This made me laugh out loud. I'd posted a few days ago about police on a hair trigger. I'd used the sad examples of the dancers at the Jefferson Memorial being arrested, and of the Pima County police that stormed a vet's home looking for drugs and shooting him 22 times in front of his family, and security guards at a soccer game using their nightstick on a subdued prankster. We've all read lately of the taser incidents. But this one takes the cake.
In landlocked Kansas city...it all started when some kids came home from playing in the neighborhood and told their dad that they saw an alligator...who called 911...who called the conservation officer...who called police...who dispatched three officers.
Independence Police Shoot Alligator Lawn Ornament
"Police responding to an alligator sighting in a suburban Kansas City pond took quick action to dispatch the big reptile. It wasn't until after the second rifle shot bounced off the beast Sunday that the three Independence officers realized it was a concrete lawn ornament.Independence police spokesman Tom Gentry said the department received a call from a man who said a gator had been spotted in the woods. Gentry said the alligator was in the weeds near a tree by a pond and it looked real. An officer shot the gator twice in the head -- per instructions from a conservation officer -- before realizing it wasn't moving.Gentry said the landowner told officers he put the fake gator there to keep children off his property."
Police told the landowner that a 'no trespassing' sign would have been wiser. I'm not so sure.
