I don't expect litigation to save anyone. I see it as a sadly plausible response if the state neglects to remove a bear that has attacked five people. How much more evidence is needed to determine that the bear is, in fact, aggressive? What's the magic number of people to be charged?

I think there is a lot of presumptions being made about the kids in the woods. Or the officers who had to discharge their fire arms in self defense. But the state only seems to take it seriously when their own employees are out at risk.
