BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Kern County Sheriff’s deputies accused of using a cat as target practice have been disciplined and they’re back at work.

The incident happened at the Hart Park training facility back in March.

A woman walking in the park said she saw the deputies shoot a cat and kill it.

This case is completed. The allegations were sustained. The officers involved were appropriately disciplined. I met with animal rights groups; they’re content with what we’re doing,” Youngblood said on 17 News at Sunrise. “They’re back to work, but they’ve been disciplined and that’s about all I can tell you without violating the peace officer bill of rights.”

      The problem with psychopaths is that their brains are defective. They don’t have a mental illness so they can’t be treated. They are parasites on society who feel no remorse and are only motivated by their own desires. They are not at all deterred by threat of punishment. The best you can hope for is that they channel their efforts into a productive career. But if they have violent sexual desires they really should be locked up for life.
