The thing is, that in the past 5 years two men have been killed over wayward bulls within 20 miles of here. One was trying to help a neighbor get his bull back into his pasture, the bull turned and gored him to death in front of his wife and the bull's owner.
Before that, a bull was hit on the highway, the couple in the car were badly injured, the bull was too. The bull was making the accident scene unsafe, so the owner was called to put the bull down. In what can best be described as a clusterfuck of arrogance, incompetence and fucktardary, the deputies gunned down the rancher in front of his wife and nephew. Of course it was all justified, the cops investigated themselves and decided they did everything right. Please get a copy of "Milepost 142" if you are interested in an actual investigation into all the things they did that were very "not right."
No one around here seems to remember that. Or perhaps they have become like the Romans and are looking forward to the next gory death by bull in the neighborhood. I am talking about a population of less than 1200 people combined, in the two "big towns" around here. It seems like they would find it reasonable to ask a man to control his bulls. Nope. I am the bitch. Fine. I am NOT going to be the bitch who watches her husband get gored to death.

I've heard of cases like this, and we had one near here that didn't involve a rampaging bull, but did involve a sheriff's deputy shooting and killing an unarmed man, with known mental problems, whose only crime was failing to pull over during a slow speed chase.
According to numerous witnesses, they never went over 30 mph, but evidently it was still worth killing the man, who wasn't even suspected of having committed any other crimes.
I believe (though I'm far from certain) that the man was black. Naturally, the deputy who shot him suffered zero consequences.
And I found out years after it happened, despite living here at the time, because there appears to have been precisely zero public outcry.
Which is why I suspect that the man was not white.

It is far too common. Heard of the Matthew Graves case? He was white and mentally disabled, and he jaywalked. The cops killed him.
This kind of thing happens way too often.
