Love watching your takes, even as a widow of a LA Sheriff's deputy....Had to share with you an incident I had regarding bail: I was a court reporter working in a criminal court in Van Nuys, California when I got a buzz to go to my court room at 4:30 p.m. on a Friday afternoon -- we were the only court open. As I entered, every seat was full of evil looking bikers, and I mean standing room only. My judge was next to me as I entered and I said, "I think we need back up." It turns out, they were there turning in one of their own who had put his mother's house up for bail and they wanted to ensure he showed up, so they took it on themselves to turn him in.
You have gotta be kidding me. (I believe u, don't get me wrong). Now that's amazing. Tells me their serious (hope so) about following the rules they have made for themselves. 👍🏼🤣😆
This was in the late 70s, early 80s. Times were different, needless to say. I remember the day one law firm was allowed to wear colored shirts in their suits rather than all white... @@Sebastianmaz615
The Judge should be removed along with the DA. He should have been charged with attempted murder. Never leave your keys in your car; that's just stupid. Unfortunately, that is how bad the training is with some of these departments.
@@leatharay3565 Leftist here, I know the liberal perspective and partially agree with it. Liberals want to abolish the bail system because the rich can afford bail while poor people cannot. This leads to more situations like this being possible with rich convicts than with poor ones. The liberals' answer to this falls in two categories: 1. Tie bail amount to % of annual net worth increase (salary + assets) 2. Abolish the bail system and replace it with something else. Normally probationary period unless crime is serious, where no bail -> jail is established. Meanwhile the anarchist I am wants there to be no prison system so lol. It's still important to understand why other people want policies different than yours.
You don’t even want to know how crappy the Australian justice system is. For all of those charges, over here he would have probably got around 8yrs and served 3yrs. It’s crazy and must be so disheartening for the cops.
You know before 1920 the law had a simple solution for most crimes that simple solution was taken away for being too inhumane however according to the government it’s humane to let people like this back onto the street to commit the same crime again? We are beginning to get to a point where criminals have more power and rights then a law abiding citizen and that’s terrifying.
@@joquail000 You Australians already have to deal with the most wild animals. But you also have to deal with criminal punishment that actually makes americas look strict?! How do police officers even cope down there?
This was so extremely stressful. My head is pounding from this one. This dude should never be left out of prison, ever. He obviously has no redeeming qualities.
I’m with you! This incident should have never been able to happen. Multiple people in authority dropped the ball. The suspect is a POS doing what POS do but should not have been in society.
In the comments of the video about the hockey player, it's overwhelmingly obvious how much respect his viewers have for him. The majority were disagreeing, but I don't recall seeing anyone "call him out"; rather, they were kind, informative, and often apologetic. When you think someone's wrong - especially on the internet - this is not a common approach to take, so it really stood out! ✌️🍍
I am veterinarian and I work with police dogs. They are the absolute best. I worry for them all the time, but they are an essential part of the team. We don't deserve dogs, they are too good for us. TY for the crazy coverage Bruce, you and MHR are also the BEST.
My sweet elderly dog had sudden paralysis. Her entire body neck to feet. She could move her toes. Took her to thw veterinarian and he said he didnt see anything on the XRay but he wanted to do a spinal surgery and said it was probably something he wouldnt know about until he started OPERATING ON HER SPINE. As you probably know he wouldn't even begin to give us an estimate of how much he was going to charge because the fool was gonna charge so much he couldnt even look us in the eye and say the number! Lol anyway, we took her home, because there was no way we were going to do that, and my grandmother said to check her for ticks because she had a dog die after sudden paralysis when it woke up one morning and she suspected it was because of a tick she found on it afterwards. We DID find one HUGE tick on her and removed it. By the next morning she was walking, then by afternoon, running. I can't believe that vet tried to do a spinal surgery on a 12 year old dog, and charge us 5 figures, to remove a tick. He charged $400 just to look at her and do 1 xray. The tick was near her spine. My sister is a radiological tech and she said she bet he could see the tick on the xray...because she can see the fold of a tshirt when she does human xrays. We live in Tennessee by the way, so if you're not a crooked vet, which I suspect you're not considering your love of dogs, pls immediately check the dog for ticks if they come in for sudden paralysis. I've been telling everyone I can about this because I had never heard of tick paralysis before and there are so many fleas, ticks, and heartworms in the southeast United States. Plus our dog we'd rescued from a literal crack house, and had for 12 years, would have died because we didn't know a tick could cause the death of a dog. A completely preventable death. And neither did this vet know...or maybe he did and just wanted to make about $15 grand. "But don't worry she can take out a huge Care Credit loan and spend the next 10 years paying it off." 🙄😂
Police dogs are not only treated absolutely horrendous and left in the car for almost their entire lives, even at home, because they are working dogs not pets.... they're also viscous and absolutely entirely not needed. Maybe in war, sure. But not for police to use on citizens. And the drug sniffing ones? F the drug war, no need.
