the conclusion of Michael's story with him getting 46k and the investigators getting demoted and suspended was so satisfying

While some of the responses here are a bit outrageous (execution? wtf), I think that the average person would agree that "demoted and suspended without pay" is the bare minimum that should be expected for holding someone for 3 days with less than zero evidence. I just wish these sorts of standards (or higher) were upheld everywhere.

Nah, jobs should have been lost. The fact that one cop insisted they were right even after the case, when literally they could have just READ the notes to conclude it's the wrong guy. I would understand wanting to investigate further, but REALLY?

@TURTLEB0MB and all the guilty people let out, we sure have a great "justice" system in the west.

too bad one of the officers actually got promoted later down the line

Officer Mann was promoted 3 years later and is adamant that Michael was the robber despite it obviously not being him

@TURTLEB0MB because people make stupid mistakes and we can't Truly know who's guilty or innocent. Like the narration stated "hindsight is 2020"

It's almost like we should accept that a suspension and demotion is an adequate price to pay for a) blatantly not doing your job and b) trying to fix up some innocent person to lose his liberty and everything that goes with that.  They should have been fired, arrested and charged themselves.

@David David a lot of people have went through far worse than what Michael went through and got no compensation in the end. I have no idea how it’s even possible it’s bs to say the least.

Ik I felt so frustrated when they interrogated him he deserved compensation for that dreadful experience


That’s what’s wrong with the system. Everyone’s searching for a confession and not the truth

@GreyException after reading my first comment again I do believe it doesn't make much sense. While writing the very first sentence I thought I could be told that a possible solution would be to lower their pay so that it's not a job people take for money, but after thinking it through, that question wouldn't make much sense either, or at least I feel like it wouldn't, so the whole of my first comment, minus the first sentence, is pointless.

To elaborate on said first sentence, a cop is ideally someone who does their best to enforce justice and see that those who break the law are put behind bars. However, a doctor is ideally someone who has the desire to improve or even save their patients' lives, they will try their best to help their patients and sometimes, when the situation calls for it, save their lives. And yet, there's many doctors who became doctors because of the pay. Now, I'm not saying a cop's pay is anywhere near as attractive as a doctor's, and neither am I saying that doctors who chose their job for the money will always do a bad job and won't care about their patients. What I'm saying is, that just like there are doctors whose main reason for choosing their job is money, there are also cops with the same reason. One obvious example is the first cop on this video. As the original uploader heavily implied, the reason he wanted to force the "suspect" to confess is because getting a confession with no evidence is a surefire way to get a promotion, which means more money.

Now, you could also argue that he was just racist, having a bad day, week, whatever, or just plain stupid, and I wouldn't be able to refute any of those claims as I personally do not know him.

@DiegoDaBonkinator I'm not understanding what point you were trying to establish though.

"The justice system is a profession after all. But if you didn't pay or pay enough to the people working as cops, investigators, etc, even those who want to see justice made and help make it happen would have a hard time doing so."

Basically you said, "if you didn't pay (which makes no sense to me, because who works for free?) or pay enough to the people working as _ then even people who are good, would have a hard time being good.

It's not that we made a mistake interpreting you, it's that you don't have a coherent or clear point to make. Based on what you initially said, that type of reasoning can be applied to any field and any position, from grocery stocker to, teachers, to senior home nurses. "I'm not getting paid enough for the work I'm doing, why bother being good". And if that's the case you're trying to make, well then just say that you want socialism?

@GreyException To talk about your actual reply though (because I believe I got carried away), I believe those that have jobs that directly influence people's safety on a high level (what I mean is jobs like cops, firemen, doctors though these don't really have to worry about money) should have a stable salary. I'm not aware of how much cops are paid on your country for example. And about exactly how much, I honestly don't know. I believe that whether they get paid too much or too little it would be a problem, but I don't really know what these amounts would be since it is very complicated. You could easily say "just give them enough money to survive", but that wouldn't be fair if it happened to most people, cops included, since it's a job that requires previous studies.

@GreyException alright, you seem to be making the same mistake as the first person who replied to me. I'm not saying they get paid little. I'm saying they get paid a salary, like any other job or profession, and they can get promoted to a better position, with a better salary, again like any othet job or profession. At the end of the day it's a job. Not all cops are going to be always looking for the truth and to enforce justice, some will just be looking to get paid. And if you took away said pay or diminished it, it wouldn't only get rid of those looking for money, those who genuinely wish to enforce justice would have a hard time doing so since they'd have to sustain themselves first. Meaning they'd either have to sacrifice their lifestyle to accomodate for a lower salary (which isn't very realistic), look for a 2nd job or simply quit being a cop.

Take for example firemen. Here in Spain they get paid a handsome amount (or so I've heard), but in my country of origin, Peru, they don't get paid at all. All firemen in Peru are volunteers that use 2nd hand gear, with burn marks and such. They don't get any compensation despite risking their lives, apart from their personal satisfaction (which doesn't feed them or their families).

@DiegoDaBonkinator How much pay is enough pay? Cause despite the legitimacy behind the excuse, this can be applied to any position. Sales clerks, restaurant staff, etc... it's not really a valid deference/justification.

Correction, everyone's looking for a promotion and looking to get it by stepping on the backs of people like this guy here.

Really makes you wonder about the amount of coerced confessions that have led to convictions and prison time. It's also a huge argument against capital punishment as a whole. Estimates say about 1% or 20k prisoners in the US are falsely convicted. 1% failure rate doesn't seem like much, but when people's lives are at stake it's a different story.

@Rip Kobe im not saying they get paid little, you clearly missed the entire point of my comment. What I'm saying is it's a job that pays, and thus it won't be fulfilled only by people who try to enforce justice.

The justice system is a profession after all. But if you didn't pay or pay enough to the people working as cops, investigators, etc, even those who want to see justice made and help make it happen would have a hard time doing so: investigations take time and I mean a lot of time, you're looking at no free time since you'd have to work another job to be able to sustain yourself and your family if you have one. Thus people become cops and whatnot because at the end of the day it's just another job there is.


I'm thinking the calm guy is keeping it cool because he's black and knows  he has prejudice bias against him. Which is really sad.


lol the british detective who got demoted was prolly an immigrant to canada & was set in his british police state ways..


City, county, state. Names of the cop and the police department.


"How are you gonna prove to me that you didn't do this?"<br>I don't gotta prove shit, you're the one who has to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that i did anything whatsoever.

"How are you gonna prove to me that you didn't do this?"
I don't gotta prove shit, you're the one who has to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that i did anything whatsoever.

@Alexander Erickson Your lack of proof says you're wrong. If you are correct you should be able to provide a conclusive argument to back up your statement. You provided none therefore I must assume you are living in fantasy world of your own creation.

@Alexander Erickson oh I see what you mean. Your saying it’s different in practice and it fails a lot. Ok I didn’t get that until now

@Alexander Erickson no, you need to, you are just telling us you have no way to prove it

@Alexander Erickson no, you need to, you are just telling us you have no way to prove it

@Alexander Erickson Prove it... show me the maxims of law that say the burden of proof lies with the accused. The only time you're right is when the ignorant hand over their rights and contract with the corrupt. Are you a cop? Your father? Or just ignorant?

@Mister No Nonsense I mean how people are so convinced that others are guilty, and places the burden of proving innocent on the alleged perpetrator, rather than treating them as innocent until guilty.

@Dunravin Im not wrong. Period, end of story.

@Dunravin Im not wrong. Period, end of story.

@I. K And i agree with you, but we got US boyscouts here claiming that our justice system is without flaw. People that have no knowledge or experience on the subject

@ReaprG I dont need to, current events and the last several decades have proven it.

@ReaprG I dont need to, current events and the last several decades have proven it.

@Perry I can also say that i an literally a hippo, does that mean its true? Come on, dude... maybe you have zero experience with the law as you make it seem, but you cant be so naive that you actually think thats how it works, can you?

@-- disaggree .  The penalty part of the law is not to only deal out justice but to set an example of deterrence (in a timely manner, lol. You know 20-30 years on death row).

@Jason Ablah or Who you know and how much $$$ you got.

@Florian D. This happened in Canada, which doesn't have the death penalty.

@mipspc Nope, it's the same in Canada as well. Are you American? It always seems to be Americans that assume basic human rights are somehow unique to their country.

@It's Because The death penalty actually costs more tax dollars and takes way more work than life in prison because of the amount of appeals.

@Alexander Erickson come onto my podcast

@Alexander Erickson come onto my podcast

Did you know how many police have falsified their own reports in these situations?

Did you know how many police have falsified their own reports in these situations?

