Let me get this straight. The cops are chasing a man who was caught robbing a jewelry store. They chase the small white man down the alley, lose sight of him for a second, then they regain sight of him and he's magically a 6'3 black man?

@Samuel Rodriguez it is how it works bro. You just wrote a paragraph explaining how I'm right 🤦🏼♂😂

@Samuel Rodriguez it is how it works bro. You just wrote a paragraph explaining how I'm right 🤦🏼♂😂

@Markus that's not how that works bro. All humans were tribalistic. Black people were colonized and enslaved and basically forced to play the game at a disadvantage. If you live in an all white neighborhood in the south and you see a black person for the first time it's very likely considering there is not social science class or anything that you will view them subconsciously as different. Its just how biology works. Racism can also be displayed through class. Poor people are looked down as dirty and vulgar and black people tend to be poorer because again they are put at a disadvantage because of their spawn point in life basically.

@Teq oh wait… NOTHING is allowed to fit within the definition of racism anymore. Even the most obvious racist shitty behaviour (not saying this is an example of that) is responded to with “OMG EVERYTHING HAS TO BE RACIST NOWADAYS” no it’s just a pretty reasonable takeaway from the situation

@Teq it’s by definition an unjust arresting anyway- they had a visual on somebody who was white and shorter but the first black dude they saw they immediately detained and tried to shut the case instantly.

What if… the cops could have some incompetency and also are genuinely bad people trying to convict an innocent black person?

No the cop was so NOT racist he didn't distinguish between a 6'3 black man and a small white man. The officers should have been commended!

@Silaaron no operator allows a person to be non descriptive as emergency calls are life and death

A supervisor would pull them and have them retrained immediately and all phone calls are recorded

It’s in their training to get info from the person so they can dispatch with info

This includes making people repeat and go into detail while stressing the person be calm

Dispatchers do not rush conversations or gloss over

The operator heard white, dispatched looking for white, officer chased white and arrested black. Interrogator ignored notes and told the man he’s guilty with NO interrogation

End of story

@Gavin Riley no they don’t

He literally ignored the report handed to him with the info

They are people, not robots.

In addition a detective/investigator is supposed to be more educated than a beat/traffic cop having degrees and/or certifications

That’s not what happened.  And look at all the ignorant people crying racism. Get over it, that’s not an issue to any real extent at all.

@Guytrash Gurtdog How? What, are all factory workers for Nestle bad now because of the stuff Nestle has done? Cops are just trying to make a living and serve justice, there’s just a very small amount that are cruel, power abusing, and bad. Cops keep so much bad shit from happening to you and me, they keep horrible people from roaming the streets, yet you still mark all of them as evil and disgusting… My brother has been in the Army for a little while and is trained to be a police officer. He has a family (me included, obviously), friends, he’s in no way cruel or wrongdoing. Why do you hate your protectors and try to treat them this way?

What is there to get straight? Happens all the time. Ok, it took Michael Jackson years for his transformation, this guy obviously had better surgical care, and damn they were fast!

He's fairly pale skinned for a black guy and, at night, coming out of an alley into a street with different lighting... I can see how they could be confused. The height difference seems much harder to understand but between distance, perspective... even  that may be possible. I'm 6'4'' but when I run I lean forward and seem shorter. The Police may have overcompensated for that.

What gets me is the claim of security camera footage. That footage, if it exists, should be all the proof needed to clear things up. Either there was no footage, the footage was too poor quality to tell the difference between two radically different men or the video was clear and the detective didn't care or didn't check.

Three days to check? I'm guessing the answer was number one, no video.

I think what happened was they got called and chanced the guy down the ally they probably didn’t hear the discription until later but doesn’t defend the detective

probably they couldnt see through the holes in thier hoods

@Gavin Riley Even officers that are people of color can interalize racist behaviors, even when they are directed at people of the same background, from their peers, training and just general societal conditioning.

Further, Discrimination in the Justice system on a systemic and far-reaching scale isn't up for debate, not really. It's a statistical fact; people of color are disproportionately falsely accused, arrested and convicted.

I as a 200 pound white man was arrested when police were looking for a small mexican teenager.

@Paul Beazer that's effing disingenuous to say that. First of all, a study from 2012 shows, indeed, that there are between 5000 and 10000 wrongful convictions. You choosing the upper number is intellectually dishonest.

But pretending that these wrongful convictions are solely based on the fact that cops doesn't give a f*ck about the truth is a non-sense. A good part, if not the majority, of these wrongful convictions may also come from wrongful accusations (like the angry "burglar" in the video, and if you have no proof of innocence and an history with the police, good luck!). Sometimes there are some unfortunate cases of bad place bad time. Is there some officers who would knowingly arrest an innocent for any reason (racism, chance of promotion, laziness,...), of course, and they should be treated as the 3 officers of the video. But depicting the "wrongful conviction" as biased as you do won't help anyone.

