| d21lewis said: Little known fact: Pepper spray was actually created as a humane way to deter animals. Anyway, cops aren't animal control and we have no training at all. I've been called to deal with anything from snakes to aligators to birds inside people's houses to dogs, horses, cows, and frogs. My solution? Mace, mace, and more mace (and a Tazer, too!). Maybe it was a baby squirrel. Maybe it was full grown. It's hard to tell from the video. All I can say is cut the guy some slack. He got called there to do a job that he probably wasn't qualified to do and he did the best he could. Sometimes, when Animal Control is actually called (damn near every single time I called for them, actually), the don't respond. I know that cop didn't want to be in that situation. Did I mention I was once chased by a group of geese? |
i tried! but obviously the term "baby squirrel" triggers something in people.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
