It just scares me to think how many innocent citizens are in jail, being charged with a crime they didn't do. And to know that their are detectives out there falsifying evidence to get people charged with crimes that were never committed. Makes me sick.

...and people that deserve hell get off easy

@Truth17John17 Some of them got the death penalty. They were innocent too...

@tatt4music Extremely small <b>reported</b> percentage.

@tatt4music Extremely small *reported* percentage.

@Truth17John17 In America its estimated to be between 25000 people...and 150000.

It'll be worse here in the states thanks to the new SC act. Literally taking away a person's right to appeal when given horrid representation. Basically going to jail because you're poor and can't afford anything better than court appointed.

@z brooks man said defence attorneys are disgusting😂it's there job? Everyone is legally entitled to a solicitor, someone's gotta do it? And they make good money, I sense jealousy.

And there’s a guy who commented to take the side of police guy lol, maybe he was the police

I've read that it could be as much as 8-10% percent of people in prison are innocent.

@Truth17John17 has to be the most frustrating, hopeless feeling in the world.

yeah you get so used to seeing good detectives on here you forget just like any other profession there are good guys and there are scumbags

well at the same time you could also say that there's an equal amount of guilty people running free because of those same flaws.

@tatt4music exactly I've been to prison twice was in jail my teens into my 30s never met one inmate that seemed innocent everyone like their are millions of innocent prisoners 99.9% of all in inmates in the United States are exactly where they need to be

@Truth17John17 The average citizen can't imagine, and the number is astronomical! All of this because the cops need to try and justify their paychecks to their superiors!

Fact; A detective Can "Legally" Tell You That He/She Has Evidence That You Committed A Crime! There is no consequences for the police that lie!<br>I Speak From Experience!

Average day in America. Now you know why we have the highest prison population in the world both in overall number and per capita.

And when he gets out of Jail, he's no longer the same man. Employers and companies won't want him. So at the end he may turn in a life of crime.

We live in a Society.

@Truth17John17 no investigators are smart they know who is guilty but imagine the amount of people who were guilty for sexual assault, murder, assault, and rape, millions mate millions. Defence attorneys are disgusting because they defend people who everyone knows who’s guilty.

It is said, 25% are innocent. The cases were ppl have served over 30-50 years in prison before being exonerated breaks my heart.

its big business. they are rewarded with it. they are even more rewarded when they steal your property.

@Mick K that's a good point but atleast they actually criticised their government, the criticisms being true or false they atleast do something they were told not to do, but what the original comment was talking about was being 100% innocent and get still ending up in jail in a first world country that has not the best, but at least an honest try at making a justice system, yet still being punished for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

And when people talk about prison reform and stuff and there's those people in the comments so smug saying "Well don't do crimes then if you don't wanna go" "Just obey the law then" as if there aren't plenty of innocent people in there right now.

Think of the countries that imprison people for criticizing their governments or just disagree with them. Happening now around the world.

The french novel Count of Monte Cristo painted a bleak but ultimately hopeful picture of how one can earn their life back from even the deepest corruptive, selfish influence that uses the justice system's faults for their sins.

200 years later, fuck all has changed, only the hope that occurs for the second half of the novel dwindles ever further.

And for every falsely imprisoned citizen, the actual perpetrator of the crime is walking free in their place.

We probably can't even imagine the number of innocent people sitting in prison right now.... I bet the number is astronomical.

remember on life when martin says he’s innocent and the warden says every man here asys that don’t you find that a bit funny ? martin says forgive me if i don’t laugh now this all makes even more sense


This is why I don't trust the justice system...


'Basically the truth is paramount' says the detective after lying about having a video recording of Michael committing the crime! Unbelievable!!


Wow, it'd be nice if the US paid you for damages when you're wrongly incarcerated.  I was locked up for 3 months for something I didn't do while I was living at home to take care of my sick mother.  When the charges were dropped it was basically "sorry about that, good luck".


I find it really stupid that in many countries there is the thing called "guilty until proven innocent"<br>In germany (where i am) there is the thing called "innocent until proven guilty" and that is how it should be imo

Detectives like this is why people don’t trust the justice system.

I was pulled over just for vibing in my car with a song, almost got arrested but when checking on me, there’s only one Valid reason my (Suspended Driver’s license)

Now I’m on probation but on The date of the court one of the officer’s was making some stupid Jokes about stabbing and some other shit but a civil citizen making jokes like that will be serious probably taken as mental problems

@O.K. -Oll Korrect or Ole Kurreck maybe because the prosecutors have actual relationships with the police.

@Mo Green because usually the police didn’t do anything wrong

@O.K. -Oll Korrect or Ole Kurreck conviction rate for police misconduct is really low.

@Legitmlgninja even the ones who investigate the police and sentence them to jail..? You do realize cops still do go to jail whether or not the internet gets on them, right?

Legal system, it has nothing to do with justice

The man is still a detective. His name is Jason Leek.

Cop had an English accent, makes you wonder if he'd been in the police in the UK and had to leave for similar behaviour. Lying about evidence to that extent wouldn't be allowed under English law (not since they started recording interviews anyway).

@Cheef Queef sorry to see you go so soon, we'll miss you :')

Makes me sick seeing a dude fully changed his life and knowing he didn't do it, knowing they were gonna charge him when he was asleep at home.


This is why I will never willingly let myself be taken by police when I know I have done nothing wrong. They will know they have been in a fight. And I would love to have the president set that someone resisting what turns out to be an unlawful or false arrest is allowed.


Whether you did it or not is no longer the question... this is the courtroom, and this cop is now the jury!


There should be a law that falsely accusing someone gives you half their sentence. Of course, this only applies if it was intentionally false.


Why couldn't they ask the bus driver if he was on the bus? It's almost like they didn't WANT to prove his innocence


The investigator was clearly faltering/stuttering when he realized the guy didn't do it. Some people care more for achievements/promotions/money than someone else's innocence. It worries me that people like this get do decide people's livelihoods and act self righteous about it. Disgusting.

Unfortunately tons of cops are like this and had happened many many times throughout history. Lie the deathrow exicutioner guard who was told everyone of these inmates is going to lie and tell you they are innocent to their last breath don't believe them. His thought process was the courts world never be wrong and the officers who started them could never be wrong. Well he found out what he knew was wrong and tons of innocent people have died at his hands who had been innocent.

Did I misunderstand the outcomes here or did the Black Guy spend less than 4 days in jail and was compensated $46,000 but the white guy who was also innocent spent 2 years in jail with no compensation? Just so this is understood before someone starts in about this being systemic racism. Because if this is the case it is a perfect example of the system working great! Also, consider how this man was cooperative and was not in any way roughed up or abused physically.

