definitely not a justifiable homicide, when he pointed his gun at the attacker, there was no need for pulling the trigger as the attacker showed the sign of withdrawing

@customsongmaker the man didnt try to kill michael. he tried to get him away from his wife, whomst he was yelling and swearing at over a PARKING SPOT. and he landed on his elbow. he then waited 2.5 seconds on the ground w his gun out whilst the victim was backing up. Oh and, just to trigger you some more, this was definitely a racially motivated killing. This case would not have existed if the woman and kids in the car were white, instead of black.

@Sam Donohoe he saw a man swearing and yelling at his wife. i would push the guy too.

@Sam Donohoe he saw a man swearing and yelling at his wife. i would push the guy too.

Why is nobody mentioning the fact that the victim parked in a handicap spot?
Listen, I'm not justifying him being shot but I hate arrogant people who just think they can do anything they want - with an "IDGAF" attitude, such as parking in a disabled parking spot when they're not disabled. These types of people are scumbags.
He did not deserve to be shot over this but unfortunately, he crossed somebody who was a little more arrogant than him that day and paid the consequences.
Sorry but both the suspect and the victim can kiss my ***

Attacker. Mans was pushed to the ground for shouting at a woman at a car for little to no reason. Pulled a gun and pulled the trigger on a man who pushed him. That's not eye for an eye. That's eye for a head

@Sans yeah but I'm a bit smashed now so who cares...

@Sans yeah but I'm a bit smashed now so who cares...

@Adam Raciecki During his interrogation, he never gave any indication of being someone who genuinely feared for his life.

@75ur15 Even if that is true, It still does not make sense why he shot him. He was backing up, therefore why take the shot?

@submosphere incorrect, before he pulled the weapon he was approaching him on the ground, halfway through the pull he stops and starts to back up.

@Adam Raciecki yeah, guns are mostly used for intimidation, if he attacked him again it would've been justified, but the situation is almost like, you step on my toe, i break both your hands. its a good thing he got time, cause that shot wasn't in self-defense

He was turning around though and you could clearly see that. "You don't know what he was saying." Well if he said something really bad that made him shoot, wouldn't you think that Micheal would have told us what he said? He wouldn't keep his mouth shut about it because that would help his case.

@submosphere  He was still facing him, as he got shot in the chest, derp. You don't know what he was saying. Could have been threatening him, anything... best to get a lawyer regardless

If he just wouldve kept a cool head then the other guy wouldve went to jail. Wouldve gotten right back out, but still, would have definitely been arrested. More black people these days should watch this. Maybe they'll learn to not go straight to violence no matter how much they hate white people

@GrvYrdRose - if you can risk killing someone for what they're saying, what can you do to someone if they risk killing you?

What justified the aggressor to assault the victim in the first place?  The most common cause of death in street assaults is hitting your head on the concrete when the criminal knocks you down.  What is wrong with shooting someone who just tried to murder you?

I wonder if you apply that same mind set to government agents

I wonder if you apply that same mind set to government agents

Shouldn't have attacked him in the first place play stupid games win stupid prizes he's dead other guys in prison only real loser in this is the man's kid

@Adam Raciecki PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE JOKING

@Adam Raciecki PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE JOKING

@Adam Raciecki  Lol yeah cuz he would definitely walk away to just come back and grab his gun 😐

@JordanDrukqsz or maybe people shouldn't assault other people. You think the guy shoves him to the ground if he knew he had a gun on him? I dont think so.

@JordanDrukqsz no amount of training in the gym would prepare you for getting blindsided like that. Your ass is going on the ground I don’t care who you are

You say that with hindsight and not in the adrenaline rush “heat of the moment” that this man must have been feeling.

@Jeremy Caulk true, I don't have gun, and u r right

@Jeremy Caulk true, I don't have gun, and u r right

@Jeremy Caulk there are no such things as warning shots.  So that option is off the table, leaving doing nothing but stating you are alarmed or shooting to kill.

@Louis McCaII I don’t think it’s legal to even fire a warning shot as you don’t know where that bullet will labd

@Louis McCaII I don’t think it’s legal to even fire a warning shot as you don’t know where that bullet will labd

@Adam Raciecki still doesn’t justify it. I hope you don’t have a gun. And I’m not a liberal. You can just keep your gun on him... not pull the trigger as he’s backing up

@Os I really hope he was joking... oh wait, he was

@Os I really hope he was joking... oh wait, he was

@Adam Raciecki  "so he shot him just in case"  Yeah that line of argument is manslaughter at best, murder at worst.

@KristapsJJ no, it would've been a total havoc, without jobs, no income from taxes, police as paid killers, mass killings, rapes and suicides, society collapsed

Adam Raciecki there was no reason in the first place for him to be doing what he did , period.

@Skup Ire well, all of us here are trying to judge this in the most objective way sitting behind monitors

@Skup Ire well, all of us here are trying to judge this in the most objective way sitting behind monitors

@ben colbert  damn, a whole 2.5 seconds. and that reaction time your quoting is superhuman, maybe if you count flinching with absolutely no conscious reaction id believe it was twice that

@Skup Ire this also wasn't some wild wild west quick draw match.  The other guy did not have a weapon present, so there was no imminent danger after his weapon was out and in position to fire.

@Skup Ire average human reaction time is about .3 seconds.  He already had his weapon out and aimed.  He was in that position for 2.5 seconds before he decided to fire.

@ben colbert 10 ft is literally less then 2 seconds worth of movement

@ben colbert 10 ft is literally less then 2 seconds worth of movement

@Adam Raciecki you don't shoot people "just in case" when they display no life threatening qualities. If you get pushed tell your ego and small pp to calm down and not pull a trigger, maybe hit the gym more so you don't go flying like this man did.

@V Vey I'm not going to argue with dumb people, the argument will never end if I do.

@V Vey I'm not going to argue with dumb people, the argument will never end if I do.

@submosphere That's a lie. The video clearly shows the attacker still moving forward after this guy got pushed on the ground. He was never "turning to go back to the store". He only started moving back when he realized he was armed. Which makes his testimony actually true ; the attacker did move forward while he was picking up his gun, he just clearly backed out afterwards

@rudy falcone Conflating two issues. No one is saying the guy was right, but it’s not completely unreasonable and the hardest thing to prove is intent so you have no idea what could’ve happened in that scenario.

@Louis McCaII Thank you very much for the explanation.

@Louis McCaII Thank you very much for the explanation.

@Adam Raciecki Yes.  Unique state statutes aside, I do not see the issue with defending yourself in a tense scenario where you are blindsided, only to see a younger and stronger aggressor.  The issue here is pointing the weapon as that would mean a greater level of threat is indeed in front of you.  Pointing, coupled with hesitation  makes one wonder about the nature of the threat as this was not necessary a split second decision.  Basic legal counsel would have had a profound outcome.

@Louis McCaII ok, I understand but let me flip a bit the assessment of the situation here, do you think removing a gun from the holster (but not firing it) would've been justified in that man's case?

@Adam Raciecki you completely missed the point. You’re not supposed to point a weapon unless you intend to shoot. In his mind, he could be correct in his immediate reaction. My point is not the end result of the case, my point is you should never take a weapon out unless you plan to use it.  What happens in the split second between the weapon being removed from its holster and being fired is the debatable portion but leading up to that it’s reasonable to believe you should not simply point a gun unless you intend to use it to stop one’s behavior.

@Louis McCaII "unless you are you in fear of your life", he was in fear of his life so he pulled a weapon, how about this?

That is a tough one. You  can not pull a weapon unless you are you in fear of your life.  And you should pull out or discharge a weapon to scare someone or let off "warning shots".  No brandishing.

@Adam Raciecki I really hope you aren’t serious

@Adam Raciecki I really hope you aren’t serious

@Os ikr. It’s insane how stupid some of these comments can get.

@Os ikr. It’s insane how stupid some of these comments can get.

