Flock-Stalking, Nazi-Saluting Deputy Given Top Cop Honors Before Hastily Retiring Ahead Of Criminal Charges

Law enforcement is often self-selecting. If you like the things you've seen cops get away with (violence, brutality, open racism, multiple rights violations, etc.), you'll probably like being a cop. And before the pedants get carried away in the comments, I'm using cop" as shorthand for the whole of the law enforcement profession, even if it's divvied up between actual cops, state troopers, federal officers, and - like this guy is - sheriffs and their deputies.

And so it seemed to go for Deputy Michael Fultz of the Brevard County, Florida Sheriff's Department. Fultz got on-boarded and almost immediately celebrated as one of the best. Here's that celebration, which is surrounded by dozens of reasons he never should have received that accolade, as reported by Matthew Gault for 404 Media.

Hired in 2024, Brevard County named Fultz its Deputy of the Year in 2025.

Here's the very next sentence in that paragraph:

The day of the ceremony Fultz's ex-girlfriend sent a letter of complaint to the sheriff's office with a long list of complaints about his behavior.

Portentous. Perhaps even ominous. Spoiler alert: it's both. The letter prompted an investigation of the newly crowned Deputy of the Year by the same entity that had bestowed it upon him. To say it's not pretty" is like saying Mt. Vesuvius was a little overactive."

The 43-page investigation found Fultz had posed for pictures as Adolf Hitler, freely used racial slurs in texts, masturbated on camera in his police vehicle, took pictures of his ex-girlfriend with his service weapon in her mouth during sex, repeatedly broke the law to generate clout online for his motorcycle themed Instagram and TikTok accounts, and used Flock to stalk his ex-girlfriend.

Ummm... there's a good argument here that this person should never have been allowed to be a person, much less a law enforcement officer. Sociopathic, psychopathic, and (obviously) at the very least, extremely Nazi curious."

Oh wait. There's more.

Investigators also found that Fultz accessed Flock while he was off-duty.

And while we all know that cops lie, we should demand better lying in exchange for our tax dollars:

Fultz denied he was using Flock to stalk his ex. He claimed to investigators that he may have been showing her how it works, and denied spying on her.

His excuse was I wasn't spying on her," but rather I was showing off secret cop tech to a person I would later have sex with while my service weapon was in her mouth?" Is that supposed to to be better? And if so, how?

And while we're on the extremely uncomfortable subject of officer-involved-sex that utilizes government-issued weapons, let's first note that the ex-girlfriend said these acts were consensual," but also realized (as Deputy of the Year didn't) that photos of these acts (if not the acts themselves) might be a poor idea and inappropriate for a deputy sheriff."

That's on top of the other inappropriate" for anyfuckingbody stuff the ex-girlfriend shared with investigators, which ranged from the deputy's Hitler impression (including photographed Nazi salutes) to text messages loaded with racial slurs.

But the ultimate kink for Fultz wasn't Hitler or racism or abusing Flock access. It was finding out the thing that made him the hardest (down there) was killing.

In April 2025, Fultzshot and killeda man who charged him with a knife. She specifically noted that the sexual encounter where you introduced the firearm occurred after your on-duty shooting incident."

That's pretty fucked up. But Fultz also did a lot of regular ass cop stuff where he assumed (correctly) he was above the law. According to investigators, Fultz had been pulled over by other law enforcement at least four times for speeding and/or obscuring his license plate. Deputy Fultz, of course, learned nothing from this experience, which thankfully didn't involve racial slurs, Hitler mustaches, or service weapons in girlfriend's mouths.

Investigators told him he had to keep his motorcycle's license tags visible. Inexcplicably, within 30 minutes of the direct order you were provided, you drove your motorcycle out of the Brevard County Sheriff's Office parking lot with no license tag attached. The incident was captured on video and preserved as part of the investigation," the investigation said.

If you thought the explanation (I showed it to my girlfriend") above for Fultz's Flock abuse was horrendous, just wait til you see the one he handed out to excuse his refusal to follow license plate laws:

Fultz explained he was speeding and covering his tag for online clout.

And we're right back to where we were several paragraphs ago. Fultz should not be allowed to exist as a person, much less be allowed to carry a gun and pretend to represent the legal force of the law.

Fortunately, he's no longer in the law enforcement business, at least for the moment. The agency that would have been fully justified in firing Fultz and stripping him fully of his law enforcement credentials somehow decided to let him resign, which means other law enforcement agencies he might approach won't find any evidence of his extreme misconduct on the official record. Some cursory Googling would do the trick, but that's unlikely to happen.

Fultz is a poor excuse for a human being and one of the last people who should ever be allowed to hold a position that gives him any power over anybody. If he had any shame, he'd emulate his hero, grab his gun, and head to the nearest bunker. Shit like this can't be rehabilitated, especially when the person involved has shown nothing even remotely approaching remorse for his actions.