@Michael & @Thomas Carnacki  Great points and well stated but you are talking to a brick wall. Once they begin to condemn people on thoughts "not actually always or even usually a conscious thing" they are just not worth your time. You can not reason with the thought police. To continue any further is just a waste of your time and effort.

@Thomas Carnacki A cop falsely accused a black man of a crime when there was no evidence he did, and the evidence there was actually pointed to a short white man. There is an extremely long and proven history of police being extremely racist, especially towards black people. To act like the probability of this police officer being racist is the same probability of yourself being an alien is asinine. The probability of that police officer being racist is significant, which is what that comment said. This is obvious to anyone with a functioning brain. To say someone saying that officer is PROBABLY racist in a youtube comment, is just as bad as the officer who is falsely accusing and imprisoning someone is so ridiculous that it boggles the mind.

This. You are correct. As in any profession, it is possible to become jaded or worse. Myopic tunnel vision focused on career advancement will have the same effect. The effect is a lack of empathy and dehumanization of others. As soon as this occurs, that person becomes very dangerous. As soon as someone loses empathy and begins viewing people as "less than" them they behave similar to sociopaths. They have built a framework in their mind that makes them feel justified.

If you work in a profession dealing with other human beings and hold power over their lives and begin operating in this manner, you can ruin so many lives.

Never. Lose. Your. Humanity.
Always remember the golden rule.

Exactly right.  And there are NO consequence for these low life "investigators".

This was exactly what happened with Tom Sneddon & the trophy hunt of Michael Jackson.

@AutomationDnD Why do you spam periods? Reading that in my head almost gave me a seizure.

Yeah they for sure needed the confession. All of the facts you view as dispositive are just inaccuracies that create hurdles for them. “Yeah...the report does say a white guy did it, but he confessed!”. His innocence really wasn’t in question until it clearly was an interrogator got shook lol. Probably why they didn’t investigate his alibi, too busy looking for who did it

it happens .........FAR Far more than you may think
...it happened to ME, ... & it was not pretty , at all.... and NO I never got any money
I got far far worse... but trust me, it happens a LOT ................... a ........ Lot
the cops are accustomed to seeing .............EVERYTHING......... in terms of "You" & you & you~too ALL of you are guilty... all of you (they do NOT assume "innocence" ... EVER)  everyone is GUILTY till proven INNOCENT

@Thomas Carnacki here's the thing, and trust me when I say I am TOTALLY with you on the throwing the term racism around at literally everything- it's a problem!! However, theres a few things to consider' first of all racism is not actually always or even usually a conscious thing (like a conscious belief that someone discriminates based on race or that race makes inferior/superior or that all balck people are criminals or gang or poor etc etc) but rather  usually it's an unconscious perception/bias/ or a systemic issue ( the racial profiling of black people as probable dangerous/criminals etc is both a systemic and often unconscious racist idea that people are fed through media movies culture etc, and particularly for police despite that yes there is more crime/police more likely to be killed by black people it doesnt mean police can justifiably just treat and assume every black person is criminal or guilty or w.e, if a police picks up on cues in the environment that they are in danger/someone is guilty etc and its based on reliable cues and facts and part of that includes race in some way that's not necissarily a problem, but when it appears that race is one of the only cues or facts they ate using to justify a stop or arrest or shooting or etc than that's defintley a problem of racial profiking & discrimination discrimination etc[doesnt mean they hate black people/racist in traditional sense!] )....in this case here's the thing, their literal only reason for arresting him was bc he was the first person they saw walked out of the area/alley or whatever where the suspects  had supposedly run. That's the only reason! Despite the complete controversy in the original suspect description, his alibis, video footag, etc, just about all evidence exonerates him, yet they didn't even TRY to confirm his involvement with any evidence at all. Now think about this, sure you can try to say well theres no evidence of racism it's not a fact w.e, but I always think about things like this-- I'm a skinny/blond/blue eyes/i'd like to think I'm pretty ok not bad looking/young woman, and I try to think om so what if I was in place of this guy & walked out the same spot at same time he did instead of him, I have an extraordinarily hard time imagining the same scenario possibly plays out, even if it got to the level or initial arrest, I find it impossible that they would continue to neglect checking ANY of the actual facts and evidence  of the case. Now if you want to say oh well that's bc you're a female, that may be fair( however white vs black Male vs female is virtually the exact same type or level discrepancy which didnt matter to them) but just think this , ok maybe we say it doesnt count if women even though really the same thing they did, but let's just say it doest count, think about if the same scenario happens but this time say it's a maybe 40 yr old clean cut man in a business suit/ expensive shiny shoes/black brief case/clean hair cut etc and just overall professional looking man walking with his brief case and on business call or w.e, its the same thing, theres no way the police would behave in the same way they treated this suspect, it just would never happen. Therefore you really have to conclude that the police were acting off of the generalized profile of a black person being a likely suspect, in other words their unconcious bias(at the least), remember they have NO evedice other than he's in the area, and if being honest we know that this would not be an acceptable reason (for even arrest or at the least the disregard to check alibi evidence for days) for a good majority of people who might be in the place of him, so the only reason this appears to have happened how it did and the police just accepted his guilt with 0 evidece and neglected to even try to check his claims or any facts whatsoever is pretty evident due to the fact that he's black- their bias kicked in as his guilt is consist with their bias, but that would almost certainly if not certainly wouldnt have happened to a non black male his age... so in this way it really does seem like a fa tor here, but not in the "ong their evil white supremacist" sense, just in the unconscious stereotypes and system type of way which is something society and police need to deal with using more self awareness and mindfulness in situations and reflecting on guns logically not emotionally

A police officer needs to do their job in investigating or interrogating with complete disregard, if they can, for what they personally think is the truth of the situation. The judge decides the verdict, not the officer. You've got a very warped view of how the justice system is set up. Police make arrests and collect information/interrogate/question.

@Sony "the suspect was described as a small white man yet the cops arrested a tall, black man." could just as well be them being absolutely uncaring, lazy arseholes (which personal experience informs me a lot of them are).
 Beware statistics.....they also say a lot of black people commit crimes.
Sony, they could well have been racist but i also COULD be an alien ! it turns out i'm (probably) not but am "On the spectrum" and like to only deal in facts. Statistics are also known to not be facts but the manipulation of data that can be skewed which ever way is needed. So, i'll consider stats while pondering a subject but don't acknowledge them as facts.
i think we may both agree that the state of the western justice system is fucked. It is corrupt and not nearly fit for purpose anymore and in need of a massive overhaul. This guys ordeal is jus one more example of that and i'm glad he only spent 3 days in jail....we both know it coulda been hella worse.

