Wildest Police Chase Videos (one of our favorite shows)

Out There section of FoxNews
Mooove Over, Officer — This Runaway Pot Roast Can't Be Stopped
WALTERBORO, S.C. (AP) — A Taser may work on a billy goat gruff, but it doesn't seem to be very effective on runaway pot roast.
Incident reports show a Colleton County sheriff's deputy used a Taser twice Monday on a cow wandering along a road.
Two zaps later, the cow's owner still couldn't corral the animal, and it ran off. Deputies spent several hours chasing the cow in and out of traffic before suspending the pursuit.
Last January, Scott also used a Taser to rescue a Cottageville woman from an aggressive billy goat named Dodge, who was later adopted.


My suggestion: they should have used the standard police PIT maneuver (Precision Immobilization Technique) The sheriff should have ridden up to the back side of this run-amok cow and taken her down from the rear with this proven police technique. Failing in that, they should have thrown out spike-strips and blown out her front or back hoofs. These police are as bad as some of the examples we see on Wildest Police Videos, where they let these chases go on for hours. Just get tough and take these hooligans out now. If they make a decision to run for it, they've forfeited their right to have it end peaceably. This cow should be on someone's dinner table right now.