@Artyom it's not what you know, it's what you can prove

@Artyom it's not what you know, it's what you can prove

@dustin fisher it is up to others unfortuntaely. if the police take you away today theres nothing you can do

It's hard to go that route when you're just snatched out of your everyday routine and don't want to sit in jail for days/weeks/months until then. I can't imagine how many more innocent ppl would be sentenced if they didn't profess their innocence.

@Italian Spiderman The problem with that is that you CAN be "proven" guilty FALSELY. It is literally why your right to remain silent and right to a lawyer is 100% recommended for every situation. Sure, when you see some of those popular channels about homicides and serial killers, you see that the ones asking for a lawyer are told by the police "are you sure you want to do that? That'll go on record" or shit along those lines to basically shit-test you into panicking or second-guessing yourself. In those cases, it's often that the police ALREADY have significant evidence, and are really just shitting on you to make sure you stumble easily into their traps.

Anyway, I digress, you must often plead the 5th and not say ANYTHING because, as the cops themselves say when they arrest you, "anything you say CAN and WILL be held against you in the court of law".

If the universe puts you in the wrong place and time, all you have to do is starting saying shit and say something COMPLETELY normal and even ACCIDENTAL, but it will incriminate you because it JUST might validate their potential evidence against you even if you are innocent.

It's hard to explain, but basically if you think you're being falsely accused, you MUST stay silent. It is not uncommon for people to say somethign completely innocent and have it held against them

@gixxxer1k the man was not arrested, he was held in prison for question and trial. If he was let out at Home, he could easily get away if he is guilty.

@Alexander Erickson that is completely true, or at least it is supposed to be.

@Alexander Erickson that is completely true, or at least it is supposed to be.

@Alexander Erickson That is literally a foundational principal of law in America. The idea that all are treated equally before law and that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. The writers of the founding documents believed it was better for a criminal to be set free than for an innocent person to be falsely accused and sent to prison. Evidence? Yeah ALL OF THE FOUNDING DOCUMENTS OF THIS COUNTRY. All the personal writings of the founders.

First thing he said to him was he was guilty and he didn't even need to ask him any questions.

@Artyom sometimes you don't find this justices when you need it so need to be aware of this

@Alexander Erickson don't ever become a lawyer

@Alexander Erickson don't ever become a lawyer

@Artyom exactly! Like how the fuck is police going to ask me for proof? Like what am I supposed to do record myself 24/7?

@KewlCrayon An accidental further investigation - unrelated to his case. The bad actors in Michael's case should have been fired at the very least, been given jail time at most.

@Alexander Erickson
The burden of proof lies with the claimant.
It is in the nature of things, that he who denies a fact is not bound to prove it.
The burden of proof lies upon him who affirms, not on him who denies.
The claimant is always bound to prove: the burden of proof lies on him.
Upon the one alleging, not upon him denying, rests the duty of proving.
Upon the plaintiff rests the proving – the burden of proof.
The necessity of proving lies with him who makes the charge.

Just a few maxims that prove you wrong...

@Mister No Nonsense Are you actually complaining thag people were spared by the justice system because there was no evidence for a crime? Do you want a police state?

If someone plants evidence leading to you then either your screwed or you have to prove that you are

@Mister No Nonsense Umm yeah that won't work. You think guilty people will just show up to their trial? Come on now.

With the case with Michael, he wasnt sentenced, he was detained pending further investigation, then exonerated his statement was examined and further investigated.

The thing with Justin is they had witnesses against him. Liars of course, but still witnesses who could place him at the scene.
Those two liars should've ended up serving twice the time he did.

@Mister No Nonsense Except you just showed how it is guilty until proven innocent in practice. You should not have the burden of proving your innocence. It should be completely on the police and prosecutors to prove you are guilty. No badgering, detaining, deals, lying, etc. Trust me I've had personal experiences with police willingly lying so they can close a case.

Yep. Guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

Yep. Guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

@Alexander Erickson depends on the country but at the very least in the uk and usa it is innocent until proven guilty, thats why the title of the vidio is what it is. Its meant to show cracks in the system

@Alexander Erickson why dont you prove that?

@Alexander Erickson why dont you prove that?

Burden of proof is on the party who makes the accusation, that's universal law.

Burden of proof is on the party who makes the accusation, that's universal law.

@Alexander Erickson under the US (and any anglo-saxxon style law system) , Kubomi is right. There are jail types that allow "storing" the person for a certain amount of time (mostly protective - the case of mentaly ill people, collusion jail - to prevent the suspect from influencing the witnesses and destroying/falsifying the evidence and "safeguarding" - dunno if thats the proper term but it literally is this case, suspect is detained until he/she has allibi/other evidence checked - the cases of previously sentenced people) , but you need a court order for that (and its problematic to get even during the felony investigations). The case of "safeguarding" jail is, that (according to my knowledge) it is not possible to be longer than 24 hours in normal cases - any prolongation is supervised by district attorney and should be awarded only if the case is of felony-type.

Tell that to the media witch hunters and half of congress.

@clad95150 how about the innocent guy in the same fucking video that didnt do anything that went to jail for 2 years?   how many more people you think go down the same road that the truth never comes out about?  open your eyes and think

@Artyom you’re dealing with humans that run that system. Granted more often than not the guilty party is the one caught, convicted, and sentenced but I’ll be goddamned if Id sit idle while I left my freedom up to others. There are just too many morons out there, some likely to be detectives, district attorneys, judges, etc..

fr imagine going up to someone random saying they murdered someone and telling them wheres the proof they didn’t like tf

@Artyom and yet shit like this still happens.   soooo

@Artyom and yet shit like this still happens.   soooo

@Italian Spiderman Especially since a lot of innocent people with overworked public defendants will rather take a deal and falsely admit their guilt because they are afraid of full blast sentence.

"innocent until proven guilty",it's just a saying,doesn't mean shit,if it does,then why innocent people end up in prison? It's more like "innocent until guilty enough I guess"

@Alexander Erickson I say you're wrong. Prove you are right then.

@Alexander Erickson I say you're wrong. Prove you are right then.

@Zachary Alexander Go ahead keep posting more naive spam that is only showing that you have zero experience or knowledge when it comes to the law.

@Alexander Erickson actually, yea it is. that’s the main thing about justice systems in civilized societies


Yo where is your “what pretending to be crazy looks like” video?


@Sumeet that's sucks!! They hot killed for reporting on the truth...

Sorry bud it's never happening. YouTube killed the channel.


Best part:
Interrogater: " we have a number of witnesses"
Michael: "great! 👍"
Interrogater: "one of whom had a video camera"
Michael: "perfect! 👍👍👍"

"Let's see the video then! We'll see right away if I look like your suspect!"<br>-Hmm no, but it's clearly you!

"Let's see the video then! We'll see right away if I look like your suspect!"
-Hmm no, but it's clearly you!

Joe He was incompetent, lazy, and still hoping for an easy win: getting a confession. He was trying to steamroller an innocent man. His incompetence and laziness showed right from the start when he said he wanted to get a sense of Michael, whether this was the first crime Michael had done or if he was a career criminal. Let me explain what this means: THE INVESTIGATOR STARTED THE INTERVIEW ADMITTING HE HADNT EVEN CHECKED IF MICHAEL HAD A CRIMINAL RECORD. (Sorry, I thought that merited all caps.) Then he said there were witnesses that had identified Michael but never mentioned a line up (or other method). This should be a tip off that 1) witnesses had not identified Michael, 2) the detective hadn’t spoken with any witnesses.

If the investigator had no evidence, but merely a strong suspicion, he should have released Michael. If evidence was discovered proving Michael’s guilt, they could rearrest him. It happens all the time (and should happen more often if all police acted as professionally as they should). You bring in your “person-of-interest” for questioning, as you’re investigating. If they don’t

@Joseph Papilson He tried to grill him into saying that he did it even if it wasn't true in the first place.

Its literally the best thing someone could tell you in that situation right?

@Ruined Sketchbook I wonder why he did that??

The fact the interrogator kept going after that moment knowing full well no guilty person would react so enthusiastically-

my fave part too - no guilty person has ever said that - should have maybe been a tip-off he wasnt lying lol


Absolutely insane… I was wrongfully detained on an assault charge, and was extremely terrified and frantic. I am so extremely impressed by this guy’s restraint. Every time I tried to reason and wasn’t believed my panic increased, this guy just kept his 100% cool.

I can't imagine going through that. I hope everything was promptly resolved for you.


These tapes should not exist because the only acceptable response to being mirandized is to ask for legal representation.


The fact the detective feels the need to keep reassuring him he's going to do his job and look into despite the fact he never challenges him is a huge giveaway for me too. Especially considering it contradicts his whole "there's no question of if your guilty we know you did it"

That interrogator was pathetic, glad to hear he got demoted after that miserable conduct.

In Australia, a young girl was abducted (Karmein Chan) The police and media called on the public to point the finger and nominate a suspect. 27'000 men were named (including myself) Of these 73 were charged with an offence (not connected to the case) 73 in 27'000 works out to 1 man charged per 370 men named.

