I love the confidence he has when he's making incriminating statements. Its actually hilarious. <br>"Did he do anything to make you shoot him?" "No negative, absolutely nothing."

@Tyler Ramos I dont think pwnstar was implying that.  sounded to me like he was saying everyone has a job to do.  Cops are obligated to arrest and provide evidence, your job is to ask for a lawyer, the lawyer makes the cops find the evidence for themselves

@Pwnstar sorry, misunderstood. But in this case I'm happy he talked.

@Fringa Lof I didn't mean to imply he was innocent.  My point was that NOBODY should talk to the cops.

@Pwnstar unfortunately he wasn't innocent!

Tyler Ramos dude. No. Now you’re looking for the stupid petty arguments.


Cant imagine how traumatic this is for the kid watching his dad dying on the floor of a gas station when you guys just went there for snacks

@A maybe don’t shoot someone and then act like youre innocent. Plain and simple :)

@A kid lol? I can make as many comments as I want why does that bother you?

@Neeners how many comments can a person make. Calm down kid, take a nap

@Neeners bro sure it was disrespectful to confront someone but maybe don’t illegally park and then assault somebody

That was my first thought too was about the kid. That's so tragic.

He should've thought about that before pushing the man with that amount of force could've killed the old man so karma strikes again

@pilt bike These things also wouldn't happen if people didn't illegally park next to handicapped parking spaces, didn't mind their own business, and/or didn't shoot a retreating and unarmed person. These things also wouldn't happen if people didn't threaten other people over minor and inconsequential matters. The woman is only guilty of a thing hat should just give her a ticket, her boyfriend is guilty of nothing, and the murderer is guilty of exactly that: murder. Due to this murderer's past, it's pretty clear that he might have started threatening her even if she hadn't done something, so it's still on him for making this whole thing an issue, it's still on him for threatening a person while he's armed, and it's still on him for taking another person's life in cold blood.

these kinda things wouldn’t happen if people didn’t park in handicapped spots and didn’t act like ignorant people when someone challenges they’re actions. if people just acted and did as they were supposed to shit wouldn’t happen

@God Wins As I've stated before, entirely correct.

@Phillipe Sebolte he's not the parking authority. He had no business verbally accosting the woman sitting in the car. And he wasn't in fear of his life when he pulled the trigger. Case closed.

@Dean McKenzie Dude he was just joking you really think he would say something like that for no reason

@NotFine he probably saying she cheated on him with another man •_•

@Chris Topher aww go cry about it lmaooo

@Chris Topher aww go cry about it lmaooo

Hid dad should’ve kept his fkn hands to himself!!

Hid dad should’ve kept his fkn hands to himself!!

@{XUVX} Inframare well it didn’t go that way did it? I don’t know why you brought that up.

@Clover MX he was doing something lmao did you even watch the video??

@Skeleton bones Ghoulie Unfortunately, the GOP can't seem to die off fast enough to get their racist and morally wrong views out of the system. The only thing we can do about it is call them out for it, and educate others so they don't become like these very people.

There are a lot of very racist people in this reply thread holy crap. Or at least self centered/extremely narrow minded.
Like, chill. Killing isn't all black and white (unintended racist pun sorry). "Well, he's black and he pushed the guy so fuck him he gets to die"
Curb your fascism
Eh whatever, its the internet. What can you do about it?
(also I applaud all those who think for more than 2 seconds before they speak and defend this poor bastard and his son.)

@Clover MX "who wasn't doing anything" A man who has for months been threatening black families who were minding their own business with their lives, for months on end.  A man who was doing the same thing to his family. Considering that's literally illegal, I don't think that the white man "wasn't doing anything". Tell me, if a man was threatening your family with their lives right in front of you, would you do whatever you could to protect your family? Would you defend your family from the undeniable aggressor, who we now know will not hesitate to end a human life? If your answer is "no" then you're a coward, and a fucking hypocrite considering what your personal politics probably are. If you answered "yes", then you're saying that the man who was shot did the right thing, and that the white man was absolutely wrong. So, is it a yes, or is it a no?

Maybe he shouldn't push some guy who wasn't doing anything

@Shjkesnc The white man himself parked illegally. Don't even try to bring up handicapped parking when he himself intentionally violated laws relating to handicapped parking.

@Gdadder that's a bit over dramatic on your part too, don't you think mate?

Hopefully the kid learned a valuable lesson from his dad...

Seriously that makes me sick & to see this guy in the interview crying because he misses his dogs 🙄😒🤢🤮

bet they don't park in disabled slots, ever.

bet they don't park in disabled slots, ever.

