        Probably was NOT an AR-15, and was being used by a sane person QUALIFIED to carry the weapon. Let's not ignore the details here, friend.

        Unless cops are now cruising around with AK variants, or they are living their Jaws fantasy by carrying M1 Garands, as their service rifles, excellent chance it is either an AR-15 or the military equivalent.

        And then the deputy had about 50 George Soros paid actors surround his house threatening him for killing the innocent animal! Can I help you with your fake news stories?

        In Australia such an act for the crocodile for have caused a national outrage and a week of national mourning. These ugly things, like the alligator, should be only plastic and on TV, directed by Spielberg.
