Actually i believe you can find the blunt conclusion in the report if you bothered to read it.
Quote:
The officer carefully considered all his options. The evidence would suggest that
at all times he was acting in good faith trying to make the best decision for the situation, which
included a desire to dispatch the deer and end its suffering, not extend it.
Unexpected or unintended consequences do not necessarily make the original decision
unreasonable. Of the identified remaining options available to the officer to use to euthanize the
deer, without the benefit of hindsight, the police vehicle may have been the best in a pool of bad
choices. Even with the benefit of hindsight, as difficult as it was to watch, it is hard to believe that
the use of the police vehicle was worse than having to watch the officer attempt to beat the deer to
death with a baton or tire iron, or cut the throat or stab to death the deer.