@Poobs I think if we’re questioning the cop’s motives here, it’s more likely that the cop was just racist, straight up. Literally nothing was on the guy, but he was still convinced he was guilty, and I know a fair share of people who are convinced blank people are way more likely to do crime. Bias is a strong thing. Also, our criminal justice system, in general, doesn’t have a good track record when it comes to this stuff anyway lol.

I dated a guy who called the officer on his bluff about "I don't need to talk to you, I know you did it!"

My ex replied "Great, then you don't need me to say anything except I want a lawyer,"

They gave him all kinds of hell, but they couldn't pin anything on him because he didn't do it. He still gives those officers shit every chance he gets, and his new girlfriend does too.

@harizotoh7 sounds more like underthinking than overthinking.

@Poobs no doubt he was investigated, but probably turned up nothing. Maybe he was very careful in covering his tracks. Being a cop would give one an advantage in covering up their own crimes especially if said crimes were of a calculated nature.<br>Hopefully, the fact that he was demoted and suspended without pay got him to clean up his act, be it legally or professionally.

@Poobs Probably over thinking it. Cops picked up someone, and then the detective didn't even bother reviewing the evidence and then tried to pressure them into a confession to solve the case.

Yeah maybe investigators shouldn’t play that card unless they have enough reason to believe the suspect is guilty. This dude literally had no reason! Wtf was his problem

That language is meant to pressure people into confessing which makes prosecuting easier. They often know their case is weak, but will scare people into confessing. It also unfortunately has the effect o having people confess even if they're innocent because they think there is no hope left.


Michael would've honestly made a better detective than the one interviewing him.

@trashlord And then to talk about the importance of truth was truely horrendous. Should of been sacked rather then just suspended.

@Raging Zim He even called out the bluff, which needs guts when you've got an investigator in front of you

Νικόλαος Παπακωνσταντίνου

@Raging Zim braintrust? more like brainfarts

True. He told them to talk to a bus driver, check their video footage, and provided an alibi. The Hamilton police braintrust collectively took 3 more days to think of and do any of that.


Detective: “I gain nothing from this.”
Also Detective: Gains everything from this

Detective: “I gain nothing from this.”
Also Detective: *Gains everything from this*

@ihazdaforks yeah I just got to that part actually. My point still stands though. Guess I see why BLM is an international movement. Police are treated the same in every 1st world country

@Da rel posty_ Malone1082 Did you watch the video? It was Canada...

@David Perez demoted lmao. This is the problem we have in America. A cop can do whatever they want and still wake up with a job in the morning

@TIV67 Playz  No I believe in my own power but I appreciate your preaching brother

The only day he got was a couple unpaid vacation days

@Ali Coria He was demoted, without getting his pay. This is explained in last few seconds of the video

Props to Michael for being calm right there. If it was me I would have lost my cool and went "What? A cop that's trying to put someone in jail for a crime doesn't get anything from this? You're saying you gain nothing from doing your job, in your mind, successfully?"

@Megan Allen I am sure a lot of dirty cops can provide emotional support to him. 100% he thinks it was not his fault. Probably (mis)handled people like Michael dozens of times.

This detective is the biggest jerk ever. And I hope his whole entire family is ashamed of him. He should’ve been fired plain and simple.


Yo first the one with christmas with cliff, and now What pretending to be crazy looks like?? wtf where are the videos


he going to loose his job for someone else,s crime.


“It doesn’t matter if you did it or not, why did you do it?”

@HOLLEY ROCKS I'm guessing you have had bad interactions with police........

@ImFeelingKwerty it's more like asking "Do you know why you're gay?" To a straight person.

They just want to frame the first black person they see.

I love how detectives can lie, manipulate, and force their way to a false confession with nearly no repercussions

I hate that policeman to the core of my heart. I CANNOT BELIVE how incompetent he is

@malik gross this type of stuff usually happens anyways, the court system is fucked

Who's you? We're the only two in this room.

@dakoda it would of been throw out in court anyways

saying "if you did it or not, why did you do it?" would confuse the suspect, and they could accidentally admit something considering two different things contradict each other which would be confusing enough to trick a dumbass into admitting the crime they did

Its like asking somebody 'why do you wear your sisters underwear?' trying to get them to give an answer that implies admission of guilt


Well he might have been a little more freaked out like the other guy had it also been a murder charge. This is such a great channel btw

The other guy didn't have a murder charge


That interrogator tried to make himself sound like some skilled detective when in reality, he was extremely incompetent!  The dumbest cop I've ever seen!

That happens when you go in completely unprepared but have the authority to take someone's freedom away.


Is the detective in the first clip australian


Dixon is acting like someone who's never been in trouble and assumes that if they didn't do it, the police will figure it out. The other dude is acting like someone who's dealt with cops before.


Were there recent videos deleted. Hard to believe this one was the last one.

Via Twitter and YouTube JCS community channel, YouTube has flagged both videos for spreading "violence" and "sensitive events." Yes, YouTube is taking them down.

No they weren't deleted they were set private


caller: "small white man"<br>police: "ok tall black man"

caller: "small white man"
police: "ok tall black man"

@Matthew Garofolo I was just saying that the suspect would be the complete opposite of what the witness said if it were a girl

@Chris Monetti which is why we should occasionally purge the policing system of bad elements. Using extreme violence and brutality of course. Got to keep the pigs afraid and in line.

@Patrick Ross immediately bring race into it like a typical leftist.

@Patrick Ross who knows. If it was a white person u know damn well they r gonna hate on ever white cop now lol.

that's basically how the Zodiac Killer got away.

that's basically how the Zodiac Killer got away.

the moment JCS commented on it a big word did pop into my head "R A C I S I M" Canada isn't too far from the US after all lmao

ppl i said sad to say at the start of my first statement not because of personal reasons but fact that most cops who get into problems in the us are white . If it was asian spanish black i would say so same i said the truth above . How many colored and or asian cops do i see start or have any problems ... BASICALLY NONE .

@6Saturna Caprisun The narrative concern is significantly more likely and you know it

@Leitha I’m almost certain it’s happened before.

@Leitha I’m almost certain it’s happened before.

@Ronald Haney That’s not a police problem, that’s your brothers’ problem.

@Patrick Ross and you are no better than that cop, if that's even true.

Welcome to the American police system. Where the job is to fill up jails instead of actually punishing criminals

Fun fact - the time the Zodiac Killer was the closest to being caught, people had seen him shoot a car's driver in broad daylight in a populated area, and witnesses gave a decently detailed description, most notably that he was a white man. At some point down the line, though, dispatch decided to say the suspect was black, and some of the first cops to arrive at the scene remembered someone matching the actual description acting suspicious and ducking out of sight when he saw the cops, but they ignored him cuz they thought the perp was black

@Chris Monetti It's important to note that not only did the man receive $46K in punitive damages in civil court, but the 3 officers involved were demoted and suspended without pay.

@Chris Monetti  How is change supposed to happen if we sit around and give it a break?

@Change s at the end he said that the detective was demoted and suspended without pay

@Ronald Haney So you’re that brother eh?  Every family has one it seems.

@Change s he said all the officers were demoted and suspended without pay at the end lmao

And people say america is the only problem with racism 🤣 shits worldwide

@Shane Bolger don’t worry it’s not just white cops that are bad! they all are 💗

You obviously never heard of shapeshifters.

You obviously never heard of shapeshifters.

@Change s the investigators and officers involved were demoted and suspended without pay. He says it right the end.

@Ronald Haney all normal humans lie so considering cops are also homo sapiens, they should logically also lie.

@Shane Bolger its weird because the officers arrested a tall black man even though the caller specifically said a short white man, it's so obvious that they arrested that wrong person that any rational person would think that the cops did it on purpose.

@Shane Bolger More likely you don't hear about it because it's much rarer.

@Leitha honestly... Its probably happened. You just wont hear about it because that won't gain clicks nor push the narrative of white cops are bad

@Patrick Ross Whats race got to do with it???

@Patrick Ross Whats race got to do with it???

@Chris Monetti but surely.... if they want to bust somebody, they should actually go for actual SUSPECTS. not innocent people. sounds counter-intuitive.

I eat Cereal with Water and I pour the Water first

it's funny that it always goes this way. I can bet no cop ever heard "arrest tall black guy" and arrested a white guy instead lol

@Change s They said in the video they were onlt demoted and suspended without pay.

@Change s They said at the end of the video that interrogator and 3 other officers were demoted without pay after the accused was proven innocent beyond a doubt.