And for the people claiming it's certainly because of racism, that's a trial of intent. Unless you're inside the head of these officers, you have no idea what motivated their actions. As JCS said, having a confession can help having a promotion.

@Teq >Oh wait... ALL COPS are bad right.

@e13kid Nah they think “Well the cop didn’t call him the hard r and didn’t hang him from a tree behind the precinct so there’s no evidence for racism.”

They have their own standard for what constitutes as “racism” and are continually moving the goalpost and have this weird obsession for trying to disprove racism as if it doesn’t exist.

Many cops don't care if they catch the right person if they can get an easy conviction. There are an estimated 10k innocent people convicted in the US every year. The cops that arrest them don't get vilified and some of them are probably decent cops that thought they got the right person, but this guy knows he's lying in the interrogation. He blatantly says he's seen the guy on a video camera and yet the call was for a small white man... well, imo, the cop should be in prison for fraud.

@Gavin Riley you republicans always want to ignore racism

@Teq Ofc not. But the fact that most cops are good doesn’t change the fact that many departments have systemic issues, resulting in racism and enabling the behavior of a bad few.

@Teq You do understand that ACAB means the SYSTEM the cops are apart of is racist. Not that every single individual cop is a racist/corrupt. It's not rocket science, it's not that hard to comprehend. They KNEW they were chasing a WHITE GUY then magically they just decide to pick up this black guy, how do you perceive no racisim in that?

@True Stark PREACH my dude, fucking preach. ACAB doesn't mean that EVERY individual cop is a bastard and/or corrupt. It means that the entire system they are apart of is corrupt and horribly racist. It's much worse in Southern US states as well where a large amount of the local population is at least moderately racist. It's extremely fucked up and we need to FIX IT.

@Gavin Riley nobody is trained that way that's not how racism works my man. People can be racist subconsciously without even realizing its attributed to evolutionary traits from when we were tribes it's natural to look at strangers with care and concern.

@Samuel Rodriguez
Saying cops are trained to target a certain group in our society is idiotic and damaging to communities.

It doesn't matter if the officer is not white, even black officers have confessed that they are often trained/pressured/conditioned to treat black people as more of a threat than non black citizens. Whole studies have been done proving how systemic racism is in law enforcement practices.

My guess? They were chasing agent 47 and he slipped into a new disguise just in time for them to see this bald guy and arrest him instead. A real 500iq silent assassin move.

"Getting a confession void of evidence is in fact an excellent for an investigator's career. Its a mark of merit and can accelerate promotion."  I think this is a serious issue that needs to be avoided to avoid such tragedies.

Not only that but it should be a punishable crime to arrest, accuse, or convict someone on something they didn't do for everyone involved including the prosecutor and the judge. If that was the case you bet your ass they would make damn sure they have the right person and they would take "innocent until proven guilty beyond all doubt" much more seriously. When people have skin in the game they're not gonna be so quick to over look or presume things they aren't certain about.  Even the f jury should be punished if a wrongful conviction is proven.

If you watch other videos you will see how it can be done right such as with Chris Watts, they had no evidence to pin it on him yet they got him to confess to the crime. It should be encouraged but straight up fabricating and lying for no reason should not be tolerated.

All of this because the cops need to try and justify their paychecks to their superiors!

I think it's fine, but there should be second detective, or i guess inspector, who checks if a detective does his job properly, and who gets high salary and bonuses for exposing corrupt (I mean state of mind, not only one, who takes bribes) detectives. Unfortunately there might be not enough hands for such job

@877-Cash-Now Yep, I'm gonna be honest, I know the "ACAB" thing gets a bad rap because people will call up some positive experience they had with a cop, but from my experience they pretty much all have a strong "us vs them" mentality when it comes to people they view as "criminals". They'll be perfectly cordial up until you've been accused of something, and then you're obviously slime and deserve nothing. Cops can be perfectly polite to their friends and family, but anyone who's ever been on the other end of an interrogation room knows that doesn't mean jack shit. They don't like to even entertain the idea that they could possibly be wrong, they always act as if they're right and the only obstacle is proving it. They don't even seem shaken up when they learn that the person they tried to frame was actually fully exonerated, to them innocence is not a defense since you probably did something else anyway. Falsifying evidence is extremely common, as is harassment and trying to illicit false confessions. Policing in general needs a major cultural and procedural shift if they're ever going to gain people's trust again.

This but something that wasn’t mentioned- getting a conviction in general is always good for the LO, regardless of whether it was wrongful or not. The more ‘criminals’ you help put away the further your career is gonna go. Never listen when the police say they have nothing to gain from you or anything along those lines.

My thoughts exactly... Sounds like something that literally motivates to frame people. I mean if you truly believe someone is guilty based on the interrogation so far and the evidence at hand then it's very natural to try to get the confession. There is no point to motivate investigators to get one without this hunch. Really a mind-boggling thing.


