The Missouri branch of the American Civil Liberties Union was rightfully incensed by such pitifully poor cop work that they submitted a letter to Missouri Highway Patrol demanding that Officer Go Fuck Yourself be removed from duty in Ferguson:

Though the officer refused to name himself to reporters, a second video shot by Youngist producer Caleb-Michael Files shows a much more identifiable picture of the cop:

According to that same reporter, the officer is with the St. Ann Police Department:

We spoke with a communications associate at the St. Ann Police Department, who told us that while the department has not issued any comment on

the matter, they are currently “looking into it.” We were told the department’s chief was gathering names and phone numbers to return calls later today.
