Police Set Up A Camera In Kansas To Find A Mountain Lion And WTF Is Happening
BuzzFeed News Reporter ^ | 11/29/16 | Jason Wells

Hello. This is a photo of a skunk in Gardner, Kansas, captured on a remote camera set up to investigate reports of a mountain lion in the area.

But after deploying two trail cameras, Gardner police said they found no mountain lion, just the typical forest dwellers.

Like this coyote.

And this person using a walker while carrying some sort of sharp object.

And this guy in a gas mask holding a plastic bag.

Wait. No.

NO.

WTF.

For their part, Gardner police said in a Facebook post that they thought it was pretty damn funny.

We would like to sincerely thank the persons responsible as it made our day when we pulled up what we expected to be hundreds of pictures of coyotes, foxes and raccoons. Thank you to the citizens who noticed the cameras. Your effort and sense of humor are greatly appreciated.

Did they announce the cameras were there. Must be people showing off. If not...truly bizzare

Seems like a couple of cops need to pay more attention to their ‘concealment’ efforts...

Who doesn’t go out and roam the countryside in their guile suit from time to time?

Shoot I had to drive out there for a gig once (consulting job).

Wasn’t a lot of money but we had just gotten Obama. Hooray. Yeah, it was off to a great start. Now I look back and those were the good old days. When I could make money like 1985 (yeah a joke but still....).

Yes, these people ARE funny - but when the night-cam footage of a mountain lion mauling a person or a local pet shows up, all bets are off! :)

A very pretty area in KS. Close to KC but not so close.

The third photo’s “some sort of sharp object” is a recurve bow with a nocked arrow - and the bowstring improperly strung.

I suspect that police recognized it and are just playing dumb with the caption so whomever was in the photo can’t get in trouble for having a weapon in the area.

Saw that first photo, and it looked like a guy on top with his face down and hair to the right.

Going back, it’s obviously a skunk.

“Middle America is still our history.”

If the left had it their way, Middle America would be history.
