You've got to admire US police honesty

Angilo Freeland — who was suspected of fatally shooting a deputy officer after being pulled over for speeding Thursday — was hit 68 times by the SWAT team members' shots, the examination released Saturday showed.

He also was suspected of wounding a deputy and killing a police dog

The wounded deputy had pulled Freeland over for speeding and became suspicious of his identification. The suspect got nervous and bolted into the woods, officials said.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said he was not concerned by the number of shots fired.

"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," Judd said by phone Saturday. "Quite frankly, we weren't taking any chances."

Ten SWAT officers surrounded Freeland on Friday as he hid beneath brush and a fallen tree in a rural area. Authorities say he raised the gun belonging to the deputy he had killed, prompting nine officers to fire.

Asked by a reporter, "Why had the officers shot the suspect 68 times?", Judd replied, "Well, that was all the bullets we had!".

You've got to love the Sheriff's honesty!

"Weight at time of death? 120 kilos ... oh ... minus bullets 97 kilos."

Is that for real? Reminds me of that scene in Street Kings, where the cop was shot point blank by two guys with machine guns until they ran out of bullets. Disturbing stuff.

This is the true form of mateship...You know that your mates will stand up for you when someone else has done you wrong. The gunman had it coming to him.

It reminds me of something i saw on a TV show a while back.

I prisoner sliped his hand cuffs while he was on trial, stole the cops gun and shot him point blank in the face. (Cop was married with 4 kids)
The next time he apeard in court he was wheeled in hannibal lector style with a FULL face mask. He was beaten beyond recognition and the injuries where that bad they he had to wear the full face mask.

End of the day 2 wrongs dont make a right, or whatever the saying is.
