Thats what he's paid for. Tis said ACAB, but credit where it's due. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 23,146 Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 Evidently it was heading for a busy dual carriageway so the police had to make a quick decision. Right or wrong decision ? Who knows, but I’d say better a dead or injured cow than a pile up of cars with possible injuries and fatalities. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a cow not a tiger About 4000 attacks by cows a year in the UK ... How many tiger attacks are there in the UK .. It's easy saying should of done this or that afterwards.. but how many them coppers been around cattle to know how to control them ect cows will jump gates and clamber over stuff to try get away, there not something you'd want to get close to if you don't know anything about them . 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No your right.Ramming a non aggressive but confused cow with a vehicle would be the 1st thing I'd think of in a non life threatening situation. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLATTOP 4,364 Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 To be fair we get cows mainly calf’s encroaching on the railway a lot, Bovine Incursions the posh description but we don’t run our trains over them, we coax them off from the rear to a place of safety to reunite with their mothers, amateurs the way they handled that just my opinion of course. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In all honesty mate I wouldn’t really call them attacks it’s generally idiot people that get spooked by the cows start running trip over and get trampled, I have been in those situations countless times but stood my ground maybe whacked them on the nose with me stick or shot em up the arse with a catty the results the same I’ve not been attacked nearest thing is mothers with little calf’s they may take two walks lol 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
