Here’s a good quote: “I have just as much evidence that I am innocent, as you have that I am guilty. Which is close to nothing. I can’t prove anything to you other than by telling you that I committed no crime.”

you shouldn't speak to police without an attorney present

it is a good quote, but to an interrogator, especially one that wants to close a case asap, it will be taken as a smart alec comment. On top of that, I would think more than not, folks (including detectives) cannot process this in real time. This plus selective / confirmation bias, makes for a deadly combination.


Cops: We lost him. Let’s just arrest the first person we see.

@Victor Nieves i think the job of being a police officer attracts negative personalities.  Like people who crave authority and want to have power to yell at people.  I think a good cop would actually be someone who doesnt want to be one.  Thats my opinion anyway.

That happened to me as a teen because i had a mustache lol wtf

@Caleb This. I dont know how the laws work in Canada but innocent people are often not quick enough to Lawyer up. In America every good lawyer would be like, ok you got the footage, lets see it. This isnt traffic court, you have no right to file false charges against this guy without showing why the charge is justifiied. A frivilous criminal lawsuit is bad.   Guy is analytical enough to know he needs a lawyer and to know to call their bluff on the footage because he is innocent, but too polite and innocent to stick to his guns when he asked for a lawyer. Probably would have made all the difference for this guy not spending 3.5 days in jail.  Good Lawyer would have solved it in an hour or two, and made sure he left that room a free man.

@GuyFromSouth That’s actually happened multiple occasions.

@i 2017 Clearly he's a transformer. They're more than meets the eye.

@Maniac50AE woe its racist when the person is black but if the person is white oh no its not racist

@Viper Lying is used in interrogations to get a criminal to admit. As the video stated, innocent people almost never admit to crimes.

They didn't think they lost him, though. There have been many cases where such an action was correct.

@Things Aren’t That Simple Investigations and subsequent arrests should be conducted according to evidence. That's not what happened here. What happened here was a clear cut case of racial profiling and an abuse of authority. But it's actually quite commonplace, which is a problem. I don't want our police to run around terrorizing innocent people out of your misguided sense of justice.

Individuals should never have to worry about their freedom being arbitrarily threatened by the state just because it saves authorities face or protects the fragile feelings of police officers looking to close the case quickly rather than doing it the right way. That isn't justice. That's tyranny. Do you want that?

But I don't know. Maybe you like living in a police state where people don't have rights and the government has ultimate power. I can't fathom why. Maybe because you think it can't happen to you. In which case, you'd be wrong.

@i 2017 <br>"We lost him. But LOOK! There's a black guy! We can arrest that instead!"

@i 2017
"We lost him. But LOOK! There's a black guy! We can arrest that instead!"

we lost the short white male sus, but there is a tall black case closed getting off the bus

@Dylan Feetz Muir what<br>imagine whooooshing in 2020

@Dylan Feetz Muir what
imagine whooooshing in 2020

@Things Aren’t That Simple Bro he literally insists he's guilty, while lying about having proof of him doing it. Told he would be in Jail overnight and was instead held 3 and a half days before a different party investigated and concluded he was innocent. The guy literally told him that he wasn't debating with him and that he was guilty and essentially forced him to accept. It's LITERALLY what happened...

@Things Aren’t That Simple you clearly didnt see the video<br>"the Evidence we have is overwhelming"when in reality they have no evidence.

@Things Aren’t That Simple you clearly didnt see the video
"the Evidence we have is overwhelming"when in reality they have no evidence.

@Gmodiscool15 its the cold harsh reality

@Gmodiscool15 its the cold harsh reality

@Viper It’s not forcing them to accept anything. Again, that’s not how it works.

@Viper Well, when you have a state that has the most dangerous crime and crimes rates in the state, and the majority of them being the same color, of course you’ll have 10 years of wrongful convictions. You know what’s worse than the wrongful convictions? Not finding the criminals at all. Why don’t you research all the homicide victims that never receive justice because the killer is never found.

@sleepydragon1975 No proof it was racism at fault, even then that's not systemic. Systemic racism is whenever it is the system that has a bias, not the cops.

@Treblaine this is almost certainly the case here. horseshit charges given to justify previous mistakes

@Things Aren’t That Simple but off course investigating someone with just the evidence that the person was near the area of the crime is enough to force them to accept they did something they didnt do.

@Things Aren’t That Simple well i suggest you reaserch settlements and how the just only  the city of chicago for example has spend 1 billion in 10 years of wrongful convictions and investigations.<br>ah but yeah totally legal i guess to do this and part of protocol.

@Things Aren’t That Simple well i suggest you reaserch settlements and how the just only  the city of chicago for example has spend 1 billion in 10 years of wrongful convictions and investigations.
ah but yeah totally legal i guess to do this and part of protocol.

@Things Aren’t That Simple idk maybe by actually having proof and not getting random ppl in the street and saying that there guilty because someone said so or because they say so.

How will find criminals if they can’t investigate them?

How will find criminals if they can’t investigate them?

Happens WAY more often than they admit. It’s what happens when ego and bravado have free reign in the tribe of cops

@GuyFromSouth theyre both lol 99% of them anyway

@GuyFromSouth theyre both lol 99% of them anyway

Yo where's your profile picture from the colours look sick

"But this guy is tall and black!"

"Even better!"

"But this guy is tall and black!"

"Even better!"

@i 2017 Systemic racism in action.  The first thing they could have done was look at the surveillance video.

"DONT SHOOT HES NOT BLACK" - dragon ball super

"DONT SHOOT HES NOT BLACK" - dragon ball super

they could’ve spent that time searching for the real suspect but instead they had multiple armed cops arrest some random civilian off the street while the guy who committed the crime got away

@Treblaine if all people I disagree with were as reasonable as you I would no longer have arguments and go back to discussing stuff like normans

@Officer Hotpants wow that sounds spot on.

@Officer Hotpants wow that sounds spot on.

Modern Police are highly trained to pick out shapeshifters from a crowd

@Caleb Still the arrest is totally inexplicable, they are chasing a running man and encounter a man who is not only not running but doesn't remotely match the description of the suspect and has a cast iron alibi they could have easily immediately verified to decide if detaining him should become an arrest.

Something went horribly wrong, guns being drawn seems to be a part of this. I can't easily prove this is racism but this sort of thing just keeps happening when the race of the accused is different from the police.

It's arguably reasonable to make that arrest, but completely insane to not immediately look at footage from the surrounding area and check any possible alibis right away

@Hannibalwantsahug Grande Inherently authoritarian organizations attract authoritarians.  I mean "authorities" is a widespread alternative word for "the police".  And to an authoritarian, right & wrong are never an issue because they're always right by virtue of power.

Him: It’s not me<br>Interrogator: That’s not up for debate

Him: It’s not me
Interrogator: That’s not up for debate

A small white man is the suspect and they arrest a large black man WTF???????????


I envy this man. If I was in the same situation, I'd be apocalyptically enraged. I envy his calm demeanor and the ability to remain this calm under immense pressure. I hope the people responsible for treating him this horribly got what they deserved, not just some "oopsie-daisy" slap on the wrist. Wrong place wrong time is a terrifying concept to me. I hope Michael is doing swimmingly and didn't face any backlash for this nonsense at work or whatever.

@CatFish107 Maybe so, but I'm not going to make any assumptions.

@Violet Joy If it's the Toronto police, don't rule out racist, corrupt, and generally garbage right through the ranks. They've had a bad problem for a while.

@Dishonored Undead To be fair, we don't know if it was a day off. Hopefully not. And up for a promotion? Unless his superiors are as inept as he is, he would have to work long and hard to get a promotion after this circus act.

