Wish the steer had gotten the cop. I remember the last time I saw Daddy in the fields, a bull was chasing him, but he made it over the top of the fence!:) =========
thanks for posting I just found it insane. and what's with the cop turning the siren on to get the steer to pull over???? like the freakin animal is gonna know what that means???
Exactly the point, when I first saw the video, and thought way back to my youth in the late 50's. Boys will be boys and simple mischief of a couple of friends involved a foot chase by police. When finally the ran out of somewhere to run, they weren't facing cops with weapons drawn , they were facing a seasoned veteran small town cop who knew every kid around. He just said something like" you are just making this worse on yourselves." They walked back to him, got in his car, first they drove to the store where the incident had taken place (turning over a outside fruit and vegetable display) . They apologized, picked up the mess, promised to pay for any damages, the officer drove them each home parents were informed. No guns drawn, no trip to jail, no record, damages paid, boys most likely got their backsides warmed. They grew up to be model citizens.(one became a pastor, the other a judge) I shudder to think what most likely would transpire now. It is another world away from 1959, I thank my lucky stars I was able to grow up in that world and that time. I only wish it were possible today for the benefit of my children and grandchildren.

ReplyDeleteImagine their judgement when it comes to citizens.
