VIDEO: Straight-Talking Sheriff Shuts It Down
Relationships between law enforcement and the media are often prickly, but a remark made by a Florida sheriff really put a thorn in the side of one reporter.
During a recent press conference, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said that while trying to apprehend some dangerous killers, he and his deputies were ready for a gunfight if the suspects did not come peacefully.
One reporter took the opportunity to question Judd about the use of the word “gunfight,” asking him if he regretted using it.
Check out the video above to hear Judd’s surprisingly candid response.