@Independence Boyd in this case looks like he is not the attacker but he clearly went beyond the self-defense and when he said "this is my shop" and so on that may prove he wanted to be in charge, have control etc. and made him going beyond the self-defense, but there is always a doubt


I always stay in my lane and mind my own business. I let people do what they want to do and I do not interfere with others. This guy could have avoided this whole situation by just leaving these people alone 🤷🏼♀

@alldamnnamesaretaken apart from the fact that there is literally parking space all around them, the girl was literally in the car, if a handicapped person needed the space I'm sure she would've moved, either way the dude literally parked illegally taking even more space

@alldamnnamesaretaken idiotic take. if you’re not law enforcement then don’t act like it. PERIOD. report the issue and go about your day, causing a scene and making an ass of yourself is never the way to go. it’s just a great way to make sure everyone loses.

@alldamnnamesaretaken How would him not arguing with the woman have caused her boyfriend to attack him?

@alldamnnamesaretaken It was not a legal handicapped spot. It wasn't approved by the town. It didn't have the proper signage. The car was not illegally parked. Drejkas space was though

Or they shouldn't have illegally parked in a handicapped parking spot. The murder is wrong, but as a person who was in a wheelchair 19 years and now walks with crutches all the time I always applaud people berating people who aren't handicapped parking at these spots. He obviously took it too far. But not interfering wouldn't have prevented this any more than not parking there in the first place would have.


Growing up a person like this was referred to by my parents as a "trouble maker" his interrogation proves that to be true. I feel for the victims family and friends.


30:52 - "The feet said he was coming towards me, and so did the hips!"

Damn, the guy trusted Shakira with this one.

Bro I had the same thought when he said hips 😂 you know they don’t lie!


That's the second case on the channel which was caused simply because stupid people had an access to the gun. As someone who weren't raised in USA where it seems people are drilled "more guns = more freedom" from the young age, it's just sad.

More guns generally means less freedom, because it allows enforcers to equip themselves dramatically better. It’s why the Governor of Colorado got away with deploying tanks and surface to air missiles to break up a protest back in 2015. You probably didn’t even hear about that because it struck everyone as reasonable given some of the most prominent protesters were actual combat veterans and theoretically could have been armed (they weren’t).


This guy builds a better case against himself than any lawyer could.

Especially with all that bullshit his lawyer said about the camera quality, as if it was scratched and burned

I checked the timer....this guy : https://youtu.be/hQAC2pPVu88 lasts exactly 7 seconds before incriminating himself in "to catch a predator" with Chris Hansen
he goes on to confess crime after crime after crime, because "[he] has a compulsion for young girls"

too funny!

@Felipe Valencia by picking you mean objecting to their illegal activity in his community?

Poor guy. He thought he was only picking on a defenseless mother and her kids.

@Hairy Balling No sweetie, I don't believe that the case turned on his first recollection, that was something that you entirely implied on your own when you insisted that the, let's see,  that the guy was guilty of "Letting the cops feed him his narrative" and that "The sole purpose of ofc rehashing the incident @14:45 is to begin creating contradictions by inserting the police officers language to incriminate the defendant." - Your words, not mine.

Now, that's an adorable misunderstanding of what happened in that video, it's so cute it's honestly something a little child would think of, like, again, they didn't have video evidence and reasonable case to make if the prosecutor wanted to take it up. I could just pinch your little cheeks.

Was this man a police officer? No
Did anyone argue that he didn't get assaulted? Also no
Did he, absent of any immediate threat to his life, use excessive force? Yes
Did he admit - with little additional questioning - that he was in a rational state of mind, capable of rational decision making? Also yes.

And that's the way the cookie crumbles! Did I argue that you are wrong about not talking to police? Of course not, the first thing he should have asked for was a lawyer.

Did he think he was enough of a Chad Pro-Police CCP license holder who read the USCCA website front to back? Seems like it.

Sweetheart

@Kaitensatsuma My dear, it is understandable that you believe this case turns on "His first recollection" which are your are your own words.

The defendant, incorrect or not is not the question.  State of mind is determined by "his perception" not yours or a video tape.  It is the state of mind   of  the defendant or more correctly stated, weather he has a guilty mind.  That is what is punished in the US.

Is it reasonable for the defendant to react with his defense training to attacked from behind and violently knocked to the ground in a vulnerable position?

Well?  Try attacking a police officer from behind and knocking him to the ground and see if he doesn't employ the exact same defense.

Was he civilly wrong? He could be possibly liable in civil court, criminally  he isn't guilty because he believed what he recounted as his first impression.  Catching someone wrong in their memory of events is not a crime or evidence of a crime.

@Hairy Balling They didn't need him to contradict himself, there's video proof of him lying. His first recollection before he was asked to repeat it was a lie too, he insisted that his victim was about to "start finish what he started" when it shows him backing off once the gun is in view.

Then he started embellishing to make it sound like he was about to get jumped on by someone standing above him, "ready to charge".

The best or possibly worst part? When asked if he could change anything, anything at all there wasn't even a brief moment of "Well, I suppose I wish he hadn't died" coming across his mental state.

@Kaitensatsuma the inability to correctly articulate  sentences put more people in prison than any police officer.  The only thing this guy is guilty of is letting that officer feed him the cops narrative.  Never ever speak to any government official even if you think you can help.

The sole purpose of ofc rehashing the incident @14:45 is to begin creating contradictions by inserting the police officers language to incriminate the defendant.  Not the defendants words but a variation that he can further manipulate to the police officers criminal narrative.  The product created with this technique is not the defendants statement but the Ofc narrative of a crime.

Never ever ever ever speak to a police officer.  He is 100% of the time is going to lie.  Don't speak at all let your lawyer speak at trial.

This isn't good police work this is scientifically designed deception.  Carried out by a chud police officer patting himself on the back.

It's hilarious he was his own prosecutor

It's hilarious he was his own prosecutor

@Tony I'm talking about the suspect. He creates all the evidence for the prosecution and they don't even need to dig for anything. He pretty much handed everything to them. They could probably just show them the video of the incident and the interrogation and they would have had a guilty verdict.

Sorry for the confusion. I just realized that this guy is very vague and it could also be referring to the interrogator.

@Tony from my minimal understanding, lawyer and attorney are the same, and prosecuter is the lawyer/attorney that is on the suing party.<br>Or maybe lawyer and attorney means defense only

@Robert Trujillo I'm not on crack, Idek why I said that, mustve meant 100,000

@Greg Robinette 100 dollars. Are you on crack🤣 a 100000 dollar bond equals out to 10000

@ПIGΉƬMΛЯΣ hope youre joking, he commited a real crime

He shouldve been given a medal... not jail time.

@Eric Borczuk agree...this guy thought he was in the lords army or sum shit.

@Randy Bonner well its a white guy killing a black guy, racists will defend Drejka for the sole reason of "a black life was erased", Drejka is probably not a racist, he talks like the avg white supremacist, they are all soldier wannabes, but I mostly think Drejka acted on the delusion that he owned the parking spot

@Greg RobinetteA racist may get some justification,  but they would have to invert theirselves into it because I don't see anything racial in this at all .

The funny thing is a cop friend of mine has said interrogations now are all about letting the suspect talk. Let them talk long enough they’ll close the cell doors on themselves.

I see no justification in this shooting. He may or may not have been hit again , but I seriously doubt that he even thought his life was in danger .

@Greg Robinette Yeah, he totally makes me want to neutralize him with a force multiplier.

I feel like he’s one of those guys who loves to play cop games and be the “good guy”

He really thought the cops would be on his side.

@xXfunk36Xx your comment makes zero sense, I cant understand a thing your saying

@Greg Robinette yeah that dude wanted to say I’m so smart I really know what’s going on so bad that he ignores the fact that your comment is completely unrelated regardless of whether what he said is not is true there are still average people in society doing shit like this and getting arrested unless his point is anyone who does those crimes is in power which is pretty dumb.

