The Scott’s Bluff County Sheriff’s Department has deactivated its Facebook page in the wake of threats over the shooting a dog while serving a court summons a couple weeks ago.
The video released by the county sheriff’s department clearly shows the dog coming round a building with teeth bared to attack the deputy. He shot the dog when it was within a few feet.
Sheriff Overman said they worked to report threats against the department, block fake profiles, &c., but they came in too fast and concluded the only way to deal with it was deactivate the page.
