BEST QUOTE OF 2008...BRAVO FOR SHERIFF JUDD!!!

Gotta admire the man for being honest.


Some 'dirtbag' 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 low-life was found hiding in a wooded area with his gun. SWAT team officers open fired and hit the guy 68 times.

Now here's the kicker:

Naturally, the media went nuts and asked why they shot him 68 times. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, told the Orlando Sentinel: "Because that's all the ammunition we had !!" ... gotta love it!

Ranks right up there with, "...because they don't make a .46"

Sheriff Grady Judd is one fine man. I live in the county right next to Polk county and I was working the night the deputy was shot. My route took me past the area where said scumbag was contained. Choppers with IR could not locate the suspect because he had taken cover under a blown down oak tree. The next morning a shoulder to shoulder line started through the woods. It was then that an officer saw the suspect's arm under the tree with the murdered deputy's handgun in his hand. The suspect was told to drop the gun which he refused to do. IMHO the reason there were not more wounds to the suspect was because some of the SWAT team members were using full automatic weapons.

The loss of the Deputy and the K-9 were a high price to pay, but at least one more goblin is unable to commit any more murders. My condolences to the family of the Deputy who was killed.
