Four New Mexico deputies captured in a viral video loafing around on taxpayers’ dime and entertaining themselves by terrorizing a baby bunny were all fired last week following a year-long investigation.

Deputy Alejandro Gomez, the 28-year-old star of the video captured threatening his coworker with a taser before fatally chucking the poor rabbit at their patrol cruiser, was axed alongside three of his unidentified colleagues heard speaking in the video, Grant County Sheriff Raul Villanueva said.

Villanueva refused to comment any further on the “personal matter.”

The video, which resurfaced in July, showed the four men passing around a baby rabbit hardly bigger than a grapefruit that they found on the road.

Two men who don’t appear on camera can be heard cackling all the while as a deputy cradling the bunny moves to release it on the ground.

Gomez, though, didn’t want the fun to end so soon.

He stepped in and pointed his taser at his colleague, demanding the rabbit be handed over to him.

His colleagues were skeptical and asked multiple times if Gomez was going to hurt it, while the deputy just smirked.

“I won’t throw it,” Gomez assured.

“Swear to God?” one deputy challenged.

“I can’t do that,” Gomez said.

The deputy holding the rabbit tried to walk away, but Gomez followed as the others kept insisting to “let him hold it.”

“Don’t f–king kill it,” the deputy tried to order before handing the doomed bunny over.

Gomez immediately pivoted to grin at the camera before reeling his arm back and launching the rabbit at the side of their cruiser.

“Dude…” one man said, clearly disappointed in their friend.

After the horrific video came to light, Gomez was placed on leave and charged with four counts of assault on a police officer, and one count of extreme cruelty toward animals in February.

The other three weren’t placed on leave, but have now all lost their jobs, including the one who reported the matter in the first place.

The post 4 New Mexico deputies fired in wake of viral video showing smiling cop chucking baby rabbit at cruiser appeared first on New York Post.
