According to Snopes, the following is actually a true story. It's truly uplifting therefore.
Quote:
Some 'dirtbag' in Polk County Florida who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop ended up 'executing' the deputy who stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed. A state wide manhunt ensued.
The low-life was found hiding in a wooded area with his gun. SWAT team officers open fired and hit the guy 68 times.
Now here's the kicker:
Naturally, the media went nuts and asked why they shot him 68 times. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, told the Orlando Sentinel:'Because that's all the ammunition we had !!' (Talk about an all-time classic answer !!!)
