Pretty slow day at the local news station in the KC metro area where I live. Cannot understand why these cops felt shooting it was the best course of action. http://www.fox4kc.com/news/wdaf-ind...t-concrete-alligator-20110531,0,4098846.story
Concrete Jungle... full of idiots!!

So if a civilian had done this, would it be a laughing matter, or felony charges? Somehow I suspect the latter...
I think someone should be punished. It's curious to see the chain of events here, and had the owner of this concrete alligator not witnessed these police do this, noone would be the wiser!
Lose the badges and go to jail like any other idiot with a gun?(key word idiot or in the case idiots.)
Fox did an updated story last night saying there was a call to police from a neighbor reporting an alligator sighting. Then police called the Department of Conservation and the story goes that the Department of Conservation advised police that if the alligator is found to simply "shoot it in the head". Maybe because KCMO isn't known for it's alligators, shooting it was the favorable option. Police were said to have called and apologized to the owner of the gator. The owner has garnered some noteriety in KC, getting recognized at the local hardware store as "that alligator guy".
