This is a prime example of when we just need to net gun a dude.
A witness told detectives they saw the suspect run at deputies with the shears. He was tased twice, but it didn’t stop him.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said he climbed into the passenger side of a PCSO patrol vehicle, trying to get a deputy’s rifle.
That’s when two deputies, identified as a trainee and his trainer, opened fire on the suspect, killing him.
If you look up “failing up” in the dictionary, there is a picture of Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd staring back at you with his dead, dead eyes.
Well I guess it’s accurate training.

Gotta train them to kill young. Or when their brain is fully developed they’ll think about it. Someone would have died anyway. If not this guy then some poor black kid probably.
The epitome of FloridaMan is now deceased. There will never be another like him.
FloridaMan is like the Slayer. When one dies, another is called.
Dread Pirate Roberts!
GTA VI live action promotion is wild.
We get GTA6 LARPing before GTA6
I guess that solves the question if gators or cops are better to come across in a swamp.
Can some copy/paste article please. Site is blocked in my country
A man in Polk County was shot and killed by deputies on Monday after they say he was armed with garden shears and acting erratically after surviving an apparent gator attack.
Polk County Sheriff’s Office deputies began searching for Timothy Schultz, 42, just before 6 a.m. after a convenience store clerk reported he was acting “bizarre.”
Deputies spend about 40 minutes looking for the man, WFLA says.
Schultz then began swimming in an alligator-infested lake, nearby residents told officials.
A witness tried to throw Schultz a life preserver and another witness said Schultz growled at them when they tried to help, PCSO said.
Witnesses told deputies an alligator was spotted close to him as he swam across the lake.
Schultz emerged from the lake with an apparent alligator bite and began walking between houses while holding a pair of garden shears.
PCSO said he then used a brick to attempt to break into a resident’s truck.
A witness told detectives they saw the suspect run at deputies with the shears. He was tased twice, but it didn’t stop him.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said he climbed into the passenger side of a PCSO patrol vehicle, trying to get a deputy’s rifle.
That’s when two deputies, identified as a trainee and his trainer, opened fire on the suspect, killing him.
Judd said Schultz had a lengthy criminal history that included several arrests for methamphetamine.
This is a developing story and will be updated
That headline was a better story arc than Last of Us season 2.
Region locked
The police do more harm than good
Real life being more GTA than actual GTA.
We need more Florida Man stories.
Indeed, one whacked out MAGAt.
Assuming what is said in the article is true, this is a rare case where I think the lethal force is justifiable. The dude was probably on meth and their tasers where doing nothing as he attempted to take one of their rifles.
God bless Florida.
Classic cop shit. Show up after all the drama is over. Makes it worse.
There is only one bigger waste of money than cops. And that’s the Military. We have nukes. Fuckin’ try it. Go ‘head. I’ll pull the fuckin’ temple down on all of us.
