What get's me is, JSO was told about him some time back and asked to pick his ass up on the outstanding warrants....didn't happen

Yesterday, JSO had "no comment."

Wouldn't want to be the dude(s) that dropped the ball on that one

If he's still alive, I just have my doubts (not at thing to support them BTW) that he's still in Tampa.

I'm hoping he took option "B" on the pre-plea bargain agreement, and offed himself in a vacant building somewhere. Not like we don't have a couple of donor places available

Find him when his rotting arse starts to decay!

Ho could this possibly happen? He shot both officers in the head at close range. That's why one friend of mine doesn't wear a vest cause he says the bad guys go for the head shot.

Here's a link to one article. I feel so badly about this I can't even express my feelings. I don't know the officers on this board but please guys be careful.

It is still a good thing to wear the vests anyway. Proof in the pudding is that the Polk Deputies survived a week prior. One of the Deputies took two to the chest and lived (bruised badly but alive). The easy shot is center mass in the largest target (torso). Just because this guy was close enough to hit the smaller target doesn't mean any officer should forgo the vest because there is a smaaaaallll percentage shot to the head that is possible. The larger percentage shot is still the body. Police train to hit the body first for the same reason, and if the bad guy doesn't go down to start working toward the head. Its the same vain as a seatbelt. Just because that one person was trapped, doesn't mean the other 9,999,999 people weren't saved by the seatbelt. To say "I might get trapped so I won't wear it" is insane.

Absolutely!!

A lot of the "bad guys" are more proficient than we are (as I speak and haven't hit the range in a year!). Just the same, the greater chance is, you're going to take a shot to the torso.

Police train to hit the body first for the same reason, and if the bad guy doesn't go down to start working toward the head.

Good to hear they're still teaching that

We started teaching that method way back "in the day".

Back then we called it "Vertical Tracking."

You essentially started at thier belly button and worked your way north to thier eye sockets!!!

Designed to create IMMEDIATE and TOTAL Cardiovascular and Neurological Dysfunction!...in other words...if you can't win thier hearts and minds, the you shut down them both down...!!

...for now...

Not exactly what most would have preferred, but at least it's over so the officers, friends and family, can attend tomorrows services with the knowledge that this worthless POS, this waste of flesh. this "air thief", is now behind bars where he belongs!!

I'd have rather they had to scrape him up with a spatula and place his remains in a glad lock bag, but it is what it is....

Thanks to the men and women of law enforcement that committed thier time and efforts to the manhunt.

Thanks to the citizens of this (and every other county) that supported the effort with thier thoughts, prayers, comments and works.

One of the most memorable events for me in recent years, was Matt & DIOGI In Polk County. That procession revealed "street people", people that you know damned well, had previously had "run in's" with the law, vagrants, homeess....well, you get the picture....standing at attention, holding thier baseball caps over thier hearts, holding signs of support for the officer and LE in general.....as the procession passed.

There were times I was praying that no one stopped ahead....it was hard to see through the tears....

As many of us here know, it's times like these that bring out the best in people

I hope we can stop "bringing out the best" for a while....

R.I.P. thy good and faithful servants...
