@Nate Climer So wait, was he imprisoned or not in the end? The trial was supposed to be before jail, right? So the truth came out and he didn't go to jail, right?

@martk fartkerson I'm so sorry about the loss of your dog. Sending you a hug and I'm sure she's up there where the grass is even greener and there is only endless treats, friends and frolics. I'll bet she greets you when your time comes to cross the rainbow bridge (or tunnel, or whatever it is for you).

@Julie McCormick Thank you for the info. That is heartbreaking. 😔 I would sue. Picking someone out of a line up is proven to be highly inaccurate.

@Steven John Tait so considering his past, posting bail would be difficult price wise, if it wasn't denied altogether. So with court delays and for the actual trial to happen, this dude might have been in jail the whole time.
People go to jail.
Judges send you to prison.
Jail is just the holding place until you go free or to prison.

@L F Nothing to do with feminism - what an asinine comment. It has a lot more to do with the obvious lack of laws around such circumstances and slippery slope between a witness lying and genuinely not remembering correctly.

It's like blaming all current Germans for the holocaust. Or calling all Americans murderers because their country was founded upon a genocide.

@L F feminism would argue that women are treated equally, so actually she definitely should have been punished and held responsible for falsely accusing him that respect!

@martk fartkerson Dude, I explained Poe’s law to you. Why are you still confused?

@martk fartkerson Dude, I explained Poe’s law to you. Why are you still confused?

@martk fartkerson Similar to Murphy's Law, Poe's Law concerns internet debates, particularly regarding religion or politics.

"Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

@Y2 Krashman Satire: The use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

@martk fartkerson DescriptionPoe's law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.

@Fellow Memer For every conviction one has, it is estimated that there are multiple crimes that one hasn't been convicted for.  So he should just assume that he has been made to served time for one of his many other crimes. That has got to make him feel better about it.

@Y2 Krashman Why don't you go back to your high school curriculum and review required reading.  This is like asking someone to explain algebra.  You should already know this if you're an adult.  If you're not an adult, go read Jonathan Swift's 'A Modest Proposal' along with some Sparks notes or something that will give you better context on the writing.  Get a jump start on your education.

@martk fartkerson You’ll need to explain in further detail!

@martk fartkerson You’ll need to explain in further detail!

@Fellow Memer Satire is a thing, my friend.  Like Jonathan Swift's essay 'A Modest Proposal' which suggested that Irish Catholics eat their babies to solve a potato famine.  He didn't literally mean that they should eat their babies.  You're capable of understanding this concept, yes?

@Y2 Krashman Eh, that's a little too philosophical.  I was going for something so base that it bears no similarity to human philosophy, no metaphysical human interest plays into my assertion, but rather plays off of an unthinking causation.

i dont hate women, but ive heard some pretty messed up things about the justice system in america.  it seems like if that guy’s lawyer hadn’t caught candy lying on the stand, the guy could have gone to jail for another 20 years instead of just 2.

also wondering, was he held without bail?  or could he not afford it?

@Steven John Tait
He was jailed while awaiting his trial.  It's not the same as being sentenced and doing prison time after a finding of guilt.

Everyone is taken into custody for that type of charge.  If bond is set and they can afford it, they could possibly bail out until their trial.  Otherwise they are stuck there for years sometimes.  Preparing for a trial takes time.

No, there was no retrial.  It was the only one, and he was exonerated.

He cant sue for wrongful imprisonment because he was never convicted of anything.  He was not serving a sentence.

@cassl14 are you threating the guy? I'm confused.

@skdjirrrdjdm I agree that it's a childish opinion, but explain to me how it's illogical.  "Two wrongs don't make a right" is a philosophical norm, not a logical argument.  The function of our moral philosophies are to right wrongs that reality fails to justify.  But that doesn't make the unfairness of nature any less logical.  Two wrongs make a right on a constant basis in nature, which is why we have a social contract with governments and institutions to protect our rights.  I was making a very base statement of fact -- one that I disagree with on a philosophical level, but see as plainly evident in our human nature.

@martk fartkerson That is incredibly illogical, hateful and childish. Two wrongs make a right? No they do not. Try thinking past the superficial level. Nobody should be punished for something somebody else did.

@martk fartkerson Unfortunately the same cannot be said for black people who were actually legally considered property and enslaved by rich Americans. They still get shot down by law enforcement.

@martk fartkerson so now it’s unofficially legal to lie to cops and a court, as long as you’re female. And as long as your victim is not a female? I’m a woman and can’t understand how that makes sense. If you want to do penance, I don’t know, give me money. That’s a victimless action and money is actually useful to me.

@martk fartkerson That would be an argument if we were the men that did that but last i checked those are long dead and now we're paying for something we didn't do

You never think it can happen to you until it does.  I just went through it facing 10 years solely on a false accusation of one party.  The DA and sheriff's came at me hard.  Sheriff's posted me all over FB and was all over the news here in Alabama.  Society had deemed me guilty off the FB posts and news.  Thankfully exculpatory information came out at my preliminary and the judge threw it out.  Sheriff's has since deleted the post and my mugshot, but I lost thousands on attorneys and job suspension until I was exonerated.  It can happen to anyone and I'm sure there are plenty of innocent people in prison who weren't as lucky.

@Zachary Chapman I hope you will succeed, restore your good name and reputation and make them pay compensation, and that people will acknowledge the unfairness that happened to you. God bless

Isn't government supposed to pay for your attorney if you are pronounced not guilty?


