I heard about this on the radio yesterday and was just dumb founded that they would do such a thing. My gosh. Not like it was a crazy cow or anything, looks like not in a major populated area either. Phone a cowboy and they could have dealt with it. And I heard they put like 20 shots in to the poor thing too.
It is stuff like this that really makes me upset...

Oh, that is horrible. Just makes me sick to my stomach looking at that. Not that I'm against shooting an animal when necessary and when done humanely but .......

That is so sick they should be charged, and kicked off the force, very cruel people.

OMG!!

Stop the world, I want off this ride.
This is freaking INSANE!!! What MORONS! You cant stop a 1000 lb cow by shooting it in the ass repeatedly with a small calibur hand gun!
And then shooting it in the elgs!!!!??? They could not hit the borad side of a freaking COW?!?!? Their aim is so bad that they shoot the damn legs? OMG!
One cowboy, one dog. NO guns needed!!!!!

This is a seriously screwed up world.
There is no hope
I have had it with the whole damn thing.

And these are people that are supposed to protect us?
Who will protect us from their stupidity and lack of common sense?

I don't often say this but I hope the SPCA is preparing a case right now.

I didn't watch. Can't watch. Won't watch. No looking. Eyes covered. Don't want to know. Go away. Who made that post a while back about National Kick A Stupid Person Day? Even though I did not watch this video, judging by the other responses, I think we have a candidate for a kicking. Or at least a serious pistol whipping.

How can people be so STUPID!! Like they expect it's going to stop and lay down because they put on the sirens and lights?!? And not even know where to shoot it so it will actually stop. AAHRGH!!

I watched it on TV the other night made me very sad, it couldhave been saved , no one was in danger. I can not express enough how cruel and mean it was. Maybe some one should beat them all to an inch of life.

Yup, that is pretty bad. Pretty embarassing actually. Thats what happens when a bunch of city slickers who have always loved the idea of shooting guns and driving a cruiser sign up for police duty and haven't actually shot at anything but paper targets yet. City Slicker Stupidity, right there.
This is what the first police shooter told the Sargeant when he got back to the office:
"It was a crazy wild Bull, the biggest one I've ever seen, and he was charging straight at my car and every other car and all the officers and the camera man, so from the safety of my cruiser, I slowly drove behind him and shot all four legs and every usable quarter he had..."

Didn't surprise me as it was the Gatineau police force.
I am glad that someone had the sense to tape it and put it out there as evidence to how incompident the police handled this situation. Otherwise it would have been the police's word against those who saw.

The Gatineau police have stated they had no choice to do what they did because it was an issue of public safety. As one resident who lived across the road where this happened said, at no time were they told to go back into their homes or even that the police intended to open fire. Who's safety were they concerned for?