@Sony Umm, bit o semantics there.
Why say it at all? "Probably" in no way negates the projection. The statement itself IS the projection. You inserted Race into a discussion where there is absolutely no evidence of it.
 Seeing racism where there is non only hinders any forward movement in tackling actual, provable racism.
P.S. Projecting is a big word ? erm, o.k. we'll have to agree to disagree there.
  i "Don't know what it means" ? Now who's making assumptions ! Its neither a big nor complicated word, Sony.
 Anyway, appreciate you being civil. Please don't take it personally, letting cognitive dissonance direct your thoughts.
 Critical thinking reveals that inciting Race as a factor without evidence is baseless and IS indeed projection.
 No ill will, Sony. Jus trying to help keep people sane in insane times.
Again, seeing racism where there is non helps no one.

@Sony That's jus as bad as the cop, Sony. You have no facts to back that up, just projecting and that helps no one and nothing.<br>Point it out when you see it for real, don't throw it around willy nilly.

@Sony That's jus as bad as the cop, Sony. You have no facts to back that up, just projecting and that helps no one and nothing.

Happens a lot, make sure to hold your local authorities accountable. People in power can’t seem to handle themselves

It was obvious he was not confident when he walked in. He could have been told by a superior to walk in an just confront him as if it was a matter of fact to see if they could get a confession without having to work for evidence. But neither of us heard that conversation, so we don't actually know.

In his mind, he is could have just been doing his job and did not realize the severity of what he was doing until the suspect's innocence showed through.

Not as an excuse of course, but more of a matter of perspective. Understanding perspective and being objective about it will compliment your conclusions much better than assumption bias ever would.


"Innocent until proven guilty" yet taken out your home handcuffed treated like you did it, talked to like you did it and everyone on the outside believes you did it but when you got video proof of someone doing somthing they get a trial lmfao that makes 0 sense


When the officer explained he was gonna be kept locked and he would investigate the alibi immediately I thought "man, what if this officer just don't care enough and will delay this investigation for days..." and... that's exactly what happened lol Good thing the guy knew his rights, earned a pretty nice amount of money and the lazy officers got fucked.


The second dude is a prime example of why you should ALWAYS get a lawyer even if (especially if) you're 100% innocent. I mean the first dude should have as well, but he was calm and collected enough that his fear of going to prison didn't make him up and volunteer incriminating (if irrelevant) information, unlike the second dude who started talking about "The only Candy I know is [...]"


This is how you need to act towards police officers always.

Do not acknowledge or even reply to accusations, just move on from them.

Don’t be intimidated. Be patient.  Do let emotions get had best of you.


Imagine thinking "tall black guy" is synonymous with "short white guy."  Gross negligence, and a demotion is far better than deserved.  When you can't even get things correct by simple plain as day details, you have no business in that profession.

@Pol he looks as white as he looks short standing at "just" 6'3"

Petition to get this detective fired, where?

they keep saying systematic racism does not exist

@bruce0767 no. the video says the INTERROGATOR didn't review the tape. so if he would have done his job correctly,  he wouldn't have been trying to coerce a confession out of an innocent man. he also wouldn't have been demoted and his department successfully sued.

don't try to draw a parallel as if your case was the same. this man was profiled and  jailed under false pretense.

@Gizamalukeix that analogy was dumb af and didn't correlate AT all to the situation at hand. It was flat out racism. You're going to have to give a better explanation than that BS you typed to get people to see otherwise

It’s the humiliation from working so hard to get to become a Detective, only to be demoted back to the bottom of the totem poll, that’s the real punishment for the officers. For them, there is no more up, they’re stuck down at the bottom where they belong for this disgusting negligence

well every guy is guilty but never a girl...

That guy was trapped in a Dave Chappell sketch. „Be on the lookout for a man between 4,6 and 6,5. he’s wearing Nike’s. GET THIS MAN!“

@Juan We are talking about this case specifically. There is clearly some sort of underlying bias or prejudice going on here. Why else would they go so far to arrest a man that doesn’t fit the description they were given, instead of just politely interrogating them when they aren’t a threat?

@Grimslade Leviathan I'll chalk it up to a cocktail of bad ideas/thought processes.  Prejudice, laziness, negligence, racism.  All the same, it's dangerous and he has no business in that position imo and his punishment was too lenient.

When you arrested someone who's description is literally the complete opposite from the description the caller gave, I don't think we can just call that negligence there is most definitely something else here

@Pabla Valdez The interrogator ignored proper protocol

@Pabla Valdez They neglected key details regarding the suspect's reported appearance and instead arrested and interrogated someone who did not match said report in any way. If the man interrogated did not act the way he did, he could have been charged with crimes, which is pretty serious if you have any idea of what it means for someone to go to prison.


Re: Michael: If the interviewer's lips are moving, he's lying. Guess he thinks his career is worth his soul.
"I give you my word."  Michael should have pointed out that the interviewer has already discredited himself, and so his word is worth nothing. Lawyer up.
"Anything you say CAN and WILL be used AGAINST you in court of law." Think that over. Shouldn't take long!


Holy shit, I remember this case. They even talked about it in the US


Regarding Michael's case, I'm glad he got that payout and that all the officers involved were demoted and suspended without pay, but were they executed?


“How can you prove to me that you weren’t there” NO, how can YOU prove that i was there.<br>Really shows that it is guilty until proven innocent.

“How can you prove to me that you weren’t there” NO, how can YOU prove that i was there.
Really shows that it is guilty until proven innocent.

@Ember Hermin Yep, trying to shift the burden of proof, the weasel.

Seriously that is a logical fallacy there!

He would just say the line "We have you on video again."

He's not looking to prove him guilty, he's trying to get an admission of guilt.

Yes, that IS how it actually works, which is why court exists. But before then, they're just trying to get you to damn yourself before you reach that point.

Which is why they are required to either assure that you are there voluntarily (as a witness), or that you have the right to silence (when charged for a crime). Because in both cases, you are informed of methods that you can use to prevent from providing damning evidence against yourself, and in the case of a witness statement, you can just leave, while in the case of being charged of a crime, that you don't have to respond to their provocations, questions, or lies.

In some cases though, if it's a closed shut case that you are innocent, and you do tell the truth, often having that dialogue with the police gives you a stronger position in court when the dominoes fall back on their lap, because then you have more merit and grounds to gain more as compensation, and demerit those that wrongfully charged you.
because you can present that you've already provided the aliby and information to them, and they still wrongfully detained you.


What a terrible technique they use, when they think that if they are getting more aggressive to the claims, they are more guilty, it just doesn't make sense nowadays


4:11 I disagree. It seems more logical to assume he was asserting self confidence. Asserting self confidence and asserting dominance is not the same thing.


