A police officer with a wooden stick/pole confronts the wild boar. Around 2pm, a "wild boar" ran into Zhongji Zhigong Hospital in Taiyuan city of Shanxi province through a sewer drainage pipe, hitting and injuring an elderly person riding a bicycle in the process.

After breaking several wooden poles and still not able to subdue the wild boar, the police took out a handgun and attempted to shoot the wild boar. Due to its completely wild nature, it rampaged throughout the hospital and chased pedestrians. Given the extreme danger to the many hospital patients at the time and through consultation with the forestry department, the public security bureau adopted decisive action and prepared to shoot it dead.

A police officer continues to hit the shot wild boar, several broken sticks lie nearby. After nearly one hour of pursuit, the public security bureau shot it dead after opening fire 13 times. According to preliminary guesses by forestry personnel and police, this wild boar very likely came from Taiyuan city's Xishan area by following the Yumen river into the Zhongji dormitory area.

A crowd and reporters at the scene look on. It is believed that this pig could be a wild boar and domesticated pig hybrid.

The police attempt to tie up the wild boar but the shot wild boar grabs the rope with its teeth. In recent years, improvements in its ecological environment and appropriate protective measures have resulted in more and more wild boars, with the wild boars entering cities and causing trouble becoming a common occurrence.

After decades of being a JC, finally a chance to shoot his gun, wildly fires 13 shots, wahahahaha.
The pig head goes to the bureau chief, the pig legs to the provincial government department, split the rest with everyone else, and auction off the pig tail.

Looking at the third photo, that JC‘s facial expression, so wound up, I wonder what’s going through his mind?

A bunch of mental retards! There are many ways to catch a wild boar like this, and instead they kill it!

Let me explain to you guys:
The wild boar was running wildly, the police officer aimed and shot 12 times without hitting it. Then the wild boar stopped running, walked up to the police officer and pleaded: “Brother, just make it quick, okay? You’re scaring me. Even if I don’t get shot to death, I’ll be scared to death.” [scared by his ineptitude with the gun]
Finally, with the 13th shot, with the wild boar’s request and cooperation, the poor piggy went to heaven…

Humanity is truly great, much stronger than wild boars, able to create guns. The police is even more impressive, able to open fire and kill life! A wild boar stuck in a ditch, and you still need to shoot it? Shooting and killing a wild boar stuck in a concrete ditch, you’re so impressive, so capable, and it was with 13 shots too!

Watch Man vs. Wild (this is the Discovery show, not a movie). In it, Bear [Grylls] uses just a dagger to kill a wild boar. The main thing is that JC these days are useless. They’re okay with beating people and demolishing houses. But useless when it comes to doing proper work.

网易广东省东莞市网友:

The JC department should have a net, right? Why not just use a net to catch it and then let it go? The wild boar is a self-reliant animal, is it necessary to be so definitive? Just one shot is enough, but 13? Looks like that pig wasn’t [immediately] killed but died a slow painful death.

I grew up in Daxing’anling and the large wild boars were hundreds of kilograms and especially savage. In the past, I’ve gone hunting before (before hunting was prohibited), taking 3 months off from work, going to the mountains in winter stay 3 months at a time, and every kind of danger I’ve encountered before. That the police officer was able to stand before the wild boar for the safety of the ordinary common people makes him a true man and I salute him…