@@darrylg3861 Don't flail your arms while wearing anything resembling a bite suit 😄. Police dogs that do scent detection work should be fine for vets and vet techs to handle without a handler. Dogs trained for bite work really should always have their handler present. Dogs that do bite work aren't exactly dangerous though but some may be a bit risky. They are selected for having that high mouthy drive to bite and hold. This doesn't mean feral aggression. I'm thinking cats can be more dangerous lol! Claws, fang teeth, quick moving, and they really don't want someone poking on them.
I understand the bond between the handler and the K9. My late beloved son-in-law was a K9 handler and head of the K-9 unit at the department. The bond between them was remarkable. May they both rest in peace.
@@jamiemcdonald4279if you can't understand what that comment is referring to, you should go delete your ignorant mindset and do some basic research. POLICE ARE NOTORIOUS FOR KILLING INNOCENT DOGS ALL THE TIME.
Thank you for getting that spot checked out, Bruce. And thank you, diligent radiologist fan, for reaching out to our favorite criminal lawyer with care and concern!
One of Rachel Maddow's fans pointed out a suspicious mole on her neck and she got it checked out - turned out to be malignant and the fan may have saved her life.
I kept looking at the spot and assumed it must be a birthmark. Always get your skin checked out. I have had three skin cancers excised. I hope it all comes out without concern.
My dad (he was cop) was involved in a shoot out and his partner was killed in front of him with a shot to the head. This was long before the diagnosis of PTSD was available. Fortunately my parents relationship was very strong and my mum was able to help my dad through those really really bad days.
Agreed 👍🏽 And Bruce has a good dermatologist. I hope she never needs his professional services, but I am grateful that he received her professional advice.
Yes Bruce. Let us know about that spot on your face. Skin cancer and melanoma no joke. Trust me I know! One mole in 2000 (melanoma) went to knee in 2012, abdomen in 2016 and brain in 2019. You do not want to go through any of this... I'm doing great and the science today is incredible. I'm a HUGE fan and you bring joy to my life. HUMOR is the key!! Thanks for all you guys do.. Sharon, Wimberley, TX :) :)
I'm glad you made it, my former mother-in-law went through the same. A woman who in the 1960s used to sit out with cooking oil on to get her tans, got the cancer on her back that she couldn't see. They tried to get it out after one of her dogs scratched the spot. They thought they got it, but I got a call to come up, she wanted to see me and my ex was such a basket case about his mother that I picked up my daughter after the hospital trip and came home. This was 1994 when the brain cancer shut everything down and she passed away. Medicine has come a long way even in those 30 years.
I have to tell you Bruce, I've failed my bar exam 4 times and it's really made me discouraged from taking it again. But watching your clips give me a sense of encouragement! Thank you man!
Oh, don't give up! When your heart's in it you will pass eventually. I was a teacher - some people just aren't great at tests and get nervous. You'll do it eventually, I promise. I also think it will make you a great lawyer because you understand how tough some things can be for people. Good luck! 🙏⚖️💙
@@mikhaelisthat's actually not true. There are people who freeze up taking a test but under other situations know the material inside and out. The real question is, if he has that problem, would it also affect him when he's on the spot in court and has to speak.
@mikhaelis Retired teacher here. Not true. Many do well in their career - they just freeze up for tests. It doesn't mean he'll freeze up everywhere, either. He'll probably work harder than those to whom it comes easily and be better for it.
I am in Minnesota and I totally support/sympathise with law officers. The !@^^ courts need to " grow a pair" and stop undermining what law officers do!
Interestingly enough I remember there was a news anchor or someone who also got called by a doctor to let them know to get checked out. You guys really do have a very positive fan base.