Lmao reminds me of when I got accused of something I didn’t do in the navy and NCIS investigated me got proven that the guy was lying but I still got separated for no reason


i love the end of this video!  Michael was awarded damages!  he is so deserving of that!


Ngl, watching innocent people being wrongly accused and going through this kind of ordeal, when detectives don’t believe them, is by far more terrifying than watching a heinous criminal confess to gruesome murders.

@andra6a6b nah, but its definetly a much bigger problem in the US than anywhere else in the world since slavery is still legal to do to inmates.

@SirMichael By saying what I said it seems as if  Your trying to push a narrative and you make it seem it only happens to black people this might not be what your trying to do but the wording you use gives that illusion which is why others are correcting you and this not an attack on you as a person so try not to get too upset

@Bo Bo Can you showe evidence of this or is this just your brainwashing by liberal media making you think this?

@Bo Bo Can you showe evidence of this or is this just your brainwashing by liberal media making you think this?

@Bo Bo If we restrict ourselves to one racial case in one country, sure. But if we're talking about discrimination of false accusations as a whole, it certainly doesn't stop at America or Black men- people get wrongly accused all the time, and even targeted groups aren't identical across all continents.

What's worse is the cops don't care if your innocent or guilty. In their eyes your guilty till proven innocent. If they even let you prove it...

@Zach Morgan we just went over this. People omit or include irrelevant details in conversations all the time. He said he didn't imply it, Stop assuming it. Should be the end of discussion. I wonder why it didn't end.

@Eos Dawn because he mentioned no one else other than black Canadians and Americans I'm inferring nothing.

@Eos Dawn because he mentioned no one else other than black Canadians and Americans I'm inferring nothing.

Y'all went lengths to paint a picture of things he never said but yet believe about him. Call him biased but can't pick out a quote where he stated something. Rather you jump to conclusions and sugar coat is as him implying something.

Indescribable dissapointment.

@Zach Morgan He didn't imply it, You implied it.  If he said he didn't imply it, You implied it. Stop arguing what he's implying. So leave it? What is the point of this? You guys twisted his words and painted a non existent picture. Ffs what is wrong with people.

same because i already feel horrible when people interrogate me and to be wrongfully convicted is like screaming and not being heard

same because i already feel horrible when people interrogate me and to be wrongfully convicted is like screaming and not being heard

@SirMichael same situation. Both had no evidence against them. Btw, you may want to really study the webster definition of racism, because you seam to be ignorant to the fact that your thought process is pretty racist.

Lastly, someone gave that guys name & accused him of that. The Canadian guy got off a bus and was pinned down by multiple cops even though the description sent out was a completely different race.

Peace & Love to all.

@SirMichael the problem you claim that exists, exists in such a small number, compared to other overlooked social groups, that empirically it is considered a statistical anomaly.  In fact, this behavior FACTUALLY happens more in non white countries.

@SirMichael well you never mentioned anyone other than black people also you seem to think all of time and history began with America.

@SirMichael well you never mentioned anyone other than black people also you seem to think all of time and history began with America.

@MirroRMonsteR lmao. I’m the world has turned its head guys. It’s just the way it is these days. Adios buddy. This is a never needing thing and problem that will never get fixed. Just is what it is.

@SirMichael what is your point? Other than the fact that you think you are good at straw man fallacies?

@SirMichael don't bother looking it up, here is the link for racism

@SirMichael good one? Other than my skin color, which is OBVIOUSLY not white or even creame,  how did you even come to the conclusion that I am white? Also, you alluded to the fact that me being "white" at least in part discredits my opinion and argument. Which in and of itself is racism. Need I link you to webster?

@SirMichael so you were implying that only blacks get falsely accused Jesus man just own up to your statement. It's right there we can all see it.

@SirMichael there was more than just a black guy in the video.

@MirroRMonsteR you said white people get shot more than black people out of nowhere. You starting comparing shit. I never did that.

You saw the innocence project and lost your shit it appears.

I’m sorry as a white male in America you feel that you are unevenly discriminated against more than another race. Must be a tough feeling.

You’re right though. About it all Dan. You got this one bud.

@SirMichael It's been happening everywhere in the world and it's not about race. Stop trying to desperately twist everything into racism, it's pathetic.

@SirMichael It's been happening everywhere in the world and it's not about race. Stop trying to desperately twist everything into racism, it's pathetic.

@Zach Morgan implying and stating are two different things.. Same goes for exclusively & specifically. The guy in the video is black. That’s where the base of the statement came from.

@SirMichael I think it is you that doesn't get the point here. The whole point is bias. I'll explain why you are biased, though I agree that you never said it is end all. And by the way, no, factual statistics about how whites are discriminated against more strongly in America than blacks is not even remotely close to saying I have a black friend. You are comparing astronauts to oranges there.

1. You presented only sources that agree with you as a way to validate your position on this thread. Bias.

2. You constantly use straw man arguments to validate your bias. Bias.

3. You trying to specifically use the "I have a black friend" trope to try and further a specific race oriented narrative to me as a way to validate your argument is also bias. Bias.

4. Your obvious confirmation bias is in and of itself, bias. Bias.

@SirMichael your comment mostly implied it.

@SirMichael your comment mostly implied it.

What point is trying to be proven at this point?? Lol. Because at this point Dan is arguing about a source I sited. Not the issue at hand lmao. Talking all that “white ppl get shot more than black ppl” shit is not what I’m here for. Once that energy gets displayed I know where it comes from. Same as “ah yeah my one black friend” energy. I’m not here for that shit bro.

Again, be well friend.

@MirroRMonsteR I used them as a point of reference. I never said that was the end all be all of information Dan. Nor did I start mentioning who gets shot more. Never said nothing about who gets arrested more, or none of that shit.

I just stated that that is a reality that they are used too.

@Zach Morgan but not exclusively. I highlighted. I NEVER said the shit didn’t happen to anyone else.

@Zach Morgan but not exclusively. I highlighted. I NEVER said the shit didn’t happen to anyone else.

@SirMichael you actually did say black people specifically

@SirMichael you actually did say black people specifically

And it's happened so much and the people who try to get wrongly convicted people out of prison where they should never been it's so hard to do they don't want to open up that can of worms with everything because of one person was caught messing up the system for people and everybody they've ever convicted they have a chance of having everyone overturned.

@SirMichael but you are obviously displaying bias as well considering you only cite sources that agree with you bearing in mind there are dozens of vastly more empirical sources to pull from that discredit you. It seams you forget almost everyone on earth has the ability to verify info in thier hands or pocket in 10 seconds.

