I totally understand this police officer. He was totally threatened with the wee squirrel who may jump up his pant leg and nosh on some hairy nutz. Hey, thats what I wish the squirrel did. It may of been hungry.
What is the big burly popo gonna do when you are faced with a skeary haired rat with a tail? Pepper the rodent. Thats what you do, even thou you have screaming middle schoolers behind you begging for mercy for the wee animal.
The best part is.. the department of popo on animals nono had this to say..
Mesquite Police Department has defended the officer's actions.
Sgt. Wes Talley said the officer stood between a group of students and the animal because he thought it may have been rabid.
Talley said after several unsuccessful attempts to scare the squirrel away, the officer used his pepper spray on it to protect the welfare of the students.
Well we can all go to sleep now knowing that the occifers of our country can defend us against the likes of a 3 inch long baby squirrel..
Hey!! I'm Just saying!!
