Local resident Roberto Palomino said he shot the video as he was collecting tools from his truck in Vaca Valley Parkway at around 12:15 p.m. that day.
"I was shocked. It got me completely confused. Never seen anything like that before," he told local newspaperHe added:"I just hope the dog's OK and is removed from him, gets a better partner at least."Discussing the incident, Vacaville Police Captain Matt Lydon—not the officer seen in the video—toldthat the officer straddled the dog in a standard position of"dominance" after the canine lunged and tried to bite the officer.
"What the video doesn't show is the moments prior, when the canine became aggressive towards his handler," the department said in a Facebook post.
