Just hold on to hope, one day you will get to see a Llama being dropped, one day.

correct me if I'm wrong (which I'm shore some one will) but most police I car's carry a Bushmaster in the boot and a Glock inside the vehicle. I spend quite considerable time every year removing stock off a public open road for public safety, luckily for them and the cockie's I have 2 dogs.

I could use my dog .... but its an ex race greyhound , and would either maul the sheep to death , or just piss off in to the distance at a high rate on knots

I think they probably did the right thing but, I would of liked to see him try to get it in first.
When they first found the sheep it was standing in the gate, the camera man could of opened gate and stood back while cop backed down road, sheep would of gone down towards car as camera man opened gate and hero cop could of chased sheep back up and in gate.....

I get what your saying, but sheep don't work the way you want them ever !!!! Unless they are penned and or in a race and have NO choice but to go the way you want, they are f*ckn impossible animals to control.

It was rather obvious imo that the sheep wanted to go through said gate.
Sheep are easy as to control you just have to think ahead of them.
Still who cares sheep is dead end of story.