I recognized the anger he was actually having.
I'm probably just imagining/projecting but I'm pretty sure I could see/hear the anger that wasn't as "apparent".

When brought in, he was pretty calm, it was just an inconvenience and he was sure things would go well and maybe he would help them get things sorted out.

Then, when the interviewer would accuse him and call him a liar and etc, and his response was to smile and chuckle.
Those laughs/etc were a response to a mixed feeling of the typical anger and the humor seen in the ridiculousness of it.
The end was him boiling about them definitely continuing to waste his time but not realizing how much time they're going to try to waste.

He actually believed they were going to look into the notion that he was being honest. If the interviewer was honest about actually intending to do nothing, he would have lost the hope and humor he built up, and then show more visible anger/hostility.
He would still be rational, people just wouldn't say he was calm.

3 investigators were demoted and suspended without pay.  Which sounds great on paper, but in practice relates to a day off, and up for promotion in a week.  Still, I'm impressed anything happened.  The suspect was released from prison after 3 days and eventually won 46k in a lawsuit.  Which probably just about covered the lawyer fees.


tall black guy being “confused” for a small white guy. classic.

tall black guy being “confused” for a small white guy. classic.

@- LMAOOOOOO pls tell me you are troll. There's white people in south america too. Imagine a person from morroco calling themselves "no, we are north africans, not africans, thats a completely different continent" Only U.S citizens (and anglosaxon people) call themselves as americans, the rest of the world has a word for U.S citizens that is not americans, cause it could be misaken as a reference to the continent.

@Caleb Lee Curb my self importance? Do you actually think i give a shit what peoples opinion are of me in a youtube discussion? You have conversations like this to put what you think is right to the test, not to prove others wrong. Still, i do find it funny that you have to point out that nobody cares about my particular opinion yet you've spent quite a considerable amount of time to try and change my mind. If you're going to try and get under my skin with such a comment then maybe you should make sure it's true first. Because there is one person who cares, Caleb Lee.

@Bluepiggy The American part is not important? What are you on? It's literally locational, a defining feature of the country is where it is located. Also yes, the states acted as countries, for about 20 years... they then fell in line to a federalist system, still with power but less. For someone talking about education you seem to leave out some key details about the time of the Articles of Confederation. You're on some tirade about how the country isn't called "America" because that's a continent, but the fact is it isn't. It isn't about egos. It's about, as you said, simplification. "America" is not a continent. North America and South America are. Hell you can even call them both "The Americas." But saying "America' doesn't actually refer to a continent. However, the point was made above that you seem to miss. The country name is not "The United States." It is "The United States of America," which is where American comes from, the final word in the FULL country name, which you are ignoring for the furthering of your own narrative. Where I am getting lost is how you think people care about what you call the country or the people within. If you call it America, people will understand. If you call it the United States, people will also understand. So nobody really cares what Bluepiggy has to say about what they call the US. Curb your self importance.

@Bluepiggy <b>*you said American who tf are you referring to*</b>

@Bluepiggy **you said American who tf are you referring to**

@Felix Sanchez no he was referring to the us he didn't say American he said good ole merica which is the us. Not canada

@Blu_Rayx sorry guy nice try but you don't say 'merica unless your referring to the US 😀

@harsegirl You asked a genuine question! My conversation with the other dude might be heated but it's just banter. I think it's important to be respectful to people who ask for explanations.
It's funny you mentioned the biased part, There is a lot of hate towards americans on the internet so i try not to feed into it. it's also important to let people make up their own opinion rather than to try and paint them your way. The world would be a boring place if everyone thought like me.
Also i like the idea of the US government coming out with a statement, that would end this eternal debate.

@j r I always say US citizen to avoid confusion also I feel it’s ignorant to just say “American” for US citizens.

@Bluepiggy ahhhh i see. thanks for explaining it in a way that wasn't extremely biased or rude lol :)

@harsegirl It's a question of semantics, i brought it up in a previous comment i made, You can be south african without being from the country south africa. (Because africa is a continent which you can hail from the southern parts)
And if you're trying to use the south/north thing to counter a point i've made then shouldn't it be "United states of north america" and you guys be known as "North americans"?
If the answer to that is no, then why bring up the divide?

The whole debate boils down to the question what the real name of the country of the US is and what the proper name for its citizens is.
Calling you americans would be calling me a european.

Early americans considered themselves of "The united states" which reflects in a lot of languages to this day, my native tounge doesn't even use the "America" in the "United states of america", you're simply called "United states"
Saying "Flying over to the states" is far more accurate than saying "Flying over to america".
I suppose at the end of the day, sure you can call yourself american, but that's not the name of your country.

EDIT: I completely forgot to mention that not all naming convetions follow the 'rules' so to speak.
Even if your country is called 'United states' then the people could still be called "Americans." Despite how wrong and confusing that might be. 'Stater' doesn't ring as well sadly.
Like how netherlands have dutch people.

@Blu_Rayx there is 2 american continents, north and south america, north america is white black and brown people mostly white black and brown english speaking people, south america is mostly brown and black people who speak spanish and little english

@Caleb Lee The 'America' part in the 'United states of america' refers to the continent. If you don't know that then i believe you've been smoking whatever you have a bit too much.

Did we get into a comment war about what to call people who live on the American continents?

@Bluepiggy "The United States of America refers to the continent, not the country." I want whatever you are smoking, what? 🤣

I'm from Hamilton and the hps doesn't have a 100% perfect record in this field, just saying

@Marjannuel Saturnino Depends on which model is being taught

@Kaya just Kaya it was Ontario Canada...😐

@Kaya just Kaya it was Ontario Canada...😐

@Bluepiggy So first of all Canadians generally resent being called American. South Africa's Demonym is South African.

The America is United States of America is the nation's name. United States is a descriptor in the same vein as Federal Republic is for Germany or Kingdom is for Sweden.

America may be the name of two continents, but it also the name of a nation and trying telling us what our country's name is or isnt is pretty arrogant.

Either refer to us as Americans or refer to us by out individual state demonyms

@Kaya just Kaya bruh, you know you didnt have to say all that shit, you know you're trying to start a whole war

@Bluepiggy idk about this whole argument maybe I’m dumb but aren’t South America and North America two separate continents? calling someone American would mean they are from the us, right? if you’re not from the us, you would be referred to as say, Canadian or Argentinian, right? lmao the thoughts on this matter are so split we need a real conclusion from some government official or something

@Taylor British is the empire name that is for all the inhabitants of the empire, then you have the separate kingdoms. i have a friend that lives in london that perfer i call him english rather than british. Just like how a canadian would like to be called american or a frenchman would like to be called a european. You don't own the name of American just as much as south africans dont own the name african. The 'American' part in the 'United states of america' is refering to a continent, not a country/empire/kingdom. So no, the correct country term for someone living in the US should be 'United Stater' or just 'Stater', Calling you american would still be refering to the continent you live on, just like calling someone from south africa an african. Hell you don't even need to be from south africa to be a south african since it refers to the southern part of africa just as much as it refers to the country. Kinda like how the whole america thing works.<br>No one said you aren't american, but people sure as hell said that every other country in the americas can call themselves that too.

No one said you aren't american, but people sure as hell said that every other country in the americas can call themselves that too.

@j r That's hilariously wrong, every language on earth except the one the natives use decides themselves what to call them. Germany doesn't call themselves german, that's what the english chose to call the germans. You're the united states of america, the more correct term would be 'united stater', or identifying yourself by the state you're from. A canadian is just as much american as an american. If a new country appeared in europe that called itself the 'union of europa' then sure they'd be known as european, but it wouldn't change the fact that everyone else is also a european in the european continent.

