A Baltimore cop allegedly slit the throat of a dog that officers had under control.
Jeffrey Bolger, 49, was booked on felony animal cruelty charges Wednesday, his department said.
"I'm going to (expletive) gut this thing," he said before killing the pup, according to charging documents.
They are shocked by his actions.
Police Deputy Commissioner Dean Palmere, who called the killing "outrageous and unacceptable," said the incident is under investigation.
Nala's owner, Sarah Gossard, explained that her pet somehow escaped from her backyard that morning and was found by a nearby resident, Sandy Fleischer, a few blocks away.
His colleagues say Nala, the 7-year-old Shar-Pei, was restrained on a dog-control pole and posed absolutely no threat to Bolger on Saturday, the Baltimore Sun reported.

scum.
This goon is a vicious pig. If he has done this, then it’s a certainty he’s done similar things to humans he’s confronted or had under his control at one time or another.
He should be in a prison, not wearing a badge.
It was a sharpei.
Yep a woman would have been next. A true sadist, this cop.
A diversion from the real gist of this article. Whether the dog bit someone is immaterial in my view. Details indicate the officer cut a dog’s throat with his knife while it was securely restrained.
There is no defense or justification for what he did.
Why is the person using an ace bandage for sprains instead of a gauze bandage for wounds?
You’ll never find me among that group.
I wonder how many times he's done things like this or worse before this one. A lot of psychopaths have a history.
I doubt he'll receive the sort of street justice I'd like to see happen to him.
(Dear God, please correct and forgive my thoughts.)
I think it is for a certainty that the departments test for, and want, applicants with a high degree of aggressiveness. There may be no available test for sadism but if there were, I'd bet that the departments would not see that as an undesirable quality. The b#stards.
” Officer Jeffrey Bolger.”
Sure it isn’t Jeffrey Dalmer?
I understand the urge to paint police as thugs...
Oh, you do?
What a psycho.
There are plenty of good cops, but the bad ones -- !
In this case, there were 4 cops on the scene. How many of them were bad?
Hint: none of them reported the incident.
A cat guy?
If you are right about that, all four should at least be fired.
