I don't often agree with Chris Packham but police heads must roll and animal cruelty prosecutions follow after a cow was twice deliberately rammed and injured by a police car. Whoever gave the order to run it over and the driver of he police car should be immediately fired and charged with animal cruelty. The wildlife activist and presenter Chris Packham told the BBC that he didn’t know “where to start with this. But it’s surely illegal and must be investigated and prosecuted”. He added: “What sort of monster rams a calf? Twice?”
The Home secretary has asked for a full explanation and if I was him I'd expect it on my desk by lunchtime tomorrow - the abuse is that overt I've linked the article in the Guardian to stop lefties dismissing other press links (it's in all press) and the video of this police abuse for all to see is found therein www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/jun/15/surrey-police-face-criticism-after-using-car-to-ram-escaped-cow |

I watched a clip of this on GB News earlier, honestly that copper, how does someone that thick even get into the police? If he thinks that was appropriate, and he obviously does, he should be sacked. He is an idiot. Is there any wonder people have no confidence in the police these days.

Half a story as usual. The cow had been running amok for several hours prior to that, causing damage various.
I'd imagine that if someone had been injured by it the same people would be complaining that the police should have stopped it sooner.

In another thread I detailed how a cop has been seriously injured by a scrote who only got ten months,in this case the animal is blameless for the simple reason it is acting like an animal but that doesn’t minimise the risk to the cops doing their jobs or public in general.
Many years ago travelling on a busy road an Alsatian ran out in front of me,I didn’t swerve and the dog escaped by a hairsbreadth,my ears didn’t from the force ten earache from my other half.
Had dogs as a kid and all our married life and loved them all but I made a split second decision it was raining hard and I wasn’t going to swerve or brake too hard and possibly endanger ourselves or others,human safety and life comes first and I guess the cops thought the same.

Half a story as usual. The cow had been running amok for several hours prior to that, causing damage various. I'd imagine that if someone had been injured by it the same people would be complaining that the police should have stopped it sooner. Surrey Police said it will refer itself to the police complaints watchdog following an incident in which a cow was deliberately struck twice by a response vehicle. The force said in a statement that after attempts to safely capture the cow “over a period of a number of hours” failed, “the decision was made to stop it using a police car”. Home Secretary James Cleverly said he would be asking for an urgent explanation, describing the actions as "heavy handed". The RSPCA said the police response, which saw the animal hit twice by a marked vehicle in Staines-on-Thames, "appears disproportionate". Footage shared online shows a marked vehicle ramming into the cow, which appears to be stunned and tries to get to its feet, before being hit a second time. In the 26-second video, bystanders can be heard reacting in shock as the cow is struck by the vehicle. An eyewitness told BBC News the incident was "distressing for everyone" who saw it. Adrian Pearson said: "I think it could have been handled better. It's quite extreme the way the police dealt with it. "I think it could have been dealt with a lot more humanely. I think it was quite distressing for everyone." The animal has been seen by a vet and is receiving treatment for a large cut to its leg, Surrey Police said. “This matter has been referred to our professional standards department. "The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has been notified and a voluntary referral will be made in due course,” the force said in a statement. Ch Insp Tatton Sam Adcock added: “The decision to use the police car is one that was only taken after other methods to stop the cow had failed." IMHO I suspect the Officer did not like having to do it, if the Cow had injured anyone , the Police would be blamed for not doing anything |

I'd imagine that if someone had been injured by it the same people would be complaining that the police should have stopped it sooner. It wasn't a fully grown or adult animal, it wasn't much more than a calf, it easilly fit under the front of that idiots patrol car. Driving into it, twice, was a massive overreaction. If someone had stood in front of it and waved their arms the animal would have stopped or gone off in a different direction. On the other hand an injured animal is a different prospect altogether. |

You must have seen a different video to me Normal people (there must be some in the police?) would have herded it into a garden , called a vet or a farmer in those ''several hours'' Abnormal people deliberately run them over |

There were more than enough of them there) |

All joking aside its a job for the rspca a vet or finally someone with a rifle . Its not a job for a squad car . The only thing the police should have been doing is keeping the public away from it .