The most shocking part of this story is that the government employees involved in victimizing this man were actually punished.

Qualified immunity should be a crime and everyone who's ever relied on it should be tossed in prison.

@Rafplayz i was gonna say the same thing

@Dan Corder yeah, but i've noticed a difference in the way police misconduct is handled on the police station's side here and in the united states

@Rafplayz doesn't matter, lack of accountability for government enforcers is a worldwide problem

Wouldn't be a famous case if they weren't- it'd just be swept under a rug, and nobody would look into it ever again.


Please don’t ever talk to police without a lawyer present. Imagine being 100% totally innocent and serving the rest of your life in prison because of something stupid that you said.

@B good luck with that. Two years in prison, then expect another 3-5 years dealing with courts to be offered a shit settlement that most lawyers will tell u to take.

@B the guy who went to prison for 2 years didn’t get any money and the first one got lucky and got 46k ion what you talking about

Sounds like a pay day for me! Whether it’s a year or two in prison it’s worth the millions for me and my family. Fucckkkk yeah!


My daughter found a wallet and took it to the police station.  The owner reported it stolen and estimated he had a couple hundred dollars in it.  When the police counted the money it was $170 and change.  The police threatened to charge her for theft of the $30 difference.  She never even looked in the wallet so had no idea how much was in it.  She became terrified, the police then took her in an interview room and handcuffed her, after questioning her for about an hour or so, they let her go.  She cried on and off for two days, she was 16.  She will never hand in lost items again, when she found a handbag, she left it where it was, she no longer trusts the police.

Years ago when I worked as a cashier at a gas station I found a wallet in the parking lot and turned it in to the next cop who came in. The following day they tried to arrest me for theft because when the guy picked up his wallet it was empty of cash. Unlucky for them, I purposefully opened the wallet and showed the cash still in it on our security cam that was right over the regiester as I handed it over. Yep... the cops swiped the cash, of course nothing happened with that but at least I didn't get arrested.

i am so sorry this happened to your girl. I really really hope and wish she has come out of that trauma.

lol tell her to grow up 16 ffs cried on and of LMFAOOOOO

Shows how dumb police really are. If you were going to steal any amount, you wouldnt hand it in in the first place.
Where is the logic of finding valuables and to think I'll hand it into police but I'll keep some of it. Either you take it all or not at all. Why take 30 when you can have 200. Makes no logical sense.

If the person reported it was 'estimated' to be 200 then 170 and change is close enough to be an estimate. They didnt know EXACTLY how much they had.
Not only that but she should be getting rewarded for handing it in as the person got their money back. They could have lost the lot.

@toshineon well to answer your question, we’d have a situation where the punishment wouldn’t meet the crime for lots of things. Heck any area can just decide that death would be a punishment for any crime and there’d be nothing to keep them in check. I do agree there are issues with the system, but no system is perfect and it’s better than the alternative of such a phenomenon.

@tatt4music it's true, it happened to her.

Poor baby! SMH she believed she was doing the right thing and was punished for it! I hope she’s okay now ❤

I wonder what it would look like if the police was dismantled. Not defunded or whatever, but completely dismantled and removed.

I honestly don't understand why on earth you would bring it to a police station, a good deed never goes unpunished so it would seem.

@tatt4music Sounds like her daughter knows the exact truth. She's not wrong at all.

You may wanna sit down with her and give her the facts. Otherwise you are allowing her to believe something that isn’t true.

God, that’s awful. I hope your daughter is doing okay.


i feel so bad for the one guy who turned his life around only to be wrongfully charged.

He should of known better, after being through the system. ANY time police ask u a question, your only response should be “I want a lawyer present for any and all questions”.

@Chelsea Hardy people rarely get a dime, if they do it is much less than you would expect for losing years of your life.

@Andrew McIntosh probably because of his past arrest they did it to prevent hostility, or thats what I assumed anyway this could be total bs idk

@kat king and it's the goodies responsibility to get them out of the department. good cops dont let bad cops be cops.

@Salem Crow  allowing cops expelled from one force to simply hop on over to another, isn't a systemic issue because it doesn't happen often, and it doesn't happen everywhere. The number of times this occurs versus the total number of officers serving must be an incredibly tiny fraction. I've only heard of something like that happening a couple of times. I don't pay a great deal of attention to it though, so, it might happen much more frequently than I'm aware of. If you have any data or statistics on the subject, I'd be happy to look over your sources to potentially update my understanding of it.

