Title: I guess we should be happy they hit it. From Say Uncle
Post by: ratcatcher55 on June 02, 2011, 09:36:44 AM
INDEPENDENCE, Mo.— An alligator caused a lot of commotion for one Independence man Sunday when three Independence police officers shot at his concrete lawn ornament.

Rick Sheridan was working in his garage when he heard gunshots. He went around the back of his house to a pond, where he saw three police officers.  The three officers had spotted the gator and were lined up on the bank, shooting at the large reptile.

"The officer fired two rounds, and killed my concrete, ornamental alligator," Sheridan said.

After realizing their bullets were bouncing off the yard art alligator, police left. Sheridan says now he plans to patch up his wounded gator.

Wow.  And we're supposed to entrust our lives and security to such "responsible adults".  :(
  
My teenage daughter knows better than this.  BUT, I'd HAVE to guess the cops judgement may have been impared by an "outside substance".   ::)  And again...  We're supposed to entrust in them.   ::)

Apparently she has a functioning brain, which is more than I can say for these bozos.
Somebody want to remind the Independence police that gators don't usually live in places that FREEZE in the winter?  ::)

Did the cops leave before giving out the phone number to the office that pays for property damaged by city workers?

To the OP - if they hit it, there will be ricochets.

So let me get this straight. Two guys walk onto private property, destroy/damage private property, discharge firearms without a threat, and they just walk away?

Anyone else would be in jail for doing only part of this.