@Eric Borczuk This guy talks so arrogant, as you said with the negatives and the tough guy act, it makes me angry af, hes a perfect example of bad wannabe's.

Yea actually absurd how big a ditch he dug just through acting pretentious. He's such a police wannabe it's insane. But the truth is just because you patrol and have a gun does not give you the right to use it...my god every time he said "negative" instead of "no" I vommed in my mouth a little lol

Yet got 100$ bond, the system fails and fails

@Joe Blow Why Is Every Word In Your Comment Capitalised

The smug Megumin pfp makes this comment a dozen times funnier


11:01
This breakdown about how and why we react when asked questions was phenomenal.


He's trying to talk like a cop because he thinks the law is on his side. That's so pathetic. And the fact that he fucking killed a guy who just pushed him and made him scrape his arm is just so so scary.


He had zero remorse during the whole interview / interrogation. Unbelievable. He better not step on the wrong line in the prison in next 20 years othwrwise someone  may  do the " self-defence" that he done to someone. Enjoy the prison. You deserve every bit of it

it was reported he got beaten by a few black inmates and they stated "thats for your victim!" when the family heard, they said they never made a deal with anyone to hurt him. so yeah, hes walking around with a target on his back


Watching the victim take steps back… absolutely breaks my heart

@舜帝 We learn from as young as kindergarten what the appropriate response to physical provocation is. <br>Hint; it's not murder.

@舜帝 We learn from as young as kindergarten what the appropriate response to physical provocation is.
Hint; it's not murder.

@Biaru i hear you, but there is a difference between pushing someone, and taking their life.. should he have full on shoved him? No. Does that in anyway justify the shooter for taking a man’s life? Absolutely not.

@Jules I think the Russia is wrong,for the same reason.

@舜帝 so you think the shooter was in the right?

@舜帝 are you saying what the shooter did was justified?

watch the dead guy push the shooter first,break my heart too.

At 40:49 he says “bbb” and just barely holds himself back from saying “black.”

The video was enough. The interview only served to elevate the conviction from manslaughter to first or second degree murder.

@honchoryanc I think it might have been different if he shut his mouth and asked for a lawyer.

Would the conviction been different if he said he was in fear of his life and shivering with his head down in the interview crying?

Buddy ass thought he was justified going home to some ass. Oh yeah officer I took one shot as he stepped to me and I just feared for my life but I didn't over do it I only shot once. Then footage literally show us dude pushed him, stood there, seen the gun and backed up instantly, never even came forward. This guy just got the biggest goofy of the year award

Amy Warren ugh, I just watched that one again last night. I can’t get over the fact that these two both referred to themselves as “the real victim here!” (This one by proxy).

Dunn did so repeatedly... in a phone call that he knows is being recorded, yet somehow he can’t help but keep saying shit like “they’re violent” and that he’s glad he’s not in a cell with “those animals”... you can just hear the grin in his voice. It’s sickening.

@Mark Acklin I dont think that my comments are any good, but I get a lot of likes.

Absolutely! Like Micheal "fluid motion" Dunn. The definition of humblebrag fs.

Imagine going to jail for 1/4 of your life, because you're unhappy with a strangers social etiquette 🤦♂


People like this guy are the reason that one florida agency had to tell people not to shoot at a hurricane.


The fact that he kept the gun pointed at him while he was running back into the store is just infuriating. I imagine that he was just living out his fantasy of being a ‘’heroic" cop, and he was enjoying it.


Update: He was sentenced to 20 years in prison with credit for 92 days served and his appeal was denied. He was attacked by another inmate.


Can you do a video about someone completely innocent being interrogated. I think it would be interesting to compare them to the guilty

@Tavawesome Yes technically

I think you're thinking of literally

@Golly GodMy bad . Wrong name Ryan Waller, I think. Interrogated by Detective Dalton, bad cop

@Gordon Alias Me The Michel Rafferty case was the one where he kidnapped an 8 year old, did inappropriate things to her and then killed her, there was no gun? no bullets involved??? as far as i was aware, just rewatched that one the other day and there was no mention of a bullet???

Watch his "Guilty until proven innocent" video, that's one.

@KLAbe i don’t think thats how it works buddy

Bit late but guilty until proven innocent did this. But you've probably watched it already

They did, guy had been shot in the face, but they treated him as guilty. The guy was interrogated by detective Dalton. It's a grim watch

Look for the case of detective Thompson "wrong way to interrogate someone"

He's posted one but I'd like to see more

I'd like to see the difference between one who is completely not guilty and ones (like him) who don't FEEL guilty or as if they did a single negative thing

This exists now if you didn’t already know

Yes please because while I agree with a lot of these theories as to how people behave. I know that not all of them are true for me and would get me in trouble if I was innocent. Lol

There’s one I saw..” guilty until proven innocent “

There actually is. Look on this channels videos

There’s already a video of Casey Anthony

@KLAbe No they aren't. They aren't innocent. They are TREATED as if they are innocent by the court.

Think you’ll like the newest vid on his channel (:

YeysBaws! Lol nice! Didn’t even see that he posted. Thanks for letting me know

@leila lalala and one guy in the video spent two years in prison for nothing.

He just made one today. Are u still here my dude?

I have seen this exact comment on other crime related videos haha!

@Faustini great recommendation. That's a great story, especially the follow up. I really felt for that poor dad

You should watch Internet historians video of balloon boy, there's no murder and stuff but I think you'd like it

Hayden S Hi, could link this channel/website ? I look it and it’s something else.

Sue Donnery I would really like to know what you're implying here

He's done it before, they were just removed cause of YT

He has. I can't remember the name of the particular one I'm thinking of, but I'm sure someone can.

Technically they are all innocent until the verdict.


So this guy walks around strapped looking to start shit with people and prepared to kill them if desired or if he feels scared. I consider him a threat to the community.


This guy terrifies me because he's not a psychopath, he's not a sociopathic narcissist, he's not a serial killer, he genuinely believes that it's perfectly okay for him to murder a man after physically confronting the man's wife and face zero repercussions because "Well, they were doing something wrong and I'm jumpy with my gun." There are millions of Punisher-wannabes out there with this asshole's exact mindset trying to play vigilante, and the police are completely oblivious that they are worshiped by these trigger-happy animals.

This guy terrifies me because he's not a psychopath, he's not a sociopathic narcissist, he's not a serial killer, he _genuinely_ believes that it's perfectly okay for him to murder a man after physically confronting the man's wife and face zero repercussions because "Well, they were doing something wrong and I'm jumpy with my gun."

@David Sermek Sorry, but no self respecting husband would ever put up with a man approaching his wife the way the shooter approached the woman. Most men classify another male who is within arms reach of his woman and being verbally aggressive towards his woman is a physical threat. In that scenario you will invoke the protective instinct of the woman's man.

We can only speculate how the husband perceived the threat potential of the male acting aggressively towards his wife. The husband's perception resulted in his decision that physically removing the threat from proximity to his wife was deemed necessary.

It is very likely that Mike, feeling emboldened knowing that he had the fire arm, would have persisted in acting aggressively even towards the husband if the husband and simply engaged him verbally. Mike has a history of acting aggressively towards others and it is plausible to conclude that Mike might have pulled the gun on the husband regardless of what the husband did.

@David Sermek because it’s not his job to enforce the law, not to mention DREJKA WAS ALSO PARKED ILLEGALLY AT THE TIME HE CONFRONTED THIS WOMAN. He had no right to tell anyone how to park anywhere and he definitely didn’t have the right to take a life because he was pushed over some bs that he started. Get real dude.

If your first response to getting shoved, just a freaking PUSH, is to take out a gun then you’re pathetic and you need prison, just like Drejka.

@David SermekI believe the words used in the video was a “verbal altercation”. The victim saw a stranger getting into a shouting match with his wife, and while shoving’s not my first response, I know I’d see red if that happened with me and my partner. At any rate, Drejka could have minded his own business about parking of all things.