Made me mad just watching them ignore what evidence they had simply to try and boosts their own egos, they should have been fired.

cops are liars, you need to know that going in, they are trained in professional deception, I have two brothers retired PD and Sherrif, and I've personally seen this rodeo

geeeeeez i got 1000 likes i had no clue it would get this big

sad to say i can bet a white cop made that error

sad to say i can bet a white cop made that error

They don't care about that the way you think they do so give it a break. They just want to bust somebody, anybody, and if you polite nice dude like this guy it makes their evening that much more pleasant. Bigger the bust the bigger the boost but any bust will suffice.

That’s so frustrating I hope he was fired and sent to jail


What happened to "What pretending to be crazy looks like" video? It's private and not accessible anymore.

YouTube is taking those videos down. Check the community posts


The black guy is calm and forgiving to the officer obvious intent because he know that an un armed black man. To an officer is the same as a fully equipped special force ninja black black belt. ( something mystical & Dangerous)


“The truth is paramount” ...continues to do nothing but lie.

@Luke Magiera I could probably find that exact same scenario in the U.S. Police abusing their power isnt exclusive to any nation

@Father Datura copy paste that into your search bar

@Bingus McDrangus whts wrong with canada exactly?


ANALYZE AMBER HEARDS BEHAVIOR DURING THE TRIAL PLEASE


Michael is calm because he's black he knows what's fucking happening lmao


Not all police, but some are absolute  🐀 🐀 🐀 🐀


Damn america do be a social experiment and i wish american was a race so i could act superior


(SPOILER ALERT)

"The suspect was exonerated and awarded 46 000$, THe interrogating officer was demoted and suspended without pay" Love that they ended the video with this, that has got to be the most satisfying line ever to hear after watching the full video

@SpicyTee My argument is that the motivation is only minimally important, if relevant at all. Outcomes matter a lot more.

Yony, thanks for mentioning spoiler alert. I didn’t think you would change it. It wasn’t your mistake tho. It’s obv that comments would be related to video. Thanks and sorry. You’re good

@Ayden Sereda he would have received at minimum $100,000 for being falsely imprisoned for 2 years. The state pays you $140 per day falsely imprisoned once you get released. Not nearly enough for loosing 2 years of your life but he still got at least something.

@GeeWee not American its the person who the cop not their country LOL

Vox have a documentary about a black man falsely accused and put in jail for 23 years.

@Snake - ヘビ you misunderstand me:

Sure, it could have been the detective that was racist. However, that is not the real conflict I was discussing. The reality is that the PD clearly saw that they would be chastised by the public for the incompetence of their staff. They reacted by giving a compensation to the victim. I just thought that it was completely obnoxious, however, that the falsely accused man was given nothing after spending an undeserved 2 years in prison. Maybe this was racial, maybe it wasn’t. There could have been a different perspective of the story. It could’ve been that they hoped the public would simply forgive the detective’s utter incompetence. But make no mistake. I am not suggesting that there was “black privilege” in this case. This is just a consideration of the possibility that this was racially motivated.

Demotion and a suspension are waaaay less than they deserved. They had a description of a short white man and they arrest, ignore, and charge a tall black man. It doesn't take a Sherlock Holmes to not fuck that up. None of them should ever have "detective" in their job description again.

@GeeWee You say that without knowledge that other justice systems are just as corrupt; an example being Japan's justice system in that it's true that there is a very small amount of people they wrongly imprison, but the small amount who do will probably <b>never</b> get out because of their systems' general unwillingness to admit wrongdoing

@GeeWee You say that without knowledge that other justice systems are just as corrupt; an example being Japan's justice system in that it's true that there is a very small amount of people they wrongly imprison, but the small amount who do will probably *never* get out because of their systems' general unwillingness to admit wrongdoing

guys can you prove innocence by showing your video game history or like you're watching youtube at that time? or Facebook?

wondering what all the dislikes are about..

wondering what all the dislikes are about..

@Weed WRLD so u think there was nothing wrong that happened?

@Ayden Sereda he was a prior felon though who committed robbery, this guy was inocent

I'm glad... freaking hell I'm ashamed to have an officer like that in Canada.  No room for that bullshit.  It's one thing for a cop to play it heavy handed leading the suspect to believe that he has more than he does... but this guy is straight out just laying it on thick basically threatening the guy when he literally has no reason to believe that he did it.

@SpicyTee The real point is that it doesn't actually matter if it was because of racism or not; this type of behavior of falsely accusing innocent people should be punished and not rewarded.

Doesn't matter who does it or who it happens to, nor does it matter why it was done. It isn't a good thing.

@Rya J The comment on the jury are kinda unneeded tbh anyone can be fooled by the other components of the situation you mentioned regardless of race, age, or political party.

@Mysterio watch the video before reading comments instead.

Yeah right, it’s like listening to Jon Solo and hearing how they tortured the bad guys at the end in the OG stories

@Ayden Sereda well... this is undoubtedly because the department in question was afraid of being accused of racist intentions, so they informed the public of the penalty given to reprimand the investigators who fid this to him. They were looking for a promotion. They clearly did not care about the definitive innocence of the suspect. If i had to say so myself, they could have chosen Michael for the reason that they did not care about ruining his life. They were racist and he was black.

Sorry about rambling, and I know it might seem like I might be saying this just because it’s cool to be “woke”. However, this is really and truly just what I believe about the situation.

@Genoxe
You're free to believe whatever helps you sleep at night.
For your information: French police was put under heavy criticism by the UN and by the European Court for Human Rights.

Sadly in the vast majority of cases where people are falsely accused by officers, they end up having their lives ruined, lose huge amounts of time rotting in a jail cell and receive no compensation for it whatsoever, while the officers who unlawfully arrested them face no consequences of any form

@P W Police force gets gravels thrown at them and are disrespected in every kind of way possible but stay calm. For every case of police over reactiv there is much more cases of demonstrators injuring and disrespecting police and getting out of it with nothing.<br>A few days ago a woman threatened the police with an assault rifle for several minutes after she was "disarmed" peacefuly instead of shooting at her. You can say whatever you want but French Police is among the most respectful one you can find. Go "peacefuly" demonstrate in the US or in China and see what happens :)

In Canada you still know what decency means. Here in France, cops can severely injure peaceful demonstrators and get a medal for that.

Now imagine you have a prosecutor who covers up for bad cops and jury pool of richer upper class white old retirees that are Republicans and law and order folks. You are always guilty until you are proven innocent, which is long after you have rotted in prison.

@LurKing now I want someone else to tell me what happened? 😂

@Jagoda M and now this is even more confusing because his comments are gone lol

Why is it people feel the need  to repeat what has been played..is it because they think everyone are dumb arses like themselves?

@Jagoda M damn dude deleted his comments and his whole account 😂😂 ironiclly the only person "trying to stir up conflict" was him

Yeah it was satisfying because my blood was starting to boil over lol

@Noah Kniffin What @indiapale means is that @Julius Munguia is responding to the 1st comment of the original one, which is by @Ayden Sereda - 'Until u realize the guy who served 2 years got nothing', who is referring to the example given in the video about the ginger man who was professing his innocence in a louder, more passionate and 'extroverted' way, who according to the video was in prison for 2 years even though he was innocent and got nothing as retribution for his wrongful incarceration whereas the man who was the main focus of the video was kept in jail for a few days and got a lot of money. I'm not sure if that ginger man was in fact in the US but it sounded like it.<br>Hope I've cleared it up for you

100% agree! The thumbs up didn't cut it.

100% agree! The thumbs up didn't cut it.

@Josh Garner fired is pretty light , he should sit in the same damn cell the wrongfully imprisoned had to sit in for double the time , so he could maybe understand what putting someone behind bars actually does to them

Except for how demoting and being suspended without pay is getting off pretty light for going forward without evidence like that. They should have been fired.


I was looking for investigations on youtube, I couldn't find the channel, now here's only 14 comments, what's going on JCS


“Yeah sorry buddy, unfortunately I’m from down unda, and you’re facked mate. We don’t tolerate that breakin in biznass in Australia and I’m not allowin it’ere either.”


Candy sounds like she’s a reliable source of information.

@Man of Rice She also sleeps with married men and is corrupt af 😂😂🤣

@Spicy Valentina  I see him spouting a bunch of shit but I think he believes it

@Man of Rice   I am pretty sure Donald is the picture in the dictionary next to the word "Liar"

"Don't forget your bartenders" Is the last thing Candy hears before clocking out of work, Candy however, is not a bartender.

@Dill Bill oi i know two trinity's and they are pretty chill 😔

That's how women wrongly accuse innocent men.

@Man of Rice wow the sarcasm completely escaped you my dude

@Blunt Australian ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! WE HAVE SPOTTED A WILD CLOSETED RACIST!! ALERT!

@Dormant nope, Jesus is king and why not spread his word:)

@RyanSkweeks I hope that you're trolling because if not that just sounds like an obsession.

