Laws aside, I don't think I'd be wanting to get into a gunfight with two
cops.
Quite true, With few exceptions most cops are lousy shots. UD
When I lived up north I hit a deer with my car - a rather common
occurrence in that area. I called the cops for a police report and when
he arrived the deer was laying by the tree line at the side of the road
- alive but in very bad shape. The cop pulled his 9MM (maybe a 10MM
back then) took aim and pulled the trigger. The deer flinched and
cowered. It was a 10 yard shot at best. I offered to help but the cop
declined - and was embarrassed/****ed at the missed shot. The 2nd shot
put the deer out of his misery.
After the paperwork was done, he asked me if I was taking the deer.
While I was telling him "no" a pickup rolled up and a guy asked me if he
could have it. The cop said "it's your deer". I told him to take it
and politely declined his request to load the bloody animal into his truck.
