Yes sir, Colonel Grady Judd, Polk County Sheriff. The dreadlocked perpetrator ambushed the officer, took the officers weapon and shot him "Matt" execution style, killed his K9 officer "Diogi" and wounded another officer after a routine traffic stop and foot chase. The LEO's got a quick perimeter and waited until the next morning before sending the SWAT team shoulder to shoulder into the woods where the POS was hiding. The perp refused to drop his weapon so the SWAT team solved the problem.
The ACLU was all over the extreme use of force but that died off when they realized where they were (Polk County) and who they were trying to defend.
We have the highest number of idiots per capita than any other county IMO.
Last year, we made national news when a group of teenagers in Mulberry decided to video tape the beating of one of their classmates over something that was put on facebook. You should have heard the comments from the Colonel on that one.