I don’t have a dog in this fight, I just stated a reality. Good day ✌🏾. I just pray for a better world. I’m not here to shit on anybody’s reality. Feel what you feel & live how you live. Be well Dan Thompson.

@MirroRMonsteR here is the bias you were looking for.  @zstead

@SirMichael the innocence project? Are you serious? So your opinion is solely based on who a private origination   keeps a record of? Every government agency that tracks whites being shot unarmed and blacks being shot unarmed record that per capita, whites get wrongfully shot way more than blacks.

I never showed any bias about any comment I’ve made. I said a general statement highlighting certain things. I never discounted the fact this type of shit happens everyday & everywhere to anyone!

The call was for a short white male, yet this guy is a tall black male. I just stated that this is normal for men that look like him.

Everyone who replied to my comment turned it into something else. Good day.

It's definitely terrifying. I went through it. N I'm lucky it didn't turn out much worse. No record nothin wasn't even living in the state at the time I supposedly committed crimes. So many damn holes in the chicks story n was so absurd I duno why anyone believed anything. Nothing but evidence I did NOTHING. cops treated me like I was garbage n already decided I was guilty when anyone with half a fuckin brain would see it was complete lies

@Paul Richards You are thinking the $46K was the punishment.  No- that was the reward for losing 3 days of fear and lost time - but it comes out of police insurance paid by tax payers.  The punishment part was three officers that were demoted and suspended without pay.  That is the thing that will scare other officers into checking the facts before doing interrogations - and where could argue it was not enough.

@Paul Richards Some minorities need to be calmer in presence of police, because otherwise higher chance to get the shooty

@Chad M no. I stated I highlighted those things, purposely. Yet still coinciding with the statement he made. I didn’t skew shit. He responded to my statement initially.

again I said what I fucking said

@SirMichael So you admit to purposefully biasing your words to strew a false narrative?

@Paul Richards can you blame him? He's black in North America, im assuming random stops and accusations by the police aren't exactly unheard of for him or his family LMAO I mean shit, dispatch calling for a search for a white small guy so they grab a tall black guy instead, basically a dave chappelle skit in real life 💀 "suspect is a black male around 4'0 - 8'0 feet tall and 50-500lbs"

Also, go look up “the innocence project” statistics on this matter. Then get back to me.

Also, go look up “the innocence project” statistics on this matter. Then get back to me.

I said what I said. Both of our statements can be true because the statement you said doesn’t make what i said false. America & Canada is included in EVERYWHERE & Nor did i mention its exclusively black people. I just highlighted those things. Sorry not sorry.

@SirMichael You mean it’s been happening everywhere in the world since the beginning of time. I’m sure false accusations are not exclusive to America. Or Canada. And obviously not exclusive to black people.

Been happening in America since the beginning of time lmao even black Canadians get the same treatment.

Been happening in America since the beginning of time lmao even black Canadians get the same treatment.

the first guy was so calm...the robber was much shorter than him different clothes and to put the tin hat on it..was white....he got 46,000 but that's not enough

the first guy was so calm...the robber was much shorter than him different clothes and to put the tin hat on it..was white....he got 46,000 but that's not enough


Glad everything was right in the end usually it ends so much worse


poor dude knew that if he didn’t stay calm that they could use it against him cause of the color of his skin, props to him for staying calm no one should have to go through something like this just for the convince of the “justice system”


That is another perfect example of incompetence.  I’m sick of incompetent people everywhere, They seem to be at every job but it’s way worse with any government positions. It’s pathetic


This is terrifying. If Michael wasn’t so calm and collected, he could be in prison right now


Michael is the type of person who you'd want by your side in a crisis.

@dave h I mean wtf is he gonna do if the detective is a complete asshole or suck at his job. Better to stay calm and wether the storm, and let the truth do the talking. And then sue tf out of them

@dave h the fact that seeing someone with an actual brain handling a situation like this makes you go oh he grasps things slowly speaks volumes about you. Acting emotional in these kind of things is not grasping the situation its stuupid as fck.

@BLUE FIRE And that helps how? In an emergency you need to deal with the emergency, and not have to be distracted by someone having a tantrum. :)

Since I'm properably going full Justin in about 3 seconds, I'm not sure Michael would want me by his side :D

@BLUE FIREI agree, his calmness pissed me off.

@BLUE FIRE you allways need someone calm by yoir side.

@Michael Hardin But don't you see? Michael's negotiating skill would be your bodyguard.

@BLUE FIRE and you getting pissed off that someone doesn't feel the same way as Younis exactly why you'd be terrible in a crisis. Who has time to think about that shit.

Actually I want Michael to be my negotiator and Justin to be my bodyguard.

@Benajah Pierre Yes, he showed major restraint.

@dave h are you that demoted cop? michael did fine there.

Without a doubt, that is a smart and calm man, even if I was innocent I would have been a shaking mess realizing this guy was trying to ruin my life without giving me any chance at all. Here's to Michael wherever he is

By your side in a crisis, or by your side in a long-term marriage.

@dave h Lol what the hell are you even talking about? How does the conversation go straight to "he'd probably get you killed." LMAO.

I'd rather have the Hill-Billy. That Michal guy is so calm it made him seem brainless. There is a video he CANNOT be in and Michael practically hums his way to a cell, thanking the cop the whole way.

@dave h So, you would be the leader and he would be follower. Follower you don't need to do much convincing or efforts to calm down.

@Mariama-Lola Bah yeah at least he would protect you

@dave h He managed to get arrested without being shot after doing nothing wrong- I like that guy

@UCknlAvdQW3-eSMvKuoz7V5A yeah this !! , sometimes you just want people to feel the same things as you do especially when its an emergency , and when that doesn't happen it make you lose it even more and aggravate the situation to the worst .

Not true. You want someone who is calm and who can think critically.

@dave h He grasped the situation just fine it seems. The fact that he got a $46,000 payout and the investigators were suspended without pay proves even more that he was just screwed over by malpractice with no way out. Under pressure he was able to reason that the video was a bluff too. I think your point requires an explanation of what he should have done in that situation to prove to you that he was competent. Personally I think very few people would execute flawlessly in such an uncommon spot, and this was exemplary.

He is Pissed which is why his reasoning is so impressive

Looks maybe ex military. American accent and a british detective. A power cut and an okay let's go. Sounds interesting. They should make a movie starting with this and everything after. Michael with his 46k for 3 days in jail then wankstaln demoted divorced and deported working security night shifts at toilet paper factory finally robbing a jewelry store himself during a power cut (again) but trapped caught and banged up. The End

@dave h not sure what his plan would be here.

@BLUE FIRE Yeah I could see that, you'd probably be thinking "Why the fuck are you so calm, we're about to die!" or something like that.

