We're the Only Ones Slapstick Enough

With officers in pursuit, the raccoon took off through the house, ripping up Venetian blinds, pulling down drapes, knocking over a lamp and toppling a flowerpot. Finally, Officer Daniel Ek tried to let it out the back door when the suspect apparently turned threatening.

"While unlocking the back door, the suspect ran at Officer Ek," the police report says.
"The suspect"? That's "Only Onese" for a raccoon...?

I'm sorry, but this thing reads like a scene from a "Three Stooges" short. I can just hear Curly going "Woob-woob-woob..." and see them all tearing up the place and hitting each other over the head with shovels as the raccoon outsmarts them at every turn...

When engaged in a battle of wits, these guys show up unarmed.

Trouble is, I remember the incident in Oklahoma (I think) where a cop tried to shoot a rat snake in a birdhouse. His bullet killed a five-year-old boy on the other side of the lake. We can go "Woob-woob-woob" all we want, but these guys are dangerous.
