Okay. What happens if you drop in the woods? How do you find it? Simple, you pray! :)

A broomhandle and some string would make a good improvised capture noose. Morons.

The article doesn’t say but bird houses are usually up on very high poles, I have one in my back yard. A rat snake or a chicken snake could climb it, but a rattle snake? No.

If a civilian did this, he be charged with negligent homicide; at a minimum. Because he was a cop, he’ll likely just be suspended for a while.

Firing weapons WITHOUT BEING 100% CERTAIN OF THE BACKDROP IS IDIOCY, REGARDLESS OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES OR SETTING.
I picture MY 5 year-old grandchild with the front of her head blown off.
I would personally see to it that the individual who did this incredibly stupid, thoughtless thing WOULD NOT LIVE OUT THE MONTH!
Not a threat: That’s a PROMISE!
To: Joe Brower
For all the good stories, there has to be a clinker.
These coppers were irresponsible

What a sad story.
I guess chopping it in two with a hoe never came to mind. A number of things come to mind on how to deal with such a situation besides shooting the snake with a pistol.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1767926/posts This is an earlier story where we had three US Marshals, without apparant provocation (we have films guys) began shooting up a residential neighborhood in DC just as children were arriving home from school in the afternoon.
You can see one guy unload 3 magazines and load a 4th.
The Marshals Service is supposed to release a report on this eventually. In the meantime the Marshals doing the shooting are still on the job, endangering the public, or maybe they're in the federal witness protection plan.
All three of 'em are just the kind of guys to try shooting a snake out of a tree with a 9mm.
To: SeaHawkFan
Yes,if a civilian did this: The cops would be all over his property and in his house seizing all his guns,the lefty news media would be all over the story telling us how bad guns are,the home owner would be charged with man slaughter.

I’d take a rattlesnake bite any time over a dead kid.

This incident just became THE police academy textbook example of what NOT to do with a firearm.

Extremely poor judgment by the cops. I don’t shoot anything more powerful than an air rifle in my neighborhood.
A .410 shotgun with bird shot is what they needed. Works extremely well at close range and the pellets won’t travel over 70 yards and will barely penetrate skin deep at more than 25 yards.

Most cops are good guys. Some get stupid with power.
We have a shooting range with a 20 ft high berm. Guess what two cops did?
Put soda cans on the top of the berm and shot at them.
They lobbed a few rounds through some poor guys truck.
Stupid is as stupid does

Thats why the 410 is called “the snake charmer”

That cop belongs in prison. If it were you or me that fired that shot, you can pretty darn sure that oyr face would be splattered across the front page and we’d have the book thrown at us.