@David Sermek from what I know, if you were in this situation, you wouldn't know what the man was confronting your wife about. You are shopping and notice through the window that this older man is taking pictures of your vehicle, pointing and yelling at your wife, and you go out there and push him to get him away from her.
He doesn't have the knowledge of why the man was confronting his wife, just that an older man was yelling and harassing her, photographing, and circling her car, while he and their child were in the store.
it's obvious he noticed through the window because his child stayed inside the store and didn't come out with him. I believe he absolutely thought his wife was in danger and was trying to protect her from a creep, which obviously he was because of what we know about this man now.
Did he maybe push him a little hard? Sure, but I completely believe he genuinely was concerned for his wife, and I have to say I would be the same way.

bruh how the fuck did he physically confront the man's wife?? it was a verbal confrontation at worst, and that's only if you're really that keen on calling it a confrontation; after all, he was just trying to explain to her that she isn't allowed to park where she had, and get her to park elsewhere, or at least get out of that parking spot<br>I seriously don't understand how everyone is venerating Drejka but meanwhile disregarding the fact that the other guy punted him to the ground.. he was not even slightly warranted in tackling and shoving him like that, like wtf everyone?

Drejka truly believes he was the hero in this situation. Everything he ever learned has been filtered in his head and changed the original meaning. He justifies all his actions, and embellishes those of others. Crazy.


Notice how when he is alone in that room he can move his right arm around freely and without any problems but as soon as the detective steps in he takes it off and isn’t even able to shake hands with the right.


This man is so rough to watch. Neutralize, threat, target, negative... he's roleplaying like a cop. Embarrassing

If that was a cop though, he would have been found not guilty....right?

@Jordan Denison my two communities collide

his dad was a state trooper so probably why.

He’s role playing more like a mercenary…he came there with intent to interrogate and hopefully execute people…he’s been watching Deathwish too many times 😯

Man's definitely religiously drinks monster and listens to five finger death punch

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!! That goes for both of them!!

I love how he used the word “neutralized” to get understanding from the cops and looked to them for approval, but the cop pretended like he had no idea what the word meant and said “What do you mean by that?” Lmaooo

@Daily Dissent might explain why they seem like an occupying force

He probably just got his gun and wanted to use it. He went looking for trouble.

Totally. He is SOOO insanely arrogant and way too eager for an excuse to use his gun as  “self-defense”

35:00 min "force multiplier"

And all the "negative sir!", was so cringeworthy. If I it wasn't about a young father being shot, it would be even funny.

35:00 min _"force multiplier"_

And all the _"negative sir!",_ was so cringeworthy. If I it wasn't about a young father being shot, it would be even funny.

He neutralized his life for 20 years and now he is a target for the homeboys on the mainline.  He’ll have a negative experience.

And there are actual cops that are like this

@Soleilune Yeah totally, thats exactly it

Wants to be a soldier, but dislikes people shooting back.

These are the kinds of people that become cops.

And cops role-play like military personnel!

@Jordan Denison He stands at the end and Shouts "You got HAWKED"

@Mr man

A few of the top police academies loosely model their programs off DOD tactics and training.

Not even cops should talk like that, soldiers should 😂

@Daily Dissent nah dude, in my unit it's cringy and made fun of all the time unless it's on the comms.<br>people need to differentiate between language in day to day life and language for the comms and operational life

@Daily Dissent nah dude, in my unit it's cringy and made fun of all the time unless it's on the comms.
people need to differentiate between language in day to day life and language for the comms and operational life

@Steven Glikin

Lotta people in uniform say "copy that" and "negative". Nothing wrong with it as long as you're not a complete tool and a poser 😂

You forgot "force multiplier"... Even them cops were like "what  the hell boy?"

@Blackened Featherz anyone who talks like this is cringey af, in my unit we only talk like that through a radio, and laugh at each other when we accidentally bring it into face to face or normal conversations

Average joes who talk like this are super duper cringe

He wants to act like he’s a big boy, and that he’s actually making a difference, even if he has to force it to happen

@chum bucket guy just spent the whole fight crouched in the corner using his ranged attack

Officer what was I supposed to do, the man was about to get a combo

They realized that right away and new exactly how to play him, calling him "partner" and cracking jokes about being handsome.

People like him make me question my own sanity he's so sure of himself

Which is why he went around looking for fights, so he would have an excuse to pull his gun and kill someone.


It sounded like the investigators were almost begging him to say he was fearful for his life, and the guy just couldn’t take a hint and instead kept digging himself into a deeper hole.


To anyone trying to defend this dude, one of the first things he said is "he hit me from behind" He knows he had to lie cause he has no legal justification for shooting him down.


This person is such a coward.  He wants enforce laws, even though it’s not his job. But someone pushes him and he shoot’s him instead of defending himself with his hands like a real man.  This guy is pathetic and weak.


The man was remorseless. The only emotion I saw was when he talked about his dogs. Suburban vigilantes are the most dangerous.

And these types almost always are middle to upper middle class men in suburban environments who despite, or perhaps, because of their material security, feel the need to larp as rambo if (poor) criminals step up to them. They’re also massive dorks.

Note that this shouldn’t be taken as a blanket statement on responsible gunowners, but rather a specific type of person who if they didn’t own guns would be just as confrontational or even call the police on little cause.


As a disabled person I get being frustrated with people who park in handicapped spots but I would never kill anyone over it

What are you gonna do, a wheelie on them?

@Rob Oc it doesn't matter what country you live in. I am a disabled person. I know plenty of other disabled people as well. It is ridiculous how difficult it is to get a placard for a vehicle, and even far more difficult than that to get a designated license plate, here in the USA.

There was no justifiable reason for that man to approach that family; and far less justification for anybody to have been shot. It's disgusting and disturbing how you refuse to stop justifying the shooter shooting anybody.

@Japheth Grimm well I live in a country that calls out ignorant and arrogant people like that. If they were disabled, they would've had some sort of pass or sticker on their car. But they didn't. If anyone was disabled, it would've been a pretty big factor in the case. Considering it's not mentioned once, it's doubtful. Unless you know something the detectives don't? You're clutching at straws and it's embarrassing.<br>People like them would get called out where I live. The arrogance is palpable and the people where I live wouldn't tolerate it. Then again, I don't live in a crazy gun toting country. It's incredible you're not even able to admit the family were wrong to park there to begin with.

@Rob Oc again, you don't know who is disabled and who isn't. You can't always look at someone, especially with a few seconds of grainy video, and determine whether or not they are disabled. Once again, that guy should have minded his own business and nobody should have been shot. There's nothing more to it than that.

@Japheth Grimm the mother shouldn't be parking in spaces that are reserved for people with disabilities. The fact that the space was used and no one with a disability left the car is pretty ignorant. Not to mention, arrogant. Nobody would've been shot had the father approached the situation with civility. He acted in violence because of words. The subsequent response was wrong but so was every action leading up to that

@Rob Oc you don't know who is disabled and who isn't. Regardless, that guy should have minded his own business and nobody should have been shot.

@Japheth Grimm Maybe the mother (who isn't disabled) should've parked somewhere else and led by example in front of her kids (who also aren't disabled). Maybe the father should've asked what was going on first instead of initiating physical violence. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes 🤷♂

Exactly. Who knows, maybe the woman and/or kids are disabled. Not like getting one of those damn "handicapped" parking plates are easy to acquire. Either way, this was not a life or death situation. Drejka should have minded his own business and left this family alone.


I do agree that Drejka shouldn't have been pushed, but if a random guy was snooping around my car with the mother of my children and aggressively speaking to her, as a man I would've considered doing the same thing. The evidence is clear that as soon as Drejka pulled out his fire arm the other man began to back away several steps before being shot. Drejka didn't give him a warning, shoot him somewhere that couldn't potentially end up fatal. Nothing. Not only that but he's had encounters with other people in traffic negatively and threatened them with his gun. All this over a parking spot he didn't even need himself. He was looking for a fight. He easily could have calmly said to the lady that it's rude to park there when she doesn't need to be and end of conversation. Bickering back and forth does nothing but cause a fight. He has no remorse for what he did and said he wouldn't have changed what he did. Hope he never sees his dogs again.