Born, raised, and lived in Canada my entire life. I've never once heard of one single officer being suspended WITHOUT pay, no matter the crime. If that was true, kudos to that department, but I have my doubts.


"Your guilt isn't in question because we have video evidence, but can you draw on this whiteboard to demonstrate where you were?" How the f*ck does this mouthbreather even exist? He should have been put in jail for this.

Ngl I really hate how some people, particularly those with authoritarian instincts, tend to completely dehumanize kids. Children deserve respect and dignity too, apologizing to the mom and not the kid is like the modern day equivalent of apologizing to a man for hitting his wife. With that monumental of a fuck-up I feel like you at least deserve a hand-written apology letter.

@A falsely accusing happens all the time. Convictions from false accusations are very rare however since you need to not only prove that the accusation is false, but also prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they knew it was false and did it maliciously. That's a very high bar and let's be honest, prosecutors are very "us vs them" minded people, and if they just got off a case trying to work with a "victim" to prove their attackers innocents, their unlikely to turn around and try to prosecute the victim even if it did come out that they were lying.

@Adam Clark Even a demotion is too lenient, because it clearly wasn't a mistake. He straight up lied about pretend evidence to corner an innocent man. Getting to keep a lower position after that is a slap on the wrist.

@GruppeSechs Agreed. That cop seriously had no reason to suspect that man was the culprit, so therefore he most likely holds bias. I think if an officer shows bias that should result in either a demotion, of losing your job. However that is unfortunately not how the corrupted police system works.

@Adam Clark I don't know how this cop didn't go to jail. It's absurd. Glad that dude got a year's worth of pay for a few nights of bullsh*t. Should have came right out of the cop's pocket and left him penniless.

Just being accused by my step mother when iw as younger triggered me so much, I feel like if cops were falsy accusing me, I would basically explode in anger lol

@Sera yeah I definitely agree on that part it’s not a competition a problem is a problem that needs to be fixed. The only thing that ticked me off was that one person  I think was saying false accusations don’t happen😭but yeah we agree

@Shaik M of course, it is a problem and the justice system has so many other problems like that too, which I'm not trying to deny. the thing that ticked me off was that one person's reply, that women accuse men more, when in reality, that's not true. and it's also not even the whole point - the problem here isn't the "gender war" it's the existence of charging innocents. so I think we agree?

@Sera I think we’re talking about false allegations and yeah it happens relatively rarely compared to other crimes but that doesn’t change the fact that the justice system has failed those men many times. There’s been multiple instances where there want even any evidence and the(innocent) accused still went to jail/probation/sex offender registry.

@Shaik M I assume you all are talking about being falsely accused of sexual assault/rape. if that's the case, then statistically 2% of rape allegations are false. if you talk about robbery, murder, abuse etc, I can't say I know the statistics by heart, but men do commit abt 80% of murders, the biggest portion of robbery and most abusers are men, so I wouldn't say false accusations by women against men are too common in those areas.

@W33d Senpai So what are they supposed to do reject the money and starve to death technically the government is paying you too. Just because they get directly paid doesn't mean they support the government and I'm sorry for your loss and i can see why you're angry, but you shouldn't judge every single cop just because some cops did something wrong. There's bad people in this world everywhere and unfortunately sometimes they manage to get a job in a police station, but the world would literally burn down if it wasn't for the law and the police.

@W33d Senpai who even mention the government or the system. I'm saying put yourself in their place and you will feel the struggle of the job and the hate you get for trying to protect the country

@Adam ClarkOne's life can come crashing down ... and in my part of the world, it happens s-l-o-w-l-y ... the cops take their time to process a complaint, and that time seems like an eternity when you're trying to go about your normal daily life while you're in a state of 'limbo' not knowing what's going to happen next and when.  And don't even bother thinking about making a complaint ... it's cops investigating cops; biased, one-sided, unfair, prejudiced and outright evil.  Oh, they're also pretty good at either 'planting' evidence or removing crucial evidence wherever possible, or at least making stuff up (lies?) to put into their reports & statements of fact.  There are lawyers in my city who 'specialise' in dealing with false accusations from shonky cops; that's right, they're making a living out of it and are almost dependent on dishonest cops feeding their income stream.

@Adam Clark That's how almost every crime goes, do you know how many rape cases go without punishment or they get an easier sentencing because they have a life ahead of them? False rape allegations rarely happen and the person rarely gets in trouble for them,  a man is more likely to be raped then falsey accused of rape

@C.R. i have my bad cop stories too. a few years ago a cop pulled me over because "looked lost", which was a lie. i said nope i am not lost, so can i be going now and he said not yet. license and registration please, then proceeded to ask why i was in the area and who was the kid with me. this was in small town indiana out in the middle of a bunch of corn fields. it was an extra vehicle of mine that only got driven about twice a year to make sure it got driven occasionally and the child was my nephew and he lived half a mile from from where we were pulled over by an unmarked truck that was speeding like 80mph down a road to catch me going 25mph down a gravel road. he was the retard for so many reasons and my rights felt violated, but i complied and was allowed to leave without incident. to be honest i always thought the cop thought i was black and it was a big nice old buick with big shiny chrome wheels.

@Jonathan L I know, it's really scary. People say if you're innocent you have nothing to fear, I'd beg to differ.

@Jonathan L I know, it's really scary. People say if you're innocent you have nothing to fear, I'd beg to differ.