Regarding your comment to kk, I very much agree that anyone holding a position of authority and/or power should be held to a higher standard. Those who enforce the laws we citizens must abide by, must abide by them as well. If an officer violates the law, he violates our trust in his ability to enforce the law in a just and fair-minded manner. And the consequence of undermining the public's trust in our police forces, is that it can quickly lead to the destabalization of the inherent security of the communities in which we live. The police are necessary - vitally. While there will always be bad actors which find their way into positions of power, there will always be exponentially more bad actors amongst us in the population at large. Bad actors amongst the police can, like you said, completely ruin someone's life; perhaps extending that ruin to others in their family. How many more lives are ruined by the criminals walking around in public with us though? Orders of magnitude, I would say. And how many ruined lives would there be if the police didn't exist at all? I don't even want to try to imagine what that world looks like tbh..

@kat king They are people with flaws, but in their position of power and authority, they should be (and are) absolutely aware that their bad decisions and judgements can fucking ruin someone's life, if not a generation of that person's family.

They have significantly more accountability on their shoulders. They should be treated as such.

@SineEyed 2020 I disagree, there are some issues that lie in the system itself. Like allowing cops expelled from one force to simply hop on over to another.

There was a case where one guy was supposed to be in prison for like 16 years, but got out early due to a clergical error. Upon release, he got his life together, started a family, and was living happily, until the day he was set for release when police went to get him and, well. He wasn't, obviously. I can't recall exactly what happened to him, but it was overall good for him. If anything happened, at maximum he had to spend like 2 more months or years in jail.

her boyfriend beat her up so to cover it up she accused Justin of breaking in and robbing and assaulting her. The boyfriend wasn't supposed to be around her already and she didn't want him to get in trouble again so she had to blame Justin of doing it.

I hate to say it but most law enforcement are kind of lazy when it comes to catching criminals. Real life is the opposite of TV. They look for the easiest target and if they can make it stick, case closed. They don’t have time to spend a week or longer on one case unless it’s a high profile thing so either they just won’t make any headway or pin it on whoever makes the most sense - if they don’t have a good lawyer, well prisons stay full. From my personal experience as a victim of a hit and run - the police were 100% not interested in doing any work to find who did it because I didn’t do half the work for them by getting the license plate- I just had a description of the vehicle and that was too much work for them.

@edicius Those that have husbands instead (unless they have both).

Always ask for a lawyer, even if you’re innocent . Never talk directly to the cops.
They are NOT your friend.

@cmrn I agree that there are plenty of issues, and many unjust things occur within the justice system. But that will always be the case in any system which has humans operating within it.
I disagree that the system lets them get away with it. Even in this video that idea is shown not to be true.
I reject your claim of there being broken mechanisms and incentives which encourage individuals to conduct themselves outside of the rules of the system. That is unless you can provide evidence for such things, or at least point to something specific I could investigate on my own.
If you have no evidence, you have no claim..

@SineEyed 2020 The system allows said dishonest individuals to get away with such behaviour, and in some cases even encourages it with broken mechanisms and incentives.

Coercing false confessions, the presumption of guilt without investigation, mandatory minimums, evidence tampering, junk-science 'expert testimony', falsified reporting etc etc etc.

I am not making a political statement and am not at all on the 'acab' bandwagon - this is a real problem that affects Americans of all walks of life, but particularly low-socioeconomic. It is built into the system.

When I was a teen, I saw a cop on tv said: "NEVER TRUST A COP.  They are not your friend.  They will Lie to you."  Remember your rights:  You have the RIGHT to remain SILENT.  ANYTHING you SAY can and will be used AGAINST you.

The Quarantined Artist a flawed system sure it is but lumping all into one is a dangerous game you don’t want to go down that road it won’t end well for any of us .

@cmrn the problem is with dishonest individuals. It isn't systemic..

kat king None are good because even the good ones protect a flawed system

That's how it goes unfortunately for us.

@Andrew McIntosh because he served 2 years in county jail for previous crime, handcuffing him was probably standard procedure.

R.C. Whitehead police are people we all have flaws;) most are good the badys are very very bad

I hope that dude got fucking millions and is living a happy life. I feel sick seeing his panic. Been there, hate that.

Anybody  else find it strange that that guy was in handcuffs in the interrogation room?  Usually they at least wait until after the interview to cuff him.

I could feel his emotions, hard not to get upset knowing this happened to him and will continue to happen to innocent people.

Yeah this happens way too often. There was another man who tried to turn his life around and started a family only to be wrongfully accused of murder and sentenced to life in prison.

Wish I knew who he was so I could send him a card.   Luckily I’ve never had this happen legally, but in my engineering career, coworkers’ ethics has been a huge issue for me.   It’s like people are happily and willingly delusional because it “gets the job done”


Man..had full on PTSD about going back to prison, you could hear it in his voice. And the fact he went to prison for two years after that for something he didn’t do, just makes this interrogation hurt so much worse.

Maybe he was on probation and they said he violated it, not Canadian but that is how it works in the US.


This happened to a friend of mine. He was innocently imprisoned for a year, and trials afterwards didn't clear his name up to this day. It's been 19 years ever since. Screw Justice.

@JD Hayward I pray you don't get falsely accused of anything, my friend.