The united states of america refers to the continent, not the country. And with that in mind, you have no claim on american as a country name really. Just like how south africa isn't refering to the south part of a country. So you can still be a south african and not be from the country of south africa. Crazy i know.

@Blu_Rayx everyone in Brazil, Argentina, Peru, all South Americans are “Americans” too?

@Blu_Rayx everyone in Brazil, Argentina, Peru, all South Americans are “Americans” too?

@Kaya just Kaya the cop was literally not from “merica” but thanks for playing

@Kaya just Kaya the cop was literally not from “merica” but thanks for playing

@Blu_Rayx yes and everyone but south America calls the USA America, plus he said Merica wich ive never heard refered to anything but the U.S.

@Taylor Yeah, but I'm just saying it's not innacurate to call a Canadian american

@Taylor Yeah, but I'm just saying it's not innacurate to call a Canadian american

@Blu_Rayx I am not mocking you its just we're the only country that calls itself America and the only people whose nationality is American. Thats all

He's white as fuck, what are you on about?

He's white as fuck, what are you on about?

@Taylor I wasn't saying it was wrong to call you americans, it's just not very exact and I understand there's no other way to say it in your language, and please don't make fun of mine

@Blu_Rayx You do realize the USA is the United States of AMERICA, right? Our Demonym is American lmao. Thats like saying people from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland arent British, but United Kingdomers 🥴

@John Alfredo there is an American continent in the model taught in Latin America and some European countries. The model taught in the US treats North and South America as separate continents

@Blu_Rayx I mean if we're getting this specific there is no American continent, only North and South America. You call these America, the same way United States of America is called America. They're all just abbreviations.

@j r yeah but the entire continent is called America, so everyone from the continent is American, just like everyone from Europe is European, it's not wrong to say that.

still gonna call you guys gringos tho.

@Felix Sanchez prime example of a failed educational system

@Felix Sanchez prime example of a failed educational system

@j r I'm not saying I can call you however I like, I'm just saying that in my country (Chile) we call you like that
Edit: and also if it's a country like the USA or Canada we call you North Americans.
There's also a less educated way to call you, it's "gringos"

@Blu_Rayx well there's two different American continents bro, so North American would be fine for Canada. Canada isn't the united Canadian states of America, it's just Canada. We are Americans in the US because we are the United States of America. We choose what we are called, not you. I can't just call French people whatever I feel like, well I could but then I'd be corrected by tons of others like I'm correcting you.

@Blu_Rayx wow didn't know that what country is that?
Here, it goes Mexican,american(u.s.),canadian
Or if your from somewhere else and live in the u.s. its mexican-american, 'African'-American or something like that. People here also confuse race and nationality a lot, people call me Mexican but I was born in California it's only because I'm brown  and my name they assume I'd rather be called Mexican and whites be called American. Minority People have gotten offended that I call myself American actually lol

@Felix Sanchez that's because americans don't have a name for their nationality, in my country we know them as "estadounidenses" which can be translated as "united staters" that's why americans for me are everyone that lives in the continent known as America

@Blu_Rayx oh that's confusing. as someone born in the us im considered an American but someone born in Canada is considered Canadian

Classic for Merica if you ask me.
Sure Europe has black n white to but be honest, it's America's biggest and loudest trope and second is being fat.

And third is maybe (personall) - making bad chocolate.
Some would argue and would say beer is the third worst American trope (personall option)
But the only alcoholic I've drunk was mixed - Vodka (which is alcohol but not beer).
Did I start a war?


This is why cops should be sued personally and not just through their departments.  If they know they're going to be on the hook financially for bad behavior on the job, they'll be less likely to behave badly on the job.

I say to you All LEO’s are bad cops. Let me explain: Cops are almost always at least in pairs or more and during a law enforcement officer’s career there is a great chance they or have seen another officer act improper or illegal due to dealing with baby rapists thieves, & murders. So we all know happens amongst criminal when they rat / snitch / turn in another criminal. Well it’s the same with Law Enforcement Offices and it’s the same with a cop snitch as it is with criminals. Therefore the only good cop one that has quit, been run off, or killed because the other cops let it happen or caused it, because the cop turned in a fellow officer. If you don’t agree with the above I challenge you to ask a friend that is law enforcement officer you trust the following questions: Have you ever broke a department rule or state law or federal law while on duty? And did you turn yourself in? Have you ever witnessed or acquired information of another officer that broke a department rule or state law or federal law on duty? And did you turn them in? Have you ever or seen another officer make a mistake on an arrest that will let a known criminal off? And did you snitch on that fellow officer. If you saw another officer make a big mistake (murder) and NOT ARREST THAT OFFICER OR OFFICERS for murder? Well that is every officer aware of the George Floyd case that has not arrested the other three complicit officers. Yes all three offices were complicit. The other two offices that sat on Mr. Floyd and the other office that watched and did not PROTECT AND SERVE the safety or George Floyd. Then a Grand Jury should decide if George Floyd died from eating his stash of fentanyl or did the gang of cops kill him. So yeah all offices are bad or will become bad. If they aren’t bad its because they just haven’t been an officer long enough. JUST DO A SEARCH ON YouTube: Bad Cop. It is not racists cops killing it is a a systemic problem in the LEO community of NO bad cops every getting arrested or turned in by their fellow officers. The two Only ways to stop this bad cop behavior is: Fine the bad cops and give the money to the good cops that snitch; and if a cop if found to witness any other cop maleficence and NOT snitch / rat then they should be fired. So with all this said I feel for all LEO's, dammed if you snitch and dammed if you stay a LEO. The other way to fix this systemic NO SNITCH problem is by: Record all interactions by LEO's with the public and automatically have the videos posted for the public to view.

@seattleblaze investigating takes time. Time that they rather spend drivin and shootin. The thing most bad police officers join the trade for.

Complete negligence should result in individual punishment because the ramifications of such mistakes are potentially catastrophic. Just like doctors can face criminal liability, so should investigators, especially when simple, primary details are overlooked. This would ensure that when they (investigators) make decisions that are potentially for their own benefit (like seeking a confession for the purposes of say, a promotion) at the expense of the truth, they will think twice. A great shame that truth has gone by the wayside in these times.

They should just require them to have insurance for things such as this. They get sued and the price hikes up each time, they don’t have insurance they can’t be police.

Any other career if you fuck up, then you are fired. Within law enforcement they "look out for their own".

@Rudi Goldblatt  "The police department should also take responsibility for the type of people they employ."  Yup.  That's key - would eliminate much of the horror of what we've been witnessing lately.

Police unions stop this from happening, sorta like how they stop bad teachers from being fired

“Bad behaviour on the job” more like  how they are taught to act like, it’s very common

Bad people are everywhere.. bad cops.. bad firefighters.. bad parents.. etc.. You have to know your rights and always -  Guilty or not, ALWAYS call your lawyer!

@seattleblaze even if they get fired they can almost always find work with another department somewhere else. A local cop in my hometown got fired for being drunk as hell and poaching at night in a farmers field with his spotlight on, using his service weapon to kill a deer, then he pulled the gun on the farmer and threatened to kill him when the farmer came out and confronted him while he was loading up the deer in his patrol cars trunk. It was a big deal in town because the chief didn't file any charges just fired him, then it came out that the guy had been fired from another towns police department for crazy behavior too. The town ended up having a vote to dissolve the local police and just have a county sheriff office outpost instead.

