BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Kern County Sheriff’s deputies accused of using a cat as target practice have been disciplined and they’re back at work.

The incident happened at the Hart Park training facility back in March.

A woman walking in the park said she saw the deputies shoot a cat and kill it.

The woman didn’t capture the shooting on camera, but she did record her confrontation with the deputies in a video that went viral, sparking rage from animal rights groups.

    It’s shit like this that makes me not give a shit when cops get ambushed or murdered. The whole profession is a cesspool of sociopaths that the world would be better off without. I try no to subscribe to the whole ACAB attitude and believe that they aren’t really all bad, but it’s virtually impossible to hang onto that belief when dangerous officers like this are kept on the force.
