How would we get by without such brave, brave men?
"...and discovered it was a mock-up of a real alligator made to look like it was real."
You mean a fake?
In the officers' defense, it was growing dark when they shot the fake gator and it was partially submerged in the weeds.
There's a lesson in there for you, Chief Wiggums.
The property owner told police that the gator was meant to keep people off his property, Gentry said. Officers told him a no-trespassing sign would have been wiser.
I see. The cops show up, shoot a fake gator...twice...then start offering advice.
I'd laugh, if I weren't crying.
