The Polk County sheriff says they fired 110 times at the man who `executed' a deputy.

Face to face with an armed man suspected of killing a Polk County deputy sheriff, SWAT officers riddled his body with 68 bullets.
Altogether, nine officers fired 110 times Friday at Angilo Freeland, who Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said "executed" one of his deputies.
"That's all the bullets we had, or we would have shot him more," Judd said after autopsy results were released Saturday.
The slain deputy, Matt Williams, 39, was shot eight times Thursday when he encountered the killer who had fled into nearby woods after a routine traffic stop.
One bullet was fired at close range behind the deputy's right ear and another was fired near his right temple, with the muzzle of the gun pressing against his skin, the autopsy showed.
"I am confident that he was ambushed and he was executed," Judd said.
Freeland, 27, was driving a rental car when he was pulled over. Deputy Doug Speirs asked for his drivers license but was handed a fake ID.
Several shots were fired at Speirs as he ran after Freeland, and one bullet struck the deputy's leg, authorities said.

Who said they missed?
I doubt it
No not karma which is a key tenant of various eastern religions.
It’s the INSTANT part. There is no timeline for karmic restitution. Could get it after you come back as a. Brahma bull or perhaps a cockroach

“We believe we found him.” LOL
Check the image I used in post 13 of this thread. Those are swat officers in camo. Between 300 and 400 showed up from all over the state to hunt this killer down. I saw one yesterday, a friend, that was feet away from this killer when the shots were fired. He was concealed under a tree and only his hand was visible. A hand which sprung out aiming a gun just 15-20 feet away from this wall of machine gun armed officers. The same gun he took from officer Matt Williams and executed him with... And Dioge his K9, (pronounced D O G) was also killed with the same weapon. I think the officers used restraint when you look at the facts and do the math.

He should have listened to the Sheriff Grady Judd, “If you surrender peacefully, that’s the way we prefer it,”!

When you kill a LEO, there are two choices to make.

I was present on this Sunday, July 74 when the killer of this officer was captured. There was one hell of a fight between the officers, as to take the killer alive. Major Yonkman prevailed.
The killer was sentenced to death but died in prison.
That's awful. Imagine if the suspect was carrying 69 bullets!
The mentality of assassinating police officers is upon us now.
This was suicide by cop. The killer aimed a pistol at 300 to 400 machine gun armed swat officers. A pistol he took from Officer Matt Williams and executed him with the same pistol. These officers used restraint. One is a friend of mine, and I saw him yesterday. He was no more than 25 feet from this killer when he pointed his gun and was shot. My friend never fired a shot as it was over in seconds. Listen to the audio in my post 13.
That's what my chiropractor recommends
Are you stupid, or dense?
We are talking no such thing.
“”That’s all the bullets we had, or we would have shot him more,” Judd said”
Grady rocks!

Dunno. To which of my three responses are you referencing?
Had it been necessary to take down the perp, they certainly should have.

Nothing I’ve said implies assassinating police is ok.
Sorry, #70.
BLM advocates assassinating our “thin blue line”. So, for that reason, LEO’S lives need additional protection. Janet Reno, however, would have agreed with you. I assisted Janet Reno on her first case as an Attorney General, which was a bad police shooting.
The subject officer was an immigrant from Egypt. (!) She wanted him brought to trial, and gathered a Grand Jury.
They let him slide. Good.
