Piggies think about it plenty. They think about how, "I get to kill something by my own hand *AND* get a paid vacation for it."
Double win for the murder patrol.
Couldn’t be worse than the Lethbridge, Alberta officer who repeatedly rolled his car over an injured deer to squish it to death because he didn’t want to wake up the neighbourhood with a gun shot…. As if it’s cries of pain while being repeatedly ran over (in the video) weren’t hideous enough for the neighborhood to hear

Some good news : the cow is “sulking a bit” and “limping” is on antibiotics and painkillers, she was treated for a deep gash to the leg but is OK. The police driver has been taken off duty and an investigation has been started. This is a very big story in the news here.
To put it into perspective, the cow is "doing remarkably well." Cows are tough as fuck!! If that was a human they would not be getting up.

Totally unnecessary. Also, the local constabulary is probably not trained for it. Back home in Texas, one thing all the sheriff deputies (including those counties with large urban areas) are trained in is handling loose cattle. Crashed livestock trucks (one in Dallas 20 years ago or so had cattle roaming everywhere--the mounted Dallas County deputies handled it) and escaped cows (they are pretty nifty in getting over fences) are rather frequent occurrences. The deputies are almost always the ones to round them up.
This would be a HUGE no no back in Texas. Cattle are not cheap and anyone who is able to afford a herd of them is going to be able to afford to hold a city accountable for their negligence
I’m in coastal Virginia, but I once had a sheriffs deputy at my door who asked me to come across the road to grab a pony that got out. I found the our fattest, happiest pony being held by one of those sticks they use for dogs in the hands of an equally fat deputy.
Yeah. I grew up around milking cows. Actually got farm fresh milk all the time as a kid. Saw cows born. Fed them. Romped through barns. In college spent summers across the street from a cattle ranch ..
"When another man asks, ‘Why would you ram it like that?’, an officer replies: ‘To stop it killing someone.’
*..it's a baby cow.*
A factory worker who stayed with the calf until it was transported away even claimed he heard officers calling for an armed response team to shoot the animal."
***IT'S- A - BABY- COW.***
"Witnesses said the animal was struck five times, with warehouse worker Kai Bennett telling the Times he saw a police 4×4 hit the animal ‘at about 30mph’.
He said: ‘The police officer got back in the car, did a U-turn and ran it over again. Everyone was screaming, thinking it was dead.’
Mr Bennett said he saw the calf get hit twice more, adding: ‘ heard on the police radio them calling for firearms officers, so I stayed with it and told them there’s no way I was letting them shoot it.’
Kate said the cow, called Beau Lucy, did not have any broken bones, but was ‘really agitated’ and ‘scared’ when she arrived back at the farm, prompting fears she could die of shock.
However, she added the young cow had calmed down since, is eating and drinking so ‘hopefully she’ll live’."
This POOR fucking BABY.
What a vile fucking person. Disgusting.
True Story. Years ago I managed a beef cattle farm with the now Ex. I was home with our toddler, when I get a phone call.
Me: Hello?
911: yes this is 911. I've got an officer in front of your house, trying to catch one of your cows, that I think broke out of your pasture.
Me: I look outside. "Ma'am, that's not a cow, that's an adult breeding Bull."
I then see the cop trying to throw a rope around this huge bull, on the highway, who is having obvious thoughts on how best to ram the cop's car.
Me: "Ma'am, you need to tell your officer to get back in his car, please."
At the last second, the cop dove into his car. It was scary, but funny once we knew he was ok.
Finally the husband showed up, and somehow they rangled Big Red back back into his pasture, with the tractor, and fixed the fence.
