Police officer with dead mountain lion

An unnamed Longview police officer holding up the mountain lion he accidentally struck with his patrol car (Longview Police Department).

A Texas police officer posed for a photo with a mountain lion he accidentally struck with his patrol vehicle, and social media users expressed some mixed feelings about it.

In a photo shared by the Longview Police Department on their Facebook page on Dec. 11, an unnamed police officer can be seen holding up the carcass of a mountain lion alongside the explanation that he “struck a mountain lion with a patrol vehicle.” Because of the injuries suffered by the animal after the impact, she had to be “put down at the scene.” But it was the officer’s choice to pose for a photo with the dead animal that had commenters torn.
