1. That is desparately sad.

2. As you say ...

Fuck.

Two polar bears land on Iceland in two weeks.

Police dicks shoot both.

4. At least this bunch had a reason for doing so. It doesn't sound like the first shooters did.

"Then the bear started running, so the police were frightened they would lose control. The bear could run very close to the populated area, so they decided to shoot it," he added.

Now, this could be as much of a lie as those Amerikan Police tell when they murder a Black person by filling them full of 40 or 50 bullets, but somehow I have more respect for the integrity of Icelandic Police than I do for our Amerikan version, especially these last eight years of "trickle-down" criminality by those in authority.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I have no firm, researched basis for this feeling, but that Iceland is a member of the Free World and Amerika is not. Statistically, this means Icelands's police forces are less corruptible and have more belief in the law, IMHO. I will understand if people do not agree with this assumption.
