Only in America

[Elegia]

I live over in the good old U.S of A now, in sunny Florida. The cops don't fanny about over here. The story below is true.

Some 'dirtbag' in Polk County, Florida, who got pulled over in a routine
traffic stop shot and killed the deputy who stopped him. The
deputy was shot eight times at close range.
Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed.
A statewide manhunt ensued.
The low-life was found hiding in a wooded area with his gun. SWAT
team officers fired and hit the guy 68 times.
Now here's the kicker: Naturally, the media asked why they shot him
68 times.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, told the Orlando Sentinel: "That's all the bullets we had!"

Being Yanks, did any of the police officers die in "friendly fire"?

You can tell it's American, they even state when the punchline's coming