@Stolas Goetia Ok that's a little much, but I think falsely accusing someone should equivilate to the charge of the crime that was falsely accused

@Stolas Goetia Ok that's a little much, but I think falsely accusing someone should equivilate to the charge of the crime that was falsely accused

@Arianna Palmer That is how the law says it's supposed to work which is good, yet it is rarely ever applied. Many people get away with falsely accusing people. For example alot of false rape allegations, a huge majority of the time the accuser can get away with a mere slap on the wrist despite what the law says.

@Adam Clark In my part of the world, the cops like to completely wash their hands of it, so the only way to escalate the situation is to hire a 'pit bull' lawyer who can sue the person for making the false report.   The problem is that the lawyer might want a new Porsche, so his client ends up paying for it.  And if the media get hold of the story, the accused's reputation is destroyed.  The consequential loss can hit hard, such as time off work, fragmented personal relationships, anxiety ... you can never recover from any of that.  Money might help, but very few people have the cash to throw at a law suit that is just a he-said/she-said fiasco.  One of the other things I've learned is that if a false report is made, the cop database is a honeypot (what goes in, stays in, permanently!), so whatever is in the false accusation or incorrectly written statement, the database cannot be edited.  Furthermore the cops believe what's in their own database and use that against an innocent person at any time in the future.  The impact of a false accusation can be really soul-destroying, and it's not made any easier when wrong-doers & mistaken cops don't have the guts to apologise for the personal distress they cause.

But imagine you're the cop and you hear "I didn't do it" hundred time a day. Now how are you supposed to know who's guilty and who's not

@Aboddon I got falsely accused in college by a young woman when I was 18.  Her story was so contradictory that it didn't even pass the whole school court system, and I missed the court thing.  I wasn't kicked out of school or anything.  I don't know what happened to her.

It's amazing that with the technology and resources that our justice system has now, they still get it wrong. The reason for false accusation lock up's is because the justice dept doesnt do their full job. It's about conviction totals.

Same. Call me names but don't accuse me. I'll start getting angry. I didn't eat the fucking stupid cinnamon roll and steal 20$! You did!

 I get Angry 😠 🤬  as they continue.

@ShishakliAus so if your in the wrong Place wrong time would you not be triggered

@ShishakliAus so if your in the wrong Place wrong time would you not be triggered

@W33d Senpai  by 2050 if we don't stop with this space race bs of trying to move earth's resources to another planet, without an artificial ozone layer solar flares will wipe us all put. That's the show I'm waiting for. History proves humans don't have the ability to stop destruction under government, capitalist and socialism and sadly that's the power that drives our world in this era. Socialism being the latest addition in the past 700 years or so

@shea h yea the justice system is just a joke like voting. They make the appearance like it's fair honest and helpful but for the most part there's an agenda or quota to push.

@Jason Brown no there's no check and balance they tend to defend the abusive actions at every turn. Especially here in ontario. My cousin is a cop they firmly believe they are the Sheppard to the sheep and for the most part they would be right but respect is earned not given. And I hold everyone of them to the negative action of one of their own. That much power requires some of the highest set standards. And for the majority they've proven to be a government task force and not protection of we the people. Happy to overstep our basic human rights each day. Look at all the homeless camps being cleared out when the shelters are overrun shutdown for lockdown or so rundown that if you are sober why you want to go live with a bunch who aren't.

Really because having a simple situation completely twisted to fit their motive was my reality from am entire police force at the age of 16. Also wanted me to take my pants off on their camera to be able to use the bathroom when I was not guilty of their stated claim at all. Avoided their constant manipulation and verbal attacks to aggravate me. 6 hours later get my unconditional release so no documentation needed reporting. I asked for a letter of confirmation and was denied. The ontario forces well Canadian government and their hits quad in general are sickening. Sadly the public doesn't get to see the majority of cases. We also recently had 3 cops unload on a vehicle kill a 1 year old and try to blame the father who simply had a dispute with a now Vilomah mother who probably wishes she had never called the trigger happy cops in the first place. Bet she won't be calling back anytime soon.

now try to think about them false rape accusation during the MeToo movement lmfao society is so quick to assume these guys did it

@Adam Clark falsely accusing someone for any crime is punishable in some states/ countries. the penalties for giving false information to the police are up to six months in jail and possible fines.<br>and you can always sue for defamation/ libel.

Absolutely infuriates me, and I'm really introverted otherwise.

Yeah same, being put in that postion just makes me mad.. Knowing that you didin't do it and still being falsely accused

Yeah same, being put in that postion just makes me mad.. Knowing that you didin't do it and still being falsely accused

I have a conviction because a girl lied and nobody would believe me. I even pointed out that if what accused me of were true don’t you think there would at least be bruising, if not blood and broken bones. I’m a very athletic man of 6’3, and she was a petite girl of about 5’4 tops, if I had hit her I think she’d probably have died. It should have been blindingly obvious to everyone that she was lying. The worst thing is that all your friends will act like they never even knew you. Some of them might even say those exact words to your face, and then never speak to you again.
Wonder of wonders, I was accused by another girl of assaulting her, and you won’t believe this, it is just ridiculous, she actually admitted in court that she started arguing with me, I tried to leave, and she chased after me and attacked me, I pushed her away from me and continued to make good my escape. When the magistrates asked me to explain myself I literally just said, yes that’s exactly what happened I don’t see how I’m supposed to have committed any criminal offence here, and they found me guilty of assault because they said “we don’t believe you.” This doesn’t logically follow since I said her story was true, if they don’t believe me they also have to not believe her.
Everyone in the courtroom was a woman, I think they all found it very empowering to find a man guilty of hurting a woman’s feelings to the point she felt it necessary to assault him.