@Neeners i hope it makes sense to you soon 😉

@Neeners i hope it makes sense to you soon 😉

@NotFine phone keyboard autocorection and fat fingers all in one

@Dean McKenzie that is what you think... obviously

@Dean McKenzie that is what you think... obviously

@Dean McKenzie well that’s messed up. Guess he’s a troll

@Neeners i think he said monk... instead of monkey and kid in quotations because he thinks black people arent people

@Sidus Pulverem why is kid in quotation marks

@Sidus Pulverem why is kid in quotation marks

@Sidus Pulverem huh? Your comment doesn’t make any sense...

@Shjkesnc man if you really think that you’re fucked in the mind. There’s so many ways he could have confronted her with out being disrespectful. If he did that then there wouldn’t have been any conflict.  It’s his fault he messed up. I hope he rots in jail. 🤷🏿♀

Can you imagine that “kid” watching his father beating people for arguing with his monk.. mother that she parked on handicapped spot?

@Last One why even take the time to downplay trauma? I will never understand people like you 🤨

@Jaeger Bartlett what a troll you are lol

@Jaeger Bartlett what a troll you are lol

@Last One or maybe the stranger should mind his fucking Business

He kills and destroys for nothing another one's life and within his own too...


This is messed up on so many levels. This guy wasn’t even handicapped and still acted as the parking lot guardian who eventually ended a man’s life in front of his wife and kids...


Special Agent(guardian of the safe mart) Drejka deployed himself across from the handicap parking suspect and scanned the area as any navy seal spec ops operator with class S training would do.  He was then assaulted by the opposing force and was able to launch a counter attack with a superior weapon, that being glock 22 cambered in .40 S&W with a hensoldt red sight and poly mag grip and titanium bolt carriers.  The enemy was 0.0005 clicks away when special forces master agent Michael "the terminator machine force XTreme" Drejka eliminated the unarmed enemy force before they had time to retreat.

In short, the mission to protect the handicap spot the quik mart was a total success.  I recommend a gold star for agent ninja assassin Drejka, the president sends his regards.  The country thanks you

?? The Quick Mart was not under attack - it was being patronised as requested and desired.

I know this is a joke, but please don’t praise this man.

@Alby is that the moist critical guy?  Ive seen some of his clips, hes really funny.  Thats a real compliment, thanks!!!

@Grau Gaming its not copy pasta, its original.  But you are welcomed to steal it if you want.

@Agfd humor can have a way of  Illustrating ideas that are more difficult to express directly.  The real idea is kind of horrible though, a man had to be murdered for michaels ego to be satisfied.

If I didn't know that a person was murdered because of that, I would say it's hilarious.

This is brilliant, suits this guy to a tee. Drejka reminds me of the meme "Wtf did you just say to me you little bitch? I'll have you know I'm a spec ops sniper etc etc..."

whole thing was funny but I lost it at "ninja assassin" lmaoooo

@Alligator Magnet Man ahh, stop, *blushing*🥰

@Deans Deck i actually knew guys like that.

Extremely professional use of force multiplier. Rumour has it the police chief shed a tear when he got to shake Drejka's hand. The nation salutes you, sir.

You guys are laughing but it leads me to being sad when I realize that this is probably along the lines of how the guy really thought of himself

I concur with the assessment of Operator Drejka's noble actions. This after-action report has been accepted and filed. I will be recommending Special Agent Drejka for the congressional medal of honour.

@Looking 4 Things im sorry wtf did you just say?

Your version probably has less superlatives than what was actually going on in his head.

I nominate this comment - for the - 2021 comment of the year.

his whole life has been leading up to this

Lol. I bet he'll go to his grave defending himself and drive the other inmates to help him there.

LMFAOO I feel you could make a decent living by creating animated satire clips


`` Mr. Draco was the victim here `` well done defense.


Don’t talk to police.  Lawyer.  Remain silent.  Repeat.


me rewatching these videos until he uploads again


he's so wrong like he says i got tackled then the guy pushed him without walking / running toward him.  put yourself in the position of the guy who got shot, you walk out of the gas station and some middle aged tatted dude is screaming at your gf, i probably would open the same way that guy who pushed him did.


Not justifying the shooting but why park in a handicap spot? Especially with all those open spots? Some of these handicapped people are pissed off at the world. I got cussed out by a guy in a wheelchair for using the handicap entrance for the metro even though he wasn’t anywhere near me.


I cannot believe he was allowed to leave that interview room! 😮


Dude went out looking for shit to get into and he knows it. "Manslaughter" my ass


This idiot was on the floor looking at the guy who just hit him who is already backing up, and yet he fired anyways? Timing is everything. Sure he was attacked from behind, but if your attacker yields you don’t get to shoot him.


Both guys overreacted. This guys reaction was just over the top tho.


The poor guy who got shot was absolutely justified in pushing the other guy away aswell. He was acting aggressively to his wife! Of course you would want to defend/protect your significant other. RIP.

