I understand that here on the 'fire forum we are supposed to disregard all the witness accounts until the Idaho State Police [who weren't at the scene of the shooting] informs us of who actually saw what they think they saw, but, on the off chance that some witnesses can be believed, THIS seems to be the sequence of the bull's actions:
Bull is hit by a car not far from his owner's home.One hind leg is broken.
Bull hobbles back toward his owner's house and lays down at the roadside.
While the owner, in response to a request from the S.O., is making preparation to dispatch the bull and butcher him, the deputies approach the bull and start shooting him, putting him on the prod, and he goes back toward the car that hit him.
Among the shots fired by the Deputies are some that break the bull's good leg, putting him down in the highway, not far from the car.
IF this account of the bull's actions is factual, the human actor's responses become somewhat predictable.
The bull was un-biased as far as cops are concerned.
