COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Police Monday shot and killed five buffaloes that escaped from a meatpacking plant.
Instead of fleeing, the buffalo began grazing in a yard and police fired at the buffalo with semiautomatic rifles as each charged officers one-by-one.
[...]
By the time all five animals were shot, at least 120 rounds had been fired, a few that hit empty houses and a nearby car, Laxson said. The first buffalo took several shots in the head and "didn't even flinch."

It would appear that 1) none of the police officers involved is a hunter, because 2) an AR-15 firing stock .223 ammo will merely annoy large game, and 3) hunting big game with small bore ammo is illegal in most states, as a consequence.
But remember what The Brady Campaign says, the police will protect you...

If you stab someone with needles over and over again, it might prove fatal, but it's really going to be annoying first.

Not to mention that apparently some of them couldn't hit something smaller than a house with a rifle. That's pretty scary

"....police fired at the buffalo with semiautomatic rifles...How come theirs are called semiautomatic rifles and ours are called assault weapons?

Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam...
150 shots?!... someone not hitting their target?
To: HolgerDansk
You got that right.
Preferred weapon here would be .308, 303 British or my favorite 30.06
Back in the old days they didnt call em "Buffalo Guns" for nothing.

There ought to be a rule that any animal that escapes from a slaughterhouse gets a lifetime reprieve. Free the Buffalo 5!

Whoops... I guess that's 120. That makes a big difference.

I watched a city cop kill a deer that got hit by a car one morning. After watching him shoot the poor thing 4 times I decided I didn't want to be anywhere near a shootout that cop was involved in.
