Sheriff Judd Goofy Stuff / Back Home
Thanks to Phyllis for sending this one!
Things go around on the net. A lot of them are not true at all. But this one is, if embellished a bit. The "statewide manhunt" was a stretch, because they knew where the bad guy was already - he was right there in the woods. Any time an officer dies in the line of duty, it's a tragedy that we all should feel.
And I have to love the name of the police dog that died as well. A sad story with a decent ending, depending on your point of view. I happen to think it's a very "just" ending, if there can be one to such a sad tale. Hit the Snopes link below the story to get the WHOLE story.
POLK COUNTY FLORIDA SHERIFF GRADY JUDD
An illegal alien 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 state wide manhunt ensued.
The murderer was found hiding in a wooded area with his gun. After he shot at
them, SWAT team officers open fire and hit the guy 68 times.
Now here's the kicker:
Naturally, the liberal media went nuts and asked why they shot the poor
undocumented immigrant 68 times.

Judd told the Orlando Sentinel:
'Because
that's all the ammunition we had.'
Talk about an all-time classic answer.
