We're the Only Ones All Hat and No Cattle Enough

Runaway steer shot and killed by police after chase in downtown Des Moines [More]
Well, gee, it took me all of five minutes to find these guys two hours away...

My bet is they'd know somebody in the area with a horse, lariat, and trailer.

Whatever the problem is, the answer is 9mm if you're a cop.

Shortly after a bovine had gotten loose on a state highway near my home recently (it didn't go well) I had an opportunity to talk to a couple of CHP officers about possibly teaching them the art of gentle stock handling so as to attempt to make recovering loose livestock go more smoothly. The reaction I got was that they weren't really interested, that with all their 'training' they already knew everything there is to know... about everything.

Abraham Maslow's Law of the Instrument comes to mind:

Cops are going to have a cook out now. "We killed this cow ourselves!"
