Gabby Petito

I dunno what to do, but when you pull up on a car with a woman crying, you may want to do something.

Please never become a cop

+1. White knights are one of the worst plagues of them all in the entire justice system. I've seen manipulating women get away with everything, including murder.


How it should be:
Treat each and every person exactly the same. White, black, teenager, attractive crying woman, fat man, grandma.... treat them all like they might pull a gun out of their genitals or butt cheeks and kill you when your back is turned, but be polite and respectful about it.

PS: A friend of mine was a cop in OKC and got shot when a woman pulled a gun out from her tits while he was dealing with the guy. He ended his career after that. Reality of crappy people is not Hollywood, unfortunately, "nice" people sometimes hack up their neighbor and eat them, and they are friendly as can be while talking to you.

Meanwhile the homeless guy that looks like he came from 'stan wearing a suicide vest may in fact be one of the best people at heart. Can never judge the book, even if a person thinks they are good at judging.

But, also fuck transients. GD drug addicted, every one of them.

As I recall, the interaction was for hours.

Yup, and that's damn good work by the officers. No serious crime, just an argument and high emotions. The officers kept everyone around long enough to get tempers calmed down as much as possible. They didn't have to spend that much time, but they did a lot to try to help those two.

And even when they do everything right...

It's great that hindsight is 20\20.

Also a bane of our country is the "if only they had done something" mantra. That's half our excessive regulations right there, all by itself.

What were the Moab cops supposed to do, assume they know all the facts, have a genie check the future, separate them and give her solo psychotherapy sessions for 90 days until she realized her boyfriend was controlling?

Because yeah, that's what it takes when dealing with a triad. She'd go back to him otherwise. They always do. They could've spent a week on that call and it wouldn't have done a damn bit of good. And no crime witnessed on the boyfriends part, so unless we want total recall shit, or we want cops arresting us on presumption of future crime, it happened exactly the way it should.

I guess I don't understand what more the police could have done.
According to the timeline:

A 911 call is placed by someone who reports seeing a confrontation between Gabby and Brian.
The caller said he saw Laundrie hit Petito.
Police in Moab, Utah, are dispatched and pull the van over.
It is unclear if they knew the details of the 911 call.
Police bodycam video shows Petito crying and upset.
The police report says that Petito hit Laundrie, but no arrests were made.
The couple is separated for the night - Laundrie checks into a hotel and Petito stays in the van.

If the couple was separated for the night, what more could they have done?

I thing that many believe the LEO failed after the missing person report published. BF lawyered up right our of the gate and they pretty much ignored him, nobody watching to make sure he didn't disappear.
Innocent until proven guilty and all, but they should have made sure he didn't fall off the edge of flat earth at that point.

I saw nothing wrong with the UT cops at all.

+1 to that. Sounds like neighbors saw the parents loading up a slide-in camper and taking off with their son which they reported to LEO that they were leaving. No follow up. The FL end is definitely a screw up.

Florida police are dropping the ball like Michael J Fox trying to juggle greased apples? Imagine that.

I guess we should give them a break, with all the Florida man calls it's gotta be hard to not be busy and/or distracted in that police force.
