A Ramsey County, Minnesota, sheriff's deputy has been charged with animal cruelty and assaulting a public safety dog after being caught on video throwing his canine partner to the ground and later striking it. Brett Arthur Berry was at a Carlton County casino for training when he was asked by security to leave a casino lounge. He went to his room and left with the dog. A few minutes later, video captured him scolding and then attacking the dog.

He should be charged with assaulting a LEO. Throw him in jail, maybe he'll commit "suicide".
