Police officer who ran over deer repeatedly will not be charged

Quote:What's so difficult? There are always out-of-hours vets on call. He didn't even try.

This happened in southern Alberta. There are farm vets all around who would be prepared to euthanize an injured farm animal on an emergency basis. Taking care of a deer wouldn't have been difficult for them. The officer also had a gun. It could have been used. The officer did not seem to know what to do.  I really think he showed poor judgement. Even if he wasn't charged, I question his fitness to be a police officer and carry a gun. 


I don't know if the deer was fatally injured in the first place. He should have made some phone calls and got appropriate help to deal with the deer.
