Cops in general are afraid of just about everything so I'm not surprised they were so scared thatthey killed the cat out of cowardly fear. As hunters we know that surrounding and baying up the cat would have been enough until a biologist was dispatched to tranquilize the animal.
How dare those Police Officers protect and serve the children in that neighborhood. Hey, I'm all for live and let live and am glad cougars are making a comeback all over the country. I don't fear hunting along side them, and if they make it harder for me to kill deer, so be it, they are after all the better predator. But sometimes it comes down to not taking chances with the lives of the people you've sworn to protect.
