(Surov Dmytro / Dreamstime.com)
Salisbury, North Carolina, police officer James Hampton has resigned after a local TV station broadcast video of him lifting his K-9 partner by the leash, slamming the dog into the side of a patrol car, and hitting the dog. There was no date on the video, and the police police department did not say when the video was shot. "We're good, no witnesses," someone in the video can be heard saying. That person was not identified.