@Blunt Australian Jesus Christ is the only Jesus you should be worried about

@Blunt Australian donald is very reliable aswell

@RyanSkweeks Jesus  as the son of God is a myth.

@Dill Bill <br>You forgot the best one, Krystal - spelled with a "K".

@Dill Bill
You forgot the best one, Krystal - spelled with a "K".

The biggest idiot investigators ever, glad he only stayed in jail for like several days and got a payout for his innocence

When you see your name in all capital letters it means you are doing commercial law.   And in commercial law, everything stated is true unless evidence is given to its untruthfulness.   Meaning you ARE guilty until you rebut it with evidence that you are not.

@Blunt Australian idk about kamala because one specific person that really likes to lie

Candy, amethyst, trinity, amber, chastity, Mercedes. These are all trustworthy women.


<b>FUCK YOUTUBE  BRING BACK JCS VIDEOS</b>

Damn joe Rogan calm down it ain't that srs


And the police wonder why most people don’t like them…


Did the other videos just went off? I was watching one yesterday and wanted to continue it today and now its gone


The interrogation was basically:
 “We know you did it so just tell us.”

“TELL YOU WHAT?!?”

“If you did it.”

"how can I tell you something that I didn't do?"

Lucky he lives in a country where police interviews are recorded and everything can be checked.


is that all  46K ,  he should have been given more than this.  disgusting,  absolutely disgusting police work,  shame on them for doing this.


A quick look at the thumbnail, I thought it was seth rogen


Did they remove another video out of spite?


"Picked him out of a 12 person lineup..." I have personal experience that's completely meaningless, and possibly rigged by cops.  My mother was involved (witness) in a non violent bank robbery, and while doing a photo lineup, the police literally pointed at a specific picture, said "could it have been this one?"  Then when my mother said it was obviously possible for it to be any of the pictures since she didn't get a good look at the guy, the cops said "I'm going to put down that you said yes."

@Robert Campbell Okay, I’m good with you now too. 👍

@Robert Campbell Okay, I’m good with you now too. 👍

@Kyle Vernon Well we both know that isn't exactly what you said, and that certainly wasn't the amount of capitalization or punctuation you used.  Maybe that's how you remember it, but it's not accurate.  Still, I'm done with it so all good on my end.

@Robert Campbell Okay I know my original comment was somewhat “aggressive” on the sense of passion, but I didn’t call anyone names or anything. I wasn’t insulting. It wasn’t a Hot Take.

All I said is that “if your mother did the crime, then it would be an injustice if anyone else but her was picked in the lineup. Justice was served! Also, there’s no such thing as a non-violent robbery, the threat of violence is just as psychologically harmful”. So, assuming she was the actual criminal, then it wouldn’t be that bad. What’s bad is not reading the rest of your paragraph and I admitted that.

An equal response would be someone saying I got it wrong(ps - a lot of people got it wrong, at least 100 people liked the first comment in this thread)not people insulting me and some of them harassing me on my channel.

Also if I were to remember, any swear words I used were next to adjectives/verbs not next to people, because they were not insults they were emphasis.

@Kyle Vernon Hi Kyle, so a couple things.  One, You were given back the energy you put out.  When your initial comment was aggressive and insulting after you clearly didn't read the entire post, that was the energy you got back.  You continued in that vein, regardless of whether you were right or wrong in your points, being aggressive and insulting.  Two, I added the clarification after a couple more people brought up the possible confusion in a far more friendly and respectful manner, while they  acknowledged that simply reading beyond the first sentence would make it obvious what the post was referring to.  One even wondered if English might not be your first language.  That said, people shouldn't be following you to your channel to pile on.  So hopefully that stops.

@Oeilerspraann I didn’t realize I “fucked up”, people were harassing me that’s all. Unfortunately after deleting the comments, people felt more inclined to seek me out especially on my channel. So it’s better to keep the harassment contained to this thread than to spread to other places.

@Robert Campbell I deleted my comments because people kept coming to other parts of YouTube especially my account and harassing me. Now that I’ve deleted it, you people are still spread lies about me and they’re still harassing me. Not once did I call you dumb or anyone else a rude name.

I never “doubled down” that your mom was the suspect, I recognized my mistake. All I said that maybe you shouldn’t have worded it that way. The only doubling down I did was explaining to the other guy there was no such thing as a non violent robbery because a robbery requires the threat of violence which causes psychological harm. He didn’t even know the difference of Aggravated vs Armed Robbery. Not once did I say a Burglary was just a non violent robbery. You’re just trying to put words in my mouth. I said burglaries can become robberies simply by bringing a gun and having the threat of violence against someone. That’s literally true and you can look it up.

You’re going to harass me anyways so I’d rather it be here than you psychos going to my channel.

@Lucy You'll notice that there were no comments directed toward the first person in the thread who thought that, because they were generally friendly about it.  Kyle came in extremely rudely, calling names and talking about JUSTICE!!!!!  When it was explained afterwards, he doubled down on the whole thing rather than just move on.

@Lucy That's Kyle's fault for not reading the entire comment and talking about whatever story he made up on his own..

@Lucy That's Kyle's fault for not reading the entire comment and talking about whatever story he made up on his own..

Я4М_ИнтернетЕксплодер_ЕХЕ

@Lucy well we was only attacking Kyle because he came back with a hostile comment about his mom being the suspect and called him dumb and etc., and then topped off his comment with calling a non violent robbery a “burglary”, we was just giving him back the same energy

Я4М_ИнтернетЕксплодер_ЕХЕ

'Involved' in a bank robbery is vague and if you primed the reader with 'picked him out of a 12 person lineup.' the first thought would be that she was part of the line up. Not to mention the video focuses on alleged criminals.

You do bring up that she was doing the picking at the end, so if we read the entire thing we'll know she was the witness. But it wasn't the most straightforward writing ever and I can understand if someone was skimming or a non native speaker they would be confused. This comment thread needs to calm down.

@Tractor Tim He was also really combative and aggressive about it too.  Like, "Do the CRIME, do the TIME!!  JUSTICE!!!!!!"

@Tractor Tim He was also really combative and aggressive about it too.  Like, "Do the CRIME, do the TIME!!  JUSTICE!!!!!!"

@3AM Anxiety Kyle basically said the main commenters mom was the bank robber😂 then continued to say it was a burglary because it was a “non violent robbery” and supposedly “having a weapon would instantly make it a robbery”😂😂

@TL Doctor looks like you still got my point tho 🤷🏻♂

@TL Doctor looks like you still got my point tho 🤷🏻♂

Darn 16 hours late to the party. Kyle already deleted his comment so now I have to assume he said something incredibly stupid yet amusing

@Robert Campbell hey hey maybe they read it wrong don’t worry sometimes we are sleepy and read comments wrong they probably meant well

They just want to get further with the case within a small time frame and that’s so scary honestly especially if you have the ‘stereotypical looks of a bad guy’

@Tractor Tim worser has never been a word

@Tractor Tim worser has never been a word

@Micheal Cherrington srry i have no idea wat this guy said bekuz his comment wad deleted. Wat happened exactly?

I really wanna know what happened here but I can tell by the fact that this Kyle Vernon guy deleted all his messages that he realized he fucked up. Good job guys

I know I could never identify someone from a police lineup because I don’t look at people close enough.

I know I could never identify someone from a police lineup because I don’t look at people close enough.

The worst part is he still tried to defend himself even though he was clearly wrong

The worst part is he still tried to defend himself even though he was clearly wrong

@Kyle Vernon Saying that pointing at the photo doesn't matter. Especially given that the person's mother didn't say "Yes it was that person," but said, "Well, I didn't get a good look. So I can't rule that person out. I agree Dunning-Kruger is not involved here. But your first point makes absolutely no sense.

@Robert Campbell I can't believe this person is trying to act like you were at fault. They clearly did not read beyond the first sentence because there is a 0% chance they could mistake her for anything other than a witness after the first sentence. Regardless of any confusion the first sentence may initially cause.

@Kyle Vernon imagine being this stubborn. you could literally just have ignored it after everyone rightfully bashed you lmao, but you just had to come back and embarrass yourself more

Please don't reply to this, didn't see 80 other people had it covered, comments were loading slowly, don't wanna talk to you

Please don't reply to this, didn't see 80 other people had it covered, comments were loading slowly, don't wanna talk to you

I will never trust police anymore. Geezuz

In psychology class we watched a video of a mock bank robbery and had to pick the robber out of a line-up. Barely anyone picked the right guy. Line-ups aren’t very useful.

@Kyle Vernon a burglary can not b a robbery they are 2 different things

@Kyle Vernon a burglary can not b a robbery they are 2 different things

So yes, it could have possibly been him..

So yes, it could have possibly been him..