@BrandenJ29 If the verbal exchange occurs in such a manner as to make one fear for their safety, it's assault. He's standing at her door. He has her trapped in the car as he's berating her. His verbal barrage was sufficient to draw the attention a customer who exited the store and then just sat in her car as well as the two drivers who pulled in AFTER the exchange started.

If a cop had been there Drejka would have been instructed to walk away and, had he not, he would have been arrested for assault.

Legally: the essential elements of assault consist of an act intended to cause an apprehension of harmful or offensive contact that causes apprehension of such contact in the victim.

No actually, he wasn’t. It was a verbal argument and he escalated it into being a physical encounter. If he had landed any different like hitting his head he could have died and that’s not an exaggeration. Fact is, the entire situation was wrong moves by both parties. Illegal parking, unnecessary force, and then the use of a gun unnecessarily.


This guy talks like he is apart of local militia. He knew he was shooting when he hit the ground


How is no one talking about the guy sleeping in the courtroom at 47:41, if you rewind a bit you see him awake
And then at 50:37 he is removed from the courtroom, I would assume because of sleeping


This is like a television commercial for "Say Nothing but Attorney Please". Good cop bad cop, just trying to understand. Look the dude with a gun was in the wrong for firing but NEVER EVER EVER speak to the cops without representation and NEVER EVER EVER consent to anything. The video may be damning, but perhaps while he was looking at the guy, before he shot, he saw the guy's face and eyes and maybe saw him swell up like one does before the attack.


Total coward... There was NO reason to fire the gun...


This guy is a Kevin.

He’s been waiting to confront someone for a while and he knew he had a gun to ultimately win when he finally did

What is a Kevin?  Is that supposed to be a male Karen or something lmao


I mean i get frustrated when non handicapped people park in handicapped spots too, but id never leave my vehicle and and cause a conflict. Id just think "That's inconsiderate" and walk away. No harn done.


This guy HAS to be related to Jeremy Dewitte. Could you imagine those two idiots together roaming the streets. Instituting law and order.


Well, two wrongs definitely don’t make a right


Imagine taking 3 seconds to accurately aim at a vital target when your life is in "danger"


People think the world would be safer if everyone carried. I imagine cases like this will jump 200%. People with guns do stupid things.


There’s so many famous Florida cases. This ones in my home city where I still live


" it hurts where he pushed me " ok? you just shot someone.


I truly understand his point of view I dont think its racially charged at all I think hes a good guy who was genuinely scared and that arm crunching pain is enough to daze anyone. I'm not saying he should have pulled the trigger or hes innocent but honest to god the guy probably was in.shock considering he kind of just stands there dead focused as if his life literally depended on it. Him deciding to fire is his mistake outside of that people aren't breaking down his story and giving credit where credit is due.

Racially charged? Probably not. Some suburban commando who has no one to blame but himself for the consequences of his actions? Absolutely.

This man threatened people with a gun in road rage incidents 4 times prior to this shooting. Not the type of person who should be allowed to carry a firearm with them.

@ImFresh agreed I just hate how people immediately attacked him as the worst it could be in the comments. It seemed several people ignorantly just assumed it was racial even though it genuinely doesn't seem that way.

i agree, obv you can look at the footage with hindsight and say he shouldnt of pulled the trigger, but with the adrenaline and the heat of the moment i can understand why he would still pull said trigger.


Too many jittery, weak and feeble minded people are allowed to carry a gun


Huh that’s interesting. He was Sentenced on the same day as I was born (10th october) not the same year ofc


Drejka seems like a typical Kid Rock fan.


Thank you for telling me he says. No remorse.


1. You have to be respectful towards everyone and follow the rules
2. You can't be reinforcing the rules because you are not a police
3. Don't bring violence to a discussion and ovoid doing stupid shit


If you’re being interrogated and the cop says “I’m just trying to understand…” you’re basically fucked.


I know if you want talk to law enforcement you're risking rights


Reminds me of that guy that fired into a car full of teens because their music as too loud. killing one claiming self defense.

IF U GOT IT ON UR MIND THEN GET IT OFF YOUR CHEST


Lol he really wanted to be a police or something they rejected him 🤣


Prosecution really said "but can u fight?"


Totally avoidable situation, lives ruined over a trivial matter.


the dude said he couldnt see a change in the events that played out


"force multiplier" bro thought he had a power up card


This is a self-appointed-vigilante type of situation. He probably at one point harboured dreams and aspirations of joining the police or army. Clearly took it upon himself to seek out those he perceived as wrong-doers and threaten them with his 'firearm'. His use of police jargon is annoyingly evident of this.

@Lucas Booth "People aren't saying he was justified"

I can literally point you to a threas where someone tried to argue the guy was justified. And its not the only thread either. In fact, this very same thread is doing that.

