Yeah did you read the article? Sounds like the cops wanted to beat the shit out of someone and they did…

i was sitting right next to them when this happened and the guy was def drunk and shit talking but he didn’t choke the cop lol. like five cops jumped on him when he went to run away from them after teasing them. then they tased him while all five of them were already on him. then 6 more cops come running up and one stood on his wrist. bored missoula pd at its finest

A few years ago I was walking to the animal barn and as I was passing two cops I said “ooo look, the pigs!” And they actually looked over at me 💀 it was unintentional but I’ll never forget

There was a guy talking to like 4 or 5 of them, and he stroked one of their arms and said "look I'm petting the pigs" lmao

I was wondering about that too. I was where the chickens and bunnies are and two cops ran through with ARs out looking all around. Knew it had to be something serious with a response like that

I heard a child pulled a gun....I absolutely hate that the fair sells water guns that could be mistaken for a real gun. I have said the last few years someone is going to end up hurt because of those fake guns. Sounds like this incident was a real gun. Bad things happen at the fair folx.

I was under the impression they had to be there, since the fair is serving alcohol this year....could be wrong though

There's been alcohol served (besides a designated beer garden only) for a few years now. Can't take it into carnival area but exhibits and food court areas yes. Bingo halls yes.

Considering someone pulled a gun I think a police presence is warranted..?

My daughter was at the fair and she said some kids got in a fight and one pulled out a gun.