@Kyle Vernon when you are burglarizing you get charged with burglary, having a weapon does 100% effect the case i know from experience i’m a convicted felon i’ve been charged with aggravated burglary, if a gun is not involved it makes it a burglary which is not a felony or near as bad, having a weapon makes it aggravated which very much does matter in court

@Kyle Vernon so back to your original comment, how does not having a weapon make a robbery a burglary? and having a weapon somehow instantly makes a burglary a robbery?

@Tractor Tim no way professor how did you figure out that all of these forms of stealing are different?

@Tractor Tim no way professor how did you figure out that all of these forms of stealing are different?

@Tractor Tim Oh no aggravated robbery help

@Tractor Tim Oh no aggravated robbery help

@Blama no a theft is a whole different charge😂, just like a burglary😂, a robbery, a theft, a burglary, and trespassing, are all completely DIFFERENT things

@Robert Campbell so it was a theft??? damn u shouldve just said she was a witness in a bank theft

@Robert Campbell so it was a theft??? damn u shouldve just said she was a witness in a bank theft

@Kyle Vernon i’m just blown away at the fact that you think having a weapon makes it a robbery, it doesn’t at all, having a weapon makes it aggravated/armed

@Kyle Vernon my definitions are exactly the same just worded differently you should go read over them again

@Kyle Vernon my definitions are exactly the same just worded differently you should go read over them again

@Kyle Vernon I don't support the BLM movement. While I agree with the basic principal of it, the riots caused a great deal of harm to people who had done no harm themselves.

I also feel that singling out a particular ethnicity as the victims of police misconduct is counter-producive to the real issue.

My point was, that police officers do shoot unarmed individuals, and individuals who are not behaving threateningly towards them, more often than is acceptable.

How do people not realise robert meant she was the victim not the robber.

How do people not realise robert meant she was the victim not the robber.

@Kyle Vernon i guess another way to put it would be- robbing someone is stripping them of their possessions, or in the case of a bank robbing the teller, burglary is entering somewhere and taking something, you’re not robbing anyone, you’re burglarizing their property

@Kyle Vernon just like that dude robbed the bank, he didn’t burglarize it, and because he wasn’t using a weapon it’s not armed robbery, it’s just a robbery, the weapon would just make it armed which is much worse

@Kyle Vernon when you punch someone in the face you get charged with assault right? if you swing a baseball hat over their head it makes it aggravated assault because you were using a weapon, which is a felony and much worse than assault

I was in an incident many many moons ago, before the 'makeshift' line up was due my solicitor asked me if i had a lucky number, i told what my number was. Months later in the 'makeshift' lineup in the police station, There was about 8-10 of us ,but it just didnt feel right in there. Cops were asking if everything was ok, i said no summins not right and the lad next to me said there  was a weak spot-light pointing straight at me. I said to the Police about it and asked em to move it off me they said they couldn't it was fixed or summin along those line. the lad next to me pulled up a desk/table jumped up on it, pulled his sleeve over his hand and hit it out of the way. The lad who was supposed to pick me out didn't have a fucking clue. <br>Don't fucking trust your solicitor who is supposed to be on your side. Months later it got threw out of court , lack of evidence.

@Kyle Vernon well actually a burglary is when you enter somewhere without permission and commit a felony, and a robbery is when you take something from someone forcefully or by threat like the bank ROBBER used, when a weapon is involved it’s called armed robbery, a weapon has nothing to do with it being a burglary or robbery, a weapon would make it aggravated/armed which makes it a worser charge

no need to argue in the replies of a comment on a 7 month old video

no need to argue in the replies of a comment on a 7 month old video

@Kyle Vernon In reference to the topic, your passions were inflamed. The delivery of justice, as it were. You were too eager, I'm not lamenting justice, but your product in having attempted to serve it. You were wrong about a tiny detail, and that's all it took to make great words for good causes a terrible misstep. It's funny, really. I just wish irony weren't so strange all the time.

@Kyle Vernon Just a side note, "projection" comment aside, recognize how aggressively you approached this and lashed without even taking the time to actually review what brought that level of passion up. You may have some things to look over, this wasn't appropriately handled at any stage.

@Kyle Vernon 1.) look up psychological priming. You have issues with that. 2.)Then look up Dunning Kruger effect. You're on the wrong end of it. And lastly the reason you won't actually do either and learn from it is read 1 and 2.

@Kyle Vernon She was involved because she wasn't really a witness either.  She didn't even know the bank was robbed until after it was over.  She didn't even know who robbed the bank until the cops told her it was the man like 1 or 2 spots ahead of her.  I wouldn't really even call that a witness.

I cant tell if you're serious lmao, The dudes mother was a witness not a suspect.

I cant tell if you're serious lmao, The dudes mother was a witness not a suspect.


What a really bad detective. He makes me ashamed to be British


I went through exactly what these guys did. I was arrested and charged with a crime I absolutely did not commit and the cops claimed to have me on video committing the crime. I was taken to the county jail even though I professed my innocence over and over and was. Then after two days in  they came and let me out and told me the charges had been dropped. I never got a lawyer after but now I think I should have sued them!

Why did you talk with them without a lawyer?

were you never ready your miranda rights?

@Bombei me, who did not ask but is happy to learn this information

@Nex actually yes, yes it did take me 11 days

@Bombei did it really take you 11 days to come up with that

@Nex my point is that you should give up

Every comment against me boosts my confidence

@Bombei me trying to find who asked that people need to ask for things👀

@Nex coming from someone with that profile picture????

@Bombei damn trying to cut someone with all that edge?

@Bombei Me trying to find who even needed you to ask👀

@Bombei people don’t have to be asked in order to share an a anecdote

@Bombei this is a comment on the topic of the video, dude 👀


Never speak to the police right after your arrest. This should be broadcasted at the end of every episode. Demand a lawyer, plead the fifth. Doesn't matter if your %1000 innocent.

Not the 5th (US at least). U plead the 6th… to have a lawyer present for any and all questions. The 5th merely invokes your right to remain silent. And sometimes that can be brought up in front of a jury by prosecutors because a lot of idiots have the mentality of “if u are innocent, u would answer questions”. The beauty of claiming your 6th Amendment right is no prosecutor can claim to a jury u didn’t want to answer questions. All u said was u wanted a lawyer present for any questions.

@Steve Burke if it's more than 5 dollars, it's not a possibility

@Steve Burke but that would be useful, which is the exact opposite of the point of schools


One of my biggest fears is being accused of a crime, or going to prison/ being taken against my own will. This must have been terrifying.

Silence is absolutely golden. If you have the willpower and fortitude to power through every nasty thing they throw at you with "I would like a lawyer", the burden of proof lies on them and them alone.


I feel he should’ve gotten more than $46,000 and I also feel those involved in the case should have been fired. Either way, glad he was paid and there was disciplinary action taken.

@Rocco Don't forget its not just $46,000 profit. The lawyer he used to win the civil case would get a major chunk out of that $46,000 for their work.

I think $46,000 is reasonable for a week in a cell. I mean, I know I'd be down for that, that's a lot of money lmao<br>Then again, a week of not knowing whether or not you're gonna be wrongfully imprisoned is a bit different

Im sure being demoted for those power hungry pricks hurts a lot.


"I have a duty, the truth is paramount "  as he spews bullshit in every word.  What a solid guy


Getting caught up in the justice system by lazy or incompetent police work is one of the scariest things that can happen to you.


Never, ever,  under any circumstances,  ever speak to the cops without a lawyer. NEVER!


Incredible composure of that man, up against a lying and completely inadequate interrogator. That false video claim was the work of an idiot. The failed logic, to someone who knew he was innocent, meant he knew from that point he was being handled by an idiot. <br>The compo' he received was also far short of what he should have received.

One thing that makes my blood boil is injustice. This also includes a miscarriage of justice. I've just reached the 2nd video regarding Justin, and this man better not be jailed for 2 years or I'm going to throw something! It just makes me that angry.

"The interrogating officer and three other investigators were all demoted and suspended without pay." Damn phucking right, but they should be fired and charged for something.


I can't help but admire the calmness and politeness of Michael. He is even thinking about the consequences of not showing up at work the following day.

I get more nervous in way more trivial situations and he keeps his composure in such a nerve wrecking moment.


I think what's really interesting is, for me, it makes intuitive sense for guilty parties to be hostile and innocent parties to be co-operative. Guilty parties don't want to be found guilty, so would perhaps resort to intimidation and feigned moral outrage to attempt to defend themselves, and innocent parties might think "hey, I'll just co-operate, I'm sure the police will find me innocent, let's not antagonise them so I don't in fact look guilty."

It's interesting that the opposite is true. Innocent parties are not concerned with what the cops will think of them in the first place. On account of them being innocent, they may not really know why the police are interested in talking to them - maybe it's something routine, maybe it's some sort of mistake, whatever. When suddenly confronted with the possibility of years in prison, rationality and temperament may (entirely justifiably) go right out of the window., and how the officers might perceive them isn't something that enters their thought process. They're too busy digesting that sharp shock to the system.