@Aboddon yup. like those three men that served 34 years in prison before being proven innocent. and what happened to the accuser? NOTHING. those 3 completely innocent guys' lives are RUINED, and nobody cares.

I was falsely accused of bullying a girl in my grade by a cop when I was 14. Obviously not nearly as bad as being falsely accused of something and having to serve jail time, but that shit fucked me up. The cop swore up and down that they had all kinds of hard evidence and that the girl named me specifically. I cried (severe anxiety and depression due to a recent medical trauma had me crying over literally anything) and he pounced on that and shouted at me about my guilt. He refused to show me any of the evidence he had brought, and only showed my mom. Turned out the girl had only given a first name and the cop went to our school and got a list of girls in our grade with that name. I was the first on the list because of my last name. I had literally never heard this girl's name before that incident, I had no idea who she was. He later called and apologized to my mom. I've been very wary of cops ever since.

@Adam Clark It is illegal and they do serve jail time for it

@Adam Clark It is illegal and they do serve jail time for it

@Ingrid maybe you have a small social anxiety disorder. if so, its not a big deal. maybe thats why you smoke. i have been off and on those meds for 20 years, but i used to party daily 20 years ago. now my hobbies distract me enough to not even care to drink. truly i think partying is a form of self medication and as long as balance is maintained i see nothing wrong with it my self. i work in IT and i say that to mean my brain needs to function and i completely  still can even while on the meds i mentioned, plus they are cheap. to each their own

i mostly trust our system, there are checks and balances all over the place to make sure nothing fishy is going on. the black dude's situation had the best outcome, he got money and 3 people got demoted and probably took a pay loss and their dept got their asses ripped and it was bad pr on top of it all

Me too dude! I have even had nightmares about it and lots of them regarding my family, like, they accusing me, me saying the truth and they not listening to me, it's nerve-racking 😐 That's obviously because I think they are unfair with me and blame me even when they are not even sure if I did something wrong or not, they just always assume I'm the person who did something wrong, even If I'm the person who's the first to admit that I did something wrong cause I don't like lying. I'm not perfect, I'm not saying I don't lie, I'm human, but I like the truth and I will always try to say the truth and be honest with everyone and mostly to myself. People in my family judge me because I don't go to church with them anymore, I go out at night woman I smoke weed, so...being a woman doing things like that is unacceptable for them, you know how hard Christians are... anyways.. When I listen to stories about innocent people being judged and deemed guilty of something they never did, omg it makes me feel soooo bad, imagining that I could be in that situation

Giving false accusations need to hold prison time so people don't fucking do it.

I would literally cry if I was falsely accused and if I lose the case I would have years in jail

I would literally cry if I was falsely accused and if I lose the case I would have years in jail


So, he is going to arrest the guy, charge him with a crime, throw him into prison, and THEN he will investigate this case thoroughly to see if he is innocent? Yet another reason why people hate cops.


Anyone else notice that after the calm guy said he wanted a lawyer the interview continued... Without a lawyer...


It’s so infuriating when someone loses their freedom over someone else’s incompetence


I watched all the videos on this channel twice except for this one. Seeing an innocent man desperately trying to defend himself is too sad. you can't help but think that this might happen to you one day, just minding your own business till a policeman arrests you and an investigator condemns you cuz he didn't wanna do his job and just pin it on anybody. Frightening.


theres nothing more terrifying than a person with authority confident in their own ignorance.

What happened to this comment thread...?

What happened to this comment thread...?

@Wilabano De Niro only if you want to be?

@Wilabano De Niro only if you want to be?

@Kipter 1999 how did you find my comment?😂😂

Ignorance is not the true evil, the true evil is an authority confident in their own illusion of knowledge.

@Lana c: Did I say anything to truly offend you? If I did not, why are you refusing to talk with me, even though I have clearly stated that I mean no harm or offense, and do not intend to even alter your mind? I genuinely wish, if you believe in any different way to me, simply to learn where you are coming from. To hear your side of the story. Obviously whether or not you talk to me is completely your choice, but it does seem rather strange that you would ignore anyone’s perspective purely because they think in a different way. If I’m mistaken, and you’re ignoring me for some other reason, feel free to correct me in that too (lol). Otherwise, why not share your opinions? I will not judge whatsoever, I’m just curious and want to exchange thoughts. Thoughts?

@Jessie fucjing NYPD . I know… I live here too <3

@Mr. Kevin But what if he doesn't exist. Do you have proof?

@Mr. Kevin oh the irony when you're first talking about god and then calling other people brainwashed

@Lana c: if I am correct in believing that you assume an evolutionary perspective for our origin story (which is simply the most likely), then I would like to hear the arguments for it, if you would be down. I’m not looking for a fight, I just honestly must know what makes that view so viable, as to support an impervious, ultra-logical explanation for our purpose and identity. I’m asking you because I would prefer to hear it from the mouth of an authentic believer, instead of polluting my mind with my own biased research. If you believe a different way, teach me in that. I will not fight to change, just listen.

@Lana c: How do you believe the universe came to be?

@Lana c: Forgive me if I have acted intrusively. It was certainly not my intention; I am rather curious as to the reasoning and perspective of others, including and in particular those of differing beliefs. Bear in mind that this is never an act of self-righteousness or as means of judgement. On the contrary, I do not wish to change your mind. If you are receptive, I think it would be interesting and valuable to exchange information to better learn from one another.

@Lana c: Can I ask you a question with the promise of an honest answer? What is your perception of God? Clearly you know some stuff about Him… what would you believe His character to be, if He were real?

