Foot Pursuit... after a bear

Today we had an illegal camp raided by a bear. I was willing to let the bear stay and tell the illegal camper he's out of luck: Welcome to Alaska. Instead the Sergeant had us chase the bear away. It became a foot pursuit to keep the bear away from the legal campground and move him towards the mountains. I was lethal cover with another Officer while a third fired a couple of non-lethal rounds at the bear. I'm sure it'll be back tomorrow.

A little while later I was speaking to some parents about controlling their kids who are being bullies. I heard something on the radio about "... she's not breathing...". Somehow I knew it was my area so I got to my car, looked it up and headed over there fast and was the first one there. CPR didn't work this time. On arrival I knew my efforts would be in vain, but should any of the gawkers be family they might appreciate the effort. Oh well; as I was getting off of shift it sounded like Officers located the suspect vehicle and were working on getting the driver.

So domestic squabbles to bear pursuit to domestic squabbles to a fatal hit and run... interesting day.