@seattleblaze They rarely get fired though, and especially not for lying, so they have no incentive not to lie. At most, they may be asked to resign, pension stays intact.

If fired, they would lose their pension, that's incentive not to lose their job over these lies, but this fool does it anyway. Small white man in the video, very tall black man being interagated. Most busses have had cameras for some time now. If he watched the video, this man does not look like their suspect, he should be fired for trying to trick this man into making a statement that could be twisted around. That's their job, those lying bastards. They only care about convictions, guilt or innocents doesn't matter to them, just their possible browny points.

@Chris Goodnow Yeah, that's a fair point. Thing is though is that people usually try to sue whoever has the most money, which usually ends up being a business, police department etc as opposed to one individual person. The police department should also take responsibility for the type of people they employ.

@Rudi Goldblatt I think their point was even though an officer can be accountable personally through the criminal system, if you sue the officer personally for civil damages they do not pay the tab--the government does. It does not come out of their pocket.

Not sued, that's not how suing works. If they are found to be corrupt they can be criminally charged for that though.


I'm pissed FOR that guy. 2 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, after clearly trying to clean his life up, damn.

@Spark No, he didn't serve the full sentence, which was somewhere in the range of 20 years, he was exonerated, but not after serving 2 years for a crime he didn't commit, hence my comment.

@Daniel Yeah that makes sense, but he didn't serve the full sentence, right?
Or did I miss something?

Nonetheless the system is messed up If the people representing it don't understand it. Just sad.

@Spark "Was later exonerated." This means he was later freed. He couldn't be exonerated if he hadn't been first found guilty. He would instead have just been declared not guilty.

@Daniel Please explain 10:02 Statement.
Not gonna lie it is quite confusing.
But that statement there seems pretty clear

@Beta Factor

Take a look at 10:02 that is why I am pretty certain

I totally understand the confusion here.
We would need details to really be sure.
I perceived that the narrator describes the upcoming event what he is about to hear.

@Spark Yeah, I watched whole video before I commented.

@Spark FFS can you take your own advice? At 6:54 Jim's narrator clearly says "he doesn't know he's about to be wrongfully imprisoned for just over two years". Unless that's incorrect, that's a pretty clear indication that he has, in fact, spent two years imprisoned. Perhaps that just means the time he was held before the resolution of the trial, I don't know, but either way, the fact remains.

Dude did not get sentenced.
He was proven innocent beyond doubt.
Watch the video don't just pause and assume

Also the investigator (Michael Case) is absolutely trash. I was relieved hearing they got fired.

@Daniel watch the video and the narrator say the guy is frustrated because he was in jail in his early 20 for 2 years and know that exactly the tone is the same as he was go to jail for 2 years.

Yeah pretty messed up that prison is meant to help people change and go back into society, yet when this person did he just got put back in again. The system is very broken.

@chase aspen Do you have a source we might be able to read?

I'm pretty sure the video was referring to a crime that he committed in his early 20s. I dont think he was convicted for this specific crime.

I think the  * was a correction from the narrator saying 3 years in prison.

when he first said that he spent two years in jail, i had to pause and teared up. and then as i continued the video i had this hope that they would realise his innocence and let him go (i don’t know why tbh) and then it was like another stab when that part ended. truly heart breaking

Cops just want to advance their career they don't give a F about innocents especially if they have a past. That's why most can't get out of their inferno. Vicious circle. Some try to walk straight but they always are given the short stick


What’s really making me uncomfortable is that they’ll do what it takes to make you look/feel guilty before knowing their innocence. Especially with no strong evidence.... imagine how many people are locked up bc of something like this....

thats exactly whats happening to me now.at the end of my interview he asked me if i would take a lie detector test. i said yes..that never happened. after 30 days in jail i finally made bail. i did not do what they say i did..

that first detective was so confident but he must come from the stevie wonder school of detectives...the real robber was differently dressed  much shorter and WHITE

I guess the smartest thing is to not talk to them at all.

@Skye Can't Stargaze In Cloudy Skies r/woooosh 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@Hunter Bidens School Dumpster Pew ASHUSHSUSHSUSHSUSHSUSH don’t ruin the joke

@Rehana why? For explaining how to change the quality, in case it wasn't just a joke, to be nice? For telling the reddit user to take his reddit threads back to reddit? Maybe because you take issue with using comedy to speak truth to power and bring up difficult topics so we as a society can have a conversation about said topic and bring about change? Or is it that you deny factual information? Why exactly an I a child, could you point to which part makes you believe that, and let me know which reason you believe that makes me a child in you eyes?

Because for me, when someone on the internet calls another person a child straight away, as their go to, I automatically assume that person is projecting their own age. Why? Because statistically, only children care about that sort of thing, and want to be the big kid, and so run around calling others children thinking it makes them older, and thinking that matters. Does age denote intelligence, access to information, awareness of pertinent current events, or comedic value of dark humor about difficult topics? Alrighty. If age is an insult to you, because it somehow means children know basic facts about current events and spread awareness of said events, then I'm a child. Lulz

@Jacob Ely true but it definitely increased the quality substantially...

@Marco Albán are you able to actually determine much?

@Hunter Bidens School Dumpster Pew you can pick whatever quality you want, wont change the native resolution of the cam footage which is certainly not 1080p

hahaahhaa xd, man, three pixels might sound low... But I study astrophysics and sometimes you got just three pixels available to study an object hhhaha

Fire that detective who tried to make someone innocent say he did something that he didn't do. Man, I'd be screaming at that detective.

@Skye Can't Stargaze In Cloudy Skies I was just tryna halp! Go back to reddit and spread the word of glorious Hunter Bidens Dumpster Pew!!!!

@Hunter Bidens School Dumpster Pew r/woooosh

Three dots, pick your own quality and pick 1080


Wow now I can imagine how many people were thrown in jail over nothing.

@james d sure bud. Just like Dean Browning is a gay black guy. Lol

And beaten to death, specially the falsely accused of rape, cause, you know, rapists are beaten to a pulp in jail, some even get shanked, it's just, bad

My lawyer told me about a client who plead guilty to rape, but didn’t do it. The girl was scared of her dad finding out she had sex; plus they were doing drugs in the parking lot.

freakbag556 The worst part is some have sat there for over 20 or even 40 years before they finally do the right thing, and sometimes they know but bc the person is of no consequence they just let them rot. Or those on death row. If a gung-ho prosecutor is climbing the ladder they will lie and manipulate till the puzzle pieces fit. It's foul and evil.

@Furosukki That's the most perfect sitatuion where I can use, if you excuse me, (clears throat) ..... (inhales, 1..2..3)... (here it goes):

"FBI This man right here"

@james d so you're admitting you've commited multiple crimes and avoided jail time in every single one of them?

@Outdose pretty sure back then gettimg thrown into jail wasn't the worst thing that could happen to them...

Now just imagine back before all the detectives had such high tech technology.


I’d prefer to see Michael interrogate his interrogator... he’s clearly the more intelligent of the two.

@Hooligan Fanatic He never lied, he is at the very least more ethical which I say makes him smarter!

@Hooligan Fanatic you know the difference between smart and clever! damn son, you were mama's favorite, don't lie

@Hooligan Fanatic that proves he has critical thinking, problem solving, and that he could create strong thoughts against someone who held all their freedom in the palm of their hand. if someone put a gun do your head and asked you questions, i bet youd tremble in fear and struggle when completing thought. someone who could overpower the fear that someone with full control placed upon them, would have undoubtedly a stronger brain than him. if the detective’s goal was to get the subject to admit to something he didn’t do, and failed he indisputably was outsmarted by the subject. quite frankly, in any given situation where a detective (who most likely spent around 6 years at a collegiate level studying interrogation) is outsmarted by a subject (who most likely didnt spend 6 years studying interrogation or else he would be a detective) then most would agree that the subject would have to be smarter than him.