So on top of putting words in my mouth (words which I literally preficed against), you say no one is justifying him when the literal comment I'm replying to is saying "Its justified cause he was screaming at his spouse".

I can't tell if you're confused or intentionally being dishonest at this point but I'm leaning towards the latter.

@Lucas Booth  Me: "The guy wasn't justified in shooting him (obviously) they were all in the wrong".

You: *accused me of trying to justify the culprit and victim blame*.

Gee, and here I thought literally spelling it out and it saying it in the most clear way possible would convey my intention but nope.

@HELP!!! hOW dO InPUt uSeRnAMe? People arent saying he was justified in shoving or that it wouldn't have been assault. Granted the man was shouting at his parter and there was kids in the car, so that could be considered some kind of justification, although he should have used his words first. But the fact that your trying to in any way say that him being shot was a reaction to his assault is INSANE. Was it assault, yes. Would he have been in the wrong had police shown up and no gunshot fired? Yes. Would he have got a misdemeanor assault charge (50$ fine) yes. Is there any possible situation where michael whatever his last name is was justified in ANY WAY to fire a gun and kill a man? NO FUCKING WAY. You are victim blaming. And its not okay.

@Hassan Tirmizi lmao sounds like jon koppenhaver got himself a computer

@gabrielle roberts And who do you think would be the one getting charged if he hadn't had a weapon? You'd be singing a completely different tune right now.

Yeah you shouldn't accept crap from people. But immediately putting your hands on someone for arguing about a parking spot is pretty stu pid.

First of all, they shouldn't even have been there. Its a disability spot, and there many other free spots. Secondly, he didn't physically threaten nor attack anyone. So you're still in the wrong and could be charged with assault for striking first. Thirdly, he probably didn't even know what was going on, but immediately resorted to violence.

The guy isn't justified for shooting (obviously), but none of them are in the right and none of them were innocent (except the kids). Fact is he initiated assault. What he got in return was way worse and totally unnecessary, but that doesn't somehow except it.

@Tommy Mc shoving someone escalates the situation, but most people won't expect a gun to come out immediately

@Kierra Shaw the worst thing about it all is that the murderer will never mature sufficiently to realize he was the bad guy. In his kiddie mind, he will always be the hero. He's probably already truly convinced himself that he would have been killed if he didn't fire.

This is why we need guns off the streets. So little boys in old bodies don't go around murdering people this way.

I believe men should be built like men and should face up like a man instead of drawing up a weapon. Imagine Ronnie Coleman or Dexter Jackson standing there and arguing with someone. Would somebody dare to push them or be aggressive with them? However, if you're a pigeon shoulder, chicken leg specie arguing with someone's gal they'll most likely try to fry you up. Your only possible response is then to shoot and take somebody's life. Strange gun laws though btw in the US. I mean I wouldn't keep any weapon even if the Nemesis from Resident Evil gifts me a Rocket Launcher. Not because that I don't like weapons but rather because it is an affront to my manliness to carry one. The best motivation for bodybuilding for me is that when I go out on the streets people would think twice before getting physically confrontational.

@sinkingship5 then report them to the store management or something. Don't stand there and keep screaming at them like a goddamn barbarian. It won't solve anything. Also, being pushed to the ground doesn't justify shooting a man, especially when said man is backing off. Did you even watch the video? Why are you defending that wannabe vigilante?

Eerily reminds me in a slightly less macabre and sinister way of the Todd Kolhepp interview. He used all kinds of jargon and bragged about his "skills" in marksmanship etc... almost trying to play buddy-buddy with police and relate to them in some kinda tactical way. I find it super distasteful and vomit inducing lol 😅

@Micmimi56 <br>It wouldn't matter as the US, Iran, China and a few other nice countries didn't ratify the ICC Treaty, so US soldiers are free to play as they wish.

@Micmimi56
It wouldn't matter as the US, Iran, China and a few other nice countries didn't ratify the ICC Treaty, so US soldiers are free to play as they wish.

“Neutralize the target” “That’s my store” the convenient store handicap parking spot police… owner of the store probably didn’t even know who this guy was before this day..

Such a tired take. I guess you disdain every security officer you see on the same grounds. Weak

I just realised, imagine how many war crimes he would commit if he actually became a soldier. Civilian casualties would peak

I couldn’t agree more. I believe when people like this begin using this jargon, they think this will put them on the same level as law enforcement. It really just makes them look like they’re looking for a reason to justify using a weapon.

So true or false? He was assaulted before he fired his weapon. Telling an asshole off because he/she is in a parking spot, meant for people with disabilities, is totally fine. More people should be doing that.

@what Not everyone can get right jn.  Medical keeps a bunch out. Laziness. You name it.

