Alpha Mule Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 "A police constable and an acting sergeant blasted a cow eight times with a rifle and four times with a shotgun during a 'humane destruction' in Stockton-on-Tees in August last year."

death from below Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 As with anything linked with the police, the papers will make an issue of it. I'm alright though as I never make any mistakes what so ever in my nice safe office job so I can then feel all high and mighty when people in the real world make a cock up and I can gloat at how unprofessional they are.

Having been at a few incidents where the police wanted to shoot cows I'm very glad I've never witnessed it and we always got them back without needing to shoot them.

Frenchieboy Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Reports like these do make you wonder about the "Professionals" but we have to bare in mind that the newspapers are really going to make a meal out of anything like this that involves the police. Let's not over-react! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
