Deputy bitten while trying to subdue 8-foot alligator in Deltona

A Volusia County sheriff's deputy is hospitalized in serious but stable condition after being bitten by an 8-foot-long alligator he was trying to subdue in a parking lot.

[oh please]

I guess it isn't as easy as the Crocodile Hunter made it look, may he rest in peace!

Some people are just too stupid! The badge dont make you superman son!

[Geeezzzz]

If this happened in FTL or Miami, they would of shoot it and said it had a Knife.

It just goes to show that most members of the law enforcement community are not the best and brightest.

Should have waited for the aligator catchers.

I hear ya. All it takes to be a cop is a high school diploma and a sociopathic personality. Overglorified mall security guards!

The Gator knows that apartment complex, so does my ex b/f, sorry piece of *** and he'd be knowing and hangin out there at that complex; so maybe its a male thing - you know wat I'm sayin! By the way, I hope dat Gator dont be gettin no hoof and mouth disease from bitin that poo-lice-man! knowatimsayin!

Silly deputy...he thought he could jump on the alligator like he was Steve Irwin.......Guess he never listened to the disclaimers on everything saying "don't try this, leave it to the experts"

[Veteran]

If you mess with the bull (gator) you get the horns (teeth)

Save our gators

It's mating season - leave us alone

Sounds like the same way your deputies do traffic stops. Throw a towel over the driver's head, jump on his back and then the partner shoots him. Another dumb cop

[pie]

LOL, would love to see the "throw a towel over it, jump on its back, and grab its mouth trick" LOL

Gator Rodeo!

The technique would have worked had the deputy known what he was doing. Instead he was hot dogging. Must have been a couple of women around. Fortunately he only got bit on the leg. It could just as easily have been his source of testosterone.
