Police is the best example of Maslow's hammer: "it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail."
I find the reverse to also be true.
It is tempting, when an object needs percussive adjustment, to treat every tool as if it were a hammer.
Context?
that fucking cop should go straight to jail, charged with torturing an animal, charged with killing an animal, charged for trespassing, charged for destruction of property, then swiftly convicted and sentenced to a decade or more in prison without parole. and upon release never be allowed to own firearms again, never be allowed to work in law enforcement or private security or private investigation ever again, and be barred from working or living with animals.
and that's my nice, measured, restrained, internet friendly reply.
This is just pure stupid. You go to someone's farm, unannounced, I assume enter their pasture, and then get surprised when one of the animals comes up to you and start making noise? He's lucky he didn't catch a bullet for wandering into someone's property unannounced.
How about this, take his gun away, and I know a field that has a bull in rut that might have the "missing person" he was looking for, he can go right out in the middle and look around all he likes.
Donkeys are such sweeties. I've never met one that hasn't been a happy, friendly little critter.
Mules are the ones you gotta worry about being total dickheads.
When I first heard about HeeHaw, I legit teared up. Bonds with equines is something different than anything else. I've never been closer to any creature, both human and animal, than I have been with my horses. I can't imagine how devastated HeeHaw's family is...
This cop deserves to be stripped of everything at the very least. He should go to prison, but I'd settle for him being fired and being unable to own a gun or be a cop ever again.
fired
*fired at
Justice for Heehaw!
officials have launched an investigation into the shooting and placed the unidentified officer on administrative leave
Funny; that's the same thing that happens when they shoot black people
Unions are very effective at protecting members, 'tis unfortunate that police unions are the last really effective ones.
American police are the biggest pussies on the planet.
I can think of one bigger.
Gross
Fuck the police.
Fuck the police.
Yo, I said fuck 'em!
This isn't like Harambe. The way to make Harambe equivalent would be if Harambe was killed because some cop wandered into his enclosure while looking for a missing person and managed to shoot him before Harambe ripped his arms off for trying to taze him.
Is this about the donkey, or has another beloved pet been killed?
Now I'm sad, rather than confused. Poor, sweet baby...
The social media post from the farm said the officer told HeeHaw's owners that the donkey ran up to them braying, so "they thought they were in danger and shot and killed him after trying to taze him."
They really do find some of the most spineless creatures to become cops.
What a fucking coward. Tased and shot a donkey to death because it came up to say hello?
Just goes to show, you don't have to be a criminal to distrust the police and avoid them.
They fucking tried to taze a donkey.
Yeah I bet he seemed pissed. You tazed him bro.
A baby donkey according to the article.
Police families should be banned from all petting zoos
Police families should be banned from all ~~petting zoos~~ pets.
Police families should be banned ~~from all petting zoos pets~~.
WTF, that sounds like something from a satirical sketch or a story from the onion.
Jesus fucking Christ
Who died this time?
Police shot a pet donkey in the USA, I think. The officer had gone on the pasture without permission, and when the donkey went curiously to check them out, they shot it.
It gets worse
The young donkey was bottle-raised, a domestic pet and part of the petting zoo who "never knew a stranger," the Facebook post said.
This is a donkey who loved people and thought he'd found a new friend.
Motherfuckers were terrified of a literal petting zoo. I had more courage as a toddler.
