Tigers and bears sure. Hell, I'll even grant you wildebeest and the like, but domestic cattle? You definitely don't need lethal force when you run into one.

I wonder what it's like to shoot down a stupid grazing animal with all the power provided by a hundred billion humans concentrated in your hands.  Does it make one feel special?

[Scipio]

Why can't they get their meat from the supermarket, where no animals were harmed to produce it?

[DGuller]

Was that cop trying to pull over the cow at 0:33 mark?

Where was this? The UK?
Those guys never killed anyone.
This was probably their high point, their apex.

yes.

Hey, its not like you get a chance to actually shoot something all that often. Gotta take it when it presents itself.

Is this some kind of urban area?  Law enforcement doesn't know how to deal with escaped livestock?  As far as I could tell they put ten bullets into a cow.  Not a bull, a cow.  I thought the cops made the right choice in Ohio where they had to put down all those escaped lions and bears and wolves.  This this is just incompetence.

Did they think that the sirens, lights and brandished weapons were going to impress the cow?

Cops shoot deer all the time. Fuckers will go through your front window and the only real way to deal with them is to start blastin'.

Nobody owns the deer though.   Somebody owned that cow.  It's be like if the police shot up my monitor because they thought one of the flying toasters on the screen saver was coming at him.  I'd be pretty pissed. They knew where the cow was.  It's not like was going to get away.  Live stock escape all the time.  It's not that hard to gather them back up.  If they were going to bring the cow down, at least bring a rifle.  It's pretty clear the pistol was insufficient.

[Ed Anger]

I'd still form a kampfgruppe and counterattack any cow incursions.

[Zoupa]

Ah, Qc policemen. Cream of the crop.

Yea, but if you have the animal immobilized, or if you can approach it. You can put it down with a single shot, even from a sidearm. Emptying your magazine at it and only wounding it is just ignorant.

A cow got loose on a busy bridge in Rhode Island last week, and the cops were able to capture it no problem. Rhode Island isn't exactly cow country.
