Wait a minute! Maybe I'm missing your point, but police brutality? The chimp was ripping the face off a lady. Shooting the chimp was the only option available. How is this police brutality? Should they have waited for an animal control specialist with a dart gun to show up while the chimp was killing the woman?
I can see animal cruelty, sort of, by having the chimp as a pet in the first place, as the outcome could have been predictable. Wild animals do not make good pets, and things like this are likely to happen.
