They should be sacked

 

[Purli R]

If they did that to a few criminals it would be a good help. Poor bloody cow thou.

 

[Wesley]

Same should be done to them if they were ever in the wrong place. Never mind, some big investigation into it costing a fortune & lessons will be learned

 

[Ramrod]

Sickening, whole country is f@cked

 

[David.]

Looks fairly unnecessary.

 

[Hilly]

Cruel barstewards. .

I bet they weren’t expecting someone to be recording the event.
Respect the police, yer right.

 

[David.]

If there was a likelihood that a rampaging animal was going to cause a real threat to human life or limb, maybe. This looked like an unnecessary overreaction.

I understand that Met police won't have had many dealings with livestock, and I'm wondering why it came to be in West London late at night, but it really does seem needless.....it's a bit of a stirk, trotting down the road
The speed they hit it with you can see they've knackered it's back as it tries to get up

That looked absolutely terrible. Emotions aside, what should have been the course of action? Over to our experts.

 

[Dave6170]

What were they going to do next? Handcuff it?!

Plenty of instances where the police have unnecessarily shot an escaped cow, sadly they seem to see such events as an excuse to 'keep their eye in'. I try very hard to maintain respect for anyone in a uniform, but having had the lady killed by a policeman dumped in woods down the road from us it is at times quite difficult to do so.

Presumably, trading stds./ahpa will track the owner of the stirk.
If it was mine, and with that evidence now on camera I'd be making a massive claim against the officer responsible.

 

[onesiedale]

That officer was clearly breaking the law on so many fronts. Both animal welfare and road traffic laws
If he doesn't face disciplinary action and isn't prosecuted then there is something definitely wrong with the police force

'Farmer rams cow to prevent it escaping into village'
That would go down well.

 

[milkloss]

What a c4nt of a copper that is.

 

[farmboy]

Completely unnecessary, not sure it’s acceptable to run over animals for being on the wrong place. Remember this next time some walkers dog is running round our field off the footpath…
