Police Criticized for Protecting Town from Wild Bear
After saving a crowd of gawking idiots from a bear that was running wild in Claysburg, Pennsylvania and seemed immune to tranquilizer darts, police received the thanks they have come to expect:
One witness videotaped the encounter and distributed the footage to local television stations. It shows the bear running away as police open fire and people in the crowd scream; several people then try to confront the officers.
No doubt the put-upon bear will be remembered as the ursine Rodney King.

Blair County is far from being a moonbat haven, so I can't imagine how people would have reacted elsewhere.

I watched a couple of the videos. It looks like the police didn't do much in the way of crowd control. Too many kids and others crowding the scene.

If the bear had mauled someone, the cops would REALLY be in deep liberal.

Maybe they should have tranquilized the crowd instead. They were the reason the frightened bear was in a tree.
That's my neck of the woods. I have bear in my yard nearly every day. Don't bother them, they don't usually bother you. But black bear are aggressive, incredibly fast and unpredictable. I've had to buckshot their asses many times to get them off my porch. I hunt but I don't kill what I don't eat. Shame the pickup driver and the gawkers didn't just ignore the beast. It would probably have left on it's own.
The noisy mob did as much to destroy that bear as the bullet did. I'd have stayed up a tree too. They should have all been forced to go home.

Charge him on one count of being a bear... and him on being an accessory to being a bear
