I don't even know what to say

Post by baffled »

Officer Friendly caps a squirrel in a Dollar Store:
On Friday, September 27 a call was made from the Dollar General Store on South Shady Street in Mountain City. The call, made by an undisclosed Dollar General employee, was in reference to a squirrel that had made its way into the store and was causing quite a ruckus. Reportedly, after several attempts to apprehend the squirrely intruder, employees allegedly decided to seek the help of local animal control. When the call was received, Animal Control Officer Gary Phillips was unavailable so Town of Mountain City Police Officer Jody Putnam was dispatched.

According to an eyewitness at the scene of the incident, when Officer Putnam arrived, the squirrel was still inside the store and becoming increasingly hostile, presumably due to the stress of the incident. In order to apprehend the perpetrator, Officer Putnam made the decision to mace the squirrel. At the time Officer Putnam deployed the mace, Dollar General customers were allegedly still in the store but the smell and subsequent burn caused a mass evacuation. Unfortunately for Officer Putnam and the squirrel, the mace was not enough to apprehend the squirrel so Putnam reached for his next line of defense –his service weapon.

At this time, it is unknown how many shots Officer Putnam fired at the squirrel. One eyewitness said they didn’t hear a gunshot at all but rather heard the sudden “scream of the squirrel.” When the bystander reentered The Dollar Store, Officer Putnam had the squirrel pinned beneath his shoe and the animal was obviously dead. Another bystander said that Officer Putnam fired three shots.

I've heard a squirrel scream. It's unpleasant.

This story is better - says that he fired the shots but didn't hit the squirrel so decided to mace as a backup plan.

In fairness to the officer, he has no experience shooting anything smaller than a dog.

Back when I was a cop I had this cool ass shit for situations like this. It was called common fucking sense. But oh well, I also forgot my common sense one night off duty and now I'm not a cop so I can't say much. Worst and best night of my life all at the same time.

Did it involve a hooker who desperately wanted to avoid jail time?