Yeah seriously.. I doubt any of you could tell me that listening to that guy accuse Michael over and over again didn’t sound just like the wallet scene from spongebob. This interrogator is literally dumber than Patrick star. How was he able to get this job in the first place???

@Hooligan Fanatic clever and smart are synonymous, funny enough. Nice b8 tho

@Hooligan Fanatic the interrogator is a manipulative person

@Hooligan Fanatic The guy immediately put himself in a box with nowhere to go. And his department insurance paid $46,000 because he didn’t want to do his job and CHECK before carting this guy off to prison. Maybe you should go back to playing with roller coaster games alone.

@Hooligan Fanatic 19:20 "Talk to the bus driver". Did the Police not think of that at the time?
Remember, all through the interrogation the officer knows or could have known he doesn't have the right suspect.
The problem is; Police are programmed to prove guilt not innocence so they put very little effort into making sure they aren't arresting an innocent person.

@Hooligan Fanatic He's obviously smarter, he realizes the bluff and gets payed 46000cad whereas the investigators//dettainers get suspended for their stupidity. What are you even trying to prove or justify here

@Hooligan Fanatic The cop is an intellectual insect mate. Your comment is amusing..

@Hooligan Fanatic it’s pretty clear the interrogator is a headass bruh, he got caught at every turn he tried to take

@Hooligan Fanatic The hole video shows it. Nobody needs a time stamp to see that.

@Hooligan Fanatic you lost this argument.

The moment when he understand the interrogator strategy about camera and explain it to him that can't work.

@Hooligan Fanatic damn you sound so salty 🤣

@Hooligan Fanatic books dont make you smart. If he was so smart why didnt he immediately read the innocent mans body language?

His book didnt work so he decided to try every chapter over and over again.

@Hooligan Fanatic okay, if we must split hairs, then yes, it’s possible the interrogator is smart(er), but he’s clearly not prepared.... and when we’re talking about personal liberty we’d hope our civil servants would do their due diligence, eh?

@William Journell that doesn't prove he's smart, it proves he's clever

@Hooligan Fanatic um, because he uses reason in midst of being in a powerless situation whilst investigating officer comes at him guns blazing w/ no understanding of the eye witness testimony indicating someone of a different stature AND race.. smart policing, for sure. The fact that u would feel compelled to defend his intelligence, tho, is, well, interesting... BUT I won’t leap to judgment, outwardly

how is he more intelligent? put a time stamp where he is proven to be more intelligent

Might actually catch a criminal that way.


"Falsely in Prison for 2 years"<br>I'm so sorry for him

"Falsely in Prison for 2 years"
I'm so sorry for him

@PLOU-GOD money if its still an ongoing case (sometimes, more not than often) and nothing if it's not

I feel like this is a dumb question but when someone gets falsely accused but given prison time, the time they get out and they know they weren’t guilty what do they get in return? Money? Or nothing...

@Val Asfar who's millions <br>Let's steal from others (taxes).

@Val Asfar who's millions
Let's steal from others (taxes).

There's one guy that recently got out of prison, it's like 2 years I think. He spent 20 years in prison, finished a law degree in there and basically spent the 20 years convincing people to look into the case again. After 20 years they did, and found him not guilty. Fun times, I tell you.

Off of a false accuser too. I hope she got punished for that but...we know how those situations usually go.

There are few combinations of words that make me this mad and sad.


Lmao that investigator probably started sweating when he was like "we have a video of the scene" and dude was like "Great! Perfect! Watch the video!"

@Oznem Derks The investigator's ego got hurt. That's why. smh


His manner looks like he was innocent how bad it was to put this guy in custody for nothing.


A cop once told me “You can talk yourself into handcuffs, But you can’t talk yourself out”. I know the urge to defend your TRUE innocence is a strong urge, But you simply have to remain silent and request an attorney.

@Erebos we have those too. You’re country isn’t special

@Erebos They're necessarily awful. But they're wayy overworked and barely have enough time for the cases they're given. When it comes to your innocence and future, you're gonna want someone who can look into your case and not just spent 15 minutes on it.

@SlicRicFlair WOOO dude, you literally just watched a video of innocent people being charged. Did you even see how the cop pounced on him when he said he knew the cindy girl? Never ever talk to a cop without an attorney present. It doesn't matter if you know you are innocent, one misunderstanding or accidental slipup and you better make sure not to drop the soap

@SlicRicFlair WOOO in the United States criminal attorneys can be provided for free by the state, They are called “public defenders”.

Wouldn't that cost money? Alot of people probably feel comfortable not asking for an attorney when they KNOW they didn't do anything rather than pay a fee for somebody to explain what they already know.

@JUSTIN Hm, since I'm a law abiding citizen I never needed one, but when I served as alderman the attorney who spoke in the cases I was assigned to did very well. again, not in the US...

@Erebos It's really not advisable to get a public defender

@M Silva don't they get provider in the us? I know yku get one here for free if you need one (Europe)

That's kinda difficult when you're randomly pulled out of a bus and charged for a crime you didn't even know happened. He clearly was trying to avoid the need for an attorney because most people don't keep a criminal attorney on speeddial and don't have the money to afford them just lying around.

Which is also what career criminals do. It's a tough spot, being accused by incompetent idiots.


As an introvert that’s been under investigation, I can see myself in that chair in this video. Although he seemed calm, believe me when I say, his thoughts were definitely going a mile a minute trying to piece together reality.


He said he had a duty to ensure the truth is out while lying about everything. This is disgusting police officers now days and the sad thing is - they are almost all the same


This is why innocent until PROVEN guitly is important. Reasonable doubt is so important.

@Charlie Slobig worst are those for non-crimes like possession of marijuana.

@modestrocker1 that is what is called a non-sequitur. Yes there are bad cops, that doesnt change the principle of justice we should strive to uphold. How about we tell corporations and twitter mobs the same thing? What about people killed in riots?<br>Edit: grammar mistakes.

@Frank Gonzalez Official sounds like USA ended up copying that model so many innocent people behind bars in the most institutionalized country in the world it’s scary for the people who did nothing rotting in prison for no reason

There was never any doubt as he was not a small white man.

In Mexico you are guilty until proven innocent. Their judicial system was modeled after the USA but a mistake was made, instead of innocent until proven guilty they wrote guilty until proven innocent. Since then the courts and judges have been following that rule.

@Rob Guiking the only country i know that had guilty until proven innocent is japan so most people usually just accept it if the punishment not heavy.

This is the opposite in the internet or twitter however.

@Carbon 12 You are dreaming. Europe has innocent until proven guilty model all the way, and that is not key parts of Brexit. Get your facts straight.
<br>You must be 12 or less.

@Carbon 12 You are dreaming. Europe has innocent until proven guilty model all the way, and that is not key parts of Brexit. Get your facts straight.

@Carbon 12 I'm European and trust me, you really don't know what you are talking about.

@Carbon 12 what are you talking about lmao. Flat out is not true >.>

@Carbon 12 I think Europe has an innocent until proven guilty model

This is one of the key parts of Brexit, France and Europe run on guilty until proven innocent model. Britain theoretically not so much.


