Well the guy that shot the Polk County Deputy and killed him, and his K9 dog,
and shot and wounded another Deputy was found hiding like the snake he was under
a tree and brush and when failing to follow the orders of the SWAT team that
fond was shot and killed. Good!
I won't have to pay for his support in jail, his food, his air conditioning,
his attorney or any of the other hunderds of thousands that would be spent on
him. He got what was coming to him. Sorry if that sounds a little course, but I
am tired of the good guys getting crapped on and the bad guys being the
victims.
He had a gun, he killed a police officer and his dog, shot another, was found
and had the dead Deputies gun and didn't follow orders. He died just the way he
killed, by the bullet.
Good, chaulk one up for the good guys.

LAKELAND, Fla. -- SWAT team members Friday morning shot and
killed a man accused of killing one Polk County sheriff's deputy and injuring
another after a routine traffic stop on Thursday.
The incident prompted a 22-hour manhunt that involved nearly 1,000 law
enforcement officers.
"God will be the judge and jury this time," Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd
announced at about 10 a.m. Friday. "We found the suspect. He had dug and was
underneath a very large oak tree that had fallen over."
He said the SWAT team found the suspect while they were walking shoulder to
shoulder through thick brush. The sheriff said a SWAT team member told him that
they had spotted the suspect and told him to show his hands. The suspect showed
one of his hands and a SWAT team member grabbed a cloth off of the suspect's
other hand, saw the gun and started shooting.
"SWAT team members shot and killed the suspect who killed our deputy," Judd
said. "The killer chose his end. He chose his end because he didn't show both
hands."
Judd said the suspect was found about 100 yards from the spot where he
exchanged fire with a Lakeland police officer on Thursday.
"The firearm we've recovered, and this was brought out by one of the SWAT
team guys that was with the suspect, appears at this time to be the .45-caliber
handgun of Deputy Matt Willams," Judd said.
Williams, a K-9 officer, was killed on Thursday while looking for the
suspect, who fled on foot after he was pulled over during a routine traffic stop
by Deputy Douglas Speirs.
Speirs was shot in the leg and is expected to make a full recovery. Williams'
K-9, Diogi, was also killed.
Judd said he does not yet know which law enforcement agency members were in
the SWAT team because agencies have been blended for the search.
Judd said earlier Friday morning that the man gave Speirs a false Florida
identification card on Thursday, but investigators believe the man's name is
either Alex or Andrew Cloxton or Angelo Freeland.
Judd said they still have not positively identified him, but they say they
killed the man they were looking for.
The man had been described as a 6-foot tall, black man with dreadlocks. He
spoke with a Jamaican accent, according to Speirs.
"It's not a matter of who he is physically. It's a matter of who he is by
name," Judd said on Friday morning.
Judd said investigators believe the man is from Miami and may have been
involved in a drug ring.
Hundreds of officers from other counties have aided in the search. Some drove
for several hours to get to the scene, about 35 miles east of Tampa.
Judd said about 500 officers from around Central Florida helped aided in the
search. Since the incident occurred on Thursday morning, more than 1,000
officers from local, state and federal agencies have helped.
"It was excellent work by the deputies and the police officers who initially
arrived on the scene to set the perimeter so secure, so quickly over such a
large area to keep the suspect from moving," Judd said.
Ten thousand to 15,000 people live in the search area and some were told to
stay inside their locked homes while the manhunt was ongoing.
Kathleen High School in the area was closed on Friday and the school's
homecoming football game was moved to Lakeland's Bryant Stadium with a revised
kickoff time of 4 p.m., school officials said.
The school district said even after the suspect was killed, officials decided
to keep the change in time and location because it would be harder to change
back than to leave the change in place.
Also, there is still a lot of police activity around the high school.
Kathleen High School will resume school as scheduled on Monday.
