    No dogs around, so these intrepid cops adapted to the situation and got the job done using what was available

      The bear was killed Thursday afternoon in the northwest of Iceland after police consulted the Environment Agency, which declined to have the animal relocated, Westfjords Police Chief Helgi Jensson told The Associated Press.

      Environment Agency is to blame here, not the cops.

        Environment agency is just another type of cop. Not that policing environmental regulations is necessarily bad but they are still literally cops dude.

          If they were park rangers, sure, but a random career government bureaucrat has no enforcement authority here.