"demoted" dude should have gone to jail for willfully wrongfully imprisoning someone

I feeeeeeel like your a bad person and guilty so I'm obligated by law to put you in jail for a crime you did not commit.

Cops only get fired when they try to do the right thing. The disgusting incompetence of this investigator is proof of that


seems like people go to jail in america when innocent A LOT in america ..   And that could be because cops seem to be way to stuck on certain suspects instead of giving them the benefit of doubt

Your initial "lmaoooo" was my original intention but it's really easy to confuse intention in a comment so I will gracefully forgive you for thinking I was coming at you sideways because I didn't understand your comment (although I guess you could argue that I was coming at you side ways for comedic value).  A prime example of intention and meaning being lost is your  "he slaughtered his family look it up lol" line, now I'm thinking did this person just tell me to look up a man that slaughtered his family because they had "lol" (lots of laughs)?.........and could this person be an extremely sick person that needs help?........or was there another reason for their sudden bout of laughter? or are they a bot?.......anything is possible......anyway I'm going back to watching that documentary you suggested, thanks and I look forward to the lots of laughs. 🤪😁

@phoenixash Delfuego the tall black dude is innocent and sweet as hell.

@Joe E I agree with you completely and I know my moral values are deeply christians, even tho I'm atheist. But I've known too many bad religious people to think this is a perfect way to make people behave. I think Islamic terrorists and pedophile priests are the best exemple, since they are supposed to be very highly religious but they dont apply a very lawful moral code. I'm not even talking about wars, bc I think God was just a justification, money was always the real reason. And I still think it's the real problem.

@Keira what? Are you talking about the tall black dude that pretended to be a short white dude? So did the tall black dude pretend to be a short white dude then after committing the crime take off his tall black guy costume to reveal a tall white guy then kill his wife but got caught before he could put on his short Chinese woman disguise?

@Bronco Belligerence For sure, many wars have been waged in the name of one God or another, no doubt. But what you call common sense (I'll assume things like stealing is bad, sharing is good) is not common at all. It must be taught and exercised, religion is what people have come up with to do this. Would you rather live in a community which tries to realize their religious values (do not steal, kill, fuck your buddy's wife) or one void of thoughts on morality?

@Laura B Well you haven't spent much time on the internet then.

@Laura B Well you haven't spent much time on the internet then.

@Joe E Yeah it still astonishes me to this day how religion sets the morals even though it's the cause of many wars.  I don't follow religious morals, I just follow common fucking sense, the best kind of morals.

@Simon Delaveau No worries,  I wasn't trying to define any one person, just my thoughts on why religion exists. I think humans, on a certain level, need a higher power to keep their base emotions in check. In a nutshell, moral behaviour allows humans to live together. Immoral and amoral behavior causes the breakdown of society. In my opinion, religion is needed as a guide for how people should treat each other. Not saying it's perfect, but it's what thousands of years of human evolution has come up with.

@Bronco Belligerence Actually I think you're just being overly combative and rude 🙃

@Bronco Belligerence Actually I think you're just being overly combative and rude 🙃

@Bronco Belligerence you originally have written Santa right? Well Santa for sure is made up and I think every non child knows that but saint Nikolaus did exist and I don’t even know how they’re literally made into one person right now like what Santa is made up by Coca Cola the only thing is that Coca Cola and basically everyone made Santa have similar qualities as Nikolaus but that’s it. So yeah what you originally said made sense but what you’re saying know referring to Santa as Nikolaus is wrong so just don’t get these two messed up okay

@O K Avoiding parties as a rule is not conservative. There are many types of parties, most of which aren't degenerate at all. Social cohesion and community are pillars of conservative thinking, parties are literally inevitable if those are among your priorities.

@Simon Delaveau Did you delete a comment? Anyway, I love science and I don't pay much attention to any religion. However, I do recognize the need for it.<br> You seem hostile to the idea of religion, care to explain your moral code and examine it's similarity to religious teachings?

@Simon Delaveau Did you delete a comment? Anyway, I love science and I don't pay much attention to any religion. However, I do recognize the need for it.
 You seem hostile to the idea of religion, care to explain your moral code and examine it's similarity to religious teachings?

@Joe E and btw your reasoning on why there never was any society without religion is kinda stupid as well since never before we had that much information about our existence, that's why less and less people believe in god, science whether you like it or not goes against pretty much everything religious people have been claiming...

@Bronco Belligerence Let me rudely interrupt with my two cents.
Learning science is essential to understanding the reality of our world, but religion is also essential to a properly functioning society. Religion sets the standard for morality and has for thousands of years. Atheist often claim they lead moral lives (and they do, many do not), yet when asked to define morality their definitions are basically religious teachings.
  Ever wonder why civilizations throughout history have always included a religion of one form or another? It's because any attempt by a people to form a society void of religion has failed and been lost to time.

@O K  Yeah? Don’t dwell on it. Nothing truly wrong with being studious or lacking social skills, even though you may want to improve on your social skills. But if you’re foolish or contemptible, you can change that. Just learn to take insults if you’re gonna deliver them.

@Keira ohhh I thought it was the guy who was freaking out. So hes good right?

@Keira ohhh I thought it was the guy who was freaking out. So hes good right?

@Harold I have to say you make a convincing argument but I'm not naive enough to assume that anybody here is naive enough to believe that I bench so much. Be that as it may, I'm now actually slightly afraid that I fit the official definition of nerd for some reason.

@TheGalonator the guy who said he’s low key and kind is named Chris Watts. He murdered his wife who was pregnant and their two daughters. He’s now trying to appeal.

@Harold well, let us define the word that is "nerd". I think it can mean many things but I think a nerd is a person who obsesses over comics, movies, games and anime and stuff of that nature to the point that it's ridiculous and pathetic. In the context of this comment section, it seems as nerd means a person who doesn't like drinking and getting high and is somewhat of an asshole about it.

I don't think I truly did anything nerdy. But I am interested in classical literature and other great books that bear an actual meaning behind them.

@Harold you've never used reddit huh? Reddit.com/r/iamverybadass is where you post photos and videos of people who think they're bad ass and aren't

@Amira Oh wise one, how does one seek the truth?  Oh by reading the Bible?  What other fairytales must I believe in to not be so "corrupt"?

Yeah I know they both existed, but the stories of Jesus were all made up, and Saint Nick of yesterday is different from Saint Nick of today.

So you've given me some advise, I'll return the favor by suggesting you read science books instead of fairytales like the Bible.  You really would learn a lot of truth about how the world works.

@O K Everything13ish, Frederick Douglas and Jamoses are just a few people to name who seem to care about what you say. I’m not saying you don’t bench 255lbs, I’m saying I don’t believe you do. Even if you did, noone would care. You can be a nerd and still be built like a truck.

@Harold what is there to believe or not to believe about my claims? The only thing might be that benching part, but who cares about that? It's also not a big deal because there's plenty of people who bench 255lbs for reps like it's nothing. It doesn't matter and nobody cares anyways. It was just my response to some totally-not-a-nerd calling me a nerd.

@Everything13ish more like r/iamautistic

@Everything13ish more like r/iamautistic

@Bronco Belligerence Jesus and Saint Nick are real historical figures who existed. Guess someone doesn’t know their history. Jesus is the most written about and studied figure in history. Maybe if you would actually do your research and stop listening to modern society which is evidently corrupt and trying to follow trends, you would find out the truth yourself

@Amira Not remotely comparable?  Both are imaginary figures introduced to kids at a young age to help them develop.  Saint Nick was created to motivate kids to behave meanwhile god/jesus/the bible were all made up to tell kids how to behave.  Far as I can tell the only difference is that people eventually become smart enough to stop believing in Saint Nick, but few are smart enough to stop believing in god.  Guess that's what people mean when they say everyone still has a bit of child still in them.