"My innocent friend was found guilty at trial, innocently imprisoned, and multiple appeals processes STILL found him guilty! It's almost as if he was actually guilty of the crime (of which he was innocent), but he wasn't for some reason! Screw justice!"

justice is a good thing. lack of justice isnt

@Killer Rabbit he was out after one year.


I feel like the level of anger from the second guy is increased even more simply from him knowing the amount of work he put into to get away from that life so that he’ll never end up being put back in prison… Only to be falsely accused and have to risk being put in prison again for something he didn’t even do. Its like a sick prank on him to make him feel like he’s always at risk of being put back in jail no matter how hard he tries to be a good person.

That's Catch-22. In order to be not guilty you must be innocent. But if you've been found guilty before you're hardly innocent now, are you? Bake him away, toys!

One trust the police will do their job the othe one knows the system already.

Unfortunately, that's how the system treats people.  I know a lot of people from halfway houses that worked for my old employer.  They swear that Parole Officers set you up for failure by not telling you of certain dates you must appear.


This “detective” is such an arrogant, smug douchebag. “The evidence is paramount” “I know you did it so I’m not even going to ask” then says “it’s my job to find out if what we were talking about is actually true”. Fire this man and review all past convictions he covered.

Luckily at the end of the video it says they were demoted and suspended without pay. Idk how long the suspension was for obviously but at least that's good, and glad the guy got a solid 50k out of his ordeal.

@aah qaak I agree to some of your points but don't act like they don't have that power to set them free. Also they have to interview or interrogate a lot of people sometimes. Do you think they're there to arrest everybody? Imo They are just as guilty as the people who arrested him which is probably why they were demoted too

@Jabox and the bag His job is to create the highest % chance and highest sentence for conviction

If he's guilty or innocent was up to whoever sent him in there

@aah qaak "bro it's not a job for plumbers to fix your toilet"

@aah qaak what? That's literally his job

@aah qaak is is his job to review the evidence, which he didn’t do and acted like he did, saying it was “paramount” and “conclusive”.

bro it's not his job to work out if someone's guilty or innocent


“Wrongfully imprisoned for just over two years.”

That breaks my heart.

It happens ALL the time. Especially in the US. I’ve seen stats that say MOST people in jail don’t have a trial date set. That’s county jail not prison.

@Fu*k Poe's Law! Exactly mate, I'd have the biggest shit eating grin in this situation.  "Oh, tell me more mate because I could use the money".

It happens more than you would think and a lot of times it's done with plea bargaining. you can get people to admit to things they never did if you threaten them with enough jail time and convince them that fighting it is hopeless and will get them even more time.
Taking it to court becomes gambling with years of your life.
This happened to my cousin. They told him he could get 20 years and really, what he did was not what he was charged with.
He did SOMETHING, but not nearly the charge they convinced him to plea to.

His public defender should have helped him, but I think you'll find that the public defender does not give a shit about anything but getting a check and pleaing you out.

@Lauren Eliza he wasn't in prison for two years

@Lauren Eliza he wasn't in prison for two years

Especially when he said that he had turned his life around. I felt so bad that he was wrongfully in prison for two years after working so hard to be a better person.

Man deserves atleast 2 years wages.   Right fucking now and a written apology to everyone they took him from.  And that's a fucking bare bare bare bare minimum. You should give him that just so he will go easier on his case against your law enforcement agency

@duskmare0000 I'd feel that way, too, at 18.  I even know people injured in an accident who were happy to get 40K, and guys happy to get a few grand for being hit by a car while riding a bike.  But you really should consider the stresses and time consumed by court/trial, the lawyer's cut (likely 1/3), possibly tax.  As an American, I'm surprised the settlement was so low.

@Fu*k Poe's Law! It's like a bit over 35k us dollars. Lots of the damages were because he wasn't treated decently at all, the interrogator pretty much told him this: "I know you did it based on this evidence which we don't actually have, what other crimes did you do?". Canadians are very polite so this behavior was inexcusable.

@George Actually, that is why the State of Michigan was the first democratically elected government in the world to ban the death penalty.  This occurred in the 1840s.  In Detroit, when a husband was hung because he accidently killed his wife in a drunken fit, he was so remorseful and crying on what he had done that he kept begging forgiveness. The crowd that was watching the execution was greatly affected and saddened.  This was followed later when it came out that an innocent young Detroit man had been tragically executed by the Windsor, Canada authorities just across the Detroit River for killing a young girl.  Soon after, the real murderer was identified and arrested.  Actually, the State of Michigan has never executed anyone.  Any executions occurred before statehood.  This is something for Michigan to be proud of.

@Avenger[K] if he just tells his future employer what happened when asked, (face to face, no email) then he has a nice test against shitty narrowminded employees. The guy doesn't look like he's got to take every little job available.

