That copper should be in serious trouble. Fucking hell Kurt Zooma was suspended and fined for kicking a cat.

Apparently they did it a few years ago in a similar incident in Berkshire or somewhere. They killed the cow that time, though.Even if protocol has been covered, which remains to be seen, it’s not a good look for the police.
You’d like to assume that ramming an animal is a last resort in preserving human life, which this doesn’t appear to be.

A cow’s momentum is huge and they can be dangerous when they are spooked.Apparently they did it a few years ago in a similar incident in Berkshire or somewhere. They killed the cow that time, though.
We know a dairy farmer. wWhen we stayed with them, we saw them bring the cows in for milking. It’s quite the sight seeing 60 cows running past you at speed.
This cow looks young. I’m surprised they didn’t try a tranquilliser dart, though we don’t have all the details.
If the 999 calls were from hysterical people, that could have changed how they approached it too. No doubt it’ll all come out in the wash.

Yeah, the initial reaction is of shock, but if it had run into some kid there would have been far greater outage for doing nowt to stop it. Do the police carry tranquillizer darts? I can't see it. Maybe they could have called the local cowboy to lasso it.A cow’s momentum is huge and they can be dangerous when they are spooked.

I don't think police routinely carry tranquilisers with them.Could they not have tranquilzed the cow,what a fucking horrible thing never mind once but to hit it twice..
If the cow ran at someone and killed them everyone would be saying how the police should have done something sooner.

They must have a protocol for escaped animals though, which probably includes numbers for emergency vets, who have them.Yeah, the initial reaction is of shock, but if it had run into some kid there would have been far greater outage for doing nowt to stop it.