@Marcus Wodstrup Exactly. Guy didn’t have to shove him, was acting like a hot head. Sadly the man he shoved was clearly a psycho

@Tommy Mc it does matter. I guess you’d be just fine with some random man screaming at your wife in front of your kids though, right?

@Jesley Peralta Doesn’t matter man you don’t just run up and shove someone to the ground because they are yelling at each other…. Doing that is idiotic and immediately escalates any situation.

@Tommy Mc idk I dont think the black guy is a moron because the video did state the disagreement was so loud they could hear the both of them from within the store. The dude was mad this wannabe was yelling at his lady like that

He should be in jail…. But the black dude who shoved him was a moron as well. You don’t just immediately shove someone to the ground who’s in the middle of a disagreement. Weird reaction by both men here.

@what That wouldn't do. He wants to show them what they should be doing. He knows they wouldn't do what he does.

Strikes me as the law enforcement/military obsessed (but not actually a trained member of those groups) type that is far too trigger happy.  Probably watches tons of self defense videos on YT and fantasizes about himself getting in those situations so he can play hero. A legit danger to society when someone has that mindset

@Mel Does Stuff yes when in reality hes the bad guy

Right. A reasonable person would go inside and report it to management.

I agree with you. He seems so prepared with his answers it’s actually quite worrying. However he’s not smart enough to understand that assumptions do not get you off a present sentence.


Lmao he's all acting like his arm hurts at first then when they leave he clearly forgot about and is leaning on it and right when they come back all of a sudden it's back to hurting and can't shake hands with it. He must not know he's being video taped...


so nice to see how he digs his own grave


Imagine getting pushed, and thinking the logical course of action was to pull out a pistol and shoot

@Herbert West can’t wait for someone to have the same energy defending them when one of them does something to you.

@NFAisNFGAY I think the racial element was definitely overblown in this case (as it is in many cases today), but even without it, there was still enough evidence against Drejka to support his conviction.

Marquis and his wife were no angels. I have  no doubt that she mouthed off to Drejka, and the shove from Marquis was pretty excessive. I think Marquis could've gotten within 10 feet, shouted at Drejka while marching towards him and it would've made him back off.

However, once  Marquis shoved Drejka down... and Drejka subsequently removed his gun.... the gun itself was obviously a deterrent to any further escalation of the incident ... because Marquis backed up at the point the gun was drawn.  The drawn gun and Marquis backing up was supposed to end this situation.  It is IMPOSSIBLE to make the case that a man, who is backing up at the sight of a gun, is a threat to the person with the gun.  The gun should have served as the "end-all" to the situation.

The bottom line is though that there never would've been any confrontation had Drejka minded his own business. He wasn't disabled himself. He didn't pull up to a full parking lot with his disabled mother and then politely ask someone without a placard to park somewhere else, he was a serial pest that was looking for a confrontation and a reason to use his gun.

@NFAisNFGAY If the verbal exchange occurs in such a manner as to make one fear for their safety, it's assault. He's standing at her door. He has her trapped in the car as he's berating her. His verbal barrage was sufficient to draw the attention of a customer who exited the store and then just sat in her car as well as the two drivers who pulled in AFTER the exchange started.

If a cop had been there Drejka would have been instructed to walk away and, had he not, he would have been arrested for assault.

Legally: the essential elements of assault consist of an act intended to cause an apprehension of harmful or offensive contact that causes apprehension of such contact in the victim.

@Herbert West threatening? Seriously? You really don’t want to hold those people to the same standard. Guess they’re naturally that easily violent. No wonder people carry guns to defend from them, then.

@NFAisNFGAY You can't respond to any and every physical assault with deadly force, especially if you're the one who provoked the confrontation by threatening a man's family.

Ignoring the guy who started the physical altercation? Course, we never can hold them to the same standard…


That lawyer should just go home and retire. He just looked like such a jackass


I can't legally purchase a firearm but if I were to pull out any weapon because I feel threatened, if they put their hands up and back away im backing away too. I don't want to hurt you but if you give me a reason to I probably will lmao.

As the old saying goes "I don't want NO SMOKE". It sucks that sometimes we have to because people are....ya know.
This person on the other hand is clearly a coward who's pride caused another person to lose their life.


44:33 that womens expression says everything


Drawing a gun is expected to kill or to be killed


10:26 the attacker must be within 21 feet to be considered inside the splash zone


Guy's been watching too many "Active Self Protection' clips...


Poor man’s Paul Blart. Have fun in prison clown.


Oh but yeah, second amendment, every ass in the street should have a firearm to defend themselves. Right.


Gee guess he hasn't ever seen interrogation videos before .... He's obviously putting on the act for detectives while they're in the room. Two seconds before they entered the room his arm looked perfectly fine . What a pathetic human being


The people taking the offenders side are the same people that think the “Reid” technique is based on science


Killing someone for pushing you is crazy


I thought that was not supposed to be any firearms in the interrogation room. Note that the office is wearing his.