Same with a soap star here. Twelve years ago Sue Nicholls was in Coronation Street when a nurse spotted a melanoma on her shoulder and contacted the studio. Sue got everything checked out in good time and has since becomes friends with the nurse, Anna.
@@K.Miller5150r less , It happens so much that I wonder why a judge will even say 7 years r 10 when they're out in 3 r less and some won't be out with good behavior , bad inside prison and bad outside of it smh it's ridiculous and officers get angry about it also.
I'm convinced that I'm one of the only drivers that ever uses their mirrors to check behind them frequently as they drive. Between folks just holding up traffic in the fast lane, and actively watching folks not notice emergency vehicles that's the only thing I can think of; people just aren't checking behind themselves regularly if at all. Drives me nuts.
Bruce: "It never ceases to amaze me, the decision making tree he must be following" "Decision making tree" is hilarious! . His commentary is truthful and uniquely funny AF!
My question is, why was this guy out on the streets? If he was just released for a violent crime, why do they allow him to be released? These judges need to do their jobs.
Bruce. It’s amazing how good an attorney you are. Your knowledge of the law and working with Michael, both of you are amazing. Thank you again for what you do.
He IS an amazing attorney but I seriously doubt I could afford him so I'll stay outta trouble and just enjoy and LEARN from his awesome videos and belly laugh from his great sense of humor! 🤣🤣🤣
Bruce, you may have helped convince me to move forward with my passion and become a paralegal and hopefully grow into a fine lawyer like yourself. You make it look good.
CLR mentioned this in the video that the shooter succumbed to his injuries later on at the hospital, it was fatal he died a few hours later!!! Did we watch the same video?
@@qook1543 Lazy? Seems like its a lot more work to try and make fake money that is believable, travel across the country and deal with shady ass people trying to rip you off just to drive back across country to find enough people to move all the product while avoiding the cops and narcs. These people are motivated as hell, just for the wrong things...
@@qook1543not lazy. There’s literal diagnosis for kids that don’t like following rules, ODD oppositional defiant disorder, if gone untreated they become adults with legal problems.
Bruce, Notice at 6:37 the officer pushes a button under the wheel, to unlock the ar-15. Usually a second button is there that allows the key to be pulled out of the ignition, locking it. When I get out of my squad, even for a second, the key comes with me. I don’t want to explain my squad being stolen.
I am so glad that you're going to get that checked out. I noticed it a while back and every time I watch a video it sticks out like a sore thumb. Praying that it's nothing serious.
What the hell is wrong with the DA and the judges in this state to allow someone who just robbed a store then shot at people. Lease them he is a danger to the community. Then gets out and steels a cop car and shoots at them. And looking a his raps sheet he should of been in jail along time ago.
This happens all the time, dudes get out and come right back in for the same stuff.. I don't know why people are so shocked, when I did my last bid I'd see dudes bail out and go back to the same woman that put them in, go right back to the same trap house that got raided, they come right back in. Happens all the time I'd be surprised if this dude DIDN'T have another shoot out with cops honestly..
Basic rule? Never put a suspect in the front seat. That Officer is never going to live this mistake down. They will "hound" him forever... he is in trouble for endangering that dog. They are expensive.
Another “fun filled” 😅😅. More like “Welcome to another educational video.” I have learned so much listening to you. Love Love Love - Never commit a felony to avoid a misdemeanor…What is wrong with people? - I live a boring life, but I have learned that if I should ever get pulled over, or ever accused of anything, shut the eff up and say NOTHING other than, “I want a lawyer.” - Hope I never need one.
2:25 - I'm so grateful she did!!! For awhile, I've noticed it as a similar concern my uncle had (oddly, in the same spot, too) so I'm hopeful you get the all-clear from your doc soon!!! Be well!
Bruce and Michael, may I start with thanking you both for your awesome channel. The reason I'm writing this is to also say how happy I am that you are seeing a medical professional. In my family, we have a saying, which is as follows: prevention is better than cure. I want to wish you the best of luck. Once again, thank you both for your fantastic channel.