@Max Pulido You know what, in America your judicial system is so tragically f'd up that I can understand the common man seeing it as the best option to just join the crooked game that has been forced on them, and at least try to win while they're at it. That still leaves the fact that it shouldn't be that way in the first place, and actual change needs to happen somehow. But American lower-middle class civilians, who are among the least free people in the Western world, among the most exploited classes of global society, are so stressed out by the notion of trying to fix anything substantial that they just go with the status quo and act out their frustration towards ambivalent, useless distractions like Antifa and bashing and condemning people who are in another political 'camp' than they are. An American politician's job has been perfectly specialized over the years, into being able to coast on getting people riled up over nonsense that doesn't actually require work or fix any problems ("Economy? Health care? nonono, the real problem is those guys in the middle east, STOP worrying about those complex issues, just blame some group that isn't in my demographic - like those sandn-g--rs who you've never met before and whose children we bomb so the conflict keeps going and they'll stay weak and exploitable for natural resources - we gotta get THEM cause they're out to get you; stop worrying about life in America or your kids will die when Achmed comes rollin round shootin up the school which is definitely not a psychological epidemic we need to address but just evil people that we gotta bash" or "We're gonna get abortion discussions rolling again so them dumb sheep'll fight each other and forget about the way their pensions are taken away, how they're corporate slaves with no freedom of expression - at least until I can get promoted or retire, and then it's the next guy's turn"). I mean when everyone's so busy being angry at half of their countrymen and being convinced that they're pure evil scum just cause they said a word that doesn't fit the new SJW bible, or vice versa, and being on their ipad all day cause they need some distraction but iPads and sports matches only make em more upset and distracted; plus the prescription medication dealers.. I get that you can't fight to be on the high road bro. I couldn't if I lived there at this time. Luckily in The Netherlands we don't need to be litigious because throughout most of our history we've built up organized, free support that actually works, and works quickly, when your rights have been violated. I for instance am appalled at the power that your employers have over your livelihood especially when companies have become so humongous. Of course you have to sue when they can just boot you out of a job for no good reason, and you're the one who has to come up with the defense rather than the other way around. (ofc by 'free' care here I mean it is shared by the people with taxes, which btw are not higher than in America because the gvt screws you out of money, that they can sink into 'homeland security' like the military, meaning they can do and privately own whatever they research because it's state secret 'for your benefit', besides the fact that it doesn't stay at home - because all it gets used for is inciting ehem I mean exploiting cough I mean SPREADING FREEDOM throughout the world).

I don't know about that, I spent 9 hours in a inner city jail as a result of a false claim, and it was hell, I was packed in a room overnight with 10-15 other people laying down on cold concrete clinging to a piece of paper while trying to go to sleep knowing I can't cause I'm too shaken by it all, mad, sad, lost, and confused.

I can only imagine what nightmares he had to endure in 3 days let alone those unfortunate souls that spend years in that horrid environment.

I can honestly see why some falsely accused kill themselves in that place, it's just devoid of all hope, and meaning.

I mean sure he got 40g, but that's only a fair settlement if you've never experienced even an ounce of it yourself, that trauma, and loss of time is hardly something you can quantify with money.

@Magnus Carlsson You kids didnt listen i geuse. He was only in there for 3.5 days. And then another detective got him out by looking att hes aliby and evidence that there was against him. He got 46.000 dollars for the almost 4 days in jail will being innocent.

@Fu*k Poe's Law! He was wrongfully imprisonned and disgustingly judged. He deserved to be paid, obviously. He spent three days in jail for NO REASON. if i was to kidnapp someone and lock them in my basement for 3 days, theres a high chance they'd sue me and get me sent to jail after i had to pay them a lot of money for the emotional damages. Its the same thing here, but its the government locking someone up for no reason and causing distress and emotional damages.

@Clayton Turnbull also my main point is It didn’t have to happen and it shouldn’t have happened it could have easily been avoided with proper due process

@Clayton Turnbull what would I be trolling about ? and oh very funny because I took his 3 year old comment literally your trying to be funny haha there you go you got your laugh can you leave so the actual intelligent people can talk like i really don’t know why your trying to argue the validity of it even the court saw that it was wrong that’s why they were demoted and suspended if you really wanna fight verdict talk to the court not me stop wasting my time

@Kerwyn Telemaque I can not tell if you are trolling or just not the brightest crayon. Before you take that literally, don't.

A lot of misinformation here. 46000 Canadian dollars is roughly 27 cents here in the states. Get it right guys, stop the spread.

@duskmare0000 It wasnt right place at the right time. Please for goodness sake keep in mind that the money was for damages and time lost. You saying right place right time, is like telling someone who got a broken leg from being hit by a car to celebrate. he also didnt just "get" those 46k, he had to sue for those DAMAGES.