@gtapanda 129 i don't know maybe yeah , i'm imagining how annoying and uncomfortable the situation will be , because i was involved into similaire thing

Meh, in a way, yes but I'm gonna say no. Yes he's calm facing a crisis, however he doesnt seem quick to fully grasp a situation and form a plan as well as seems very passive. Yeah, i'm gonna say he'd probably get you killed.

@BLUE FIRE But he would be able to logic his way out of the situation much easier than most people because he'd be more calm

no he will pissed you of because he is so calm , the contrast will be unbearable


Broke my heart hearin that other man terrified that they were gonna take his freedom….Horrible.


The reason why he reacts differently than a majority of people is because that man is wise.


Ooo
That ending is so sweet
Fuck those guys

I’m so glad Michael perused a civil case after this BS. I wouldn’t blame him if he didn’t want to.

He seems like such a gentle patient man. I like him. Good on him, hope his life has been going well and the $ gave him a leg up in life to get what he wants.


What happens to someone who waits in jail for years for a trial, unable to afford bail, only to be completely exonerated?  Are they compensated for this life stolen from them?


This serves as a reminder to everyone, innocent or guilty, the police are NOT your friend. Under any and all circumstances, get your lawyer.

The police are not obligated to help you during an emergency. They can if they so choose, but they aren't legally required.

@MrNecryptic I think you misunderstood, I was meaning they can help during an emergency, not during court.

@MrNecryptic I think you misunderstood, I was meaning they can help during an emergency, not during court.

@A Texan Kid Police are under no obligation to help you, as determined by the Supreme Court of the United States of America. Texas, as it stands, falls under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.

My point was sometimes shit happens, and based on the video they were penalised so justiced serve. If u think that not justice idk what do u want kill those police? And i was tryna say that not every police do those shit. Why so salty, i wasn't tryna defend the police who put the poor dud in jail i was commenting on the first comment saying every police is ur enemy, i mean thats a poor mindset, they also save people smh. (his comment was deleted so ye u have ur opinion about how government works but remember this aint some action/drama movie where everyone is bad)

I came back to a mess just full edgy kids tryna say they dont do mistakes smh there's no point of arguing ngl

I came back to a mess just full edgy kids tryna say they dont do mistakes smh there's no point of arguing ngl

Yes never let them in your life for whatever reason. Their mind is always catch and catch.

Yes never let them in your life for whatever reason. Their mind is always catch and catch.

@nope delete your comment already, you’re making excuses for the policeman and being totally ignorant of the fact that the police is trying to put an innocent man in jail

Well that's not true either, just  another radical opinion but on the other side of the spectrum. Police is always your friend and police is never your friend is a toxic thing to believe. Life's not that simple. But I do agree with getting a lawyer at any circumstances since you're getting involved with the law.

@nope You are absolutely insane. I should give the people who can destroy my life within an hour a chance? Are you serious? Tell that to every person who has been falsely charged, man I would sue the department, city and their mommas. They would pay for the rest of my life. i would plaster their names as liars everywhere I go.

@nope yeah i agree for some part, but as a formerly wrong convicted ones, i could said that the main comment is so much reasonable, yes they are just doing their job, some or few to be more accurate is to serve and protect the people, but most of them is to serve and to protect "their greed" or "their belly button". Also lawyer had bad side too, they had greed too, but at least, they are on your side.

before i am said my next statement, i am imply that i had no ill motive nor ill intention to anyone. Trust but with bare minimum trust that you give to them, always be on guard and alert at their demand, be caustious at every single word you speak with them, and ultimately if you are innocent, avoid any interaction with the police at all cost even if you are asked to their witness, especially if you lived in the developed country. I wish you and all of you who read the best, beware and be careful even with your own lawyer. Trust yourself fully, don't give your trust 100 percentage to the police even your lawyer. i hope the best and luck for all of you out there.

like he said, the fact of him being innocent or guilty wasn't relevant here, or even in question.<br>but properly so the officers were demoted and punished. Not disagreeing about getting a lawyer but they are punishing them so this isn't supposed to be ok, and he got 50k for 3 days in jail, its a pretty good deal. It is punishable so that's good at least. But yeah it is cops like this that make cops look bad for sure, and I think a big part of the problem is what he said about them getting promoted if they can get a confession without evidence... kinda feel like that promotes behaviour like this? But hey he wanted a quick promotion? He got demoted and sued instead. Proof that hard work pays off, there is no easy way.

@nope It’s not necessarily about how good cops are as people, it’s about how their job is to make it easy to convict people and innocent people can easily get screwed over. There’s a good video about this called “Don’t talk to the police”, it’s a presentation by a lawyer or law teacher or something like that.

For the record, I’m not anti-cop, but part of their job is to get you convicted and people need to be aware of how innocent people can be absolutely screwed over or the victims of misunderstanding.

@nope nah bro don’t even come with that bs put yourself in Michael Dixon shoes you’re being arrested for something you didn’t do the dispatch call doesn’t match you’re description at all but he throws that away for no reason while telling him he knows he did it when really Michael just got off the bus they’re not just not you’re friends they’re you’re enemy most of the time and it’s sad that that is true they want a confession and they’ll settle for any confession even if it’s an under pressure half confession that’s not even the truth it’s crazy how people can still be like “they’re just doing they’re jobs uhhhhhhh” meanwhile they’re ignoring procedure and not even reviewing the dispatch call bet if it happened to you you’d change your stance a little idc if they’re human so was the second guy in the video but he went to jail when he didn’t have to which should never happen I don’t care what he got rewarded with after they let him out what if he killed himself in prison the justice system has to be better

@nope What the hell are you talking about ? Of course you are supposed to be a pro at your job, you do know pro stands for professionnal right ? Do you know what professionnal means ? I mean, if you don't care about your job that's on you, but man your take on this is absolutely insane.

@Mutiny uhh... I'm sorry to say but that's not how law enforcement works, you don't get promoted on how many people you get imprisoned. it's not just a game, i myself are going into law, and if you seek a promotion then i can tell you, you are not getting one. if you want better pay than do your job the right way, if you do it by the book the right way that is how you are going to be set apart from the rest. Work to be the best not for the money.

Especially considering the man that you’re replying to is white, I can understand why he thinks they’re his friend. Missing and murdered indigenous women is a huge thing here and the police are NOT our friend. It’s all dependent on our individual lives and experiences with cops.

@nope no no no they didn’t “mess up” they literally heard the characteristics of the criminal and arrested the complete opposite.

@nope no no no they didn’t “mess up” they literally heard the characteristics of the criminal and arrested the complete opposite.