I noticed the spot,too. I was worried, but didn't want to embarrass him. Thankfully the radiologist tech stepped in and said something. He's my favorite defense attorney and I would hate to have him get skin cancer. Let us know the outcome of your visit to the doctor. We love you and can't have you being sick. Love you and Michael. I learn so much from you.😍
This is EXACTLY why I don’t go to Walmart either. I go maybe once a year because my work gives us a gift card at Christmas and something weird ALWAYS happens there. The last time, there was a freaking fire in a checkout line. There’s never a shootout in the Target parking lot 😂
Same here especially when there are full time cops on duty there. I'd rather shop at a place where police are not stationed there just gives bad vibes lol
The dog was on my mind the whole time, I could barely comprehend everything else that happened because I was so worried that someone would shoot the dog
@@valerieladedaI want to say the dog needs a new partner! But even though the K9's partner supremely f'ed up beyond comprehension, I know that these dogs still want to stay with their partner. Switching partners would be stressful. I would hope the cop 100% learned from this lesson. He might??? Never do such an error again. Im just astonished the cop could do something that stupid!!! It's baffling! Was he a cop from the nicest neighborhood ever??? He just assumed the guy was 😇 ? Nuts!
I've got two working line German Shepherds. There is nothing like the bond you have with this breed! I've have a lot of different breeds over the years and the Shepherd by far is my favorite! Also, Bruce, your description of the holes in your clients leg are spot on lol. These dogs and the Belgian Malinois have got canine teeth that go on for days. I accidentally been in contact with the business end of my shepherd, and trust me, that was painful lol AND DEEP😵💫
My sons dog is a Malinois pit mix. Everyone loves her but she’s a lot of energy compared to a full bred pit luckily she doesn’t have dog aggressive or people aggressive tendencies (crap shoot with pits). My son has managed to teach her to “hunt” bark on command and basics and she learns very easily like our last dog (a Malinois that was too nice to be a k9) She also is very aware that my son is in charge and if he’s gone it’s me. If we’re both home and I’m telling her something, she looks at my son for permission to listen to me. It’s funny but she was meant to be his protector so I don’t mind. I 100% think the Malinois line is the perfect guard dog and if they mix just hope the mix gets the temperament of the Malinois parent.
Bruce I love your channel. Your takes are hilarious. "This is another reason why I don't go to Walmart... Only s*** like this happens at Walmart!"😂😂😂😂😂
One of my dearest best friends in high school was an police officer and died trying to apprehend the suspect, this situation could have been so much worse RIP my friend
I understand it was a friend. Losing a friend is never easy. They were a cop though, and not only did they sign up for it, they made the decision to go after that person which not only endangers the suspect, the community as a whole, and even themselves. I've had friends die while doing dumb stuff too though, so I get it.
Damn Starsky,, not much sympathy from this crew BUT the context does matter so while I feel for you losing a friend,, it makes a difference if he went out trying to save a wounded kid from an idiot in a domestic disturbance rather than blasting at some dork robbing a bank or something,, whi the average patrol cop should just leave for the FBI to take care of...
@@livertiny..yeah as a cop they did sign up for it, but at the same time somebody like this idiot would have blasted you for your car just as well as he would the other guy,, and yeah you have the cops sometimes overdo their job and sometimes are criminals but these guys committed no crimes in the performance of their duty in this case...
I know this exact exit because I chill at Yuma State Park all the time and the fact this deranged criminal could have endangered my family here in Utah because he was released in MN…..sigh. My heart goes out to the civilians who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Been a nurse for years and years , yes you should for sure don't miss that appointment and get it checked out, and hope it's nothing wear sunscreen!!! 😊
Bruce!! I am so glad you are going to get that spot on your face checked out. I mentioned it once in the comments in August when you were on your trip and felt like such an a-hole, but I am thrilled you are getting it checked. We need you around for the next 30+ years breaking down all the self snitchers and the drunken idiots! You and Michael - we all fcking adore you. Please let us know what the doc says.
