Concrete evidence! Police shoot dangerous looking alligator, only to find it's a lawn ornament
They don't get many alligators in the suburbs of land-locked Kansas City, but if and when they do the local police like to think they can handle it.
Officers responding to a rare sighting in the suburb of Independence, Missouri, left nothing to chance.
Seeing the alligator's head lurking menacingly in the weeds leading down to a pond they fired off one shot with perfect precision.
Noting that the beast hadn't moved, they fired again.

When they saw the bullet bounce off the gator's head they realised that they were tackling a concrete lawn ornament.

shit happens. I can imagine you'd think it's a real one if you're like 10m away. I wouldn't go closer than 10m to an alligator myself either.

The title of this thread begs the question, is there such a think as a harmless looking alligator?

I'd expect them to know it was a statue from the whole bullet-resistant alligator thing.

If it was Solid Concrete, they'd ricochet.