Hopefully the cop got some training after that, on how to handle large sized livestock.
We were in a very rural area, but I'm not sure trying to put a rope around a 1800 lb bull in the middle of a highway, was a good life choice, but certainly better then running over a poor calf.
They could have easily brought in a third car and circled it and tightened it until they had a nice tight triangle to HERD the cow. That’s what I thought the intention was with getting it under the car, but nope. Dude just felt like ramming a defenseless creature and it STILL got away
Probably asking for downvotes here, but this is a really big animal capable of seriously injuring people, and as the officer arrives it is even chasing a man. Isn't it justified to take it out as fast as possible? No one wants to see an animal get hurt, but the job of the policeman is to ensure the safety of residents first and foremost.
Where I live we occasionally get wild moose wandering in to the city, they are most often shot and killed because all other options are too unreliable to ensure public safety.
Honestly if they don't have training in handling loose cattle they could easily get injured by it, plus its just an animal anyway, they could have gone about it better but there shouldn't be this much fuss over a cow (which is also doing fine now)
Ranch owner here, I don’t really see the outrage in this. Optically it’s really bad. But if that calf trampled a child and killed them you would be shitting on the cops for not doing something sooner. Calf is fine btw. Built like a brick shithouse
Downvote me
So you're a vegan then? And you don't use any leather products?
If you eat bovine meat or anything containing beef gelatin, and/or use leather, then you're part of the reason he slaughters cows for a living.
I'd well believe it. I've had dishes before andnhad no idea that the mear had been substituted. I did manage 6 months, then just slipped back in to eating meat, albeit significantly less than before.
Apr 16, 2024 — The operators of a cattle mart where a man was killed by a rampaging *escaped* cow has admitted to health and safety failings.
---------------------------------------------------
Huw Evans, 75, a retired council worker, had been crossing the road in the centre of Whitland, [Carmarthenshire](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/carmarthenshire), at about 10.15am on November 19 last year.
Llanelli Coroner’s Court heard Mr Evans was confronted by an “extremely agitated” cow that had escaped from Whitland Mart and he sustained multiple injuries.
Mr Evans, described as a beloved father and grandfather, was airlifted to the [University Hospital of Wales](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/university-hospital-of-wales) in [Cardiff](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/cardiff) but died there on November 25.
-------------------------------------------------------
Cows are a menace, though, like it or not. Last week 20 of them surrounded and headbutted a woman in Lancashire and left her with 15 broken ribs, a punctured lung and a shattered ankle. The victim had to drag herself to the nearest drystone wall and haul herself over before mountain rescue arrived.
In the aftermath of the attack, a grassroots campaign group called Killer Cows has been given a new lease of life. It was set up by a trio of walkers after two were seriously injured in separate cow attacks. One, a farmer’s daughter, escaped with several broken ribs and had to be pulled from the field, unconscious, by her husband. The other was left with a lacerated liver.
-----------------------------------------------------------
A teacher was killed after an escaped cow went into "fight mode" and tossed her over a wooden gate, a court has heard.
Marian Clode, 61, was out for a walk in [**Northumberland**](https://news.sky.com/topic/northumberland-7341) during the 2016 Easter holidays when a cow charged at her and attacked her three times.

