He assaulted a citizen, damaged the citizens property and got to retire with no charges filed against him. I would be getting a different lawyer and I would be looking for an investigation into that mayor. They wouldn't get off that easy if it were me.
the fact he talked about himself in the third person on the phone call about himself being a liability to the department is actually crazy he pretty much admitted that he would do something to put the police station at risk because he doesn't have patience and doesn't like his job
@@OliverMullison It makes perfect sense. Now he gets to retire like he wants to, and he still gets to keep his pension and benefits, which is exactly how it ended. He got what he wanted. And he can go work somewhere else now if he wants to.
Yes, we can all see these fellows are setting the police up to see how they react. The astonishing thing is, the police fall right into the trap and break the law doing it, all on camera. It's astounding to watch. That cop out of uniform is totally out of control.
They wanted nothing to do with the police that day , the 911 caller thought it was illegal to film him in public , the entire encounter is on You Tube Fricn media
@alan8887 Speak for yourself. Do you believe that all cameras are setting all people up to see how they react? Were the piggies cameras setting up those fellas?
@@ChewyChicken589 lol I'm pretty sure they could have used a donut on a string along with a bucket propped up with a stick. Also if people plan to bait cops they need to make sure they actually know what they are doing.
The problem is, they can behave like this with impunity, because they KNOW nothing will happen to them. What EWU failed to relay was, yes he was suspended pending an investigation, but that was a PAID suspension, and he retired ending the investigation. He now walks away without any reprecussions, and gets to enjoy his full pension. There are zero consequences for officers who behave like this. Hopefully the guy who was unlawfully arrested, sues not only the city of Utica, but also the officer in his personal capacity for the cost of the phone he destroyed. Until there are actual consequences for this behavior, it will never end.
Officer Morabito acted like a drunkard at the bar engaged in an argument. He should definitely be able to be more level headed and de escalate situations once he puts that badge on, he's not fit to be in a position of power.
I work with the public. I get treated like these people do every day. If I talked to my customers the way he talks to random people, I'd be fired immediately. "It's hard to be treated like this all day and not react." No it's not. You're just a child who never learned self control.
As a LEO, seeing this kinda shit pisses me off. The nerve of these officers. I've gotten several hot heads removed from my department. These few trash officers completely tarnish the rest of us.
@@JinaMukherjeeF If they aren't breaking a law, they can behave as rudely as they wish to. Him being a cop means he should be held to a higher standard of behaviour.
@classicGHOST141 they are auditing their job is to provoke. the cops job is to remain calm and professional and demonstrate that he understands THE 1ST AMENDMENT and doesn't power trip like an unhinged little man with a badge and gun
Not if he’s put in 10+ years of service changing lives and his community for the better. You don’t know this guys official record and everyone is entitled to a bad day. He never pulled his gun so he’s not a true psycho, he just got into an verbal argument gone haywire.
I love how the dude who was arrested finally decided to have a civil conversation. That cop was clearly pushed to the limit but he tried to play the rules to his advantage. No one won that day...
@@Lauren_C You could tell this guy you're going to bait him into doing something crazy, and his response would be to get angry, become irrational and do exactly what you just told him he would do, and he wouldn't even understand he's the reason for all of it.
I doubt it was the filming that upset them. Did you see how much harassment was taking place? Not just of cops, but first of ordinary citizens to get them to call the cops.
And I love the one Officer, blaming their phones for blowing up on the auditors. Why don’t you put the blame officer, on your fellow officer, who ratcheted the whole thing up. You guys never look at yourselves and think you’re the cause of the problem. If that officer had not gone off on a tirade, if he had kept his cool and de-escalated the situation, like he’s trained to do, your phones wouldn’t be ringing off the hook. It amazes me that the police can never look at themselves as being the problem. It’s always somebody else’s fault.
Most American cops aren't trained to deescalate. You can look it up. They have just about the lowest training time in any modern country. Any nuanced law is gonna fly above their heads, which is ironic that you and I are supposed to know every law, but they just know the most common offenses and get those wrong a lot of the time. Most also just require a high school diploma. And they don't even rate in the top twenty five most dangerous jobs.
All police have to do is just OBEY THE LAW and go about their duties in a PROFESSIONAL manner. There are serious problems in that police department and I guess the mayor and police chief condone this kind of despicable behavior.
This video should be part of a Police Academy course. How To Avoid Dumb Sh!t 101A. How does a Police Department have such a person on the payroll? Why give them any content? At no point does this Officer think, “Maybe this isn't worth it. Let me at least go verify the laws I’m trying to enforce, before I make an ass out of myself and my department.”
They can fire a cop from his first job but the brotherhood keeps them from calling him a bad cop. They may keep thru a contract?? The next unsuspecting town hires him. And on and on. I'm just speculating from what I've seen.
I remember being a kid in the 90s and being stopped by the cops all the time for mischief. They were incredibly abusive back then. The things they could say, threaten to kill you, etc. Thank goodness there are body cams now to hold these public servants accountable!
You can totally tell the cop is immediately enraged that he doesn't have complete control of these citizens from the get go, even though they are clearly not a threat.
@@darkwinter8 They do more for you than you expect. They are auditors dude. PPl act like this anyway, this is the point of auditing. You should thank them.