@Casus belli What makes you think that God isn’t real?

@Lana c: What makes you think God isn’t real?

@Lana c: Which god? There are about 2500 of them so chances are that one of them is real! I chose to believe in Mithra myself.

@Mr. Kevin If you're referring to the laws in Leviticus then they are bogus because shellfish are delicious, blended cloth is a fact of modern life and slavery is just wrong, even if your slaves are from another tribe!

@DarthSlobbius Yes! And that is exactly what has happened in many police departments in the USA! They promote people for something besides their competence.

You mean like everyone single politician?

You mean like everyone single politician?

Which is why politicians and basically anyone with power over others are scary

Half everyone w any type of badge if not more

No doubt.  The previous POTUS is a perfect example.

Stalin. Hitler. Mao Ze Dong. That's how powerful authority figures become corrupt - ignorance, or rather confident despite their ignorance (and many other things)

@leschx not confidence, just possible hope, since you know, these are the people that are supposed to save your life in an emergency

I dont know where you saw any confidence from the cops. The interrogating officer was stumbling at each words he was saying. He didnt know where to go with his questions and had no idea how to get someone talking.

@Lulu Bugz I think they meant generally, not just with racist cops

Not simply ignorance.
Racism.
Call it as it is.

@Claudia Bothner No one, in the history of the universe, calls those citation marks. Also while the words weren't the exact same it was quite clearly what they were saying, 'I don't believe in the laws of man because I only follow the laws of god.' Was his exact point

@Rowan Brown Hey, please don't use citation marks unless you are actually citing someone! That is a violation.You probably haven't even got what he meant right, right? I don't , and hope he clárifies it.
It is an awful thing to be falsely quóted and claimed to have said something one has not. And to be wrongly interpreted  and getting words put into one's mouth that one doesn't mean at all.

@Mr. Kevin If you think or find out about what the human being really is, what the crown of creation means, that we are not ready developed as animals are, bút have to complete our human be(com)ing ourselves together, which is the greatest challenge and unique in the universe, maybe you'd think differently about the humans you don't care about.I wonder what kind of belief in God you have if you don't believe in His creation, in us?
Most people have only a theoretical "belief" in God. And it is truly difficult to get a real, live one, since we don't get to hear or learn about it, have very few role models and society has reduced the Human being to animal, denying our spiritual part and potential.

We are supposed to develop and use our moral capacity, our freedom, and become godlike, be able to know what is right and to do it creatively in every situation.
Most need to do a lot of healing childhood wounds and old paradigms in order to get access to our true selves. And so some shadow-work, to encounter and integrate our darkness. In order to be free to choose.  Jordan B Peterson explains, the most dangerous person is the one who doesn't know and accept his dark side, but suppresses the knowledge and claims to be righteous. Believes himself to be good.

@Rowan Brown Man, wtf, why is cheese so fricking good but high in calories?

@Mr. Kevin I honestly have no idea what you're on about at this point

@Mr. Kevin Also way to talk about brainwashing after giving the most brainwashed statement I've ever heard. Like I don't care if you're religious but "I don't care about the law because of religion" is just so removed from reality

Man, with all due respect I don't give a crap about humans, there's only one authority and that is God's Law. Doesn't really matter if human laws interfere with God's, he's always the superior law.

A man who is unwilling to compromise or change is a lost cause, regardless of the degree of correctness they are believed to hold. This is frustrating and self-demeaning in friends and family, but it destroys lives and trust in the place of authority.


The super nice calm innocent man is fascinating to watch.  I wish I could be as articulate and calm as him when facing very stressful and uncomfortable situation. Glad he was awarded the punitive damage amount. I would assume a lot of people that are wrongly treated by justice system probably don't even get compensated. So good for him!


being thrown in jail for two years for something you know you didn't do... words can't describe how horrifying that can feel.


"Getting a confession void of evidence is in fact an excellent for an investigator's career. Its a mark of merit and can accelerate promotion."  Pure conflict of interest. Needs to be seriously addressed that the top priority for an interrogator as a servant of justice is to help justice prevail rather than get a confession. I read once that in some religious law, exonerating nine murderers by mistake is more moral than falsely executing an innocent.


This was great! When I watch your other videos, I can’t help but think of all the innocent people these interrogation tactics are used on daily. This was a great example of that


I can't imagine a worse nightmare than going to jail for a crime you didn't commit. The emotions and thoughts that must run through your head while in jail is frightening.

@N P Um considering you could spend your whole life in jail for something you didn’t commit I’d say that’s gotta be up there for one of the hardest life’s to deal with. But yea getting slowly beaten or tortured everyday is probably worse but having everyone treat you like a criminal when your not is not far off.

God the exaggeration in these comments...

This isn't even remotely close to being one of the worst things you can have happen.

I can’t imagine the anger I’d be so pissed off. If I spent more than a few hours in jail waiting I’d be suing for as much as I could.

@Seven Sages The innocent man  who had 2 YEARS STOLEN from him  got Nothing.

I spent one night in jail for getting drunk and man that sucked ass, I would never wanna end up in jail.