@Fu*k Poe's Law! ppl like you will always find a way to excuse a police officers behaviour. disgusting. He was in a jail cell for 3 days without knowing what was going to happen, except he was being charged for a crime he didnt commit. he didnt "get" 46k dollars, he sued the police department to get justice. do you understand that? they werent like: "sorry for the inconvenience, here are 46k bucks". he sued the state. What the officer did was at best egotistical and at worst malicious. both are things that are REALLY not supposed to influence a choice over a persons freedom.

2 years is nothing for some are tortured their whole life

@Fu*k Poe's Law! it was a Civil suit so he probably only saw about $5,000. His lawyers probably got most of it.

@setik You sound like a typically litigious American, trying to squeeze every dime and tear out of the experience.

@setik I'd sit in jail for three days for 48 leafgrand. Put that in the market and you're on the path to retirement.

@Kerwyn Telemaque
1. It was a miscarrage of justice.
2. The detectives involved got demoted
3. The guy got almost 50,000 Canadian dollars.

Wrong place at the wrong time quickly turned into right place at the right time. It would have been unpleasant for those three days but as a result not only did bad investigators get punished, he was also given a huge amount of money. There'd be no controversy over his innocence because he was both freed almost immediately and won his lawsuit against the police that wrongfully imprisoned him.
Personally, I'd be celebrating if I got 50,000 after just 3 days in jail. I'm pretty young so that's literally more than my life savings.

Well for me the ability to draw a map of there path and they are willing to go and say alright if I did it go ask this person I was with them at the time of the so-called robbery that’s proof enough for me that they are innocent

@Fu*k Poe's Law! What do you mean he literally said he had to let someone know he wasn't making it into work ? ,exaggerate ? do you know what its like to be black and falsely accused stop trying to underplay this miscarriage of justice the police didn't do there jobs right at all that's why they were demoted and suspended without pay. "doesn't look like hes made of sugar " who the hell says that to someone falsely accused

@Fu*k Poe's Law! If he knew he would be free after three days and weren't treated horrifically and called a criminal and liar throughout that whole time, I'd say maybe.

But it's not just the unjustified time served, it's the mental anguish you go through trying to prove your innocence to someone who won't listen to reason.

@Fu*k Poe's Law! I dunno. Just wanted to point it out that it wasn't the "benchmark standard" $...my guessing is that CADs value is 2/3-3/4 of a US dollar...I will google it thou...for my self only :)

Edit: Can't help it. Must share. CAD 1 equal USD 0.83....or  CAD 1 gives you EURO 0.68

@setik what controversy? why would employers know about it? <br>also, he doesn't look like he's made of sugar, 80 hours in a cell isn't 80 hours spent in a park (in summer, no rain) especially if there's nothing to read (maybe he got lucky and they gave him enough to read, dude seems like a reader of books) but don't exaggerate it, please.

@Fu*k Poe's Law! how tf is that lucky? Even if the arrest doesn't go on his record, his current and future employers may want to stay away from him due to the controversy, and plus he's probably been psychologically hurt by this; more anxious and more resentful. Three days in a jail cell is no walk in the park either.

@Вук Марковић so over 10 000 American dollars for each day!! like I said: LUCKY BASTERD!!

@Satfire's Cat At least he got a 46'000 Canadien dollares for the "inconvinience" (I know, spelling).  I've heard that you can spend 20 years, wrongfully convicted in a US prison and don't get a dime for it

Even the guy staying in jail over night is upsetting.

it pains me to hear "that he doesn't know that he's about to be wrongly imprisoned for ~2 years" that is terrifying and a tragedy


"To get a confession without evidence is an amazing mark on a detective's career"<br>This is why more than just a confession is required today.

It's fucking amazing that a cop can lie straight faced saying "I know you did this  there's video of you doing this" when the person was on a bus while it was happening.

Especially when considering the dispatch description was literally opposite of the person in the chair...

I know in a lot of places in Europe cops aren't allowed to lie to you like that anymore because it's unethical and can result in innocents being convincted when they "confess" under that pressure, but for numerous reasons police reform in the US has been either resisted or slow/nonexistent.


Two men attacked me in front of multiple witnesses. I defended myself against them with my fists.  They pinned me up against a wall, faces an inch from mine, fists clenched.  After warning them multiple times I lashed out and sent the pair sprawling.  I was arrested, charged, locked up for many hours and went to trial TWELVE MONTHS LATER.  The judge found me entirely innocent and was absolutely disgusted with the police because they refused to interview the witnesses.  He said  " You walked in here an honourable man, and that is how you will leave here!  You did what any man should have done in your position."  Police are the enemy - NEVER, EVER, TRUST THEM.


the fact that he got framed and charged for robbery after he actively made change in his life to overcome his criminal past and to become a better person is fucking awful

@zbrhd that is just a excuse for being a bad person. Being a vandal and potentionally assaulting someone just because you are falsely accused for saying a bad word? That is hillarious, comical even. Get outta here.

@Carbon Compounds i didnt watch the whole vid yet how wss it determined her allegations werefalse?