The guilty already know why they are in the interrogation room to begin with, so the cogs start turning. "How do I make myself look like a good, honest, God-fearing citizen? How do I make them believe I'm a nice person who'd never do such a thing?" So they concoct a story. They present a facade.

Justice can be so wonderfull. Deep respect for the victem in this case for being so patient


Couldn’t they have saved a whole lot of time and saved this poor innocent man from having to go through the process of being questioned for two hours had the police just asked the bus driver or someone else on the bus to verify he was on the bus while the jewellery store was being robbed?


So surreal watching this cause I went through almost the EXACT same thing. A vehicle was set on fire and I was arrested jailed and interrogated for 3 days. It wasnt until half way through day two before I even knew what it was I appearently did. Either way, I reacted almost IDENTICALLY to him, but boy was it ever scary


Anyone that would bully their way to a conviction of an innocent person is a soulless ghoul.


So good to hear about the demotion. As punishment for lying, they should be put in jail. Let's find who this investigator is and make his life a living hell.


The problem with the words “Guilty until proven innocent” is that there is a lot of innocent men in Prison that were given a very unfair and bias trial.


If I ever abducted an innocent person and held them against their will for 3 days, I'd get a lot more than a demotion


How exactly was the police department intending to prove the case against him? Did he eat the jewelry! ...probably the most ridiculous circumstantial evidence laden case. And yet there is a judge out there who would have been happy to convict.


Beautiful ending. Michael’s behaviour was exceptional 👏🏼


Damn Justin has some straight up PTSD from his first three years.


Michael was described just like me and he reacts precisely how I'd probably act in the situation if I were caught off guard with an arrest like he was.


R.I.P. JCS you will forever be the king of true crime.

Until your return…farewell.


I am glad to live in germany for reasons like that.

A Officer cant get you to a confession with Things like „we got DNA proofs, of camera footage“ when they have nothing.

And if an officer would still do it and you confess, this confession does Not count as an proof bc its illegal


"This detective has either forgotten standard procedure or FOR SOME REASON has decided to reject it all together"... gosh and golly, i wonder what reason that could be!


The climax of this video is a massive release. I can't be the only one who felt that. Knowing the dude is innocent, and that cop making shit up to try and get him to confess, then hearing the aftermath. I've had HJ's that weren't that good.


I’ll never understand why suspects agree to voluntarily talk innocent or not. After you’re told you can leave anytime they should always vehemently  deny deny deny, and proceed to walk out.  This thought process of if I show up and agree to talk will make me seem innocent is horseshit.


I'm a total "law and order, pro police" kinda guy.... BUT..... When cops do this kind of crap, they really should be fired.  They have no business being cops.


What a calm and collected gentleman, didnt for once get belligerent, well deserves that money and those lying pos  investigators should of been fired immediately


Those interogators deserve prison sentences


I was confronted by police on my parents front porch at the age of 16. They told me they knew it was me because they had a witness that saw me go in the direction of the crime on the date of the crime. I realised it was my 14 yo neighbor because he had stole my Offspring cassette  tape. And my dad told the police that  he found him in our house when he arrived home one day. They ran off to his house.


$46.000 out of taxpayers pocket 😒
That POS dirty cop should have to pay it from his OWN savings!
Bet he would have done a better, honest job going forward.


Lmao it is always SO funny to me your ending of just “the officers were demoted and suspended without pay” <b>video ends</b> like it’s just like YEAH BUDS YOU FUCKED UP

Lmao it is always SO funny to me your ending of just “the officers were demoted and suspended without pay” *video ends* like it’s just like YEAH BUDS YOU FUCKED UP


A lady here in the U.S. was just awarded $2M for being wrongly hassled by Walmart for allegedly shoplifting $40 worth of groceries. This guy gets worked over by the cops for three days and gets only $46k? 😤


Please tell me this “detective” is now unemployed in any field related to investigations and law.


If a person is wrongfully in prisoner, everyone, from the interrogators to the arresting officers, should lose their jobs and be jailed for the same amount of time.


Whew, thank you for the happy ending, that was terrifying.


aww man, the best part of this entire video is when the detective got what he deserved!!! :))


Remember, if you are EVER brought in by the police, get a lawyer. Say NOTHING! You don’t know if your the suspect. You don’t know if you’ll make one stupid mistake. You don’t know if the officer will lie that you said something else. The officer can use your demeanor while communicating against. Officers don’t serve, they arrest. Plead the fifth, get a lawyer. If they are serious or have anything against you, you just saved your life a jail sentence. If they aren’t, they’ll leave you be. You can only win by not talking.


Imagine how much he pissed the investigator off when he was like hey man .. are you bluffing.. cause like.. if you have me on camera why tf are we still sitting here lolz😂


Atleast michael's story had a good turn i believe compensation should be even more for a traumatic experience of facing years in jail over a crime you didnt commit.


pretty frustrating, glad he got compensated


i feel like no one is talking about how differently this is handled with a white man and a black man. a black man is taught how to act around police whereas white men have the privilege to act however they please

that's why the white man ended in jail, isn't it? Doesn't make sense at all.

Exactly. A black man can't dare get angry in defence of himself, because it'll be taken as aggression. With potentially lethal consequences.


coming from someone who lives in the city the Hamilton police are INCOMPETENT. And will try and openly accuse people for the stupidest of things (tried accusing me of theft for returning lost passports to the police station) thats some pretty pathetic low levels of fishing so was pretty interesting seeing them mentioned in this video.. and the fact the incident was from almost 20 years ago so shows nothing has changed


The British investigator is an absolute disgrace. He needs huge amounts of training to even be a beat cop.

I don't understand why a British investigator is working in Canada lol weird


Does anyone else feel like they’re ready to be interviewed after binging these videos


I am glad the investigators got what they deserved, they were bent on falsely locking up the innocent guy.


"demoted and suspended without pay." one of the satisfying most cop retributions ever ;)


Michael is so calm, because he still is not aware how these things work :)


The cops wrongfully imprisoned me in Alaska, stripped me naked, and let everyone look at me. One of the prisoners there, felt bad and covered my nakedness. He was thrown the floor to teach the others a lesson. The cops are InCharge and no one else. What can I do about the humiliation they put me through? I proved my innocents, and I now hurt, mind and body. I have arthritis in the joints I slept on naked on the concrete floor.


I was accused of breaking my ex's car window and they kept claiming it was on video. I just kept asking to see the video. Guess what was never produced?


wow, im so happy to hear the end result!  100p justice


Literally how America, the land of the free, operates. No benefit of the doubt when people have beliefs they learned as children.


What is the criteria to become a cop anyways? A "C" average and a little man complex that you're going to symbolically stick it to everyone that belittled you in high school because you deliberately sought a job to be in a power position  with very little accountability? I'm Canadian and I'd like to imagine it's better here but it seems it's not at all.


The police system is a big joke 💀. Innocent until proven guilty, but they say his innocence is out of discussion with 0 evidence


Any false detainment or imprisonment should be compensated dearly and neglegent investigators fired, fined, and/or imprisoned


HOLY ****, the perpetrators were demoted and suspended without pay?  That could never happen in the US.  How do you do it?  What is it about your system that makes it possible for there to be limits to omertà?  Here, it's unimaginable that any cop would ever do anything that could contribute to another cop getting punished for official malfeasance.


When the detective says they have evidence against you call there bluff because I'm sure they don't.


I have more concern for inocent people going to jail than criminal charged  less than what they suppose to be.


Big ups to Bruce Rivers.. he brought me to JCS


it's true, they don't know how we act, they get things wrong sometimes, they try to pull bluffs


He was emotionally terrorized and all he got was 46,000, at least he should’ve gotten to punch that cop.


That's how it's always been in the US "Guilty until proven innocent".


Getting a confession without evidence = promotion. Want to succeed? Simply circumvent the concept of Justice. Why has this practice not been deincentivized?


Get representation at all times when talking to the fuzz. Protect ya Neck


Four nights, didn't do it, charges dropped. I've never trusted them since.


Should have been way more that $43,000 dollars. Glad the detectives got demoted.


It angers people when they are accused of something they didn't do. I know.


I hope the 46k even covered the cost of his lawyers in the civil trial.


1st guy: Yeah no I didn't do it, so I can not answer that question.<br>2nd guy: I WAS NOT THERE, CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND?

1st guy: Yeah no I didn't do it, so I can not answer that question.
2nd guy: I WAS NOT THERE, CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND?


Tunnel vision will get you killed in some occupations. Thank goodness those detectives aren't airline pilots.


Nice to see Canada punishes their police for not doing their job. These are peoples’ lives.


