Florida Man!

What an idiot.

‘I’m cracking this beer, OK?’: Florida man asks police if he can drink a beer during his arrest

PORT ORANGE, Fla. (TMX/Gray News) – A Florida man who was wearing sunglasses at night asked officers to let him crack open another cold one shortly before he was arrested.

The man had allegedly fired a gun during a dispute with a neighbor, police said.

The Port Orange Police Department said officers responded to a dispute between neighbors shortly before 9 p.m. on Tuesday.

This month's folder of "Florida Man" stories is close to full already, and there's still 12 days to go!

Unfortunately, you could probably find this kind of action happening in every state, but Florida does get the prize for sheer volume of incidents.

Each cop must have had three clips. 1 in the gun and 2 on the belt. That's 90 rounds between them.

And they didn't even fire one shot? He had 2 lethal beers in his hands. He wasn't following conflicting orders. Shots had been fired. Surely they were in fear for their safety.

Don't they train these officers?