@Armando Flores how does getting shafted while plugging diligently along the straight and narrow reinforce THAT Belief ?

@Crassie Wassie it is pretty fucked up...

@Sandra Bullock this would be like cutting off a dogs legs for losing a race and then getting angry it couldn't win with only 2 legs

@Crassie Wassie i agree with this 100%. Hard life out there getting discriminated because you have a criminal record. This only makes convicts relapse into recidivism because they have no other say to make money.

The dark shaded man got compensation as he was caught due to  officer's fault.

@Crassie Wassie Couldn't agree more. I feel you should not have to disclose any felony status after being released, or at least very shortly after.

I see very little benefit to society in continuing to punish these people. In fact, I feel we actively make these people more dangerous through our treatment.

It does remove them from the voter roll, so some may like that.

@Bilal Omer

You judge them to be innocent or?

This type of thing happens all the time unfortunately, once you have a criminal record you are a second class citizen and can be written off by most ppl

I'm going through it right now. Changed my life became an Executive Chef, pursuing a PhD in psychology. My ex is trying to sink me to get what she can. If it wasn't for God my kids and family I would be hopeless. Taking everything to trial. My life has been one traumatic event after another.

@SocksInAHat one of the comments said he go 45k!

Except he wasn't a "bad" person to begin with. What a disgusting implicit notion you propagate with your statement (claiming that living a crime-free life makes someone a "better person" implies that criminals are not good people intrinsically in their nature- You can see how gross this fabrication is hopefully). And he was so easily convicted precisely because of this past. The judicial system regards transgressors as possessing a certain intrinsic nature, so when there is a case like this with no evidence against him except the word of a witness, his purportedly recognized nature which has already been established by the judicial system becomes the primary piece of evidence used against him. Its fucking disgusting and these cops should be beheaded for a new public armed with new notions - unlike the disgusting ones you operate with.

I got sentenced guilty for saying a bad word, which I didnt. Now Im becoming criminal and start to destroy stuff, throw heavy stuff at people while I hide. And I did way worse stuff. NOW I am criminal<br>Sometimes judges do the wrong...

Just goes to show you that God forgives, people might over time, but the system won't forgive and they won't forget.

@AnDrea Lopez good reason for god to kill the devil!

@FortniteKid123 Follow your dreams and be polite

@Bilal Omer it must also be shitty to see how high bail is.. I'm pretty sure the level we set bail at today especially in this economy is ridiculous

@Crassie Wassie yeah especially painfull when u have to explain to the relatives and the loved ones especially the uneducated  and poor that the bail application was rejected after an entire year hopeful fighting of the case.

Working as an junior lawyer in india rn I have seen cases excess of a hundred innocents have been charged or are under arrest for investigation under non bailable sections which can keep them behind bars for even upto a decade or life without evidence.

It's honestly horrible what we put convicts through <br>how are people supposed to make a change to their life if they're socially ostricized and even the legal system is stacked against them despite them serving their time in accordance to the legal system

The worst part is he solved the crime in the interrogation room. If they just listened to him. He knew exactly what happened and told them!!

Is also a sing from God letting him know that he shoukd keep working hard that he'll be good if he keeps that path of a humble life

Well wahts crazy is that if he played that wrong he would have still ended up locked up again.

@SocksInAHat yeah but that was only after a civil trial, judging by the fact that the other guy still got wrongfully imprisoned despite there being minimal evidence, he probably didn’t have a private lawyer

it happens a lot because once your in the system you later "fit the description"

@Daniel Miyahara kinda fucked up but didn’t the black guy get compensated? Im sure this guy would too, especially for doing a few years

@SocksInAHat that never happens, it's always the legal system being "oopsy, sorry lmao"

So sad to watch stuff like that happen, I don't know why that girl lied about him in the court


Im getting extremely angry that the guy got a 2 year sentence without doing anything, turned his life around and get punished for that. Its infuriating and i hope that all interrogators learn by these mistakes, cause it is absolutely horrible!

@William Bogue I really hope I misunderstood.  Because if someone was innocent/found innocent and lost 2 years of his life that is bullshit. And it happens too long.

@Stephen Stansell Hard to tell what happened exactly from this. And without a last name there’s no way to research.

It sounded like he was in jail for two years awaiting trial. When the trial came that's when he was exonerated.


Justin was like, "sound like dude beat her up and she's pinning it on me"...turned out to be exactly right!
The system is so broken. If you've got a record you're screwed.  No one will believe you aren't guilty if you've been shown to be guilty before.
Its messed up


The "investigator" who interviewed Michael is a truly disgraceful, incompetent bafoon. I hope that he feels guilty about this situation to this day, and that he is never taken seriously as a law enforcement employee again.


It's disgusting and truly terrifying to promote competition in a workplace that involves ruining a person's life, whether it be justified or not

Just HAVE to say: awesome screen name—> BEST EVER!