Never draw a weapon to injure you shoot to kill or not at all!

I agree with a good chunk of what you said but one thing I wanted to mention is a point that is very often misunderstood. You said that he could have threatened him with the gun or shot him somewhere that wouldn't be as lethal. That's a very common mistake a lot of people make, and I understand why. "Common sense" would say anything that can be done to avoid killing someone is better than killing them, but what changes that is the presence of a lethal weapon. The short of it is that if you draw a firearm on someone, you SHOULD be shooting to kill. The reason is that, A: shooting to wound/warming shots are irresponsible and dangerous as a stray round could hit someone else and even shooting someone in an extremity can be lethal, from blood loss, shock, etc. and B: a firearm is a lethal weapon, so if you draw a firearm, you're doing so with the known risk of death, so to pull it out to "threaten" someone in the hopes they go away without shooting admits that you still believed that there was a chance the situation could be resolved without killing them. You're admitting through your actions that you opted for the lethal option without believing it was wholly necessary. The same goes for wounding someone. This is something that very few people seem to realize, and I figure a good portion of that is due to media (entertainment as well as news) and humans' natural instinct not to harm other people. Now, there are some things that change that depending on the situation and your duty as a private citizen vs. a government official (are you obligated to flee from or confront the threat) or if the nature of the threat changes on the fly, etc., etc., but for the most part, if you draw a lethal weapon on someone, the assumption is that you believe lethal force is necessary.


Dive into his priors.  If her husband hadn't showed up, he was going to use the gun on her.  Kids or no kids.  He did it before in a road rage incident.


so sickening how while michael is lying and fabricating his story, that woman must’ve been in so much pain at the loss she just witnessed

@Danny J I watched the sentencing. The judge gave an excellent detailed step by step explanation of this incident and why it was not self defense. The judge also brought up previous incidents provoked by Drejka. Drejka was a wanna-be cop who appointed himself lot monitor of the convenience store parking lot. The store owner had told Drejka about confronting people for using the H/C parking space, saying something along the lines of "it's not worth it. You're going to run into the wrong person one day." Reportedly Drejka replied, "That's why I carry."

The judge also noted how ironic it was that when Drejka drove into the lot to confront the woman parked in the H/C space, he himself parked illegally. Supposedly Drejka would sit in his car across the street and watch the H/C space. When someone without a H/C placard or plate parked in the H/C space he would drive into the lot kinda Starsky & Hutch style to confront them. I don't know what kind of car he drove, but I'd bet money it was a Crown Vic.

@Danny J She was parked illegally but she didn't take the space from Drejka. There were MULTIPLE empty spots MUCH closer to the door so, unless someone pulled in in a handicapped van there was really no problem. Drejka is NOT the parking police nor is he the owner of the store therefore it was NOT his place nor his right to harass her about parking there. If he was so disturbed by it he should have either stayed in his car and called the police or gone inside and let the clerk/manager know. about it and let THEM handle it.

Maybe she would not be in any pain if she would not have parked in an illegal parking spot!!!! She is the one that started the ball rolling!!!

I honestly can’t even tell if he’s intentionally lying I think he might just be delusional honestly.


I love how these interrogations are always just slow, painful processes of letting the suspect know they’re fucked

@dethw1sh ohhhhh yeah never, no fuckin shot

@dethw1sh ohhhhh yeah never, no fuckin shot

@Vexinal "Lucky for me I always use a force multiplier to clear all threats."

I remember watching another YouTuber that had a scale of how fucked the suspect felt. It was from “comfortable” to “i’m fuck for life”

There's no more effective strategy than letting an idiot dig their own grave.

Not so much letting the suspect know as much as letting tge suspect unknowingly incriminate themselves.
When your freedom is on the line dont ever conswnt to these "casual" interviews...
Everything you say from then on needs to be well thought out from every perspective because it can and will be held against you.......you know the rest

@cats dogs baby <b>yaaawwwnnn</b> what's that word mean again

@cats dogs baby *yaaawwwnnn* what's that word mean again

He wasn't fucked yet, though. The detective sheriff deputy believed him and let him go, but the DA prosecuted him. He left a free man after this interview. That's why JCS put considerable emphasis on the fact that he didn't believe that his life was in danger at the time he was pushed. The district attorney chose to charge him with the crime because he gave no indications his life was truly in danger. He should have remained silent and spoken to a lawyer, but that would have most likely led to an arrest on probable cause.

Even though they deserve it I still get second hand embarrassment

Just the build up is enough to keep me going😬😬😬

these are my favorite videos to watch. it’s so interesting to see what the tactics are and how planned and technical interrogations are

Except they literally let the man go after the interrogation, and he was only taken off the street weeks later by instruction of the district attorney. The cops literally wanted to let him go.

@Deathw1sh. Totally agree, the police are always " if you're innocent, there's no need for a lawyer and we won't be able to help you once you lawyer up" which translates to "if  you're an idiot, there's no need for a lawyer and we won't be able to trick you or into saying something incriminating".  Side note,  if you get arrested and are actually innocent , never agree to do a polygraph as generally non criminal people will be very anxious about what's going on and can easily fail a polygraph (At least that's what my criminology teacher taught us). Also , I am not trying to be anti police at all just pro individual rights. 😜

Lmao.. you're dead on right there. It's fascinating though.

He could have ended the interview at any time.

@Luis Sanchez sometimes you can be falseley accused too

@trollolol could've is operative. Does possible injury warrant murder? Why not just press charges and waste everyones time and money, now someone's father doesn't have time with their kids to watch them grow up.

@Wolfsit The man could've busted his head open on the concrete. Don't assault other people, and you don't get shot. Simple.

@⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ , stop you from incriminating yourself and usually end these interrogations more quickly

LOL I thought the same I said ‘this dude gave everything he needed to be locked up’

@dethw1sh seriously. Don’t say a single word.

@⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ , your lawyer will seal your mouth, keep lips closed at least...

I love it because king YouTube videos are amazing

@⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ , advise you on what info you should and should not answer too how much you should divulge, and to what level of detail. generally a lawyer is gonna try and keep you from saying anything that will throw them the case

@Luis Sanchez well innocent people are coerced into confessing a crime they didn’t do all the time, so whether you did it or not you should always ask for a lawyer and never say a word to the cops

@trollolol ah yes pushing someone over = gunshot thru the head

@Luis Sanchez "bUt I fElT tHrEaTenEd bY ThE bIg AnD sCaRy BlAcK mAn!"

@⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ , anything you say in the interrogation can be used to incarcarate you. if you say nothing, which is completly legal, you have a much better chance of being proved not guilty.

This guy could have got away with it if he didn’t talk

@dethw1sh I'm kinda confused on this law stuff, so could you explain how or what a lawyer would do in this type of situation?

They try so damn hard to get outta the pit they keep diggin themselves in 💀

Like an animal that's got caught in quicksand, they slowly sink, and the more they talk, the quicker they sink.

excellent lessons to be learned by viewers though. after seeing all these videos, including the innocent ones, i am not talking to any of these guys without a lawyer.


He was wrong for pushing him but pushing is not a reason to kill someone, these vigilantes look for any reason to spread the hate they keep

@Bellicose 20 he didn't sprint at all. He walked up and shoved him

Pushing him to the ground was wrong. And also, why park in a handicapped? But what about "de-escalate." Twenty years for manslaughter seems excessive. And also the decision by prison authorities to allow black prisoners to beat him up. Florida should admit they are not enforcing "stand your ground."

