But after a few weeks the cutouts vanished. <BR/>But the full story has only now emerged. A jogger out for a run came across the cutouts and was so startled she ran to a construction site. There she told a worker a coyote had "barked" at her and was afraid it would give chase, McCallum said. <BR/>The worker called 911 and police were dispatched. They arrived on the scene and quickly surrounded the coyote, only then discovering it was made of cardboard. <BR/>"They do look pretty real," said Terry McCallum, Sarnia's director of community services. "It's an easy mistake to make. Maybe they look too real."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12540914.post-25397573989070530922009-03-29T17:23:00.000-04:002009-03-29T17:23:00.000-04:00Yellow is such a happy colour.

Everyone in uniform was so happy about this, (because shooting people always resulted in so much paperwork), that they forgot to actually train anyone in the safe use of tasers. So, while it would be really nice, if for once they just came out and said, "Sorry, we fucked up," they can't lay it all on the officers in question without blaming a whole bunch of others, too. And then we'd lost respect for the Mounties and the entire judicial system would descend into chaosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