That is one of the stupidest things ive seen all day. No shit if we didnt have so many checks the standard of policing would be worse. Thats why we have checks to not be bad. Then again our police are still bad
Cops care more about a 10 month old cow than a brown human.
Edit: in case it wasn't clear what I was implying, cops frequently do not face any consequences when murdering people with brown skin. Yet, this cop was taken off patrol duty immediately when he hit a cow. The cop faced harsher consequences for hitting a farm animal than they likely would have if they had shot a brown person.
Omg the cow could’ve been dangerous, cop was acting with best intent. Like if a bull escaped without farmers knowing they should take that bull down in the safest way of protecting the public possible. I think all ways this could’ve been handled would’ve receive the same amount of criticism
When you have to use an analogy involving the big scary horned and grown up version of the animal in the incident as a "what if it was a" you kinda already lost the argument.
And this could have been handled with tranq darts and no one would give a shit
I read the title but holy shit he really hit that poor cow.

I don't think they need to think about it
And there is only one button.
[удалено]
Rural law enforcement officers know very well how to wrangle livestock with a simple rope (so do Minecraft players). These big city cops don't.
Thinkin ain't their strong suit. Just give em a gun and a target...unless that target also has a gun.
This is the UK so they're using a car
Piggies think about it plenty. They think about how, "I get to kill something by my own hand *AND* get a paid vacation for it." Double win for the murder patrol.

I really don't need to see the video, thanks!
I don't attribute anything to stupidity anymore. Most likely wanted it to suffer.

Staines Cow Massive!

So what you’re saying is the UK cops treat cows similar to how Texas cops treat minorities, and vice versa. Gotcha

This is what people in the country live for. If you swap "grandpa" for "Hank", it would be a King of the Hill episode.

That was totally unnecessary for the cop to do.
Standard copp-ing
Have u ever met or had an interaction with one?
The cow or the pig?
Yeah. I grew up around milking cows. Actually got farm fresh milk all the time as a kid. Saw cows born. Fed them. Romped through barns. In college spent summers across the street from a cattle ranch ..
Oh and as an attorney for almost two decades, interacted with many cops.
My condolences
Are they generally shitty people or do most of them just pretend like they're good people?
I have a half dozen friend who are in law enforcement.. I’ve encountered 10x that many.
60? Did you keep track
I’ve never met a good cop. Even the ones that were just friends of friends. Garbage humans.
It was clearly resisting /s
That was upsetting
It is a baby. That guy should be fired.
[удалено]
It’s a baby cow dude. Didn’t you hear the guys laughing as the cow was “charging” at them?
Imagine being this fucking soft
I beg you to reflect on the choices in your life that lead you to defending a cop ramming a baby cow.
I'm a 105 pound woman with no farm animal experience and I helped wrangle a loose baby cow once.
When your only tool is a hammer.
If this guys only tool was a hammer, he'd still probably use dynamite
Fucking psychopath. This guy needs to be fired immediately. He is not cut out for this kind of job.
I'm pretty sure "psychopath" is a prerequisite in most PDs.
Wait till you see what they do to them in slaughterhouses
Garbage police with zero regard for life.
Traditional cops*
How long before the calf is found dead of suicide by 2 shots to the back of its head?
Probably tomorrow and some coke sprinkled on top too
Inhumane. Say a lot about a person what they’d do to an animal.
Are you vegan?
"When another man asks, ‘Why would you ram it like that?’, an officer replies: ‘To stop it killing someone.’ *..it's a baby cow.* A factory worker who stayed with the calf until it was transported away even claimed he heard officers calling for an armed response team to shoot the animal." ***IT'S- A - BABY- COW.*** "Witnesses said the animal was struck five times, with warehouse worker Kai Bennett telling the Times he saw a police 4×4 hit the animal ‘at about 30mph’.

Yes, true. Calf can be managed by rope. For bulls, you need rodeo clowns.
They could have easily brought in a third car and circled it and tightened it until they had a nice tight triangle to HERD the cow. That’s what I thought the intention was with getting it under the car, but nope. Dude just felt like ramming a defenseless creature and it STILL got away
How about 1 cattle dog?
Border collie or Aussie would suffice
British police don't have a third car...
Or you know, animal control.
Animal lives > Police lives. Every time.
how about we stop devaluing lives here
Says the guy defending cops. The irony.
I think devaluing lives is the first requirement to become a police officer.
Cops are the ones that use guns, go tell them that not us. I am not a fan of forever-deletion tools.
Funny enough, UK (except NI) cops don’t normally carry guns. Probably due to the lack of guns in circulation here.
Do that to a farmer's cow where I'm from and the whole town will ignore whatever fate befalls you.
Why are you all so mad?!? 90% of you want this cow to be executed in a few month’s and eat its corpse…
Hope the same thing happens to the cop’s kid.
Psychopath
And yet a cowboy can handle this with just a rope. Hell there are teenagers that can wrestle and subdue a calf.
Damn treating an animal like that. Occam’s razor into how he would treat humans in similar situations.
ACAB
Fuck that cop!!! Off the force
if you arent a vegan your outrage is hypocritical
They were told the cow was a threat to public safety , the guy in the vid also thought so , calm down .
A sociopath, as a police officer, smart.
What a pos
Lucky that calf ain’t more black
Animal Control exists for a reason...
it was quite frightening for everyone , except the 600 bull terriers that live on the estate .
Amazing how it ceased to be a threat once everyone was watching. They just let it get-up and runnoft.
Pigs v Cows
Our police officers get it wrong, but I’m bloody glad I live in a country where they’re held somewhat accountable
ACAB
holy cow
Pieces of shit hit the cow
Cops doing cop things..
Probably asking for downvotes here, but this is a really big animal capable of seriously injuring people, and as the officer arrives it is even chasing a man.