The officers should've been, at the very least, fired and never get any job working with the public or jailed.


So glad he sued and got money and they all got demoted and suspended


$46k for missing a day of work? Not too shabby


Hey everyone - did for  some of you recent uploaded videos of this channel disappear?
This one is the latest now for me ..
There was the "Christmas with Cliff" video for example.. thats gone too 🤔


They did a nut job on the first guy. Poor man, but at least he got paid a lot for what he had to go through


I’m not sure if I’d be able to keep myself together after all the gaslighting. Far too often in past relationships the men i dated made me feel like had gone crazy, saying I did stuff I never did nor say, tell me that everyone agrees with him, all that crap. I literally break down every time thinking that I’ve lost my mind and did horrible things and that what I’m thinking isn’t ever true

I see, I am going to stop replying now because to be honest I am not adding anything helpful in this thread whatsoever and probably wasting time for both of you to be honest. I am in no way in shape or form of being qualified enough to chat about this subject other than just say the things I have already said. Sorry for wasting time and I hope you 2 have a great life onwards

@billy bob YES! My ex went around saying that I was crazy and cheated on him then was spreading rumors that I would hit him! They do literally everything in their power to have control over you. I don’t let them anymore, I showed all the proof that I was innocent and then let the words roll off my shoulders

@Saif Ullah Khan I want to try to, I’m a 20 year old girl, and one of my exes would do “it” to me while I was sleeping until I would wake up. Made me realize that that’s not okay after I ended things

@billy bob You and @K could try taking some sort of a legal action if you can idk

@Saif Ullah Khan and they run off and spew more lies and tell everyone how horrible you are lmao its actually insane my ex told her family that i was physically abusing her which is the complete opposite.

The worst that's ever happened to me was when I found out that my crush turned out to be a lesbian and started dating another woman. Thank goodness I never pursued a relationship in the first place eh?

@Saif Ullah Khan unfortunately, people don’t take the victim seriously

Damn, you guys should've reported them or speak to someone else

@K I feel you, people are horrible and completely insane. Atleast we learned a lot of lessons!

@billy bob that’s exactly what happened to me!!! I literally walked in on them and he someone convinced me that I was just seeing what I wanted to see

My ex did that shit I caught her cheating and she still trying to make me think I was crazy lmao


Yay!!! Justice was served.....eventually


@5:51 my mom has had that exact chair for about 20 years now lmao


waisting time investigating a guy which is tall and black,the opposite of what was said by the witness,just to make a step ahead in their career.Imagine the alibi was not proven correct for this guy.I cannot imagine how many persons were charged like this and didnt know what to do and ended up in prison.


This is why in Australia we call police!  "Dogs" in Australia to be called a dog is the lowest of the food chain!


Why was it  ok for the cops to lie and be dishonest he should be able to sue the cops for defamation and and  the department


"suspect is a small white male similar to Seth Green"<br>brings back Terry Crews.

"suspect is a small white male similar to Seth Green"
brings back Terry Crews.


Demoted?? They should be fired…. And he should get their pensions at least


Some folk dont care whos lives they ruin chasing their promotion and seems like theres a ton of them concentrated at police stations around the world.


i was trying to figure out why this guy is so nice. its cause he is from canada


ten points for the accused. if he now is without bitterness ten more.


9:20 - As God is my (expletive) witness, I did not do this..... Horrible blasphemy right there


why didn't they just asked his manager if he was at work and how long he was at work. If they had done that first such thing wouldn't had happened.


did anyone else read the description exactly when he said it?


Learn these statements. 1. Is there any reason to believe a crime has been committed? 2. If so am I being detained? 3. Am I free to go?             Say that on repeat until they let you go.


Videos like these only further the image of the police being some of the laziest professionals.


Try to upload your videos but do not list them, the community will quickly know how to search for them. I don't know if you can monetize them, nor would I know if this is a viable option.

@Zeke Brunt there is a video on his other channel.J C S YouTube have taken some of his videos dowb

@José Francisco Navarrete Orozco what happened

If the option is viable, let us know through the community option


46k for 3 days, yo if I was him I would stay there for few more days 😂


What’s sad is that the caller described him as a small white male and they pick up a tall black man off the street and interrogate him with a crime.


Woah $$$ makes me want to be wrongfully charged for 3.5 days. Lol


The truth is paramount. You can tell this guy is innocent. Just a nice guy.


This is scary. What ever happened to follow the evidence?


That Cop is A DISGRACE to every Cop in the WORLD!!!!!!


The detective who dealt with Michael is English by the sound of his accent ..


They always say they know you did it.  That's what they are trained to say.


OMG what a effin balls up!! Poor, polite, patient Bastard! And that investigators!! No, I’m serious, is that rookie for real? Shameful.


I'm going to charge you tonight, however... (unfortunately..) I do have a duty to look for the truth and I will (I guess since I have to and at some point in the future, and after your already in a cell because I already decided it was you...)" investigate ".


Do we know the gentleman’s name in this video? 3.5 days in jail is a big fucking deal.


These people should not be detectives they don’t know how to do their job


YouTube, put this man's videos back up! There are videos on here of people eating live sea creatures, for god's sake, but you take down these vids? I've seen so much worse on here, over the years. Saw a man blow his brains out with a revolver on YouTube a few years ago. I could probably find it again, if I tried hard enough. The golden age is well and truly dead.


We can all rest easy knowing that police officer now is a police officer who makes less money


46K for 3 days in jail? doesn't sounds that bad


I really don't get why people even TALK to the cops. I want my laywer. I need water. I need the bathroom. that is it. the only words I would speak. I was once fired from a job because they accused me of breaking propoerty on my day off. I wasn't even on the propoerty the day it happend. The next day I went to work,  they fired me, than had me sit down with their "laywer" who told me I had to pay them for the damages. I told this "laywer" the only way I would pay for any damages is if and when you file a police report and I am found guilty. So go ahead and file the report. They never did, I didn't pay a dime. Turned out later the head of security broke the propoerty and tried to pin it on me, he was fired a few months later for something else.


One word "lawyer. " don't answer any questions.


Get a fucking lawyer! Always! Immediately!


The difference in a response between an  ex-con and a no priors guy is understandable..


What an asshole that investigator is.

Not only does he deserve to be demoted he deserves to be fired and never serve as a police officer again.

 And I think it's fair that he got $46000 for 3 days of being incarcerated those are 3 days he will never Get back because of the police officers.

So that's very fair. Although I wish he would have got a million dollars or more That is time he will never get back and my time is worth a lot money. And everyone should be valued highly.


The officers involved were Oliver Mann, Christian Beaulne and Jason Leek.


guilty or innocent makes no difference when everyone is acting like he is the main man, big deal, bigger than you, tougher than you, the whole  society's attitude is to hate each other and not give a shit what happens to the other person, rotten and disgusting place to try and live in.


The police don't lie cos they want to they have to it would be very difficult to solve many cases without lying and alot of people they talk to lie so it does give them that edge and the end justifies the means


I hope he sued for big money $$$$!   He was a total gentlemen that entire time.


3:20 The detective is just saying "im a pig"


His behaviour is not an anomaly to me, his behaviour is from a well educated black guy who has been brought up to be fearful of the police for good reasons like this.


Justin shouldve known to get a lawyer. Cmon man.


This Narrator is like a mix between Dick Cavett and Rod Serling


8/15/03 interrogator is the worst Ive ever heard


This is why you NEVER talk to the police... let your lawyer do it.. because they will lock you in a cage for the rest of your life and not care


So glad the idiot detectives were demoted and suspended.


Where's the Cliff Burns video? The Nikolas Cruz video? Just... Gone?


Michael: “So view the video camera.”
Detective: “I have.”
Michael: “Ok.”
Detective: 🤥

@Mohd Lad95 is that a big Lebowski reference? Mark it zero?

Yeah, it is a game of poker.  And Michael was far too agreeable on this point.
I had something similar happen when I was 15.  I was accused of hitting someone, unprovoked, in the chest while at my first haunted house.  All the fellow employees of the guy were also claiming this, when none of them could have seen what happened.  The reality was the guy startled me when I was inches away from him and I pushed him.  The cops claimed he had a large red, swollen spot on his chest.  I told them flat out that was not true and demanded they show me.  In the end the cops believed me over him and his lying co-workers.
Don’t be afraid to call someone’s bluff and lean on them when you know they’re lying.

@Simon As an awkward introvert myself, he was probably panicking inside and didn't think of it on the spot. Our minds instinctively go to "what do I have to do to prove this" instead of "what are YOU going to do to prove it"

@Simon considering this  is video showing personality traits I see nothing weird about it.

@UnCreative Deconstructionism it actually is a game of poker.  You have to tell the suspect you know but you have to hide your hand of cards so to speak.

At no point does he say "Show me the video". Weird.
