Florida Police SWAT Team Fired 110 Bullets At Suspect Who Killed Deputy
Police in Florida fired over a hundred rounds of ammunition into a suspected criminal who officers say shot and killed a sheriff's deputy in Lakeland. An investigation into the manhunt for Angilo Freeland showed police and SWAT team members fired 110 bullets, hitting the suspect 68 times. He's really, really, really dead, Jim.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd explains, "Quite frankly, we weren't taking any chances... "
Can't say that I blame for that ...
"You have to understand, he had already shot and killed a deputy, he had already shot and killed a K-9 and he shot and injured another deputy."
Authorities say deputy Vernon Matthew Williams, 39, pulled Freeland over, and became suspicious. Freeland fatally shot the officer and Diogi, his German shepherd police dog, then fled. A search ensued, which lasted for almost 24-hours, and involved an estimated 500 law enforcement officers. When a SWAT team finally caught up with Freeland, he raised the gun he stole from the deputy, and was in turn fired upon by police.
Sheriff Judd adds, "I suspect the only reason 110 rounds was all that was fired was that'salltheammunitionthey had. We were not going to take any chance of him shooting back." There's a lesson here; Never leave the station without several extra ammo cans in your cruiser's trunk.

It might be a good time to commit a crime in Southern Fla as half the available law enforcement officers will be on admin leave. :-)

I bet the Polive get sued for killing a mentally insane man. Only someone COMPLETELY out of their mind would raise a single gun against a SWAT team.

If this guy killed a human deputy AND a K-9 around here, he would be considered as having killed two law enforcement personnel. Hope they see it that way in Florida when the nutjobs start screaming "excessive force" was used.

If someone wants to post the perp's photo we can all have a good laugh. The guy is a regular salt-of-the-earth 9 to 5 button-down pillar of the community. NOT!
Relatives of those killed in last year's Bali bombings have gathered for emotional services both here and in Bali to mark the first anniversary of the attacks. Isaac Zwolinski, 18, and his younger brother Ben, 16, of Newcastle, were among more than 40 Australians who made the difficult decision to return to Bali for a memorial service one year on.
The solemn proceeding, amid tight security on the lawn of the beachside Intercontinental Hotel overlooking the now largely deserted Jimbaran Bay, included a message sent from Prime Minister John Howard expressing the deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences on behalf of the nation.
Also today, relatives of those killed in the bombings gathered for an emotional memorial service in Newcastle. Nine Newcastle families, who were holidaying in Bali at the time, were caught up in the blasts, and three of the four Australians killed in the attacks were from the city.

Considered a long shot just two days ago to unseat a prominent House Republican, Democrat Tim Mahoney on Saturday began to talk about the scandal surrounding Rep. Mark Foley that may propel him to Congress.
Foley resigned Friday after revelations that he exchanged raunchy electronic messages with a teenage boy, a former congressional page, sending the Florida GOP scrambling for a replacement candidate less than six weeks before the election. Mahoney on Saturday criticized Republican leaders for not fully investigating Foley when e-mails to the 16-year-old page were brought to their attention about a year ago. Pages are high school students who attend classes under congressional supervision and work as messengers.

So, your candidates run on a platform of not child molesting now? What a VISION!

Guys like Foley and the other Pubs who've turned out to be no different than the DhimmiDonk assholes, providing aid and comfort to the enemy in a time of war, should just be shot.

Trunks have to resign for 'trouser troubles' because their constituents find such behavior 'wrong'. Donks get re-elected under similar situations because such behavior is normal and acceptable to a majority of their constituents.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Louisiana voters on Saturday approved consolidating the New Orleans area's levee boards, the generations-old agencies whose politically appointed members took criticism after Hurricane Katrina for failing to maintain the area's levees and floodwalls.
The constitutional amendment - passing with about 80 percent of the vote - will combine 10 southeast Louisiana boards into two - one for each bank of the Mississippi River - and require that their members have expertise in engineering, geology and hydrology.
After Katrina breached New Orleans' levees last August, the existing boards were criticized as disjointed, full of cronyism and patronage, and badly lacking in technical knowledge.
They still will be, but there's fewer hiding places now.

Put all the cash in one big pot? Shit, that'll make skimming harder, man, what were you clowns thinking? Oh, it was the voters... Uh, nevermind...

You mean they can't appoint their family, friends and neighbors to do-nothing jobs which only come to light every 50 years when their patronage rewards welfare jobs are exposed by mother nature? What is this world coming to?
Maybe Bob in Zimbabwe has a job awaiting you now. Dear Mr. _______, I know you don't know me, but let me explain.....

I recall a N'Orl'ns' politician being asked why city cops were paid so low. His reply, "They make it up in bribes."
Can't say I support rebuilding the city as it was. Maintaining sections that are 20 feet below sea level makes no sense at all. Those were also the high crime/shoot-whitey-on-sight wards that I avoided like the plague.

"failure to maintain" is a valid criticism, but the Army Corps staff and the contractors who never embedded the sheetpiling to correct depths should all be in prison

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
