Info from Licensor: "I was at Stuart high school when I found an injured kangaroo. I called our local wildlife rescue to deal with it and they called the local police. The police arrived at the school and proceeded to put it down. Before the officer pulled his gun out, I told him to use a rifle, not a sidearm. He responded by telling me to back off, so I went and sat in my work ute and proceeded to record him. He discharged seven rounds in total, one shot missing completely. He then stopped shooting and I assume he ran out of ammo. The kangaroo fell down, got up and fell down again several times before it was removed."
