Hamilton Township Police Department released dashcam footage on Wednesday, May 9, of one of its officers using a riot guard to shepherd a snapping turtle across a road.The video showed that the turtle lived up to its name and and the shield came in useful. “On occasion, it is necessary for a police officer to utilize a shield while on duty, but we’re not sure a snapping turtle was ever thought to be one of those occasions! Watch as Sgt. Robell safely guides this big fella across the street,” Hamilton Township Police Department said in a Facebook post sharing the video.
