“That’s all the bullets we had, or we would have shot him more,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel newspaper.

Love that line!!! Wonder if Al and Jesse will be making their way down.

It shows me they were merciful, he did not suffer. Good old MSNBC they let up on the troops long enough to give those protecting us here hell. Maybe we should paint signs on the enemy within and declare them free zones for criminals to carry out their dastardly deeds. All criminals free to react anyway they wish here in these zones.

“That’s all the bullets we had, or we would have shot him more,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel newspaper.

Heh, heh, heh.

I think the good Sheriff just cemented his reelection with this non-PC statement.

Expect the ACLU to make an issue of it.

Glad he is gone.

My only wish would be for the cops to think the death of any citizen was as heinous a crime as the death of a cop.

They sure seem to take protecting and avenging themselves more seriously then doing the same for the rest of us.

[isom35]

am I to understand that the perp survived 67 shots, but the 68th killed him? /sarc

[PPHSFL]

In the Tampa Bay/Orlando area, we do not mess around when getting cop killers.

[Old Professer]

[R.W.Ratikal]

Not to worry. He didn't feel the other 67. I will guarantee that this killer will kill no more. It's called deterrence.

[OKIEDOC]

To bad it was not Ted Murdering Boy Kennedy, Howeird Dean or Upchuck Scammer in their sights.

[shankbear]

It was Bush's fault.

Police fired 110 shots

This is inexcusable. 110 shots fired at one lone cop killer and 68 hits? We need to give those cops more time at the pistol range so they get to be better shots.

Now they can shove a garden hose up his arse and use him for a lawn sprinkler.

A fugitive gunman accused of killing a Florida sheriff’s deputy was shot 68 times by SWAT team officers who found him hiding in the woods, according to autopsy results.

Did the autopsy figure out why he died?

MORE AMMO!!! MORE AMMO!!!

Excellent Work!

[COEXERJ145]

Shades of Bonnie & Clyde.

[Leisler]

Don't mess with Florida.

[hodaka]

Good thing he didn't get in shot in China where they charge the family the cost of the bullet. He'll probably take a smaller coffin now.

[Joe Brower]

Living in Florida on and off for over thirty years now, this outcome was 100% predictable. If you kill a cop here, they will kill you. Period. "He was shot trying to escape", or, "he brandished a weapon". Never mind those powder burns all over his shirt.

Not that this guy didn't deserve to die -- he did, and I'm glad he's now worm's food. Years ago, when the cops carried revolvers, the perp would be hit "several" times. Now that police are all carrying semiautos or subguns, well, they just dump the whole magazine into you, or as much as they can get on target, anyway.

This de facto standard in the behavior of the authorities, for better or for worse, gives real-life credence to the adage,"The first one will cost you your life -- the rest are free."

[mbynack]

I think the saddest part of this whole thing is that the reason the first cop and K9 died is because they were trying to bring this guy in alive. It ended up getting them killed and now the FSO is being accused of overkill.

I don't blame them a bit for emptying their weapons. The guy was extremely dangerous, had already shown that he was willing to kill police officers, and failed to respond to verbal commands to show his hands. The police officers that shot him are all able to go home at night and hug their kids.