It happened to me, some friend of mine's grandmother thought she would teach him a lesson about asking her to have people over before inviting me down hours away, to fix his computer and spend the night... he went to work, she was off her medication and started freaking out on me for being there, I wound up leaving the house only to run into a friend of my friends, said the grandma was crazy and we walked the beach and skipped rocks for a couple hours... I was gone from the house to avoid argument until my friend came home, and she called the cops, told them i pointed a gun at her, and i went to jail, the next day I was sent to prison... I did literally nothing. turns out the kid I met up with had broke into a state-owned shed and stole stuff earlier that day... A police detective said he saw him and I together, I was slapped with another charge of breaking and entering... they said that i did all this stuff and I did nothing, but I was looking at a minimum mandatory sentence of 8-10 years for EACH CHARGE....  They MADE me lie in court and enter a plea bargain, said it was the ONLY way to get things reduced.... LONG story short, I wound up having to pay for a door I didn't break, do community service, and spend THOUSANDS on a lawyer, spend a couple nights in PRISON... 100% innocent. -.- the system is fucked and it nearly destroyed my life because no one listens to you when they THINK you are guilty.... The old lady even said "I didn't think they would send him (me) to prison... the state took the case over and now it's out of my hands.. I just said that so they would take him for the night and maybe he would learn to ask the person's family before just showing up." I lost a lot of trust that month, and gained a LOT of anger towards the system. they handcuffed me for 4 hours, FOUR HOURS with my hands up behind my back on a chain link fence inside the prison and laughed while walking by me as i was on my tip-toes trying to alleviate some of the pain from the handcuffs pulling my arms up to the center of my back behind me...<br>They literally laughed at me and made "punching" motions at my stomach as they walked by like they were mock attacking me... I didn't hate cops before that, at all.. But now, I look at them all differently for sure. since every single one of them was shit in that place, every... single... one.

I actually went to prison for a crime I didn't commit but the government tries to scapegoat the suspect and put all the blame on them and not realise they are the ones who has created the situation

It's the stuff of nightmares. I spent my time in pretrial reading the Georgetown Law Book and asking questions like "Why is the burden of proof on me instead of the state like its supposed to be?" I ended up falling for the marketing scheme that is the Plea Bargain. The sad part is you're not released "corrected" either. There's this crusty/ cynical side to me now that I have to suppress on a daily basis. It sucks.

I'd probably spend the entire time plotting revenge.

Imagine being sentenced for offence you your self reported to police 😉 happened to me. Sentenced to 8 weeks suspended for 12 months for being honest. Got to love police and courts in UK. 🤢🤮

@Blxck Rvssian Yees. I'm the Wishmaster. I make wishes come true.

@Blxck Rvssian Yees. I'm the Wishmaster. I make wishes come true.

It's more fury than fright, there is fear though, you're in the custody of a government controlled terrorist organization populated mainly by psychopaths and sociopaths that can do anything they want to you without fear of reprisal.

You should read the book “the sun does shine” this dude was innocent and put on death row for 30 years

It’s like “I have been going about my daily innocent routines throughout life. All of a sudden I’m locked up for nothing.”

@Dani yup. If I had money for a real lawyer my case woulda been dropped right away. Whole thing was based on someone's ridiculous lies nothing else.

it's similar if you go to jail for intentionally breaking laws you believe are evil because of your ideology. i went to jail for possession of marijuana < 1oz, and no violent charges, as an act of civil disobedience against oppressive government, and i'll do it again. many of you believe I should not be criminalized for that, but some do. if you believe I and all the others in jail for drug only offenses should stay there, I believe you are evil

It's happened to me. I did 5 years because of it in California

It's happened to me. I did 5 years because of it in California

@Tero Munakas what's cool about it? I'll assume your being sarcastic

especially for more than a while, you could lose your job! What a huge nightmare

I honestly think I'd kill myself. Imagine the frustration of knowing you are innocent and have no way to show it.

Plus your reputation is in the toilet after. When people see and read about this stuff they assume the person is guilty.

@Tero Munakas it's needless to say you're wrong, but you're wrong and do not know what you're talking about.

Tero Munakas Who thinks jail is cool or respectable. Go to jail and it’s a one way ticket to becoming social street trash

@Tero Munakas that's not how that works. If you go to prison that means you are a criminal. Criminals aren't respected lol

@Diminisher no amount money can compare to the feeling of being locked away as an innocent person

But the payout when you finally sue the city is usually pretty fucking big so I suppose its kind of a compromise.

It's really scary and knowing how corrupt the law is where I'm from, I'd probably rot in jail coz I don't have the money

Try living in a commonwealth where the state itself can add charges to your case even if neither party presses charges.

This is why always says “I’m not answer shit lemme call my lawyer” <br>Never ever answer anything

This is why always says “I’m not answer shit lemme call my lawyer”
Never ever answer anything

Must have been a nightmare time for him but at least it wasn't for too long and he got 46k compensation which probably helped him a lot in life.

@Tero Munakas cant you garner that respect in more civic ways?

New Cult King wow, so sorry. Hope you are doing well!

TheGreatDane the leading up to it! The anguish. I’ve been a super square person my whole life for that reason! I can’t even imagine.

It's about the worst thing in the world. I've been wrongfully imprisoned myself.

I'm glad it hasn't happened to me. My will to hurt the cops and judges responsible would have overtaken me.

I think about that a lot and I think my only sanity could come from if my loved ones believed in my innocence. If not I'd be lost


I live in Hamilton, Ontario and the cops here love to do the whole, "we know you did it we have evidence" thing. But they are so hungry for that "justice" they contradict themselves and it's just ridiculous. They also seem to focus so much on small time stuff and ignore the bigger issues in our city pretty blatantly.

