But what were they doing in the guy's back yard?

You come out of your shop at the sound of gunfire. There you see three cops lined up at the shore of your pond, blazing away at an alligator.

Except there isn't any gator there.

Be patient - you first need to endure 20 seconds of heartwarming monkey story...
 

My favorite part of the story...

After realizing their bullets were bouncing off the yard art alligator, police left.

Without explaining what they were doing on the guy's land in the first place. Without so much as a "sorry for the [trespass, gunfire, spinning ricochets, property damage]. I wanna be a cop in my next life, if they can get away with bullshit like this, consequence-free.