@Bronco Belligerence God and Saint Nick are not even remotely comparable but go off

@Bronco Belligerence God and Saint Nick are not even remotely comparable but go off

@Frederick Douglass Not my main point but yeah I suppose you could say that.

@Frederick Douglass Not my main point but yeah I suppose you could say that.

@Jamoses it's not about being tough, heck, I would never know if y'all are millions of times toughter than I'll ever be. (Not that I am particurarly "tough" anyways, I'm just a kid.) I don't claim I could kick anybodys ass, but if someone wants to kick my ass I can offer them the opportunity.

@O K So what you're saying is that you're judgmental.

@USE THE SPORK I didn't say he's a radical. I said that people with those political compasses as their profile picture are usually radicals, because politics has consumed a massive chunk of their lives.

@You Have Great Balls, I’m jelly I'm surprised that a supposed conservative is unhappy with me making conservative decisions. This "nerd" right here is 17 years old and benches 255 pounds. Are you going to tell me how doing drugs and otherwise partaking in degenerate lifestyle is a good choice?

Sounds like your story is full of holes AND I AIN'T BUYING IT!!1!

I almost flipped a table when the guy said "thank you" to the detective lying to him about evidence and locking him up, then I heard he got out in 3 days with $46,000 for his troubles. Hell, I'd say thank you too! 😅

Wait what? I need to start interrogating by police officers and getting wrongfully convicted

I know. This makes me so happy to see. That guy was such a stand up person, and is now sitting on a decent chunk of change. Thank God the cops were demoted and suspended.


Been in this position. Just did 9 years for a crime I didnt commit. Police refused to talk to any one of my 4 alibis, suspect was described as 5'9 with brown eyes and no tattoos, I'm 6'5 with tattoos. A gun was never recovered even after I cooperated with the police to search my place. There was a picture that didnt match my face. But all they need is a witness pointing you out. $30k in appeals doesnt help unless the appeals court finds a problem with court procedure. I had facial recognition expert and alibi testimony ready to go back into court but it never happened. You basically are guilty until proven innocent and even then that doesn't work. All the court needs is 12 idiots who dont want to be there in the first place to believe an eyewitness

Dude I would absolutely sue the Heck of every single one of them involved and with no mercy wtf 9 Years knowing ur totally innocent and with Witness and more and even u did the mistake to cooperated with them and still they didn't want to look at ur case fuk that I would Absolutely sue the heck of them  in every single posible way that could exist in this world

Funny thing is by putting away innocent people they create a possibility for a new criminal. I’d go on a murder spree against those that put me away if that were me. Hope you’re doing well

If this guy was given $46K (!!!) in punitive damages, for 3.5 days in jail...... I'd love to hear that you're pursuing a lawsuit for your 9 years.

@Tom As That's what jail does to you... It changes you. At least that's what I've heard. It doesn't mean he did it. What would he gain from sharing his story anonymously and saying he's innocent? He's already been in jail so it's not like it will help him in any way.<br>You don't know him or the case, you can't make assumptions whether he did it or not, based on his profile picture (which is probably a result of trauma that he experienced in jail).

@Edward Miessner you missunderstand we have jury just that they are mad out of judges (to rule out cheap manipulative tacticts) but yeah the US has quiet the problem with police biece, brutality and so on which is close to a non issue here.

@Alyssa Louard Understandably, but 9 years taken away have no compensation, really :(

@That1Snowyguy or worse they get suborned by the cops

@That1Snowyguy or worse they get suborned by the cops

@Apophis40K in the US a jury trial is always better than a bench trial (single judge). Conviction rates are always higher in a bench trial because the judge is frequently biased in favor of the cops

@Tom As no it looks like a fake from Madame Tussaud's. He probably posted it as a metaphor for what they did to his life.

Man that is just horrible, I mean wicked bad! The only thing worse that I could imagine other than falsely convicted of murder or sex crimes is being assaulted by the cops and then convicted of the crimes they committed against you. Hope you're all right now.

@FlatRangeOperator yeah try suing a huge subsection of the government, especially when a lot of the best lawyers in the world have prison money in their pockets

Sounds like american court system is garbage. I wouldnt know im from germany

Sounds like american court system is garbage. I wouldnt know im from germany

You and 99% of every other inmate in prison. Lol. GTFO here! I don't buy your story at all.

Glad you’re home my guy!!! The law is trash

Glad you’re home my guy!!! The law is trash

This is my biggest fear, serving time for something I didn’t do. And also the fact that the person who did whatever it is gets to live their stupid life...I’m so sorry this happened to you, and I wish there was a way to give you back what was stolen from you.

I don't even know why they trust eye witnesses so often. Most of the time they're wrong asf and I feel like most if them feel pressured to pick someone from the lineup as if they have to

I'm so sorry. You should get a bilion dollars for everything that you've been through.

I’m so sorry to hear this. Makes me angry. So sorry for this, man. That is so wrong and so not fair

I would recommend you to find the media and expose your story to the public. That’s the only way for the authority to take you seriously.

@Tom As you don't even know the crime they where convicted of. Also, it's art, a drawing. Not a real dead body. Even though it is grotesque to look at, yeesh.

I'm terribly sorry. Being falsely accused of a crime is one of my worst fears. I hope healing and happiness comes your way. I'm very sorry.

You should also sue your lawyer. Didn't seem like they worked hard enough for you

You should also sue your lawyer. Didn't seem like they worked hard enough for you

I hope your doing good mentally as well as with covid at the moment brother, im sorry you were let down

That's super fucked, I'd be so pissed and down about this, Jesus.<br>Hope you're doing a lot better now man, the justice system is so flawed.

And this is why my country does not use a joury of random people but judges.

Sounds like you had a lousy lawyer - also did you get a jury trial.  I think it would be hard for at least one of twelve people to ignore the facts.  You gotta focus all your energy on that one witness who claimed they saw you?  Did he get leniency?  Did they do a fair line up?

Lawsuit seems like a good path to go down

@FlatRangeOperator not really. They might give you some money or some shit like that but your life is ruined at that point

@Spider It could be absolutely true. Who are you to say that it didn’t. 🙄

@Spider It could be absolutely true. Who are you to say that it didn’t. 🙄

there are many advocacy group or even well known law firm specialized in wrongly accused crime, reach out for them, you'll be a millionaire

It's kinda sad you are making up a story that actually happens to people for clout.

It's kinda sad you are making up a story that actually happens to people for clout.

Well seeing as they destroyed nine years of your life under the circumstances that you were wrongfully convigted, you should sue them, even if they were "nice" or not, sue them. You might not be about money and what not, however, that's nine years. All gone. All because they just wanted to do the job "quick".

I would sue the ever living shit for emotional damages for everything you have gone through. That is such bullshit.

Eyewitness Testimonies are so immensely unreliable now that anyone actually competent at their job won't use them as the core of their accusation. I can't believe that this kind of shit still happens. I hope you were able to recover from this grave offense - these people are meant to find the actual perpetrator(s), not get rid of the case asap.

Sorry bro. You must spread your story 🙏🏻

Sorry bro. You must spread your story 🙏🏻

Im sorry for your misfortune, I hope justice prevails and they get what they deserve for their negligence

Man every time I think I got it bad I come across a story like this. Praying for you man. Glad you’re home..

im sorry man, i hope youre doing well now!

im sorry man, i hope youre doing well now!

i hope youre doing ok! you didnt deserve any of that.

i hope youre doing ok! you didnt deserve any of that.