@Garry Smith how would they know, they didn’t hire the detective lol

Why is there an Australian cop in Canada?


glad that the investigators at fault faced repercussions and that michael got compensation :) i've watched a ton of interrogation videos but seeing these cases of innocent being treaty as though they were guilty is pretty scary....especially the fact that michael and many others might have or may be serving jail time for something they didn't/haven't done :(


I can't even imagine being in this scenario... One day when I was 20, my best friend's mom told me that she didn't trust me to carry her purse because she believed I'd stolen $20 from her back when I was 15 years old. Everyone standing there clearly remembered the situation she was referring to, and how it had been another ex-friend that had stolen the money. Apparently, for years, the mother had forgotten and just pinned it on me in her memory since I was always around so often as her daughter's best friend, and she 'knew how poor I was, meaning it'd make sense for me to risk it'. I literally cried about the false accusation for days, couldn't stop thinking about it, and have still never felt comfortable around her knowing that she could even think I could do something so unkind, let alone to people I was so close to. So, imagining being accused of something bigger like this? I would crumble!

thats so wrong of your best friend's mother to do that wow.... the fact that she even attacked your background too??? im so sorry that happened to you


In the white guy's case, I can understand the officer's arrest, and hesitation in believing his innocence due to having an eye witness that placed him as the perpetrator of those crimes. However, the black gentleman had way more patience and civility than anyone I've ever met. That detective, and the arresting officers, should have been immediately fired and faced charges of their own for false arrest, false imprisonment, and negligence. For that man to spend 3 1/2 days in jail, when he didn't even come close to the description of the suspect, and for that detective to falsify every shred of evidence against him, and then to not immediately follow up on any of the man's alibi, is an absolute disgrace. Every single case this detective has ever had a hand in should again be called in to question, and looked at with fresh eyes. $46,000 seems to me like a very small judgement. <br>With only having limited avenues to hold police and government accountable, if it doesn't hurt them badly enough, they will continue to perform their duties or the negligence of same in the manner they do without repercussion.

Seeing that man desperately defend himself, after having already been to prison and knowing that he could be going back again, is so sad and frustrating.

@Daniel D yep. Second guy got 2 years in Kentucky due to a lying witness.

@NaySay Network This is Canada, not the US. So North America yes, but not the US that I think you think it is. Plus the police officer sounds English. <br>EDIT: The second one is in the US and you probably meant that one..

@yumyumhungry Ill bet she didnt go to jail. America is a joke.

The lady that lied about him probably thought it would stick because he had a record. Absolutely infuriating.

Having been involved with the criminal system before i can only imagine what was racing through his head man. The first time was scary enough. Most stressful period of my life.


I've been in prison for 8 felonies, I'm only guilty of 4. That is how the police work, get as many convictions as possible, regardless of guilt.


Well damn. Respect to this guy. Had it been me, I would at least have ended the conversation with telling him I was looking forward to receiving a full apology from this guy once he had actually done his work.


I had something like this happen to be a few years back, you see I work as a CNA or Certified Nursing assistant, I have been for 8 years. I was told that I was being suspended and a full investigation was being made after a resident claimed a male touched her inappropriately and at that time the only guys that worked nightshift was a male nurse and myself. But she had also had 2 other guys come into her room for a scan (of which I didn't know because it happened TWO days prior so she "waited two days to tell anyone) well I go to work and my nurse asks me why im at work and I said because Im suppose to work. Apparently they had called me to tell me not to come in which He said but just said work tonight and just dont come in tomorrow and I'll tell them you know that (I never got a phone call) well fast forward to after work I get home and 2 hours later I'm getting a call from work with the DON - Director of nursing, HR, APS, and a few other people on the line. To tell them what happened, they say ok we will have to suspend you until the investigation is over. Guess what it "lasted" less then 10 hours cause they fired me. Reasons? because the person who touched her had short hair... WE. ALL. HAD. SHORT. HAIR. SO anyway, I have to go to get investigated after the fact, of which the detective did this same shit, accused me, told me "HE knew the story and KNEW the truth" just wanted me to say it. Like He asked me why I had a new CNA job almost every year.. Man I dont know.. the fact that I AM a cna and we are always trying to find a better job opportunity? Because CNA's are tried like shit by most hospitals and nursing homes and on top of that I was also a traveling CNA so I would go from house to house taking care of the elderly via a temp agency where I would be called and asked if I could go do the job ( that job paid 8.50 and hour, the nursing home paid 12) He even accused me of jumping jobs so much cause it was my sick way of getting my kicks and then leaving. He even tried to go as far as say I was fired from a Job because of my lateness and calling out of work all the time, I caught him on his bullshit right there cause I hardly EVER called out of work, shit I went to work for 3 days after I had a back injury trying to lift a resident who had fallen an my coworker refused to help lift him. Pulled my back out and still came to work until I had to leave work because I was in so much pain I was in tears all my coworkers knew it. and the APS woman tried the same thing by asking me if I was gay and thats why I did it. Wanna know the best kicker of all this? I took a polygraph test - lie detector. and Low and behold it came back "inconclusive" They couldn't tell if i was "lying" or not. I know the tests aren't 100 percent be all way all. But we all know it came back I was telling the truth and the company didn't want a lawsuit. I could have easily still filed becuse they didn't give me a copy of the test to have it relooked at but I didn't want anything else to do with that company after that. So the title of this fits it so well, expect in my cause I was guilty and that was it.


I was falsely imprisoned myself, due to some technicalities of a previous sentence (a DUI from 2016). Just being accused of a crime, any crime at all, was in violation of the terms of my probation. So I was accused of one which the state has actually dropped charges on, but had to serve out the remainder of my probation on because I was denied bond until the probation period ran out.

