No kidding, I saw that this morning and all the way to work I was trying to figure out under what circumstances could you possibly justify such behavior. I live in Gatineau .. not sure what the fall out will be but hopefully there will be some serious introspection.

How many "bystanders" we're hit?

Morons.

In all fairness, the cops weren't out beating up hippies...

That is a failure in headline writing.
Dirty Harry was a great movie, I see no failure.


You don't see a problem with asking a cow how HE feels?
Yea, I get it...But I am hardly in the mood.
"Cow" is in general use as a singular for the collective "cattle", despite the objections by those who insist it to be a female-specific term. Although the phrase "that cow is a bull" is absurd from a lexicographic standpoint, the word "cow" is easy to use when a singular is needed and the sex is unknown or irrelevant - when "there is a cow in the road", for example.
For further clarification see 'yo momma'.

Of course. However the sex of the animal is not irrelevant regarding one loose in town. A bull behaves quite different than a cow.

If we can put oil in the engine while we're flying then we have absolutely no problem at all.

Given the number of bulls slaughtered for 'entertainment' in the above manner, I'll cheer for the bull in this case,

I dunno, but if I thought I might be trampled by a 1000 lbs animal and had a firearm on hand I would use it too. If it didn't stop I'd keep trying. Then again, I'm not one of those tree hugging, granola eating, socialist, progressive liberal nut jobs.

A piece of advice if you attempted to do this with anything less than something with the stopping power of say a .30-06 round, and placed your shot exceptionally well, you're very likely to get trampled. You'd be better served using your energy to get out of its way. Of course if you're in the middle of an open field and 1000 lbs of steak wants to have its way with you, your first shot had better count, or you're going to be f*cked.

Holy cow. It wasn't a heard, no one was in danger of being trampled. The danger to the police officers was stray bullets and wiping out on a pie.
