"I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I've come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It's the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy."
The quote appears in his 1947 book "Nuremberg Diary," which documented his observations and conversations with the defendants. Gilbert was trying to understand what could drive seemingly ordinary people to commit or enable genocide and mass murder.

If that was my dog, I’d probably be dead or in jail right now, but you could be sure that that piece of human garbage wouldn’t be around to hurt another animal or person ever again
I hate to be that guy, but they were likely arresting it's owner, and that dog was probably in attack mode. The video is too short to get a feel for the scene, but at least they didn't shoot it which happens far too often in these scenarios.

No reason to be sarcastic. Noem's a cop and cops shoot dogs.

Nothing says I'm a big and strong men than kicking a 5 pound pup.
No redeeming qualities at all.
These fuckers are abhorrent.

Looked like a puppy, too.

Yep. Of course they would kick a dog who couldn't hurt them if it tried. Bullies/fascists always target weakness.

People can endure a lot. But I know what happens if you are cruel to animals. 4chan has experience in that.
So, dox him and break his ribs.

When Shakespeare wanted to clearly indicate to the audience who the villain was he would bring them on stage to kick a dog.
This overt and intentional demonstration of villainy is to subtle for most Americans to pick up on.