It f***s you up pretty bad mentally to be truly innocent in jail.


The officer got so excited about finally using the interrogation techniques he learned at the academy, that he forgot to check the most important part of an investigation: the evidence.

@Abundance of Realities it’s sad no one believes women who have been raped too but you can’t win them all lol give yourself a break

Police dont care if you are actually guilty. As long as they get a notch on their statistics on solving crime. The more people convicted the better the statistic. It's like a call center, every case closed makes the statistic seems better. Whether the case was actually solved does not matter, only the statistic.

@Martin didn't expect a Rick and Morty reference here

@Dark Illusion Yeah just what i said. It's sad that women can do that.

@Abundance of Realities my friend went to jail because a woman just accuse him . There was nothing he could of done , he went to jail for 3 months

@Zae usually when law enforcement know that someone did it(beond resonabe dought) they will do that tactic to get more evidence out. But that detective should have not done that.

@Emma I'm not playing into their hands, I spend most my free time reading theory on what to do, how to do it and how to get others on board.

Ask yourself, where exactly do you get your information on theory and how the world works and which organisational methods are most effective? Do you read the old theory books yourself and discuss them with people across the entire political spectrum or do you just consume news, movies, music and other media, all of which are owned by billionaires and then just trying to intuit the answers to everything with this dirth of study alone?

If the answer is yes you should stop lecturing others and start lecturing yourself. Read books, listen to audiobooks, most the crucial world changing texts are free in many forms on the Internet now

@Zae shouldve been fired for that he shouldnt get to attempt to ruin someones life to further his career. Cops like that are parasites on society. At least he got some justice i guess

@Zae who gave them the power or supported them with abusing power?

@Random Anon No ACAB was created to emphasis the inherently bourgeois nature of the police after early attempts at getting them to side with their own people over that of the government all met with complete failure. Conservative, Liberal or communist, when given the order to massacre civilians, the police have almost never in all history not followed through

@Emma This is what your brain on Tom Macdonald looks like.

@Fremen Dialogue isn't going to solve any of these 'problems' (which are in fact intended features)

@Emma I guarantee you anyone saying ACAB hates politicians and the whole government in general so idk what you’re on about lmao. I know I hate the whole system and want it fixed 🤷 I agree some people saying ACAB don’t even actively do shit to help, but many of us do.

@Abundance of Realities what the fuck do you mean she accused him for something he didnt do besides he's actions spoke louder then words and what he said was the truth

@ira Holden Yes, keep playing into the slimy hands of the politicians and lawmakers—“Ah, nothing to see here! ACAB! Yes, we control how those guys operate and therefore, we’re the ones who can actually implement reform, but we won’t because we don’t actually care and ACAB is just an easy way to garner cheap support every election cycle!”

@ira Holden Yes, keep playing into the slimy hands of the politicians and lawmakers—“Ah, nothing to see here! ACAB! Yes, _we_ control how those guys operate and therefore, _we’re_ the ones who can actually implement reform, but we won’t because we don’t actually care and ACAB is just an easy way to garner cheap support every election cycle!”

He knows he can just go back and plant some later if he needs to.

nah theres no doubt of that they have him on the tape right there kekw, where you can't even see dudes face and just because he too wore a white tshirt

He didn't forget, he just doesn't care so long as he catches SOMEONE. Guilty or not.

@Zae <br>Suspended? Not fired on the spot and for the rest of his life rendered unsuitable for this line of work? Because in that case, wow, that's the real joke here.

@Zae

@ira Holden That really doesn't help. ACAB was started as a mantra to blame the tools and not the lawmaker's hands that hold them. Keep saying that, and don't bother the nice politican saying sweet nothings honey darling.

@Zae Exactly if you want to be the judge, be prepared to be judged yourself.

What do you mean? If a woman says something it has to be true. No need proof of anything.

@Julius Perseus Jokes on him, if you watched the whole video, he got demoted and suspended for his lack of caring. The evidence he claimed to have "seen" was bullshit too, defenitely thought he'd get the job done quick, get his pay and ruin someone's life.

"...evidence? There's supposed to be... evidence??"

Nah he didn't forget, he didn't care about them at all.  the system suit him perfectly though because it worked.


This happened to me.. I'm English, and was arrested for a domestic disturbance. I lived in the building next door and was outside smoking when the police showed up. I was wearing dark clothes and had my hood up, evidently the same description as the actual suspect. I have to say though, I was calm and collected also. I knew I was innocent. I knew there were cameras on my street, and I knew I could prove I lived in the second building. I was also quite comfortable knowing that the girl who had called the police would confirm I wasn't the right guy. I have also been as angry as the second guy, though not in a police situation. Being accused of being unfaithful with 'evidence', I was more that angry. I hated being accused of something I didn't do. Strange how different situations can draw majorly different reactions.


I would think that the difference between michael and justin is that michael believes in the justice system and knows it's just a matter of "sorting out the problems" and that everything will be just fine. I would think I would be more like michael, having that "we'll figure this out together" aproach.


Terrifying fact: all it takes to be hauled off against your will to be questioned by people who are allowed to lie to you all they want and are there to get you to confess to a serious crime, is for someone to accuse you of said crime and you be unfortunate enough to have stayed in that night


Well, spending three and a half days in prison for 46 thousand dollars? Actually not that bad. Still, for most people, this could be traumatizing. I know it would be for me, I really hate injustice, especially when it's happening to me. Kudos to this man for being so calm.

In jail, not prison. Big difference. And he didn’t know he would get $46k.
