Police in San Antonio, Texas couldn't even fool the greenest rookies on the force to try to give a ticket on the illegal parker. They preferred keeping all their extremities attached. Alligators get cranky when ticketed.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — All it takes is one illegally parked troublemaker to tie up freeway traffic — especially if it's an 8-foot alligator sprawled across the pavement."I don't remember any of this in the academy," police Officer Albert Silva said of the traffic jam early Sunday. "As far as I know, there's no procedure on this other than: 'Don't get bit."'
Police car sirens didn't persuade the big reptile to budge off Loop 410.
Police threw orange traffic cones at the gator, but it just snapped at the cones and flung them away.
The gator even assaulted a police car, biting a chunk out of its bumper.
Alligators, those tricksters of the Animal Uprising™ are now disguising themselves as parked cars. This isn't good. We'd recommend whacking each car firmly with a 9-iron as you pass them just to be sure they aren't disguised reptiles. (We won't be available to provide bail money, however. We're very busy here.)
