entirely positive this is not a real news story, 68 times would by all means be excessive lol. Anyone ever see someone get shot? If so, could you imagine the look someone with 68 rounds in em would look like? Holy shit.


Edit: 2 reasons I know it's fake. 1) No cop would ever say "that's all the ammunition we had, and 2) the swat team uses assault rifles, 30 rd mags w/ extra clips, (I imagine they at least have what we had in the army, a good 300 rounds per person), number of rounds does not compute.

It's surely been twisted a bit, but it's basically true: http://www.snopes.com/crime/cops/judd.asp

It happened in 2006. I don't know if he was an illegal alien. He was an Antiguan national. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angilo_Freeland

Lol, THE COP ACTUALLY SAID THAT? How did this guy not win a case against the cop. Not enough evidence to prosecute? Just the cop saying "That's all we had, we would have used more just to be sure" is enough to prove he used unnecessary force. Oh my god if a cop said that in california he would be on death row tomorrow man that is insane!

In other, more relevant news: the swat team out there only carries 110 bullets for a 10 man team, that's like 11 bullets per swat officer. There's no way that's right. I mean, really? Oh man i'm becoming a bank robber, that' nothing. In LA I know for a fact they carry more, we had this one firefight outside of a bank here where they were unloading rounds at these dudes for hours, but they had like 3 layers of body armor on so they never died. 110 bullets??????? 10 gang members carry more than that man, pitiful.


EDIT: And they only connected 68 of the 110 rounds fired? On a stationary target in daylight? lol omg i'm gathering a posse to go rob the shit out of Polk County right now.

Read the Fox link. He was hiding under a tree in the brush. He put up his gun, and he had already shot 2 cops - so he was clearly dangerous, so they opened fire. No point in anyone else dieing.

I think the FBI called it right.

Good research danielan - that story seemed to lack all common sense but your version of the story added it back in. I just love reading stuff on snopes.com from time to time.

Oh I think they made the right call 100%, f|_|ck this guy, he deserves more. I'm just talking about whether or not it was excessive force, which by all means it was. Its not like one guy shot and missed or 9 guys all took a shot or something. To unload 68 rounds takes a second, even between 10 guys (assuming semi-auto rifles), I mean they knew exactly what they were doing, these were no controlled pairs, this was a straight out mowdown (which is awesome). Plus missing 40 rounds tells me they were giving into the trigger happy mindset as opposed to trained accurate/careful shots. I would have done the same thing, if one of my boys and his dog got shot it would be ON. I'd deal with it in court later.

I have heard so many complaints by the liberal crime lovers over the amount of times someone is shot, always by the police, if the crim does it, it's never mentioned, but the answer was that they shoot untill the threat is stopped, regardless of how many times. How many times is irrelevant, I think, esp when it's a case like this. It's be dumb to shoot him in the leg, so he can live and get free medical treatment, and 3 hots and cot, all on taxpayers dime.
