Police Shoot Lawn Art

[Kirk Freeman]

Now, I am on record as disapproving of eyesores, er, "lawn art" but I don't think shooting at it will help anything.

Independence Police Shoot At Concrete Alligator - WDAF

They just got in the cars and left? No Vandalism or Criminal Mischief statute in Missouri? No note, "sorry we damaged your property"?

Remember, "only the police are trained well enough to carry guns" is an utter croc.

Here's hoping that an ambitious lawyer sees this story and helps this guy out. I think a nice, big lawsuit would do wonders for those idiots in blue.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Yeah, but the gator had it coming. It was a hardened criminal.*














*Yes, yes, Freeman can do this all night.

Remember kids, only cops are qualified to handle firearms!! They obviously knew which angle to shoot from to avoid the ricochets!

 

[phylodog]

At least they hit it

 

[Bill B]

Were they shouting "quit resisting"?

 

[jsharmon7]

I guess they thought it was just a REALLY patient alligator to be able to sit there that long without moving. And which basic safety rule did these guys break?

If they damaged the alligator I think the officers owe him a new one.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

No doubt the police were impressed by the . . . wait for it . . . scales of justice.

And which basic safety rule did these guys break?

That would be Rule #4: "e certain of your reptile and what is behind your reptile."

Personally I like to shoot Flamingos out of peoples yards, but to each there own.

 

[GARANDGUY]

rep for that one Mr Freeman!

 

[Cwood]

I shoot those pesky yard gnomes, we all know at night they steal from you!

 

[Benny]

LOL, what I would give to have the audio and video of those cops "sneaking" up on that concrete gator.

Do you prefer .223 or .308?

 

[mmills50]

*Yes, yes, Freeman can do this all night.

NOT what she said

 

[Cwood]

Kirk, its common knowledge that on 50bmg will destroy yard flamingos!

 

[Cwood]

NOT what she said

Someone smacked hard

 

[Kirk Freeman]

NOT what she said

She said, "see you later, alligator."*



*Story of my life and women.

 

[96firephoenix]

I don't think they had any concrete evidence to justify this shooting.*











*so can I, Freeman

 

[Fenway]

At least they hit it

I know a guy up in Winamac with a 7' Gorilla beside his pond. I wonder if they do contract jobs?
