Rampaging baby squirrel pepper sprayed by Texas cop zarzuelazen Send a noteboard - 11/04/2011 06:01:33 AM
"A Texas police officer has enraged hundreds of YouTube viewers after a video of him using pepper spray on a baby squirrel was posted.

In the video, Kimbrough Middle School students can be heard yelling at the officer, pleading with him not to spray the tiny animal after it began chasing students last Wednesday afternoon.

The officer pays no attention to the screams of the students and sprays the animal, which begins thrashing about on the ground.

Mesquite Police Department later defended the officer's actions, saying he was trying to protect the students, Fox News reports."

A Red Neck's opinion. Scott Blademaster - 11/04/2011 11:51:11 PM 663 Views
A lot more paperwork, though. *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 12/04/2011 12:01:33 AM 253 Views
A lot more fun, though. *NM* Scott Blademaster - 12/04/2011 12:43:23 AM 281 Views
I'm pretty sure that it's totally illegal to try to shoot a squirrel on a school campus *NM* LadyLorraine - 12/04/2011 01:44:01 AM 249 Views
I totally missed the rabies thing Lews_TherinThelamon - 12/04/2011 12:01:04 AM 565 Views
Squirrels are pretty fast. Kronin al'Sulc - 12/04/2011 01:40:20 AM 687 Views
yah, the big red flag for me was the ATTRACTION to humans LadyLorraine - 12/04/2011 01:53:27 AM 524 Views
Actually, that is not an uncommon behavior among juvenile squirrels Larry - 12/04/2011 11:18:52 AM 659 Views
Hmm, I was not aware. and I doubt the cop was either LadyLorraine - 12/04/2011 02:05:21 PM 562 Views
Is that so uncommon among those aggressive grey squirrels you've got over there? Legolas - 14/04/2011 09:44:03 PM 583 Views
I checked with my dog aerocontrols - 12/04/2011 02:06:39 AM 518 Views
