The social media post from the farm said the officer told HeeHaw's owners that the donkey ran up to them braying, so "they thought they were in danger and shot and killed him after trying to taze him."

Police is the best example of Maslow's hammer: "it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail."

Is this about the donkey, or has another beloved pet been killed?

Who died this time?

Fuck the police.

American police are the biggest pussies on the planet.

Context?

officials have launched an investigation into the shooting and placed the unidentified officer on administrative leave

Funny; that's the same thing that happens when they shoot black people

It was needed to shunt the universe back to the way it was!

If I think what is happening is happening, it better not be.

Donkeys are such sweeties. I've never met one that hasn't been a happy, friendly little critter.

Mules are the ones you gotta worry about being total dickheads.

When I first heard about HeeHaw, I legit teared up. Bonds with equines is something different than anything else. I've never been closer to any creature, both human and animal, than I have been with my horses. I can't imagine how devastated HeeHaw's family is...

This cop deserves to be stripped of everything at the very least. He should go to prison, but I'd settle for him being fired and being unable to own a gun or be a cop ever again.

Justice for Heehaw!

This isn't like Harambe. The way to make Harambe equivalent would be if Harambe was killed because some cop wandered into his enclosure while looking for a missing person and managed to shoot him before Harambe ripped his arms off for trying to taze him.

Back on the right timeline?! 😄

I feel kinda weird about that particular picture being used as a meme... This was when bush was told about 911.

I don't know... Seems kinda... Insensitive.

Why not become a farmer? You can abuse hundreds of animals every day and eventually kill them.
