i watched them shoot a bison down on the crow reservation with a 300 magnum.
he was standing there eating and you could see the explosion in his shoulder
when it hit. instead of falling over, the bison reached down for another
bite. they repeated the process and he continued to eat. it took 3 shots
before he fell over and even then he continued to chew for a second before
dying.

I'm not belittling the local PD, but this was one for the books. 5
bison got loose while being unloaded at a local packing plant. They
wandered into someone's yard and the cops were trying to 'contain'
them. According to the police report, one of the bulls looked like he
was charging so they opened up. 180+ rounds later, the 'stampede' was
contained.
I looked at the videos my daughter shot for a local TV station and you
had a bunch of cops milling around with no apparent experience around
livestock trying to figure out what to do. When the bull took a
couple of steps in the direction of the disturbance (the most
lethargic charge you could imagine) they used the only thing they had
available (although their 9mm's, shotguns, even the tasers would
probably have been better). A case of the unprepared meeting the
unexpected - but how many police academies have a lesson on herding
buffalo?
Big furor about all the shooting. I suspect these poor 'buffalo
hunters' will be the butt of much station humor for many years to
come.