I'm starting to think that detectives and interrogators have the highest IQ. Is it the training or they are just gifted?

they're just trained to keep people talking. most of it is just being non threatening and backing off when they're getting to a sore spot. buddy buddy. even just sitting in the room like they are is an act.


Why did he agree to questioning? Isn't it general consensus by now with all these videos and tv shows that you're better off never saying anything and waiting for a lawyer to represent you?


You can just see this guys lawyers face when the prosecution is talking to the jury @50:22 he's like yea man it's over . I know we bout to lose


"with this kind of doubt in this case" sir there isn't any doubt lmfao, tf is he going on about


Took ambulance 19 minutes to arrive? Thats a long time


Are we not going to talk about how fucked up it is, that paramedics took 19 minutes to get there? What a mess.


I'm not 1/3 through the video, and I haven't reached a conclusion as of culpability (yet). But sweet baby Jesus!, after you've been mirandized, why do you keep talking?!? I'm guessing (fairly certain) that he's going down.


"That's my store, I'm there every day. Plain and simple."


Not saying he should've shot him or argued with the mother after circling her car, but what is the correct response when someone illegally parks in a handicap spot? If they could leave in just 30 seconds never to be seen by you again, just to park somewhere else illegally in a handicap spot, are you just supposed to take their license plate number and report it or is it even treated like a law? I personally hate when people do this as I have an elderly grandmother who has to use a walker and needs the space that sometimes isnt given by selfish individuals. Please give clarity someone


This is a interrogating detective's dream....accused answering every question like it's nothing and embellishing it with all the details....proud as a peacock.

@Alien Tree Guy  i don't see the point of having to yell and intimidate someone because of them parking on the wrong slot. He knows there's a kid with the woman. He shouldn't have yelled at her, nor acted like a cop/body guard/storemanager when he isn't in the first place. Letting them know they are in the wrong parking space IS ENOUGH. Walking away, informing the store would be better. Also the store have cctv's right? If they didn't give a damn about a stupid parking space, why would he be so triggered out of something he wouldn't be fined for? I also want to point out that when this guy was pushed to the ground, the moment the one who pushed him back down, it just means he did it out of father instinct, trying to protect his family, He saw a random guy, yelling to his wife and kids. He didn't have any weapon with him that could threaten his life enough to SHOOT the gun. The moment he pointed the gun, the father stopped, so what the shooting is for?

@Alien Tree Guy He was not "tackled to the ground". He was pushed BIG difference. You're trying to paint this guy as the victim when he's not. This guy saw someone parked in the handicapped parking spot (which someone shouldn't do if they're not handicap) and thought he should play cop instead of inform the store he was at. Him circling their car and arguing with someone's wife she was probably scared of him at that moment. And this guy rightfully so saw a guy yelling at his wife and pushed him down. Backing away, the other guy pulled out his gun and started shooting. How are you fearful of someone backing away? A handicapped spot shouldn't end someones life. And like someone prior said he was supposed to inform him that he was carrying which he didn't.

@Syed Hasan Ali Mahdi No, you just haven't read up on the case. I read about those incidents, and even the cops themselves say that only two of those times was he said to have pulled a gun, and both those times the "victim" didn't press charges and he was released immediately. The other two times no one claimed he pulled a gun, and he was immediately released on both those times as well. You're so happy to paint this guy as some bad guy without even knowing all the facts. And yeah, it won't help. But I can still point out this subversion of justice. I feel bad for the US if this is their version of "justice".

@Lala Baba Pretty darn stupid indeed to discharge your gun at an unarmed man. Doesn't make him innocent though

He had his training... If you are carrying, the first rule of conduct if you are confronted by anyone is to inform them that you are carrying a firearm. This includes everyone that have any kind of "confrontation", which includes bystanders, and Law Enforcements.

What do you do when you get stopped by a traffic cop and you're carrying? Inform them that you are carrying

What do you do when someone is throwing hands at you when you're carrying? Inform them that you are carrying

You do not reach for it until you are in an immediate threat and danger to your life. That's what cops are also supposed to do when they need to pull out their gun, also that is why you shouldn't holster your gun somewhere hard to reach like tucked on the back of your pants, always holster them in an easily reachable but secure place. Falling down to the pavement because you were pushed by an unarmed dude is not a threat to your life.

Just saying anyway, it's a fine assesment in your end about testimonies. But the act is clear as day

@Dean King Gotta remember that almost all the people on this channel don't believe in innocent until proven guilty, and only believe evil exist and not stupidity/muddled memories and perception. They've never had to be interrogated under stress and don't know what remembering under stress does to your perception, probably wouldn't be able to describe their breakfast if you asked them at noon while they're stressed.