@@carmensandiego1727 They are supposed to be professionals. Do you know what that means? 🤡 Fast food workers have more patience than that cop and get yelled at all day. I don't think people need to be rude all the time but I thought it was pretty creative and funny.
@@dragonproductions236That's give anyone the right to be rude and ignorant .... Cuz there are cops that they should handle it, maybe people shouldn't be a$$es then get mad when someone comes back at them about their bullying.
@@amandaschmucker2787 Quite literally, yes they have that right, because as soon as you put on that badge you're less of a person because you're an extension of the state.
these people are allowed to peacefully retire instead of facing justice for their unlawful conduct… shows alot about are justice system… so infuriating and insulting to real police who conduct themselves in a legal and cordial manner.
Those three guys are total jerks too. They see themselves as self appointed heroes. They escalate a situation, clog up phone lines keeping real emergencies from being heard. They need to be charged.
"real emergencies from being heard" real emergencies call 911, which in Utica is a separate facility, those calls were to the police only non-emergency line.
No they arent heroes just people who want to get a lawsuit against the police dept when they push the cop to action then its whoa is me the cops violated my civil rights i am a victom here.@unnownme
911 is for emergencies. Someone recording you in public isn't an emergency. Nor is it illegal. That operator should have explained that instead of sending the cops. Only made things worse and wasted resources.
From what I've seen of these "first amendment auditor" types, many of them try to provoke other people deliberately. So the caller, who sounded like he had a foreign accent, might have assumed that he was being harassed because of his ethnicity or national origin. Rightly or wrongly, he probably called the police because he felt like he was being threatened. And there could be cultural differences in the society where the caller was raised, that added to his perception of a potential threat. The dispatcher has to assume that the caller is contacting the police department due to legitimate fear for his safety, and has no choice but to send officers out.
@@bobthetitanic -- Filming other people isn't the problem. Verbally harassing people while you film is a different situation. Some of these auditor guys try to purposely stir stuff up so they can get views on the Internet. The foreign man who was being filmed probably didn't know what to think, because he's probably not familiar with something like that. I'm guessing that's why he called 911. Somebody who lived their entire life here in the United States, and is familiar with these auditor types, would've just ignored them.
If you are continuously harassed by a group of men of unknown intentions or capabilities who keep screaming abuse at you - which is a fair assumption about First Amendment Auditors - I can totally understand that you would feel threatened and call for help. This is precisely what these people want: Make you feel threatened, make you feel attacked, but still being barely within the confines of the law. They want to provoke a reaction so that they can then pretend to be the victim. I have seen First Amendment Auditors follow people, yell at them, insult them... these are not pleasant people. The sergeant definitely overreacted, but it is very understandable that this hostile behaviour would result in a hostile reaction.
@@bobthetitanic Yes. Do you believe that, just because you are free to do something, that will not have any impact on other people? You are free to yell at people or insult them, but don't be surprised if they react to your provocations.
If Morabito protects people from crime all the time, what was the charge when he arrested the guy at the police station? Loitering? He was there for a complaint.
@@scooter2163 let's take that same honesty and ask what have you done to promote freedom and liberty? It's funny how these so called self appointed auditors are exposing ignorant cops and people like you.....
@@CENTURION737 whatever, you go on down to your local police department and start filming then if you think they are doing such a good service.

