I usually don't have a problem with the police. They do their thing, and I do mine. Last time I saw them, they showed up at my house because they got a noise complaint. But they didn't even tell us to quit partying, They just wanted us to keep it down.
With that said, sometimes, SOMETIMES I have to wonder who the people are that are "serving and protecting" us. For instance:
"VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. -- Three Central Florida deputies are being reprimanded after an officer was bitten and hospitalized by an 8-foot alligator.
Deputy Keith Baughman, 39, responded to calls of a large alligator loose in the parking lot of the Brightside Apartments located on Caribbean Street in May. Baughman and other deputies found the alligator roaming the area. Witnesses said the deputy threw a towel on the alligator, jumped on its back and tried to wrestle it. Baughman was thrown off the back and then bitten, witnesses said." His pants ripped up and blood was gushing out and everything," witness Carlos Martinez said. "He started limping away and the alligator was laughing at him. The dude then shot it twice in the head."
The Volusia County Sheriff's Office said a second officer, Deputy Jason Stickles, 27, shot the alligator repeatedly."I said, 'Don't shoot it,'" witness Jasmin Harris said. "Just wait until the animal people come out. I don't know why they shot it in the first place. They shouldn't have jumped on it. That wasn't their job."
The alligator was hit but did not die and continued to roam the apartment complex. A trapper eventually came out and killed the animal with a bang stick. Officials said Baughman and the other officers received the reprimand for not following policy. Watch Local 6 News for more on this story."
>>>>This story is ridiculous. Seriously, the cop was so angry at the "Laughing alligator" that he shot him?! I bet that laugh had a hint of both PeeWee Herman and Woody Woodpecker. Hell, I'd laugh at him, too. What an idiot. Who jumps on an Alligator and attempts to wrestle it? I'll tell you who. Someone who's seen to many episodes of Jackass.
Jesus. Should I give up on the human race now?
*sigh.

I think maybe he was frightened because alligators aren't supposed to be able to laugh. He obviously assumed that it was a new breed of hyper intelligent reptile capable of understanding the concept of humiliation. Such a creature would no doubt be able to overthrow Florida in less than a week and could be emperor of the southeast in less than a month. Taking all this into account that brave red neck decided to stop the cold-blooded despot before he could even begin. In short, that man should be paid a hero's wage.