@Syed Hasan Ali Mahdi well done on completely missing my point. I'm saying that he seemed to believe the story he was telling the police and that's why he was so quick to answer all the questions and didn't ask for a lawyer etc

I got the impression he genuinely thought the guy had stepped towards him and so he was in the right and that's why he was co-operating


Here’s a quote after Drejka was sentenced to 20 years from Markeis’s father: “In the Bible, it says that in order to get into heaven we must forgive those who trespass against us. At this point in my life, I am not there yet. And if it just so happens that the Lord chooses to take me before I come to terms with this, then I will see you in hell, where you and I will finish this. Mark my words.”

Here's a quote from Joe Biden: hairy legs


You get inro altercation that is none of your bussiness, you get pushed to the ground you draw your gun. Okay. The one who pushed you takes two steps back. WTF are you thinking that you shoot him ? ..... The threat has stopped. Get up and gtfo.


Follow the law and this wouldn’t have happened


Seems like a good guy moral of the story is don’t go around shoving people to the ground

If you let some stranger harass the mother over your children over a parking dispute, you’re a wuss

true, adrenaline in the heat of the moment. i dont think he meant to kill but when ur surprised and look up to see a bigger man, who already resorted to violence, its understandable why he could pull the trigger.


I like how he turned his jacket into a sling for his arm. He must have leveled up his field medic skill to level 10 to unlock that perk.

that is a regeneration multiplier right there

Miraculously "healed" at 1:17 :00 timestamp🤔

carlwinslo hahahaha so true
Love that name too
You watching out for Urkel?


These dude kill me they creat a situation then claim to be victims ,mind your damn business problem solved


He illegally parked to kill someone who was illegally parked.


Markeis McGlockton (drug dealer) won't be attacking people in parking lots anymore and the gun happy Michael Drejka is off the streets.  A win-win situation.  Too bad the didn't ticket the girlfriend.


Shooting a man over a parking violation that is none of your business?

@Mitko Donchev Is physically assaulting someone in response to and verbal altercation warranted because there was a women involved or are you virtue signalling?Stunning and brave. Had he walked up and said sorry we where in a rush man do you think the "sack of bones" would still have shot him? If the colour of their skin was reversed would you call the black guy a "sack of bones"? Just being devils advocate here i feel both parties acted poorly and infront of children.

@Root Beer Did he though? I mean sure, going immediately for a push to the ground is not right, but his girlfriend was getting yelled at by some old sack o' bones. Of course he would go and intervene. To me, this case is 1% the guy getting a bit to aggressive with the push and 99% that old nut-job just wanting to roleplay a cop or a GTA character so bad he was willing to shoot someone and go to jail over it.

He murdered the guy after he was physically attacked. Still not justified in my opinion but come on the guy who got shot behaved poorly aswell.


I've seen a lot of people talk about this but I want to clarify that the altercation was over when Michael drew the gun, the father backed up when he saw the gun. Yes the father should not have pushed him, but his wife was being yelled at, and he made a decision to push Michael in the moment. That however is not enough justification to shoot some who is unarmed and backing up.

@FlymanMS no, I live right next to the hood. I don't play weed smoking police either because it's none of my business.

@JenEx high school kids are kids.. adults have to know better. Not justifying murder. But an adult can’t shove another man like that. That was a violent assault.

@c2.whitty That is definitely true too. As someone who does conceal carry, he was completely in the wrong. You only use a firearm if you are in fear for your life and you should never even think about touching it if you are angry. This is what is taught to those who are issued CCWs. This douche gives level headed gun owners a bad reputation. As soon as the initial attacker backed off after seeing the gun, this situation went from self defense to murder.

@Axel Agree. Definitely did not warrant lethal aggression, however.

Concretely put; violence was not necessary, even if it’s a very natural response to these situations. After being pushed and falling onto the pavement, the officer had clear time to make a decision as the perpetrator disengaged. The officer then made a conscious choice to shoot the disengaging perpetrator.

To say that pushing a man for an argument is wrong should subsequently be to say that Shooting a man for a push is wrong. Racial bias or otherwise, This comment section needs a desperate cleanse of double standard syndrome.

@Michael Zomsuv oh so pushing someone is animal behavior but not killing someone, makes perfect sense

Well only animals would kill someone for being pushed, was the pushing unnecessary yes but did he deserve to die? No and definitely not infront of the mother of his child and his kids.  Do you realize how traumatizing that is? High school kids push each other alot  for stupid reasons does that mean they are animals? Does that mean they should die? He did not deserved to be killed. The LEAST u could do is to respect the dead man not calling me an  animal and mind you that's the very LEAST you could do. He did not deserve to die. If you believe other wise then I strongly Suggest you never purchase a gun cuz with you're mindset you could kill a  human being for the simple case of him or her pushing. Of course this is just a suggestion do with it as you wish thank you and hopefully someday you realize how disturbing this comment was and grow up. Take care

@Don Miller lol, I don't know about that, but one thing is sure is that "being yelled at" is not an excuse for shoving someone on a concrete floor. Only an animal would react that way to an argument.

