Yea but I bet they dident torture there burger first.That was worse than a bad hunter shot on a deer.Atleast the deer know to run from and not to humans.Poor cow prolly thought it was feeding time when it saw something in the cops hands."They didn't shoot it did they?! Oh no!"
How much you wanna bet the people filming ate a hamburger for dinner? What's the ****ing difference...

What I wanna know is...
Yay or nay-- was that house/car in the background of the cow target?
"That wasn't a real gun, was it?" F-yes, idiot-- and you should have been hitting the dirt instead of filming.

And destroyed the whole cow? LOL
One would hope so. Did they run a toxicology report on the deceased cow (if the Canucks ever actually succeeded in killing it)? It may have been on something.
Yeah, I'm sure a slug, .223, or even the .40 to the head (up close) would have done it. Not sure, but it looked like they were going center of mass. Good thing it wasn't a bull that wanted to go out in style.
When their is a rabid heffer on the loose shoot first then answer questions later.
I think 5 minutes to come up with a decent plan could not of hurt.

Apparently, at that range, the officer in question wasn't good enough to make a clean head shot. Like the Amadou Diallou (sp?) shooting in NYC, I haven't seen enough to know if the shooting was justified, but I can tell that the marksmanship of the officers involved is embarrassing.
Many chiefs/supervisors are too proud to admit that their officers might not be the appropriate people to handle every situation and cops are put in situations that are like sending a carpenter to wire a house or an electrician to frame it.

When we used to butcher our cows, we used a old .22mag single action revolver at about 25' through the skull right between the eyes. Never had a problem. I'm sure that a .40s&w would have done the same. We now drop our cows off at a local HS to have them processed.
It was cow. It going to the slaughter house. It wasn't going on a trip to the Bahamas. I'll eat a cow unless it suffered when they killed it? Unless suffering makes the beef taste bad I don't care.
However, using a handgun round to try and kill such a large animal is a bad idea. Unless you can hit it in the brain. I bet that the 40 S&W HP rounds weren't getting enough penetration to hit the vitals. I agree that a 12 Gauge slug would've been a much better idea at least in terms of being efficient.

Obviously the guy can't hit **** with the pistol when he has a cow as a target. So I don't think he could make a kill shot on a bg robbing a bank when the bg is running and firing back. All im saying is a cows head is huge target and 40cal will bring down a hog with one shot.
