In a video titled "Cop Realizes Career-Ending Moment Was Filmed," we see Utica, Michigan Police Officer Morabito arguing with two men alongside the road.
This channel, EWU (Explore With Us) generally does some pretty high quality crime reporting, though I'm going to report on another one where I feel like they dropped the ball. But here they did a great job with the subtitles. They open with Morabito telling a coworker to tell the mayor to get him out of this fucking job, because he's a hothead and a liability. And that's how the story ends, with Morabito taking early retirement. Morabito responds to a call about people filming cars on the roadside, which is not illegal to do. He became angry when they began filming him, which (a) is not illegal and (b) is really stupid because he should also have bodycam on. Per his quote, Morabito doesn't have the temperament for this job. Morabito is seen slapping the phone out of the guy's hand as he charges toward him. Now, this whole thing is just a giant pile of manbabies behaving stupidly. I'm posting this because nobody looks good in this entire thing. Morabito is a hot mess and needed to go. But it's hard to feel like the auditors are helping things, even though they did force Morabito into early retirement. Is that the best way to clean up our police departments? Having people go bait the police into arguments, stress testing each individual unit while actual crimes are ongoing? Unfortunately America is set up to allow each individual citizen to abuse the 911 system however they want. And so this will go on. All of this gives me a headache and makes me feel like there's nothing worth fighting for.
