Ummm...wrestling alligators is a bad idea, even if you are think you can win. Unfortunately, my tax dollars will pay this deputy's salary while we recovers from his injuries. He made a foolish mistake, and showed poor judgement. I don't want him walking around with a badge and a gun if he's a fool! Hopefully he can be removed from the force once he recovers.

Um, I suggest you go figure out what a bang stick is before getting overly indignant about the trapper using one.
That is a relatively safe, relatively humane way to dispatch an injured animal. And generally speaking it's much more accurate.

Just make sure there isn't a gas line (or a sewer line!) under the animal's head when you kill it!

Deltona is a "sheet" hole? Damn, I just bought an 800 SF Condo there!! with a live alligator pond in the back. the realtor told me they are great to watch and I would be able to re-sell my condo in 6 months for $20,000 more than what I paid for it!!
I have been to gatorland. those Gators don't look that hard to handle. you just throw 'em a couple'a dead chickens and go at it
We sure won't miss you when you take a swim out back with those chickens

What an idiot. Now the alligator's dead, thanks to this cop's false heroics. Why didn't he just leave it and call the expert?
Let's see if you have any knowledge of what they do with nussiance gators over 5 foot they kill they and you can buy the meat. Most of the trappers sell the hide and donate the meat to needy families

Only in Wahoo-land could this happen.
The deputies there have the same I.Q. as the alligators.

Hey My brother al got attacked,jumped on, Shot at, and killed just for walking across a parking lot. My family is gonna sue the cops for wrongful death. We have been were for 60 million years, and you pea brained humans have been here for 10 thousand. We were here first. Go back to where you came from.

What was this cop thinking? Jumping on the back of an alligator and trying to ride it like a cowboy? The cop should have called in the professional in the first place. It really amazes me the people who get badges and guns.
Yeah, this goof dated my daughter years ago. No brains. What do you expect, it's Deltona.

That jerk killed it with a "bang stick"....couldn't have shot it with one quick shot? Yea, he's going to sell the meat and the hide.....such a hero!
One quick shot is how a bang stick works, and selling the meat and hide is how these guys earn a living. Go find a manatee to hump.

Even if they remove him from the force it`s unfortunate that there are hundreds of cops just as stupid he is.

Not true. The gators are a lot smarter.

<quoted text>Ever been to Deltona, dummy? There aren't corners with drug dealers. We are a rural community with 80,00 people.
I don't trust cops, but this guy was a hero. If some kid had walked by this dangerous animal and been killed, we would have a tragedy.
No doubt police in our country are out of control and the war on drugs is a sham, but this guy deserves our praise. Thank you, Deputy.
That was stupid. This officer should have secured the area and waited for a trapper to catch the alligator. The gator wasn't doing a thing.

He can only earn the Darwin Award by losing his breeding capabilites. Even though we all feel he SHOULD lose this ability, he didn't.

Yeah the morom of the year award. He`s lucky that he still has those balls. The gator should have chomped down on them real hard.

Let's see...one deputy wants to be an alligator wrestler and the other cannot kill an animal with his sidearm.

Which species deserved to live?

It happens every year. Some cowboy cop in Central Florida decides to dispatch a gator, or a Nile monitor lizard, or a python. If they had simply walked away, the gator would have gone back to the water. Granted, an eight footer is not man's best friend, but this adventure sounds like "The Keystone Cops" are back in town.

Next time let the alligator eat the ungreatful woman. Or let her wait for the "correct" people to come and help her. If the police come is bad and if they dont show is bad.

The serious discpline will come from his fellow officers and their critigue of the episode.