"but his wife was being yelled at"

I don't know why people keep saying this. They were not married. She was just his baby momma. She had three kids by him, all under six. Which means she was squeezing out puppies as fast as possible to keep her welfare checks padded and arriving on schedule.

@Michael Zomsuv I was with you up until you said the reaction was 100% justified. Drejka's reaction was not a defense against an assault that was ongoing, but a retaliation to an assault that ended a solid moment before the shot.

I've been there, in a situation where I felt so threatened by a large and unreasonably aggressive man that I drew a weapon. I used it to warn him as I backed off. And that guy continued being aggressive after I drew the weapon. Fortunately I didn't have to use it, and I didn't because I saw that I didn't need to. That guy was more bark than bite. Point is, I didn't get that solid moment to think before acting, and I still didn't resort to killing or even wounding.

Meanwhile, Drejka had two seconds to get his bearings and realize that he was no longer in immediate danger. He had a moment to think, and then he shot the already-defeated opponent who was visibly retreating. The only way this could be clearer was if the victim was shot in the back.

Only a dangerously violent person would react the way he did to an argument. He is the one who instigated the violence.

Mike started an argument. That is no reason for starting a physical aggression. Furthermore, he could have been killed had he fell wrong on the concrete floor.

People die all the time from falling wrong. His reaction was 100% justified to a life threatening aggression.

It's a shame he went to prison for defending himself but at least he got rid of that animal. (whoever resorts to violence in an argument is an animal).

One man made a decision " in the moment" and then the man he assaulted also made a decision "in the moment".  Funny how everyone can see this as a black and white issue when quite frankly it's gray at best.

@RabbitFangs oh yeah it's like saying "I didn't kill him, the bullet did". Shameful attempt at justifying violent actions of a not so bright man.

@Homunkulus what world do you live where it's ok to get physical with someone who isn't threatening you with physical violence?

@RabbitFangs Understandable. I just kinda unloaded here (no pun intended) because I saw a lot of comments playing up the innocence of the victim as if he were <i>completely</i> blameless, when he did assault the soon-to-be murderer just for being rude.

@Choose Your Own Path completely agree with you. Im just more experienced with this than the average person. The system is in their favor. I don't get any heat in the hood out of respect.

@Choose Your Own Path he pushed him and the push caused him to fall over, he didn't push him to the ground, Michael just fell over because he wasn't expecting it

It wasn’t just a push.  He dropped him to the concrete.

@Homunkulus you better handle that $hit and disarm him if you push him. It's game on once it gets physical.

@Becky Clawson Becky was never raised in the hood and has no experience there. I guarantee it.

@Maddock Emerson You are correct, I'm sorry I made that mistake I genuinely thought I saw that he did, I'll edit the comment

@Maddock Emerson 1. Don't play handicapped parking police.
2. Don't yell at women.
3. If you are a woman dealing with a threat that you can't physically overcome. Go somewhere safe and be smart.
4. Violence is a last resort. Period.
5. If you can't argue with the handicapped police with no badge I don't know what to say to you.
6. People are crazy. If you put your hands on them, expect the worse.

@Maddock Emerson correct. Both are in the wrong.

He was not raising his hands. I watched the video specifically looking for that - he started to back up when Drejka reached for the gun, and was in the middle of turning away when he got shot, but he never threw his hands up. You know you don’t need to lie to make Drejka look like the bad guy right? The case was pretty clear cut without lying about how innocent the victim was, or the erroneous insinuation of racism. The shooter’s response was still obviously way past the point of being justifiable in any case.

@Wabi Sabi my wife would lock the door and call me to handle it. She knows better.

@Becky Clawson so, both of these "men" are weak. Correct.

You guys know they can both be in the wrong, right? Yelling at women isn't cool. Neither is pushing people for yelling.

Yes I’m honestly quite shocked at the people defending Michael. I won’t even say it’s bias (although it’s obvious it runs deep) - it’s just blind ignorance. God help me if I ever marry a man who doesn’t defend me - or a man who gets aggressive with women  and then feels justify shooting his way out when confronted about it. Michael is a weak man. How do people not see this? A really statement about society.

You can tell who grew up in bama snacking on their sister based on who thinks who was wrong in this video


Imagine the kids life after witnessing your own father die infront of you jesus


This guy was low key excited to execute a black man let's be real. How are you gonna say you've never been in a fight and over someone pushing you, the immediate response is pulling out + gun and firing?


New imidiatly he was guilty when he started faking the injury haha
