too long, not long enough, too quick, not fast enough, just go ahead and say it, there's no pleasing an advanced, complex mind.

If only we all had head mounted cameras and a fantastic central control/command area where a panel of precogs view all of our daily lives and redirects us if we make begin to make an errant decision.

oh please. It looks like a bunch of kids were having fun with their toy guns. Hopefully, there wasn't anyone/kid behind those bushes.

The part I liked the best was the POS in the patrol car that pulled up to the animal with lights and siren. I half expected him to get out and ask for ID.

Somehow I didn't get much of this. What was the wrecker doing? Never did see the pigs.

Doesn't matter. I lived in a small Southern town for a year in the early 90's and saw enough of this hillbilly sch!t to know I'll never even drive through a place like that.

:lol: :lol:

in a few months some rookie will hear..

' well back in 2011 I responded to a loose Cape Buffalo..
took 30 rounds to kill that sucker..'

Rika

pig chit

there was no reason to kill that animal

just a bunch of trigger happy fools with guns
and no respect for private property [the cow]

Docs high blood pressure and coffee help?
 

How much do coffee drive up blood pressure? I had about 4 cups this morning with a client and now my blood pressure is 160/104. I took a tablet of blood pressure med. should I be freaking out by now? My normal resting heart rate is about 65 and it is 75 now. My heart feels like its pounding a little bit. I quit coffeee a few years ago and drink only decafe now, well, not this morning. Any ideas? Coffee never bother me like this. Am I just scaring myself?

WTF did I just see? Are you kidding?

Putting aside the fact that there was NO reason to shoot the cow, what kind of lunatic shoots a cow with a pistol??!?!?! Really? Not one officer had .223 rifle or a shotgun with buckshot in it?

AND putting aside the fact that they did open fire with pistol, what kind of idiot can't make a head shot from 10ft away, with his service weapon, on a COW?!?!? Their head is as big as a freaking garbage can lid!

That was pathetic. Knuckle draggers with gun and uniforms.

Docs, how much coffee drive up blood pressure? Help?

crap, I posted in the wrong place. How do I move it

It happens all the time.

I don't even think I can count the number of friends and family that have been struck down in their prime by a loose calf. These cops did that town a service, with a beast like that on the prowl after dark an entire town could have been wiped off the map.

Really?

Besides being incredibly unnecessary, that was hard to watch.

Who was being Served or Protected there anyway?

Speaking of fishing poles. I have been confronted by territorial(?) farm animals....cows, horses & bulls. Now all you ropin' wranglers may know how to deal with this, but when you're alone & armed only with 8.5 feet of graphite this becomes an issue of personal safety. If one of these SOB just steps on your foot it'll ruin your day. A timely retreat was always my answer....cops don't have that option. The pistol is not a good one but it's better than a fishin' pole.

You think the owner will tell the cops to shoot his walking , moo'ing cash on hooves?Are you nuts?
The cops shooting that cow means the Farmer eats the loss, cause at that point the cow becomes nothing but waste, it can't be used for food no more.. the farmer looses.

If the ower was around he would have herded it back to teh barn on bare feet if he had to..That cow did nothing dangerous, it was just a bit exited as would any animal would if it was chased down by patrol cars with Effing flashing lights on the roof.

It is a demonstration of bad judgement. period.

why not ram it with the cruiser..
dog pile..
beat it senseless with their baton's..
then taze it a couple of times to be sure..
pose for pics...

Rika

they were probably shooting it cause they were worried about denting the cruiser..if the chase prolonged.. and they had just washed it :rolleyes:

Not sure who was being protected, but I'm pretty sure beef is being served.

LOL, that's some funny sheet.

Regardless of the scenario, that was handled poorly. Once the call to take the animal out was made (whether or not that was a good call), it should have been implemented quickly and decisively. Instead we got to watch the Keystone Cops torture an animal to death through their ineptitude.

My version is no more incorrect than yours. Period.
I wasn't quoting fact. Re-read it. For that mater, neither is anyone else on this thread.

they should have called in the same USAF fighter jocks who used to strafe cattle -- those guys KNOW what to do

tell the kids to get in the fraking house till someone that KNOWS what they are doing comes along.
if they need to keep the puplic safe then, keep the public away.
they had enough crusiers to keep the section of road closed in front of the ONE HOUSE in the picture.
then let the cow calm down and eat some grass. or get some border collies to stare the cow down and into a LIVESTOCK trailer.