@Christopher Chamberlain How are you confused? He literally provoked this whole situation…going out of his way to play handicapped police, verbally attacking a woman while she’s just sitting on her car with her kids and taking pictures of some random lady’s license plate is NOT ok!

@StereoPatios Seeing how I  have seen people literally shoot another for far less, and get off, numerous times, I'm scratching my head on this one. He was literally assaulted right?

which is bullshit - pushing is often merely the first thing that happens - the head stamping comes later

@Bellicose 20 I'm  actually on the fence on this one. He was physically assaulted. I've seen "Stand Your Ground" cases that didn't even come close to this and never make it to a courtroom. I think any person that does this is a douche but as far as crimes go? The USA is the wild west and this guy goes to prison? It don't add up.

I'm no trained professional in confrontation but I would have to agree with his assessment. "If someone comes at me like that, I'm assuming their coming back for more".

Really tough call this one. A better lawyer would have got him off. Keeping silent would have too.

@mazystarr I live in a metro will just over a million people, I am not denying that these people exist, I am merely stating that they are in the wrong.

@Melissa Coulter you are thinking with your emotions just like they were and look how that ended up. I would protect my wife by going outside, asking what's going on, and calling the police. Like a rational responsible adult. Taking pictures of a license plate and arguing with a woman isn't actually assault or cause to assault someone in the real world. I have two cauliflower ears to prove I can beat someone's ass, but I know that the best fights are the ones you don't get in. Especially when crazy people own guns and you have kids. You are imagining a world where men defend their wives and everyone sings praises and nothing bad happens to the hero, but in real life sometimes the hero gets shot and killed. There were other ways to deal with that where cooler heads prevail. Just because reality isn't pretty doesn't mean I don't want to defend my wife.

@Brooklyn B3 considering your perspective, which i really don' believe as honnest, in what kind of logic, yelling at someone allows you to assault the yeller and would make it self defense, because you suppose that it implies danger even though there was no phisycal harm no danger and no threat to her life.<br>But in the other hand, getting assaulted by surprise, being pushed to the ground wich implies physical harm and possible threat to life, would be less legitimate as a reason to react with self defense ?

@Melissa Coulter Defending someone does not necesseraly imply pushing by surprise someone to the ground so hard he could break some of his bones. Especially not when you're defending the person from the terrible agression of being talked too loud.

I’m feeling like people are always looking for a reason these days. Best minding my own business, folks are crazy or the littlest things. Like the say, you never know. People are insane

That's debatable (whether he should have fired) but yes, pushing someone to the ground IS justification for pulling your weapon aka defending yourself.

You are right on the first part: the husband shouldn't have turned a verbal argument into a physical one.

@Bellicose 20 Yea I agree, the other guy was in the wrong too, the irony is that if Drejka was a normal and good law abiding citizen he could have actually pressed charges for being pushed like that. But instead he prefers to be a murderer....

Pushing someone away from your partner, who is being yelled at and abused by this, is self defence. He was protecting his wife because he thought she was in danger. Pushing isn’t wrong. Not in this case.

@meganjerai he could of handled it different. it was not smart to just run up on someone and shove them. you gotta be smarter than that. especially nowadays you dont know who is a psycho walking around with a gun. I never get into an altercation with anyone for that reason. if some punk is tailgating me I move and get out of their way. if someone tries to start something with me I back away and get out of there asap. because I'm not losing my life over some punk having a bad day or some loser wanting to act out his cop fantasy.

@Bellicose 20 you gotta be kidding me...

He was  not wrong for defending his family against a strange man.

Lessons learned:
-Don't use handicap parking spots.
-Don't play parking lot's Batman.
-Keep your hands to yourself.
-Don't shoot a retreating man.

@Melissa Coulter Wow! Don't hold back now, tell me how you really feel.

@Bellicose 20 I don’t know if your a man or women but I find it troubling that A, if your a woman and your in your own car with your young children in the back and some crazy man pulls up and starts taking pictures or your license plate and then comes around and takes pictures from the front where you can clearly be in them and then the guy starts yelling and walking up to your car, you wouldn’t want someone, anyone, but especially your husband to push the guy away from you and your children? B, as a man you wouldn’t try to protect your wife and children from a crazy man who when you walk out is yelling and approaching your family? That man is a clear psychopath and who knows if the husband didn’t come out and he kept yelling and arguing with the woman, would he have shot her if she moved her hand to get her phone? It seems extremely possible that could have been another outcome. So to say that anyone else other than Michael was in the wrong here is absolutely disgusting.

@mazystarr I’m confused… you think it was wrong for a man who stopped at a convenient store with his family minding his own business, when all of a sudden the people in the store start yelling and screaming that a man outside is being crazy and yelling at a woman in the parking lot, he walks out to make sure it’s not HIS wife/kids and when it IS he pushes the man AWAY from his wife. He didn’t walk up out of nowhere and punch a random guy in the face???!! That man literally said he was coming from the damn WAWA down the road!! He full on only stopped when he saw a car parked n that spot and he wanted to make sure it was someone parked there legally because as he stated…”people do it everyday and it’s my pet peeve” If you wouldn’t come out and push some lunatic  who is screaming at your wife and kids, then I feel really bad for your wife and kids. People like you are the reason why we have such a disgusting society.

“They were wrong for killing George but police negligence/brutality is not a reason to riot , loot, burn, murder, etc”

@Bellicose 20 yea right bud, if he did anything OTHER than run up and immediately shove someone to the ground would have surprised me. If you haven't seen a million other people just like him then you've never lived in a big city before, talking through a situation is not really their modus operandi. Best to just ignore and avoid, unless you want to be in jail for shooting someone because that would be the only way to 'win' any kind of encounter here.

I should clarify that I don't think he is in the right for taking a father from his kids. Especially since he took a step back. I'm not taking his side but I'm saying they were both in the wrong.

If he pushes him and he hits his head he could die. In my opinion that is lethal force. Many people have died in fights. I also believe physical blows are lethal force. So I think it is more complicated than you suggest.  Do I think he's a good guy? No, but do I think it is ok to sprint and push someone to the ground? Also no. I don't think it is ok to physically assault someone unless you are defending yourself. The dad should have been more mature and not so quick to escalate the situation. He should have handled that without sprinting and throwing someone to the ground unless his family was in danger.


Interviewer : Is there anything you would change , looking back?
Suspect: No...?
That shows why you belong in prison. The correct answer is " Yes !  I would never have approached the car." This stunning lack of insight and entitlement puts the suspect at risk for reoffending.


If a guy is running at you and still coming…by the time you fall, get your weapon, raise your weapon prop your weapon with the other hand, he would be on top of you before you turn over in that distance

This guy so righteous, I can’t tell if he’s blatantly fabricating or if he is just one of those people that can’t fathom that he’s in the wrong so in his mind he actually remembers it the way he needs it to go.

The worst part is this guy could get the longest sentence and would never feel remorse because he really believes he is right…even if a video shows he’s wrong he would still disagree…craziness


He was so happy to find out he went from a victim to a killer, someone like him doesn't shoot someone because he wanted to deter him. He shot him because he wanted to kill someone.


this guy was so ready for the approval from law enforcement, he spilled the beans on everything. the investigators played their hand very well, too - never seeming too judgmental, so he'll continue to elaborate on his motivations and intentions

He forgot he was yelling at a women shot an unarmed man because it’s HIS store also his arm hurts so bad he couldn’t shake a hand.

he defended his life so he could spend it in prison. i thought what if that was a plain clothes officer. the victim would have assaulted in officer. i don't believe a trained officer would make a bch move like that or be off guard to someone rushing him from behind. if he did, the whole town would be on fire. i'm sorry too.

