Oh deer
Deer are basically really big rats that happen to taste good. Unless you’re hunting, you don’t really want them on your property. They’re destructive and not good for your plants. But when the cops kill one in Cali, the hippies start complaining.

At this point, Bambi has become a plague of Biblical proportions.

All those cops didn’t have a scatter-gun between them?
One day while I was mowing my folk’s lawn a South Portland police car pulled up, fished out a shotgun and popped a small raccoon that was wandering in the bushes in broad daylight. Put on gloves and bagged the body. Urban area, in a school zone, and nobody complained, including me. I know people who have had to put pets down because of encounters with rabid raccoons.
Lesson: if you can’t shoot for shit, bring a shotgun and keep the neighborhood clean of dangerous critters.

Damn, that was a botched job. Even with 9mm or 40cal guns they should have been able to take the deer down a lot cleaner than that. I guess they’re not used to shooting anything bigger than a dog.

Remember, we’re talking about the same state where when the government had to kill a cougar that had killed a woman, more money was donated for the cougar’s orphaned cubs than for the woman’s orphaned children.

Nice shooting, professionals!

Only 5 shots? Hell, I’m surprised that the cop with the cap on backwards didnt empty his gun as fast as he could pull the trigger, which seems to be SoP anymore.

Hippies!! You want to complain? No venison for you! (Probably eat tofu anyway).

It’s Oakland where gangsta and drive-by shootings occur all the time. It might have been more confidence-inspiring if the cop hadn’t required so many shots to take down an 80-lb baby doe. They claimed the baby animal was a menace and couldn’t wait for Fish & Game with their nets…
This is the City Jerry Brown left as Mayor after being unable to do anything useful but while gaining a lot of Cop-Union votes for police overstaffing (running up the retirement bucks with overrtime) and still not doing much useful. Now he’s running for Governor again – and he’s still a better choice than RINO anti-gun Meg Whitman. We’re so hosed.

“… the hippies start complaining.”
Do the hippies ever *stop* complaining?

If I were to ever have to run from a cop that was shooting at me, I hope it’s they one pulling the trigger in that video.