@Kaiden Crawford half the time I don’t even call them anymore where I’m from they don’t give a damn about us or our kids had a lady drive her truck through our kids playground in the middle out apartment complex because a drug deal gone wrong and she tried to run someone over that wasn’t even involved in the situation! Drove her truck across a busy highway behind stores where our secluded apartments were and damn near killed 20 kids and the man she was chasing broke her gas tank leaked diesel all through the park and apartment complex and the cops escorted her out like she was a damn queen !

@Ken M literally every cop in my town has came out to her apartment so to calls of her abusing her kids but yet not one cop has stepped in to help 🤔

@Reptiles and more yeah you cant judge an entire group of people on the actions of a single incident. Or else youd be a huge racist right now lol

@Ken M oh ya I’m the one who hates most police but not all I live in Oklahoma where I have called the cops on a woman physically beating her boyfriends kid In front of multiple people the cops yelled at the little boy yelling him that he’s her child and she’s the mother and he needs to listen to her SHE IS NOT HIS BIOLOGICAL MOTHER

@nope that’s a big fuck up for them to do tho falsely accusing

@Hypetreme same in Montana. the US is like 50 diff countries. i trust my local deputies, their kids play with mine. i know who their parents are and where they live. cities are the issue here tbh, they make bad faceless cops

Depends on the country, here in Finland police is your friend fortunately.

I love the police. They keep me safe and find the truth in crimes. But I get it, it's very populair to be overly sceptical of the police.

@Mutiny the 1st comment was spot on, you just had to come in and act like an 8th grader.

@Mutiny the 1st comment was spot on, you just had to come in and act like an 8th grader.

Police are bailiffs. A bailiff is a legal overseer, master whose sole job is to collects taxes from you & keep 'order' within their 'jurisdiction'/court/county/precinct & liberals wonder why are founding fathers wanted a militia instead of British Law within America🤔 We perish due to lack of Knowledge, how can we make our society better when we don't even recognize the levels of subjugation we are object to as property to Law that is not the law of THE MOST HIGH. If which comes from Abraham, Isaac & Jacob & their ELOHIM'S law. Maritime law is TMH's law not theirs. This Eon/Age is ending soon, choose your side. YESHUA/YAHAWASHI IS salvation & the only way to ABBA, SHALOM from the tribe of Reuben.⚜

Since this is in Canada ( the first case)the detective can ramble away after you have talked to a random lawyer probably on the phone for 15 min and been told to shut up. It's f*** up. It's so many cases, and they are usually guilty, but they have the right to sit there and wear you down. No perfect country, but once you say - I want a lawyer. It's over. Take Michael Rafferty's interrogation as an example. A disgusting case. They grilled him for 3-4 hours while he was requesting a lawyer and had talked to one. On that note. He deserved to be grilled and worn down. But this tactic for someone innocent is horrible. And the case of Rocky Rambo Wei Nam Kam ( yes, his parents actually named him that ) Guilty for double murder in Canada... He sat for 9 hours and pretty much said the whole time "I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY."

@Mutiny man your comments warm my heart. Well said! 🤟🏼

@Mutiny Youre right but not every Cop is a inhumane psychopath. A lot of them have actually good intentions and save Lifes. The problem is the system, not the humans that serve it.<br>Injustice happens to good Cops and injustice happens to good People. Life isnt fair. It never was and never will be but thats no reason to spread your anger on someone who don't deserve it

@nope oh yeah of course the detective that told the 6 foot tall brown man he is guilty and got him 3 days in jail after they said a short white man robbed a jewelry store is definitely really human and deserves to have another chance, of course buddy, its just a mess up, everyone can get confused when dispatch specifically says "short white" and hear tall brown

They can only be your friend when they are literally responding to a call you made to save your life.

@Mutiny Yeah, it's a yes but mostly a no as well ( because so many Indonesian don't really have the money to hire lawyers, that's just how expensive they are ) when it comes to Indonesia haha... ( The polices in here are worse than US's, they actually make US's polices look competent and decent in comparisson. ). You actually have better chance of not getting into a jail by bribing the polices, it's ironically as expensive ( or even less ) than lawyers but have bigger chance than lawyers. Heck you can even have a "hotel is" prison if you pay  those polices executives some nice money.

@aiai You're right alot of them are crap, but a lawyer is interested in your $$$ only. A Cop is interested  in seeing your goto prison. That's how they get promoted. So you'll always have a better chance (even if its small) with a lawyer than without one.


This shit should be illegal, and punishable by law.

This officer straight up lied and is willing to potentially ruin someone's life, just by making shit up. These people are paid to serve and protect, not dominate and control. Absolutely disgusting behaviour.

So in germany it actually is illegal to make up fake evidence in an interrogation

Yes I believe they should have all evidence they feel they have on the spot so if someone is innocent in question that they don't won't get locked up. <br>If they had video then they need to show the video right then and there to the accused. All evidence has to be revealed in the integrator room before court.

they aren't paid to serve and protect the working class. they are quite literally not legally obligated to do so.

Defunding is just a buzzword that's been fed to you
     Give the people some teeth& reform the system

Same in my country, also the police are very corrupt. After I reported a crime against me, they got paid by the criminals and would threaten me and my family for months, unless I tell them what they want to hear and for me to say I lied. They refused to accept evidence, would ignore that I wasn't even on the same continent during certain events and would try to catch me in an obvious lie(like "You have been sending threating letters to the other party", I was "Great, where are they, if you have them lets end this and go to court", the police "Look here, it is not like they can keep the letters, it would be better if you just confess for you and your family", I say "No, I'm not admitting some made up lies"... and the threats with physical harm started)

@Cole DiBiase! ok but if you watch interrogation from uk compared to usa and canada there is a huge difference

Whats worse is that, the charges get dropped but you lost time and money and its on your or your attorney to release the bond and have it made payable to you .. but no the scumbag attorney will not tell you that and pocket that money as well in the end you are just happy the kidnappers released you. Its a win win and the court and its robber barons win every time simply because we know no better.

It’s like they show the example for the accused to follow

It’s like they show the example for the accused to follow

No it should be legal , it’s to get a physiological response by subtle details in order to analyse whether they are innocent or not by playing it back , as u can see it doesn’t work on innocent people and does on guilty and we see this plenty of times

Police can legally lie to you and you cant do shit

@Xray Then they refuse to provide notes and the blue wall goes up. There was 3 cops involved in this fiasco and that reeks of conspiracy. I bet they are back at it in the hammer.

almost as if cops need a reform or something

Bro.. just shut up 😂 ...they “lie” to support a confession.  You’re only mad cuz you know from hindsight that this dude is innocent, but the detective does NOT know that 🤦🏽♂

@Randy Trashcan what do you mean 99.99% of innocent people are fine? 4% of just death row inmates have been exonerated since 1970 and those are just the ones we've found. I guarantee you that the number of innocent people in prison is a lot higher than 4% since death row cases have a higher level of scrutiny in court.