@la pace sia con voi there showing it in slow motion. and pausing reality. Also, the perspective is high and angled down. The perspective of Mikael is low and angled up.  wHEN I FIRST SAW THE VIDEO, FOR ME, IT looked as if he did step towards him. after watching again, i was looking at his legs , not torso, you clearly see the attacker steps back. However again, after getting slammed to the GROUND HARD., from behind,!!! getting hurt and disoriented , in the split second, NOT PAUSED, NOT SLOW MOTION, He defended himself, and from the perspective of Mikael, not looking at legs, ONLY HEAD AND TORSO, ...IT WILL SEEM FOR A SECOND, HE WAS GOING TO CONTINUE TO ATTACK.... THIS IS MY OPINION.  i FEEL BAD THE ILLEGALY PARKED ATTACKER DIED. BUT HE DID  START THE VIOLENT ASSULT FIRST .....AND ILLEGALY PARKED..  PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT , AS MUCH OF A DICK MOVE IT IS, PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK, AND EXPLAIN LAW, WITHOUT GETING VIOLENTLY PUSHED TO THE GROUND.  They also plated the race card. ITS GETTING OLD. Being black does not give you the right to illegally park and violently push people to the ground because your mad they calling you out.  WHAT IF MIKEAL WAS A COP.  ALL CERCOMSTANCE THE SAME...  PRETEND, IMAGINE,    WHAT WOULD THE COURT CASE BE LIKE.....?     EXACTLY,  THERE WOULNT BE ONE. THE ATTACKER WAS KILLED, BECASUE HE ATTCKED WITHOUT PROVOCATION.

it was on surveillance. how was it video manipulated? if the shooter was dazed and confused, he shouldn't carry a fire arm. the attacker backed off. even if mr drejka did not see that (which i don't believe. he was trigger happy), again he shouldn't be allowed to carry a fire arm. you don't shoot over an off guard bch shove

@la pace sia con voi yes. but the perspective of Michael, on the ground, as the attackers body turns, it looks like he was coming at him, and dazed and confused he reacted with one shot. bad luck for the attacker, he could have lived. he needs to appeal , and get a better lawyer, that wont allow video manipulation to fool the jury. slow motion and pausing , is not reality of decision making. THEY FOOLD THE JURY. He needs a lot of help after this.

as soon as the firearm came out, the victim backed up. he had a family.

YEA, OF PROTECTING HIMSELF FROM THE VIOLENT ATTACKER.....o k..

@CACairns Don't watch the "Guilty until proven innocent" one!

@G N I literally pointed that out in my comment.

"Some people aren't listening, just waiting for their turn to talk."

@CACairns theres also ones who coax confessions from innocent people as well, theyre not all good

Hadn't thought about it much until now, but the detectives in these videos are genuinely just trying to get the truth and enforce justice by the book. By no means does this represent all of peace keeping, but it does a good job of showing how it is done when done  correctly.

These videos are strangely reassuring. I hope if I'm ever in a bad situation, I have one of these detectives figuring out what happened. Fingers crossed that this comment ages well.

Oh yeah, he said literally everything that could incriminate him. I feel like you could just sense the absolute dumbfoundedness when he says “it felt like a split second” and the officer just says “ok......... alright Micheal uh, we’ll be right back.”


It baffles me why these interviews last longer than 5 minutes. Even if it was a clear cut case of self-defense, the only sane thing to do is to ask for a lawyer straight away.

@HamsterFromAbove Yes, however it's like being without boxing experience and taking on a heavyweight Olympic boxer. It's uneven from the start, and there is no way they can win.

Its the equivalent of those 5'11 bridge videos, it's obvious what to do but dumb <b>***</b> still getting the roof ripped off their vans.

Its the equivalent of those 5'11 bridge videos, it's obvious what to do but dumb ***** still getting the roof ripped off their vans.

Then we wouldn't have these interesting interrogation videos to watch and argue about. lol

The average person that is in these interview rooms isn't very intelligent. They don't realize how screwed they are. They think that they can talk their way out of the room.


I like (in a morbid kind of way, I know this is a homicide and all) how the detective starts explicitly and clearly asking him "So you never heard a threat? Didn't say anything to him? No indication that he was going to continue attacking you?" at around 25:00 . Again, mind you, I'm aware that this is a real case and someone actually died, not trying to make light of it or 'root for' the suspect, but part of me was just going "dude should have asked for a lawyer, because he's handing the prosecution the case on a silver platter in that part of the conversation. This is textbook 'what not to say to cops'."

Your comment could have been a 1/10th as long and still got your point across


This situation for this man and his poor family who had to witness him be shot in front of them is so horrific. Prayers for his family ❤❤


You can just tell that michael always wanted to use his gun. Its a sad case where 2 families have gotten destroyed just because because michael thought it was the only solution to end a fight. Michael killed a man that stepped up for his wife and kids. Even though the man shouldn't have pushed michael. Shooting was defenitely not the answer. He might felt threatened but thats never a reason to kill a father, a aggressor or just a loving man that backed away when the gun was pointed at him. There are no winners in this case. I just hope michael will come clean and feels bad ending a fathers life for a push. He got shot and killed right in front of the eyes of his kids and wife.
Rest in peace and i really hope their families will do good without any fathers around.
My thoughts go out to them and its just sad.
No more words needed.

The victim shoved him in response to a stranger getting into a verbal altercation with the mother of his children. Over a parking dispute.

Have some perspective


“Drejka was named as the aggressor in four prior road incidences where he threatened drivers with a gun”

Surprise, surprise.

@jjcoola998 It's not just white dudes. Don't make this about race.

@jjcoola998 Shut it. It's enough they they're racist, you don't have to be as well.

@Mercmad black people don’t refer to themselves as blacks...

@jjcoola998 same thing, swap white with black and legal kill to illegal kill. Lol.

@James Tomasino just wondering was he also known for only targeting black people?

@jjcoola998 how you gon bring race into this clown

@dsch1znit The shooter was just that. He wasn't threatened and he didn't feel.his life was in danger. He thought he was the arbiter of who should park where. He isn't.

@James Tomasino that's absolutely crazy, man. I kinda shocks me that you knew this man almost personally, and now you're here. It truly is a small world after all.

@jjcoola998 macaroon shouldn't have parked there

@Eddie How is that not natural selection? You mean to tell me that having a weapon isn’t natural? It’s 100% human nature to have/use weapons for self defense.

At least we agree this was a case of stupidity at its finest. I carry a gun everywhere I go, I don’t walk around like a sherif like Dreika did, I avoid all confrontation and never want to use it. Not my job to tell an asshole they parked in the wrong spot, it’s law enforcement’s job.... if Dreika truly felt that the driver should have been in some sort of trouble, he should have just called the police, he wouldn’t be in prison right now if that was the case.

This man was LOOKING for a situation where he could kill someone in “self defense”

Imo this case is what happens when three idiots/hit heads collide. Natural selection occurred, 1 hot head leaves wit their life, without their loved one and without a felony. When stuff like this happens, it’s best to leave the situation. If a crazy person approaches your car, don’t engage, leave. The shooter was definitely justified but at the same time wasn’t as he had caused the entire conflict imo, this is why you don’t get physical with strangers, you have no idea if they have a gun.

@scurvypilled he isn’t the first racist in the comments yet you point him out. Whack

@Michael Stack he meant four not for I need you to know this you look very silly especially with the draco stuff

@Michael Stack his grammar is right and yours is wrong though..?

@jjcoola998 derp.... Sure there is and every person that slights you for whatever reason is racist too right? <br>Seriously if you spend all your time looking for it, don't be surprised you find it when it's not even there....

@jjcoola998 derp.... Sure there is and every person that slights you for whatever reason is racist too right?
Seriously if you spend all your time looking for it, don't be surprised you find it when it's not even there....

@jjcoola998 and plenty of us blacks too ....

im amazed at his capacity to threaten without shooting. cheers.

Draco was named as the aggressor in for prior Road incidents I am not a grammar Nazi I just have grammar OCD. And I use the phone auto dictate, that’s why it says Draco. And who are we to judge Draco may well have been named in for prior road incidents. Thank you for the info.

i live nearby where this took place, and drejka absolutely had a reputation for being a loudmouth vigilante. a co worker of mine claims he got into a verbal altercation with him once, and i don’t doubt his claims.

this was sadly inevitable.


