If You Point a Gun at Polk County Sheriffs' Deputies...

Well, just don't do that. 'We Shot Him A Lot,' Felon Killed By Polk County Deputies During 'Active Shooter' Incident - The Police Tribune

This is peak Florida, in so many ways.

Polk County, Florida is about halfway between Tampa and Orlando.

The incident began at 6:07 p.m. on June 3, when a woman called 911 to report her husband, 56-year-old Michael Alan Loman, was shooting a rifle inside their trailer house located at 3925 Combee Road, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) said in a press release.

Loman’s wife said her husband threatened to kill her and any deputies who might show up at the house, and that he also talked about committing “suicide by cop,” the sheriff’s office said.

So he was shooting inside the trailer. Then he went outside and continued to shoot. When he went back inside to reload the wife ran outside. That was about the time the deputies showed up.

Moments later, Loman barged out onto the front porch with a rifle, according to the PCSO.

“Deputies told Loman to drop the rifle multiple times,” the sheriff’s office said. “He did not.”

Polk County, Florida, is home to Sheriff Grady Judd.

“We shot him a lot,” Sheriff Judd said during a press conference on Friday night. “He chose for us to shoot him, and we accommodated his request.”

Sheriff Judd does not have much sympathy for bad guys.

  1. Congress should have Sheriffs like Judd help them out as to "solving" mass killers/gangs/ etc.
