family’s beloved pet donkey was shot and killed by Georgia cops after the tiny ass allegedly confronted them when they ran through his pasture.
Hannah Israel, 30, said officers entered the family’s property in Cedartown — near the Alabama border — without notice at about 12:45 a.m. while chasing a suspect when they came across HeeHaw.
“They claimed he ran up to them braying and they thought they were in danger and shot and killed him after trying to Taze him,” Israel wrote on Facebook
"HeeHaw was raised in the house and did petting zoos he never knew a stranger,” Israel added. “And was shot and killed in his OWN pasture for doing what donkeys do. Alerting to a stranger.”
A haunting photo taken during the aftermath of the shooting showed Israel crying over the dead donkey, whose eyes remained wide open as it laid on the ground.

If these were deputies, as they likely were, they should have known better. Make 'em pay, Hannah.
As I said.

I don’t think malice was involved in this.
Story after story of cops going nuts.
Problem is the widespread use of anabolic steroids by many cops.
I’ve never heard about that. Are there studies showing widespread use of those by police?
Worst part, cops wonder why the public has lost respect for them. Duh!!
Most cops are Fat, Stupid or Lazy. Every so often you run into the young roid-head all decked out in his tactical gear.
The cop deserves the same treatment the donkey got.
The cognitive dissonance on Free Republic is often amusing. Some folks can’t seem to decide between hating police and decrying the defund-the-police movement. Sometimes, they do both at once...
Which Antifa brigade are you in?
No... Cowardice was involved in this...
The overall universal cowardice is getting absolutely sicking. Too many animals and humans are dying just because they are all scared wimpy cowards...
Stupidity and poor judgment are not the same as malice and aggravated cruelty. That is what my post meant.
That cop might soon be a media star on the Youtube channels Civil Rights Lawyer, Lackluster, or Audit the Audit.
You don’t know donkeys do you? We used to pasture a large (16H) quarter horse and a miniature donkey together. One day a couple of stray dogs got into the paddock and chased the horse who tore the place up trying to get away. The donkey ran after the dogs and kicked the snot out of them, killing both of them.
donkeys and llamas. herd protectors. HeeHaw was doiong her job.
You don’t go into a livestock pasture and then shoot said livestock existing in their own pasture. Especially a baby donkey.
If a cop shows up in my horse pasture and shoots my horses because he’s scared...well, I won’t say anything else.
NEW YORK POST
Ass Kills Ass!
The Georgia cops who trespassed onto private property and shot a pet donkey. There was ZERO justification for that. Brainless cops anxious to shoot anything they perceived as a threat.
Had that been my property there’d be a couple of job openings at that police department.