@@CENTURION737 btw I'll ask you the same what have YOU done to promote liberty and freedom since all's you wanna do is point fingers defending some wannabe losers lmao
If the cops came up, and just watched them without making contact, and then seeing that they are not breaking the law, told them we got a call, investigated and have determined, no crime has been committed, so have a nice day. That would go far in showing that they obey the law. It isn't that hard.
They were actually harassing the cop driving down the road. That was why he was in street clothes, he was off duty- he put his vest on for protection. He should not have confronted them himself, he should have called the station and made a report and had on duty officers handle it. As a regular citizen, I would have been terrified by their behavior and called the police. They pulled over once they knew they had pushed the cop to his limit so they could film it all, get arrested, possibly get injured and get a nice lawsuit payday. They certainly didn't care if someone else got hurt or died because they ate up the department's resources for the entire time. Parasites.
"The nature of power is such that even those who have not sought it, but have had it forced upon them, tend to acquire a taste for more." - Aldous Huxley (Brave New World)
To be fair, the people were being jerks and kinda asking for a fueled response, calling him names and all that, yes cops are supposed to remain calm but they’re people and have limits too, also to clarify I’m not saying how it was handled was ok but still, these dudes are being completely childish for the cameras and acting quite disrespectful and gross to be honest. I’d get heated to.
The public? Those auditors are "the public" in the US? People who go out to berate and provoke until someone snaps? Those people represent the US-American public?????
Morabito is not only a failure as a cop. He’s a failure as a human being. He should not be in any position of authority. If he’s married or has kids, my heart goes out to them.
Came in to file a police complaint. But the officer getting paid to sit in the lobby , says come tomorrow, then says theyre disrupting police business which is to take a report. ,
Yikes! This was embarrassing for both sides. The cops definitely did not handle the situation well at all. However, those dudes definitely were looking for this type of interaction. Feel bad for the people in relationships with them.
Wow. What the hell are you doing this job for if you can't stay calm? It's like some of the teachers I work with, if you're gonna get mad every time a kid does something they're not supposed to, you are clearly in the wrong profession.
If this officer can't handle himself in this situation I can't imagine how many crimes he covered with his badge over the years. The fact that he was allowed to retire with his pension is disgusting. And cops wonder why we don't trust them.
I despise these people who go around recording people just to get a rise out of them so that they in turn will call the police. It’s at this point that the people who are recording/live streaming decide to test the limits of the police. Most police officers know exactly what they are up to and will explain to those involved that they have every right to record people in a public space. Some police get very irritated with the people who are recording and lose their minds. That’s why we have content like this on TH-cam and other social media platforms.
Because it involves police officers, they call themselves "auditors". Filming for views and clicks, irritating for a reaction, typically they are known on social media as pranksters
@@Rightrudder2can someone tell them to stop? Nobody asked them to try and protect our rights. They're bad at it. They should try macaroni art instead, more their speed.

@@PEACEOUTPAT They're police, if they can't reasonably deal with some annoying cranks then they're useless. Police shouldn't be a 'sleeping bear' that gets aggressive in confrontations because they're supposed to be the people who de-escalate tensions.
Supposed to be anyway, cop culture in the US has taught this kind of behaviour
He assaulted a citizen, damaged the citizens property and got to retire with no charges filed against him. I would be getting a different lawyer and I would be looking for an investigation into that mayor. They wouldn't get off that easy if it were me.
the fact he talked about himself in the third person on the phone call about himself being a liability to the department is actually crazy he pretty much admitted that he would do something to put the police station at risk because he doesn't have patience and doesn't like his job

It's sad the conduct that the whole department has had throughout the video is horrendous
"In two minutes you will be arrested."
15 seconds later: "That's it, you're done."

Totally ignoring the HUGE fact he had no authority to order them to leave public property while conducting public business.
Yes, we can all see these fellows are setting the police up to see how they react. The astonishing thing is, the police fall right into the trap and break the law doing it, all on camera. It's astounding to watch. That cop out of uniform is totally out of control.
They wanted nothing to do with the police that day , the 911 caller thought it was illegal to film him in public , the entire encounter is on You Tube Fricn media
I think it's hilarious how they all claim to be aware that they are being baited but then they still take the bait
@alan8887 Speak for yourself. Do you believe that all cameras are setting all people up to see how they react? Were the piggies cameras setting up those fellas?
@@ChewyChicken589 lol I'm pretty sure they could have used a donut on a string along with a bucket propped up with a stick. Also if people plan to bait cops they need to make sure they actually know what they are doing.
The problem is, they can behave like this with impunity, because they KNOW nothing will happen to them.
What EWU failed to relay was, yes he was suspended pending an investigation, but that was a PAID suspension, and he retired ending the investigation. He now walks away without any reprecussions, and gets to enjoy his full pension.
There are zero consequences for officers who behave like this.
Hopefully the guy who was unlawfully arrested, sues not only the city of Utica, but also the officer in his personal capacity for the cost of the phone he destroyed.
Until there are actual consequences for this behavior, it will never end.
Officer Morabito acted like a drunkard at the bar engaged in an argument. He should definitely be able to be more level headed and de escalate situations once he puts that badge on, he's not fit to be in a position of power.
AMEN!
Which makes you wonder about how many citizens he has done this to when there weren't multiple cameras filming.
I work with the public. I get treated like these people do every day. If I talked to my customers the way he talks to random people, I'd be fired immediately.
"It's hard to be treated like this all day and not react."
No it's not. You're just a child who never learned self control.

