Everyone can come up with better solutions when they have time to think about it. what would you have done? you just admitted yourself you didn't know that small rodents can't get rabies (wich is not true by the way, just very unlikely). as it unfolded you stand between a unusual behaving animal with a possible dangerous desease and some kids. what do you do? |
I would've tried to catch him and put him in a cage, and then call Animal Control. I certainly wouldn't have hit him with pepper spray.

catch it with your hands? you have nothing to catch it and you have no cage. you walk away to get something a kid gets bitten meanwhile.
he could have kicked or shot it, now that would have been stupid. but with the information i have i don't see him actung stupid. desperately maybe.

Yes, they swallowed it.”

There probably was something in the school (a cage or something similar) where I could put him in. And I could've used some gloves (like the ones gardners use). Or I could've just thrown a bucket over him, and then called Animal Control. I wouldn't have walked away, but I would've tried not to hurt him. There was definately an alternative to the pepper spray, if you actually searched for it, and this wasn't such a desperate situation that required action without thinking (the kids could've just stayed inside teh school 'till the evil deadly baby squirell emergency was dealt with).

as i said, it is always easy to come up with better solutions if you have time to think about it and use words like "probably"
but i can only go by what is see. the kids obviously didn't stay inside the school and the squirrel was actually attacking him, and there was no time to think or go look for a bucket or gloves.
i am not even denying that there were possible other, better solutions, but i can't see him acting stupid in this given situation.

To be fair. Police are supposed to be trained to quick thinking and should be able to come up with some sort of resolution quickly and quicker than most "regular" people.

and he did! with the things he had on him.
actually would you have known how the squirrel reacts to the pepper spray? i would have suspected it runs away the moment it got the slightest whif.
again, he had to assume that the squirrel had rabies. i would not go anywhere near this animal, and i would make sure to keep it away from the children (who are even less controllable then the squirrel).
by the way, what's a "Baby Squirrel" anyway? In my definition a baby is something that can't live without the protection of it's parents. if it runs around freely, it hardly can be defined as a "baby"

Oh come on, it was a baby squirell, not some crazy fat kid with a gun. You could barely see the little guy. It wasn't one of those react or die situations. The guy just did the stupidest thing possible.