We do adore you Bruce Rivers, Esq. you’re also all of our Dads we never had. Im a rare disease patient and my DX took 16 years. (Cushings disease and pheochromacytoma, both pretty rare, but still angers me none of the many specialists ever suspected? But I did? What does that say about these Physicians? Its terrifying!!!!! I self diagnosed and my docs agreed a year later. I’m so much better, I was literally DYING being told “it’s just anxiety, here’s a referral to psych” I believed them for awhile…… however Endocrinology/rare disease is a whole diff ball game! so glad you’re getting it checked out! ❤❤❤❤❤

Right. I gave up my beautiful bosoms in 2016 due to the C-word. Double mastectomy. I've had my feelings but have never regretted saving my life - it's so bizarre. We CARE about Bruce though and we have to tell the truth @@regmunday8354
Your gift to me, not only is the videos, is a look at a beautiful relationship with a father and son. I really respect that a lot. I always wanted a good relationship with my dad so this makes me very very happy every time I watch! Thank you!!!
17:05 - The man is already looking at shooting at all these shooting and drug charges in Minnesota as well as in Utah. What is theft of a police vehicle among friends at this point? Especially if he is looking at a potential life sentence.
I love how Bruce seems to be staying humble even with his success and popularity here on UA-cam. Love these videos... Very informative with a bit of humor along the way.

Bruce, you're a stand up guy, you help craft the audience and following and provide really cool perspectives well worth learning, as jovial as things can be made in the dark. Thank you for sharing this stuff. I'd seen lots of these videos but always craved this sort of professional opinion on these outlandish stories. I for one, never want to break the law again. Justice is fascinating. Thank you also for invigorating my spirit to go out and do good things, build a legacy based on civicism and commitment to making the world a better place. Your son really is onto smth and really sharp! I'm very happy to see such a supportive, healthy family.
SO many soldiers have PTSD and TBI's, and it is impossible to get help. My son waited a year for an MRI of his spine, had a failed surgery, he had one more shot at it if he wanted to walk normally, and TriCare would only pay for half of it. They approved ONE disc replacement..his surgeon said he was lucky, they turn down most. We had to pay $50,000 for one disc, they paid for the other one. You can only access the area once, so we had no choice. I say that to say this, you send them off to tear their bodies to pieces, see things no one should ever see, and do NOTHING for them. I wasn't surprised this happened. So many have no way to cope. Doesn't excuse his actions, but he was obviously out of his mind.
Its almost 1:00am here i just laughed way to loud remembering doing silly stuff like this. Mine is 15 years now. I am waiting for a MOM!!!!!!!!!! I WAS SLEEPING. Im in the livingroom her bedroom is right next door
Last night, I thought I turned UA-cam off. I was almost asleep. 20 minutes later, my phone starts blaring "Bruce Rivers". Scared 😱 the shit out of me!!! 😂😅
Hi from SA..This is why i have the utmost respect for the Officer's that are true to their calling..They walk where angels fear to tread,putting themselves in the line of fire to protect the innocent.. SALUTE
One thing that I ABSOLUTELY love about watching your channel, is all the juicy stories you give us 😅 you always have a client that can relate to what we are watching 🙌🏼
A guy just did something similar in Madison, Wisconsin. He entered the Capitol Building with a gun, asking to see the Governor. He got arrested, bailed out, and returned to the Capitol with a gun asking for the Governor. The Governor was nowhere close by each time.
My father is an officer. When growing up I wouldn’t go to sleep until he was home……. Then I followed his footsteps, and work for the same department 🤷🏼♀️🤣🤦♀️
Hi Bruce + Michael. I use ESign ALL month long.. I just reminded my colleagues to download it sooner rather than later. Now they LOVE ❤️ IT! HAPPY BLESSED Holiday Season to you, friends/family! Cheers from downtown Chicago 👍 👌
I just watched the full video on this. Love getting your take on this right after! How the suspect is repeatedly released is deeply concerning. That he lived through everything is a miracle.
Love your sense of humour! You make me laugh so hard I get tears running down my legs! How does Michael find these gems? Does he ever get suprised by your reactions? Would you ever do a question from viewers episode? Watching from Australia 🇦🇺
The civilians in this incident were extremely stupid. None of them moved over for the cops and the one guy parking flat in the center of a police shootout, what a brilliant group of people. Edit: Even if she thought it was a cop, who in their right damn mind would interject themselves into what's clearly a police incident with MULTIPLE squad cars around.