Cant you sue the fuck out of them if proven innocent? Also exonerated?

Cant you sue the fuck out of them if proven innocent? Also exonerated?

damn man, im sorry to hear about that. how've you been holding up after all this shit happened to you?


As former police officer here is my advice : " Am I allowed to leave?  No? Then I want an attorney and do not wish to make any statements at this time".

@Lets Get it In Canada you don't have the right to have an attorney present during questioning. You have the right to talk to one on the phone but that's it. You can refuse to talk though.

When you choose not to speak unless you have an attorney - from what I’ve seen in these videos- the guys just keep asking questions and never seem to respect wanting an attorney 😂😂

amen! i dont understand why they are even talking! as soon as the officer said "its not a matter of if but why" i would of stfu and lawyered up!

@Probably_tryna_ sleep Thanks for that! Freakin hilarious.

Tom seguras bit on the first 48 kinda covers this a little... Dude's fuckin hilarious


Shame on the police detective.  Shame on him.  LIAR.  LIAR.


In America he would have gone to prison for years and the cops would have been promoted.


"So you don't have any concrete evidence that you are innocent?"

lol is that how this works now?


“All evidence points to you it doesn’t matter what you think” bro could’ve asked the bus driver right there and would’ve saved his detective career

Ignored the call for the police saying it was a short white man and not a tall black dude. Sucked in copper

The detective didn't know to ask the bus driver because he didn't even ask if there was someone to talk to.


I feel so bad for these people. Trying their best to protect themselves but noone listens, and they get locked away by random choice.

@Squidward I can understand the meaning, but grammatically it makes no sense. Not sure if it was poor writing or if it's just English grammar. If I would translate it to my native language, this phrase would have no meaning. Have a good one! Cheers

@Yuri Guiguer
What does locked away by random choice means? - They was at the wrong place at the wrong time, out of their control, random.

And who got locked up? - I'm pretty sure they said the guy in the thumbnail was locked up for 2 years

Also the cops were listening to every single word they were saying. - One of them was trying to say that it wasn't him, but the interigator was saying "I don't want to hear that you didn't do it. Tell me why."

Hope that helps.

@Squidward what does locked away by random choice means? And who got locked up?  Also The cops were listening to every single word they were saying.

@Yuri Guiguer I guess, how does it not make sense?

This comment makes no sense.. did we watch the same video?

@Yuri Guiguer What are you wating about?


I read the title as "Gay until proven innocent". That's why I clicked lmao


If I was being interrogated and the cop said “We have your DNA at the crime scene and we have you on camera.” I would simply say “So you wouldn’t mind showing me the evidence, right?”

@Gustavo de Anapolis amazing what us police is allowed to do. Really fucked up, if thats true

@Gustavo de Anapolis Big difference between actually being guilty and falling for a trap and actually being innocent and having evidence fabricated. They didn't need a picture of his shoes to fabricate evidence they needed a picture of his shoe to complete evidence.

If the guy was innocent then "Oh material from his shoes was found at the crime scene" is a flimsy way of putting somebody at a crime scene, seeing as how I have 4 duplicate pairs of shoes and most if not ALL my shoes are made from the same material. If I have 4 pairs of the same shoe, who's to say 4 different people don't have a single pair of the same shoe?

@Gustavo de Anapolis I have 600 pairs of shoes, they going to have trouble pinning that one down. Maybe my boots, not my shoes.

@Gwynbleidd That's what I've been trying to say. During an investigation don't be right, be smart. Don't say a word except "lawyer", and ESPECIALLY don't say any of the paragraphs written in this thread detailing how you're innocent and the police are dumb.

Don't talk to the police if they're trying to charge you with a serious crime. Only talk to a lawyer.

@Aldo Hernandez Exactly. If he has him on video and he's clearly guilty what is the reason for talking? "I'm not saying another word until I am represented by an attorney, and that's final." Then shut your mouth, easier said than done though..

“Why are you here then? Why do you need me to confess?”

You all acting tough on the internet and that's fine, but I sincerely hope you won't do that should you ever get arrested. From the moment you're in cuffs you say NOTHING until you see a lawyer, The only exception being to ask them where is your lawyer. Don't argue with the investigators, they do it professionally and they'll be able to twist anything you say in order to incriminate you.

Listen Officer, you’re making a serious career altering mistake. Before that happens I strongly encourage you to check my alibis and the evidence. I’m trying to do you a favor here, don’t be to proud to accept it. If I’m wrong you can always get a warrant. I don’t want to have to sue the city.

@Epsilon Adept  In most countries if you're being arrested and you can't hire your own lawyer you can get a government paid public defender to help you not to say something stupid in your investigation, and if they decide to press charges the public defender will defend you in court.

@Guy Fogel How does it work? You can immediately get a new lawyer presented to you? How much do you need to pay later? How long until that expires and you get arrested for not paying, in which you get another lawyer, just kidding. xDD

@Daggerman105 - "Then before we proceed any further I'm going to need to contact a lawyer so their office can get the paperwork rolling to review the imaginary evidence you clearly do not have.

While I'm on the phone to my attorney feel free to get the closest thing you have to a competent coworker to start checking my iron clad alibi.

Rest assured though by this time tomorrow we will have the undeniable evidence to show that you are either incompetent, or a liar."

@Guy Fogel. Very true. Especially when the investigators are assholes. They will try to twist and turn anything you say.

The only word that should come out of your mouth is "lawyer"!


Even as an introvert myself, I do not believe I could be as calm as this guy being blatantly lied to in front of his own eyes. I’d end up flipping out.

I'm guessing he had the belief that because of his innocence there was no way he would be jailed. People that never had any interactions with 'justice' are often led to believe by the state itself that the court will make it so that you are innocent until proven guilty. In reality PEOPLE that make BIG mistakes are behind this system.

Introverts attempt to rationalize their way out of situations. This is what he is doing throughout the video.<br>Where the introvert flips 180 degrees is when they rationalize there is blatant and purposeful mischief being portrayed against them. He felt the investigator was simply doing his job, even though he was wrong, and wasn't purposely being mischievous. If he would have known the suspect's description was a short white guy he probably would have seen the investigator as being purposely mischievous...

@Biscuffer im an introvert and yes this is true for me, I can take alot of shit but if I break I break completely.


Demoted? Why not fired? How incompetent must a police officer be to lose his job?

One cop literally killed a kid who held his hands up in the air after being scared and trying to run away. People defend the guy saying it was a stressful situation and even say he should get a vacation.

@ParaFaust wym heard of theirs so much proof it’s a known fact 😂

I dunno man I've heard of officers shooting people and still not getting fired


"The interrogating officer and three other investigators were all demoted and suspended without pay"<br>That was satisfying to hear.

"The interrogating officer and three other investigators were all demoted and suspended without pay"
That was satisfying to hear.

Yes it was. It was also nice to see that Michael took the law enforcement agency (or city) to court and was awarded damages.

@Johnny De Leon Depends on WHICH state, obviously...
also depends on which county as well..
for that matter, depends on what town/city you're talking about...
Now you brought it up, how your local police behave was totally your own fault because YOU elected the Sheriff/Mayor/City Councilmen and weren't paying attention to who you were voting for!

Thats how you know that wasnt in the states


Imagine feeling so helpless KNOWING you hadn’t done it and that you were probably going to jail for something you didn’t do? <br>This shit happens way too often. Our justice system needs an overhaul. So many innocent people sitting in jail. Travesty. This literally could happen to any of us.
