A Baltimore police officer is facing felony animal cruelty charges after he allegedly slit the throat of a 7 year-old dog that had already been placed under control.
The incident happened Saturday, and Baltimore police officials announced charges against the unnamed officer on Wednesday.
Sarah Gossard’s Shar Pei, Nala, was loose over the weekend when police were called to catch her.
But after using a dog pole to round up Nala, one officer made a shocking move.
“Unfortunately, at some point after the dog was contained, one of our officers used a knife and cut the dog’s throat,” said Baltimore police deputy commissioner Dean Palmere, according to WBAL.
“This is outrageous and unacceptable breach of our protocol,” he said.
Nala’s owner, Sarah Gossard, said that she believes that Nala bit someone but that the officer’s actions were out of line.
“She was just the sweetest dog and would never hurt anyone. She was just scared that day and through all of those events – scared and lost, thirsty, hungry,” Gossard told WBAL.

I disagree with your statement. It is quite factual!!!
Nothing racist about a statement that is factual.
Like muslims, they hate dogs. It's a disease of the soul.
You do realize there are some liberals from demoRAT underground who post here for the sole purpose of making us look bad?
That dog is not dead. He is squirming and crying in agony. His blood is smeared everywhere. That cop is a dirty coward.
My mother (RIP) taught me to respect, obey, and trust the police from the time I was a little kid.
So much for that.
Just practicing for what they would really like to do to the rest of us.
'"I'm going to (expletive) gut this thing," he said before killing the pup, according to charging documents.'
Cops and clowns - scare me.
Nala
A person who can slit a restrained dog’s throat is a Sociopath.
You do not want this person to have authority of any kind.
Especially the kind that involves firearms.
Why are they NOT telling us the cop’s name?
Does it begin with Aamir?
I watch “Sounder” right after watching “The Yearling”, a few nights ago.
Many memories in both. The chance to show my son a Sorghum Mill was great.
My paternal grandparents had a Sorghum Mill. Love that syrup.
In Miami, 1946 , my Dad took me and my two brothers to see the movie, “The Yearling”. I was the middle son, age 12.
First name Jeffrey. See post #30.
Why would you assume that? I admit it has been years and my memory of past books read is fuzzy but I am familiar with it.
See Post #30. The JBT’s name is Jeffrey Bolger.
He’s a white man, and he looks unhinged in his photo.
You had him diagnosed before you even saw him.
Aren’t those dogs worth thousands of dollars?
Of course, that doesn’t make it worse, morally. But, legally might that also be an issue?
Sounds lot like he was on some bath salts there
