Light the tree on fire.
They wont stay up forever
Rabid squirrels, every fire station raises them
I’ll tell you what you don’t do.
Don’t climb up the tree close to him and tase him.
Don’t assist your k-9 partner into the tree in an attempt to bite him.
I wasn’t there thankfully. Both of those at my station.
Me. I’d pop pepper balls around him, let the powder float down on him. He’ll climb down.
Had it happen. Crazy guy punched one of our civil cops then fled up a tree.
He was being served a restraining order his mom petitioned against him. So we left and eventually, several hours later, he climbed down and went back inside the house. Mom called us back out discreetly as soon as he did. Came back and arrested him.
Cut the tree down and arrest it for aiding and abetting.
Call the fire department. Tell them there’s a pussy stuck in a tree.
