A fiendish New Mexico sheriff’s deputy has been placed on leave after video emerged of him fatally hurling an adorable baby bunny against the side of his car while smiling.
Grant County Sheriff’s Deputy Alejandro Gomez, 27 was seen in cell phone video recorded by other cops pleading with a fellow deputy to hand over the sweet baby rabbit the group had found in the dirt outside of Hachita, New Mexico last August, the Albuquerque Journal reported.
In the video, posted to Facebook Monday, a group of officers are pulled over to the side of a dusty road where they find a baby bunny about the size of a grapefruit.
“Promise you’re not going to kill it,” the deputy said, shielding the bunny in his hands, “Swear to God.”
“I swear to God,” the 27-year-old replied. “Give it to me right now.”
After resisting, the animal-loving deputy finally relented when Gomez threatened him with a stun gun.
Video showed the light of the gun, indicating a target, illuminating the side of the law enforcement officer.
Gomez then takes the rabbit in his right hand, looks directly at the camera, and hurls the helpless creature into the side of the car.
The videographer of the animal snuff film, an unidentified corporal in the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, laughed hysterically at the brutality.
The 27-year-old is charged with four counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon upon a peace officer and one count of extreme cruelty to animals, which is a fourth-degree felony, the Albuquerque Journal reported.
Both the sergeant and the corporal who witnessed the rabbit killing and Gomez threatening his fellow deputy are still employed, with neither being placed on leave despite their failure to intervene, the State Police said, according to the report.

People like those two not only need to be removed from ever serving in public office but from the human race as well.
This is how serial killers start.
Video showed the light of the gun, indicating a target, illuminating the side of the law enforcement officer.
That is inexcusable.
Also arrested was a duck. When questioned the duck said “this guy is less bright than that Fudd Dude. He actually took my word it was rabbit season.”
Lack of compassion and sadism is common in Law Enforcement. It is a prerequisite to be able to even do the job...
Why were these police pulled over and dealing with this rabbit? If this is a wild rabbit how did they catch it? And why would he threaten a fellow officer? Is this sort of thing what they do with their time?
“finally relented when Gomez threatened him with a stun gun”
Weakling shouldn’t have given in.
But everyone out here knows this is the way MexiThugs act.
And that’s why they shouldn’t be dressed up as police or even allowed in civilized countries.
The fact that the one deputy made the other promise he wouldn’t kill it, suggests he had some reason to believe the other deputy would kill it. To me, this suggests he’s done this kind of behavior before. I wouldn’t automatically assume someone who asked to hold a baby rabbit is going to kill it.

Why I could never be cop.
Why didn’t they just leave the thing alone?
“Oh, look! A baby bunny!”
“Sharp eyes! Neat!”
“So anyway…”
“Of course you realize, THIS MEANS WAR!”
I wonder what his immigration status really is.
It would be a real shame if someone would throw Deputy Alejandro Gomez against a wall with enough force that he’d end up like the rabbit. A real crying shame, I tell ya.
This pathetic sociopath has a long losery road ahead of him.
Jimmy Carter would approve.
Seagulls are the rats of the bird world.
It’s hard to believe those nasty, aggressive creatures are protected.
That is a cynical attitude. Even the report says that this one guy was surrounded by other non-participating cops one of whom was an animal lover.
I work with and around cops a lot and the rule is they are compassionate and reasonable. The bad cops are the exception.
Don't judge the whole by certain exceptions.
Having lived in Grant County, I’m not surprised at this story. Disgusted, but not surprised.
I don’t believe that at all.
You sound like a very bitter person.
