A police officer (Trenton Garner) in (Cedartown) Georgia shot and killed HeeHaw, the one-year-old mini donkey, who lived at a children's petting zoo in Cedartown, Georgia. A federal civil rights lawsuit has already been filed. I already interviewed HeeHaw's lawyers, Solomon Radner and Chris McCormick a few weeks ago. Now, the bodycam has finally been released, and it's bad...

This is an absolute travesty.
Miniature donkeys are very sweet, affectionate and crave human attention.
This little guy was not a threat to the police officer
Thanks for posting this. More people need to see it.
I continue to believe that most cops are good people. But some are garbage. This cop is one of them. A little donkey ran up to him. Perhaps the little donkey wanted a treat. Or perhaps a pat on the head.
The cop shot the little donkey. This cop is garbage, complete trash. Either he is a coward or he just likes to shoot living things.
He should resign, or be fired.
He needs to be under the jail.
This officer has absolutely no judgment and no business carrying a gun. We are lucky that this guy got exposed before he shot an innocent person
Take his gun and his badge. He can work security at a data center where burrow encounters are rare.
He does not have the temperament or judgment to be an officer. Sorry not everyone is suitable for law enforcement this guy is a prime example.
I’m a huge supporter of police but there are some real pieces of garbage with a badge out there.
yes but is this police officer a threat to his community?
What the heck are these officers thinking when they shoot pets who are harmless?
Trenton Garner and his dad are inbred cucks.
Sure looks like it.
They lived their lives with the philosophy of protect and serve
They were also hardcore bad asses.
Most had served in heavy combat in WWII, Korea and Vietnam before becoming police officers. These were very self confident men who knew how to handles themselves and they were reluctant to draw their duty weapon in most circumstances because they felt it was an admission that they could not deal with a situation without a weapon.
They would be appalled at seeing this shooting.
This guy needs to find a new career and the other officer who was trying to cover for him is just as bad of a POS.
These guys give all police officers a black eye.
Worst of all, they were trespassing on the property where the mini donkey lived.
Tend to agree
Trenton Garner and the Holy Grail.
Did he forget to bring the Holy Hand Grenade?
I wonder he pulled a “Joanna Wietrzyk” and crapped his panties when the killer donkey showed up...
Mini Donkeys are very affectionate and they crave physical contact with humans - especially the ones like Hee Haw who do not have a second mini donkey to play with and keep them company.
This is really bad - especially the second cop fabricating a story trying to cover for what was obviously a bad shooting
If they do that for a donkey, imagine what they would do with a bad shooting of a person
It's a bad look that confirms the worst stereotypes pf bad cops.
Steer clear of Cedartown and Polk County. The stench from the soiled cop panties is overwhelming.
I didn’t know that animals had lawyers and civil rights.
Possible ‘roid rage which caused him to view the donkey as a threat.
At the minimum this was "unlawful taking".
In practicality, like with most things, the action is not as much the problem as what came afterwards.
Officer is a bit off. Kills pet after breaking into the enclosure where pet was. Officer has been fired and owners compensated.
End of story.
Or you do what this department did and you end up looking like fools to the general public.
All of the damage here is self inflicted.
I can’t watch it. I hope that cop gets put through endless misery.
The donkey had an owner and was on his owner's private property. You can buy a medical insurance policy for your dog. And you can be fined and jailed for animal abuse in most states. Welcome to the 21st Century.
