Gator shot after biting deputy on leg

A Volusia County deputy was bitten on the leg Thursday night when he responded to a call about an alligator in a Deltona apartment-complex parking lot, the Sheriff's Office said.

Who trained this idiot? Deputies do not jump on alligator's backs. I hope he hurts for a while.

[Mad]

The policeman attacked the alligator first, all the witnesses said so.

We have a winner, Yessiree! a genuine Darwin Award Winner!

Is anyone else scratching their head as to where these officers are trained or who interviews them and how they can be allowed to carry a loaded weapon ? Excuse me , but the crime rate is growing because it sure seems that the thin blue line has become overloaded with dunder heads !
Poor gator did not deserve this ending . The police admit that the officer did not follow procedure . Wonder if he will just get a slap on the knuckles ? Watch out citzens !

I lived in Deltona for 30plus years. Trust me VCSO has some real winners on the sheriffs dept.

This is just one of the lesser misconducts of the VCSO. I have witnessed them on many occasions falsifying reports, violating their oaths and lying to protect their coworkers. They do not deserve the respect from our citizens until they can abide by our laws. Loser Hypocrites, Speeders and bullys, thats what they are mostly!
