The K-9 filmed being punched by its handler has been removed from the officer's home and "placed in the care of a third party," the Vacaville Police Department said.
Last week, Vacaville police launched an investigation one of their own after video surfaced on Facebook of an officer punching his K-9 partner during a training exercise.
A short clip posted on Facebook last Monday shows an officer with the dog pinned between his legs near a warehouse on Vaca Valley Parkway. At one point, he reaches back and strikes the dog. According to witness Robert Palomino, the officer punched the dog repeatedly before he caught the incident on camera.
"I heard a dog crying, when I looked, the officer was punching the dog over and over and got shocked about it," Palomino wrote. "... Im sure he saw me, he stopped beating the dog when he saw me and went behind those trailers in the video."

Aside from the cruelty to animals charges, the dog is also state property. Throw the book at him.

I'd like to subject him to the same repeated abuse he used on the poor dog.
Neutering the monster cop also seems appealing, minus any anesthesia, of course.

Then he'll go one town over, and get re-hired.

Sorry to be a downer on your thread, TT.
