Sheriff: "You kill a policeman it means no arrest, no Miranda rights, no negotiations- - nothing but as many bullets as we can shoot into you - - PERIOD."
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. As soon as he took a shot at the SWAT team, officers opened fire on him. They hit the guy 68 times.
Naturally, the liberal media went nuts and asked why they had to shoot the poor, undocumented immigrant 68 times.
Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel: "Because that's all the ammunition we had.
Now, is that just about the all-time greatest answer or what!
The Coroner also reported that the illegal alien died of natural causes. When asked by a reporter how that could be, since there were 68 bullet wounds in his body, he simply replied: (BEST QUOTE ever), "When you are shot 68 times you are naturally gonna die."

The whole story is even more compelling than the snippet.
(the perp shot the police dog, too)
Angilo Freeland (1979 – 29 September 2006) was an Antiguan national who was pulled over for speeding in Lakeland, Florida by Polk County Sheriff's Deputy Doug Speirs around noon on September 28, 2006. After giving the officer a fake ID, and the officer called for backup, Freeland (who was armed with a handgun) ran into the woods and hid. A K9 unit responded and the two officers and the dog began searching for Freeland. Freeland shot K9 officer Deputy Vernon "Matt'" Williams 9 times, including one close-range shot into the officer's head and a second shot into the officer's head with the muzzle of the pistol pressed against the victim's skull. Freeland also killed the dog, and then shot Deputy Speirs in the leg when he came to assist his fellow-officer. Freeland took the dead officer's weapon and ammunition and hid in the woods again.[1] [2]
Deputy Speirs notified his dispatcher of the situation and authorities mounted a massive manhunt, including 500 officers, every available police dog, a SWAT tank and a helicopter. Law enforcement officers searched the woods for Freeland, who came out of the woods once to shoot at the searchers. He was finally cornered by ten SWAT officers the next day. The SWAT team members say that when Freeland pointed his gun at them, they opened fire, shooting Freeland 68 times out of their 110 rounds fired. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd later explained the volume of the fusillade, in response to reporters' questions:
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. Quite frankly, we weren't taking any chances.... I suspect the only reason 110 rounds was all that was fired was that's all the ammunition they had. We were not going to take any chance of him shooting back. [3]
Freeland's family called on Florida Governor Jeb Bush to appoint an independent, unbiased investigator, because they claimed that the Polk County Sheriff's Office, which reviewed the shooting by an internal investigation, was biased due to the murder of Deputy Williams. They argued, based on the number of shots fired and Sheriff Judd's remarks, that the police used too much force and that they should have made more of an effort to take Angilo alive. Joyce Freeland, Angilo's mother stated that "All we want is for all questions surrounding why this happened to be answered." In response, Assistant State Attorney Chip Thullbery stated that "I think their concerns are misplaced. I believe that there will be a thorough investigation of all the incidents and that our office will do a thorough, independent and impartial review of that investigation."[4]
His family claimed Angilo was not involved in any illicit activity. However, his home was the subject of an ongoing drugs and weapons investigation at the time of the shooting. When authorities searched his house, they recovered several firearms including an AK-47, an SKS and a .380-caliber handgun. Police also uncovered a journal in which Freeland wrote about going out "in a moment of Bezerk madness, forcing the enemy to play the end game before it is time."[5]
In December 2006, the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) asked the FBI to review the shooting of Freeland after the department received a letter from the Florida Civil Rights Association, which called Freeland's shooting "profoundly disturbing." The FBI subsequently announced they would investigate whether authorities used excessive force in the incident. In June 2008, the DoJ announced it had cleared the Polk County Sheriff's Office of any wrongdoing in the incident, stating: "After careful consideration, we concluded that the evidence does not establish a prosecutable violation of the federal civil rights statutes. Accordingly, we have closed our investigation."[6]
In a news story dated June 14, 2007, Gabrielle Finley of TheLedger.com wrote:
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office said today that area law enforcement agencies have arrested 19 people in Orange and Hernando counties who were connected with Angilo Freeland in a street-level drug trafficking operation.
Freeland is the man deputies say shot and killed Deputy Matt Williams and his K-9 DiOGi last September following a traffic stop.
In a press conference today, Polk Sheriff Grady Judd said Freeland served as an assassin in the drug operation. Officials suspect him of killing up to 15 people in Latin America for not paying their drug debts. They are unsure if he killed anyone in Florida, but are still investigating that angle.
Freeland was “pure evil in the flesh,” Judd said."[7]
LOL ! I know Sheriff Grady Judd doesn’t play around.
More than a year ago, he nailed a man from Pueblo, CO for selling a book on pedophilia. The sheriff had the book bought and the man sent it to Florida and then charges were filed for obscene materials and the man got extradited to FL and spent time there until he plead guilty. He now has to register as a sex offender.
I love a story with a happy ending..
It’s nice that they take care of their own.
Amen and AMEN!
Emailed: Hope this goes viral.
The wife of the officer shot and not killed is currently on the job with me today. The officer killed is buried 4 miles up the road. It was HORRIBLE. My coworker got a call to go to hospital. When she left work she didn’t know which had been killed until she arrived at hospital.

Great story & great ending. Good thing this has not happened now under the commie pigs Holder & 0dumb0’s reign of terror. Any white cop associated with this would be hauled in for civil rights charges & excessive use of force. RAT bastards Holder & 0dumb0!!! They will deserve their eternity roasting in Hell & the Lake of Fire.
Probably an Urban Legend, but I read of an Old West coroners jury turning in a “Suicide” verdict after a gunfight. It seems there was a grudge between these two guys and they finally had it out. The one guy with a pistol attacked the guy with the rifle. When the verdict was read, the judge blew up, asking could they come to such a decision. They replied “Anybody who shoots a pistol at a man with a rifle is committing suicide”.
I grew up in Southern CA with many Latino friends. Although I believe that there are good and bad in all nationalities, illegals have absolutely no right being here.
I grew up being taught that there is one thing worse than a thief, and that is a liar. Anyone that enters this country without proper authorization has lied to themselves and to all they make contact with.
