SOooooo... let me get this strait, the fair rent a cops fired seven times at a petting zoo bull, and only hit him three times. Hrm, lets frame that again, they fired SEVEN TIMES at a fair full of children and old people, at a bull that could be stopped and led by a rope that he was trailing from his head????!!!!

Sometimes I do have to wonder if living in Georgia is really the best choice.

Yes, I believe your count is correct. However, the "fair rent a cops" were on-duty professional Perry police officers.

Also: Why does the number of shots fired sound so much like an estimate?

"We... may have emptied a few clips, actually. It was very dangerous; we can't be sure. Wait, I don't get a prize for hitting all the milk bottles with my bullet spray?"

"We must have hit him, or someone in the crowd behind him would've been killed."

Well, that sounds like a very responsible time to be discharging a firearm. You know, when you will either hit the bull OR THE CROWD BEHIND IT. Heaven forbid the bullet should continue on its merry way.

Chief Potter saw a problem, and he made a command decision. We can all feel safer on his watch.

I love that their gauge of accuracy is the number of extraneous casualties.

You forgot the part about him being "Insane to begin with and nicknamed Satan".

And then there is that part about him retiring for breeding AND used in a petting zoo.

But who's counting?

Well, his handler did say that his words were taken out of context, perhaps his nickname is Satin, not Satan?

And the whole for breeding and petting zoo combo, well of course. How the heck do ya'll teach your inbred children about nature and reproduction up where you live?