The truth is, had Drejka stopped when he fell down on the floor and called the cops, he probably would have won the "argument". But he decided to escalate and took out the gun 😕 that's when he screwed everything.

@Melissa Coulter what was he protecting is family from exactly? Like this guy was super wrong to shoot him, but you shouldn’t just walk up and shove someone ether. The victim made a big mistake. Just like you never mess with road rage because you never know how mentally unstable the other driver is. You have no clue how crazy someone is, so you should show a lot more tact when dealing with people

Not necessarily. He approached a woman in a car with her children and was taking pictures of her license plate and then starts yelling at her and coming up on the car while inside the store people are yelling that some guy is screaming at a woman. The husband sees it’s his family and pushes the crazy man away to protect them. He clearly is trying to get this guy away from them which you can see by the way he pushes him. Where does the piece of shit land? Back and to the right of the car where his family is.


Love when geniuses incriminate themselves when they forfeit their rights and talk to law enforcement without legal counsel.


Him carrying a weapon made him feel superior therefore he had no problem starting a confrontation. He knew he was protected and gave zero sh*ts about any one else's safety. I'm sure he walked around feeling like a god.


I’m 5 minutes in laughing at this man saying “nothings broken, just scraped up” and then making a makeshift sling outta his shirt. Man’s is desperate for sympathy


He seems to be the type of guy who thinks he's an Army Ranger after attending a free 1-hour self defense class..

@Chuck Sheppard Exactly, thank you!!  Drejka did the world a favor by taking out that POS drug addict McG even though that was not his intention.  Hopefully McG's kids grow up learning not to lay hands on strangers like daddy did.

@Indian Noodle You're all speaking in hindsight after watching the video 100 times. Real life doesn't happen like that.  You have a split second to react in order to protect yourself and that's what Drejka did.  He fired ONE well-placed shot AFTER being violently pushed to the ground with his attacker bearing down on him.  Totally justifiable.  Had he emptied the clip in him I would agree that it was excessive force but he didn't.  Too bad for McGlockton that Drejka knew how to use his fire arm.

@Chuck Sheppard he wasnt going toward his car, he was going toward the shop. I strongly believe that if the roles were reversed and the black man was shouting and swearing at a white mother with ther kids, and the white father came out to stop the situation which he then gets shot, y’all would be saying the black guy should get the death penalty.

@Sabrason no, he didnt pull his gun then fire. He got shoved because he was yelling at a random mother w her kids (which he probably would’ve pulled his gun on, when you know his damn history), then he pulled his gun out, waited 2.5 seconds while mcg BACKED UP, then he shot him. He KNEW he was backing up, and he still shot. He was just waiting for a situation where he could shoot someone because he is a wannabe police officer /military officer.

@Indian Noodle adrenaline? boy tf. adrenaline does NOT make you shoot a man who is backing away from you.

Bro relax not everybody is as trained as you are

@Chuck Sheppard he should have just got in his illegally parked vehicle and driven off with the realisation that his nosey parker ways aren’t appreciated by all.

I bet that’s how you felt. Takes one to know one.’

Cant stand men like this ... a license and a few hours at the shooting range and they think they can do whatever they want confronting people like they're police

holy shit yes. Give this man a fucking award.

holy shit yes. Give this man a fucking award.

So he should hesitate and let the guy pull his own piece ?  Should he  let the man get in his vehicle where he probably has his own weapon ? What is your next step Dr Hindsight ? What would you have done in this high pressure incident ? You've been attacked, you’re on the ground, a big dude who may or may not want to kill you.... what do you do Matlock ? The only thing I can say is, even though I have military training and may not have handled it like this, the guy IS still alive and who knows what could have happened had he not fired.

He's a navy seal, not a ranger. And he watched a 4 hour dvd course.

Female cop, “what does your tattoo say?…………Awhhh—ohhhh”.  😂

Plays COD thinks he's in the military lol

Plays COD thinks he's in the military lol

@Indian Noodle I know I have a point...it's the same point many legal experts have who agree that it was a justified SYG shooting.  McG was high on MDMA and had a hx of assaulting a PO - were you aware of that??  He hiked up his pants and took 2-3 more steps TOWARDS Drejka AFTER THE PUSH making any reasonable person fear for their life so Drejka did what any reasonable/rational person would do in a high-adrenaline situation after being assaulted yet his response was remarkably calm and measured considering he only used one well-place shot on center mass. Amazing.  Drejka didn't keep quiet and lawyer up immediately afterward and the Jury and Judge wanted to punish him for being a wannabe parking lot cop.  That's the only reason he was convicted.

@Sabrason "the bullet prevented a beating"? The gun alone, if he just pointed it at McG, would prevent a beating. The bullet was unnecessary. It took a life; a husband; and a father from 3 kids

or the kind of guy that thinks hes a navy seal because he plays call of duty

@Sabrason you have a point, but I think the gun would’ve been enough to scare him off. Nevertheless, it’s my opinion and not fact.

@Indian Noodle McG took 2-3 steps towards Drejka AFTER the push, was high on MDMA and had a hx of assaulting a PO...only reason he didn't continue was b/c Drejka pulled a gun and fired.  That bullet prevented a beating and possibly worse.

@max yoinkage He was assaulted...you like that word better??  He had no way of knowing whether McG was armed or not in the split second he had to defend himself after being assaulted so he was correct in assuming that McG was armed and had further bad intentions.   That's very reasonable and rational and is why many legal experts think it was justified use of the SYG law.  You clowns using hindsight to incorrectly claim that Drejka had all this time to think and process information in slow motion only revealed by watching the video many times AFTER THE FACT are extremely ignorant and surely have never been in a life-threatening situation before.

@max yoinkage he could’ve felt threatened but I don’t know. Adrenaline is a hell of a hormone. Nevertheless, he wasn’t in the right.

@Sabrason not a lot of people think about the adrenaline that’s pumping when you’re in a situation like that. I don’t think what he did was right, but I could see how it would be justified if the other dude walked closer and didn’t back up but could just be me. I think it should be draw the gun and train it on the attacker and make it clear you will shoot if they come any closer. Then again, adrenaline might mess with your senses.

literally all i could think while watching this

@Sabrason No. Just this particular person. As he said in his later statement, he is a wanna be ranger but daddy didn't allow him to be one so he seek satisfaction with effing with people in a convenient store parking lot. He was angry that he felt useless when he was pushed to the ground like a little girl so he cowardly took another man's life with his gun. Few firearm owners are like this and would certainly react differently.

Or former army reserves, thinking he's a damn green beret lmao

@Sabrason he wasn't under attack. He was shoved to the ground for not minding his business and then shot an unarmed man. This man is a coward.

How dare you he served In call of duty modern warfare

Just from his statements... all this negative, neutralize the thread and all this shit

Yes! Or someone that tried to get in the academy but was denied multiple times and now wanna be the neighborhood watch 😂

Does that hold true for every citizen who used their gun in self-defense after being attacked???

A free 1 hour self defense class, online. 🤦🏼♀ He's the worst type of human.

Somebody watched “what pretending to be crazy looks like”

Thinks he's an army ranger because his great grand pappi showed him some 'military' moves when he was 12.


The way he reenacts the event makes it seem like he's really proud of it...


when i heard the details of the crime my heart <b>broke</b> for this poor woman and her family. she and her husband were just trying to have a nice time with their children. and this fuckin wanna-be cop decided to shoot her partner, the father of her children. and her poor son that was in the store with his father. i hope she and her family is able to find peace. this is heartbreaking, and michael is pure evil and stupid.

I miss this channel, they are the gold standard for this content.... Netflix needs to pick them up.


I never realized that a 48-year-old man could be so stupid!  Talking to the police before even first talking to a lawyer?