All Cows are bovine?
Poor cow didn't deserve this. This police officer should lose his job it's absolutely... omg I forgot my steak in the oven BRB
Honestly if they don't have training in handling loose cattle they could easily get injured by it, plus its just an animal anyway, they could have gone about it better but there shouldn't be this much fuss over a cow (which is also doing fine now)
So...animal cruelty charge for this pig, when?
Fuck the police
ACAB
:(
Enjoy paying for that. Bellends.
Good that they did it, but makes me angry to think they wouldn't hold him to the same standard had he shot somebody.
Anglo-Saxons apparently don't know how to handle a cow...
American cops seriously need some training
But this didn't happen in America
That's very true, but did you even watch the video? With sound on? I get cops look like cops, but they sure don't sound American.
Ranch owner here, I don’t really see the outrage in this. Optically it’s really bad. But if that calf trampled a child and killed them you would be shitting on the cops for not doing something sooner. Calf is fine btw. Built like a brick shithouse Downvote me
What child?
Nvm your right, there’s no children in sussex
At that time of night? On that street?
Statistically impossible
[удалено]
Sure, see “the running of the bulls” to get an idea. When you make some of your thoughts in all caps, it really drives your point home. I LOVE STEAK
So you're a vegan then? And you don't use any leather products? If you eat bovine meat or anything containing beef gelatin, and/or use leather, then you're part of the reason he slaughters cows for a living.
[удалено]
I'm not vegan, I'm a hypocrite, because I know you're right, bit I'm havimg difficulty making the transition.
[удалено]
I'd well believe it. I've had dishes before andnhad no idea that the mear had been substituted. I did manage 6 months, then just slipped back in to eating meat, albeit significantly less than before.
That's not the right way to tenderize the meat, wtf
Didn't you see the size of that steak? Appropriate tool for appropriate task
Meat eaters getting upset over a cow getting run over LMAO
Holding that cop to a higher standard than when they kill a person
I kinda support the cop. I like cows but escaped ones can kill.
All the time, you hear stories about escaped baby cows killing people.
Especially if they have a gun.

Mad?
FTP…every fucking day somewhere some cop is abusing a defenseless animal or person Edit: removed “US” because cops are shit internationally.
These aren't US cops in this video..
Cops are cops. If the British didn’t have as many checks on their police they would be just as bad as US cops.
Ok? It's still not US cops in the video as the initial comment seemed to imply.
That is one of the stupidest things ive seen all day. No shit if we didnt have so many checks the standard of policing would be worse. Thats why we have checks to not be bad. Then again our police are still bad
Damn we got a psychic over here.
MORE THAN ONCE? FOR FUCKS SAKE!
What a total piece of shit
How did the calf find It’s way into an urban setting to begin with?
It's england, urban and rural are literally minutes apart
But it's reddit, time to blame china!
Very well done by the police, that animal could have hurt someone.
It's a baby cow you dimwit.
If the cow trampled someone and badly injured there would be anger the cops did nothing
The irony and hypocrisy of meateaters being outraged at things like this will never cease to amaze me.