The police don’t legally have to serve or protect anyone. ACAB, the whole system needs to go.

@bobocpe No they really don't... in people with mental health issues who killed someone there's an emptiness you feel within them, they don't try to deal with the situation in a calm and collective manner and they certainly don't try a map of their journey and where they were, they'd flat out make up a story and even lie about where they were, this guy in the video you feel he genuinely means no harm to anyone and doesn't want the problems he just wants to go home...

I behave like that guy... Am i lying? Did i do something? no... it's just there's no need to yell, get defensive or combative in any way and the fact that Law Enforcement create a stereotype saying  you do... it shows the problems in a lot of things in our world and how you can't take that seriously when you know that's not true and just sounds stupid.

@Randy Trashcan yeah idk why ppl freaking out

@Yovani Calderon I never mentioned the 2 years guy at all. He got nothing.

@Yovani Calderon I never mentioned the 2 years guy at all. He got nothing.

On the other hand they catch serial killers, cold-blooded murderers and psychopaths, the latter behave much like the first guy, cause they are lacking any emotions. Not justyfing what this PM did, but most of them are hard working people trying to protect the society from criminals.

Sadly it wouldn't happen if people weren't put under so many "work targets" he was just clearly trying to get anyone to take the fall so he can say the case was done and dusted... they didn't even really know what the guy looked like, he was lazy. There probably was a robbery case but he couldn't be bothered to properly investigate, he should have gotten fired not demoted.

@DivideByZeromy point was that it's not an unusual thing for police to claim to have evidence they don't have. because a guilty person would show it physically at times, which makes it worth the effort. an innocent person can get angry at the false accusation but most.... would do what the first guy did remain calm in the knowledge that they can't have evidence from a non-existent crime hence... i will most likely be going home if i stay calm and co-operate and that's true with a reasonable cop. people are locked up for ridiculous things and yeah sometimes people are locked up for crimes they didn't commit but that is usually because of how they acted after or during the arrest. if you start throwing punches because you think fighting will show innocence or your just pissed.... that's more likely to happen. i've done time i know these stories... <br>and yeah at a time i hated police. then someone explained to me how without them.... the bottom would be chaos and would it would pretty much souly effect the people doing it hard. rich people will just hire security... live in gated communities.... what people don't seem to understand is that what they do and how they do it. is a necessary evil if you want protection for the weak. and that doesn't justify dirty cop's they should be hanged. but this tactic.. isn't only used by them it's a taught tactic for integration. and should be seen as an objective choice to try make something otherwise very hard to pick... pretty easy.

in my country it is illegal for the police to lie during interrogations etc. i dont think it is in the US

I believe lying to the suspect should stay legal, as it allow investigators to catch real criminals who don't immediatly ask for an attorney to spit out confessions, but lying about the fact that the suspect is irrefutably guilty shouldn't be legal, an investigator shouldn't have the right to affirm the judgment decision he believes in before an actual judge assign the suspect to be guilty or innocent in court

@Beyondo 46k for that if you are held for anytime like the dude 2 years you can’t get that shit back no amount of money can give you time back

@Randy Trashcan Baha you do realize that the rate of false convictions contradicts your "opinion statistic" of 99.99%

They serve and protect like they're supposed to, just not you. Pigs work for the ruling class, to serve their interests and protect their property against poor people.

@john Blake Not true, if you watch enough videos, when they have enough evidence to convict, they lie and pretend they don't have any to trip up suspects in a lie. If they don't have enough evidence, they lie and say they do. I think the key in general is to bluff and see how the person reacts, make sure they can't tell what the next move will be. But in this case the interrogator was being more than overly manipulative.

I do agree about this shit. This is the situation im afraid of. Here in phil a lot of people is falsely accused by something they didnt do. And they cant do anything but to accept what lies ahead

As much as I agree with you, they don't protect and serve, nor have they ever been requested to do so.

Its just a grey area, you are allowed to have a lawyer. The cop will likely stop lying once your lawyer is there because majority of the time the lawyer will call the cop out on their bluff, especially that video evidence, theyd ask to see it. If the accused asked to see it, they probably wouldnt let them at all costs if its a lie or not, but your lawyer would NEED to have that because it is evidence against you. Never talk to cops alone. Always lawyer up, the entire point of their questioning is to try and tie you up into something whether you did it or not. Theres a weird stereotype that if youre asking for a lawyer it means that youre 'admitting guilt'. Even if your completely innocent, dont try to 'talk your way out' because its not your job, but it is interrogators job to talk you into it.

The officers were punished, this didn’t go unrecognized

The Supreme Court has said they are allowed to lie during interviews to get a confession. However I wish they would be punished when they lie in paperwork and on the stand

Thank you! There is nothing fair or "just" about our "justice" system

People believe that a corrupt system, is made up by those in it, but no. When you really look at it, it's those who created the system, passing down thier biases, and other's just nodding their head and going along with it. Both the individual, and the system are to be accountable. No matter What the situation is

That's why ppl don't trust the police or the system

If the law really abided by "innocent until proven guilty" then county/regional jails would be barely operational and that won't be good for business


I'm a supporter of police but sketchy investigators & cops frustrate me immensely. There's a reason our laws include the presumption of innocence.
I was arrested in my younger years and charged with a felony, the whole thing was sketchy (questionning & all that) but I was lucky the cops were honest, in court they told the prosecution that I was not mirandized when I gave them certain info & combined with a bunch of other aspects it never even went to trial & I was acquitted.
All that to say there are good cops out there, almost all of them do that job to help their communities. The crooked and self serving lawmen out there need to be removed their positions of power however, because they will ruin someone's life unjustly to prop themselves up.


show's how stupid the cops can be in such sitations, which results in alot of cases going unsolved or wronged every year

simple procedure/drill that he's been doing for years, 1 slip is all it takes to doom someone innocent.


the ending made me happy. at least the cop was suspended without pay for what he done.


This would be very easily cleared up by checking the cctv on the bus he just got off and if it happened to not be working then a simple statement from the bus driver and his employers where he was just returning home from would have been sufficient.


Logical reasonable people with emotion control do exist, it's crazy that you think they are the crazy ones and are willing to jail them for it.


Never answer questions or participate in an interview NO MATTER WHAT. Even if you’re asked to be a witness, do not speak without consulting a lawyer first. Cops will twist what you say and make you a suspect.

Just because they’re cops doesn’t mean they’re not corrupt or not bad at their job.

In the US - “I invoke the 5th, 4th and all other constitutional rights, I don’t answer questions, get me a lawyer”.