Police get away with literal murder. This shouldn't be a surprise, but it's still unacceptable
Getting these videos posted is at the very least documenting these types of incidents. Thank you!
If filming police upsets these officers this much, it makes me wonder what they're doing when they know they aren't being recorded.
NO need to wonder...for decades they have been abusing their authority and citizens....time it stops!
That's why we need the auditors.
I doubt it was the filming that upset them. Did you see how much harassment was taking place? Not just of cops, but first of ordinary citizens to get them to call the cops.
Auditors are annoying af. Imagine being at work and someone comes in shoving a camera in your face trying to instigate you.
Ähmmm - was your audio switched on?? Do you really think the filming was the problem?
The rapid decay of discipline these cops showcased was alarming. Sadly this is how Officer Morbido will be remembered.
seems like all the other cops were pretty fine, it was 100% only the bully with the shortman complex
And I love the one Officer, blaming their phones for blowing up on the auditors. Why don’t you put the blame officer, on your fellow officer, who ratcheted the whole thing up. You guys never look at yourselves and think you’re the cause of the problem. If that officer had not gone off on a tirade, if he had kept his cool and de-escalated the situation, like he’s trained to do, your phones wouldn’t be ringing off the hook. It amazes me that the police can never look at themselves as being the problem. It’s always somebody else’s fault.
Most American cops aren't trained to deescalate. You can look it up. They have just about the lowest training time in any modern country. Any nuanced law is gonna fly above their heads, which is ironic that you and I are supposed to know every law, but they just know the most common offenses and get those wrong a lot of the time. Most also just require a high school diploma.
And they don't even rate in the top twenty five most dangerous jobs.
The famous "we're gonna bury this" words:
" Suspended (probably with pay) pending an investigation (that never ends in anything)"
All police have to do is just OBEY THE LAW and go about their duties in a PROFESSIONAL manner. There are serious problems in that police department and I guess the mayor and police chief condone this kind of despicable behavior.
This video should be part of a Police Academy course.
How To Avoid Dumb Sh!t 101A.
How does a Police Department have such a person on the payroll? Why give them any content? At no point does this Officer think, “Maybe this isn't worth it. Let me at least go verify the laws I’m trying to enforce, before I make an ass out of myself and my department.”

They can fire a cop from his first job but the brotherhood keeps them from calling him a bad cop. They may keep thru a contract?? The next unsuspecting town hires him. And on and on. I'm just speculating from what I've seen.

Undermines the whole reason they became cops.
easiest way to see their true colours. just say no, i know my rights. you always have to put up with flex, but its usually worth it.

911 is for emergencies.
Someone recording you in public isn't an emergency. Nor is it illegal. That operator should have explained that instead of sending the cops. Only made things worse and wasted resources.
From what I've seen of these "first amendment auditor" types, many of them try to provoke other people deliberately. So the caller, who sounded like he had a foreign accent, might have assumed that he was being harassed because of his ethnicity or national origin. Rightly or wrongly, he probably called the police because he felt like he was being threatened. And there could be cultural differences in the society where the caller was raised, that added to his perception of a potential threat.
The dispatcher has to assume that the caller is contacting the police department due to legitimate fear for his safety, and has no choice but to send officers out.
@@bobthetitanic -- Filming other people isn't the problem. Verbally harassing people while you film is a different situation. Some of these auditor guys try to purposely stir stuff up so they can get views on the Internet. The foreign man who was being filmed probably didn't know what to think, because he's probably not familiar with something like that. I'm guessing that's why he called 911. Somebody who lived their entire life here in the United States, and is familiar with these auditor types, would've just ignored them.
If you are continuously harassed by a group of men of unknown intentions or capabilities who keep screaming abuse at you - which is a fair assumption about First Amendment Auditors - I can totally understand that you would feel threatened and call for help. This is precisely what these people want: Make you feel threatened, make you feel attacked, but still being barely within the confines of the law. They want to provoke a reaction so that they can then pretend to be the victim. I have seen First Amendment Auditors follow people, yell at them, insult them... these are not pleasant people. The sergeant definitely overreacted, but it is very understandable that this hostile behaviour would result in a hostile reaction.

If the cops came up, and just watched them without making contact, and then seeing that they are not breaking the law, told them we got a call, investigated and have determined, no crime has been committed, so have a nice day. That would go far in showing that they obey the law. It isn't that hard.
WAY TOO MUCH LOGIC IN THAT COMMENT. 😁

They were actually harassing the cop driving down the road. That was why he was in street clothes, he was off duty- he put his vest on for protection. He should not have confronted them himself, he should have called the station and made a report and had on duty officers handle it. As a regular citizen, I would have been terrified by their behavior and called the police. They pulled over once they knew they had pushed the cop to his limit so they could film it all, get arrested, possibly get injured and get a nice lawsuit payday. They certainly didn't care if someone else got hurt or died because they ate up the department's resources for the entire time. Parasites.