It’s incredibly common for people to not realise an active shooting is taking place. Even professional soldiers in a war zone often fail to identify being shot at, let alone Joe Schmo on his grocery trip to Walmart. It’s not due to stupidity but due to how unbelievable it is to the brain that you’re in that type of situation, humans do very badly with threat identification when we aren’t actively attacked within like, ‘bear about to rip your face off’ range. The brain just shuts down trying to process what is happening. Edit: it’s exactly the reason why militaries religiously drill into soldiers the idea that you duck at the slightest sign of danger. You can’t rely on anything but drilled in reflex, and that dosent come naturally. Even so, professional US marines still regularly fail to do this even in active, confirmed active war zones.
It seems to me like nobody pulls over for emergency vehicles anymore. My mom tried pulling over for an ambulance last week and she couldn't because nobody else would move! I had to get out and start screaming at people before they did anything! There is an epidemic of selfishness in this country.
The fact that you could do all that, on top of his previous pending charges and criminal history, and get out of prison even at 60, is completely insane to me.
Shouldn’t bail be denied in cases like this? I’ve seen bail hearings where the judge decides to deny bail because of flight risk and danger to the public. Even if the person who’s charged has a right to get bail, sometimes it’s denied. Or does this vary per state?
Honestly, he has the right color of skin. That’s it. White myself, sister married to a Supervisor, he’s WHITE, that was he’s reply. As he said, “ Had he been BLACK, bond would have been denied, and this second situation wouldn’t have happened. He’s White, and that’s why they don’t want to release this information, that would show that dangerous White criminals have been released on a very low bond, or without bond, then discover that people of color, committing small crimes, were denied bond “ That was my sister husband’s reply. Police Supervisor for 18 year’s, cop for 29 years. He knows what he’s talking about.
@@sheilafurguiel3202Must’ve been watching a different video then because that’s not a white man. Not in his mug shot, and almost certainly not from a distance either. I don’t care what you’ve “watched/seen everywhere” the Availability Heuristic, and sometimes potentially anecdotal evidence, truly only prove to make folks more ignorant regardless of how much “information” is consumed because the *correct* information is not being consumed.
April of 2020 was during maximum fear of the unknown with covid. Italy was out of control and cases were starting to pile up in New York. Places like prisons were feared to be hot spots for the spread which undoubtedly led to this judgement error. There were convicted prisoners that were being considered for release, let alone pre detention. This guy just got "lucky" it was at this point in time or it would have NEVER happened. By May of 2021, I'd think he already jumped bail and was permanently on the run by then
@kaitlanparks8061 except it's true. They've studied this stuff. Tracked it for many years. Yes black men are denied bail more often than whites for the same crime. And yes hate to break it to you, but he would pass as white. He looks to be white or pacific islander ie white with a tan.
I’ve had to drop to the pavement before in a grocery store parking lot. Its really scary because one minute I’m peacefully pulling in and parking, my usual routine…and then shots being fired and with traffic noise, its difficult to tell from which direction. Then I finally feel like its safe to raise up only to see a 20-ish year old bleeding out just yards away. You just never know when it can break out. I have since moved to the country where when I hear gun shots now, its deer or turkey season. Still…never become complacent.

As I entered, every seat was full of evil looking bikers, and I mean standing room only. My judge was next to me as I entered and I said, "I think we need back up." It turns out, they were there turning in one of their own who had put his mother's house up for bail and they wanted to ensure he showed up, so they took it on themselves to turn him in.
Oh wow, what a story! Also what a piece of shit. I'm from LA too, I hear stories like this in the news sometimes and its so insane!

The judge who set his bail so low after the Walmart incident should be ashamed of him/herself. Unbelievable
They should be in prison.

The Judge should be removed along with the DA. He should have been charged with attempted murder. Never leave your keys in your car; that's just stupid.

Leftist here, I know the liberal perspective and partially agree with it. Liberals want to abolish the bail system because the rich can afford bail while poor people cannot. This leads to more situations like this being possible with rich convicts than with poor ones. The liberals' answer to this falls in two categories:
1. Tie bail amount to % of annual net worth increase (salary + assets)
2. Abolish the bail system and replace it with something else. Normally probationary period unless crime is serious, where no bail -> jail is established.
Meanwhile the anarchist I am wants there to be no prison system so lol.
It's still important to understand why other people want policies different than yours.
I love how honest and blunt Bruce is. That’s probably what actually makes him so successful as a lawyer.
Just feels like our judicial system is ass backwards. Allowing bail for someone like this? Yeesh
You don’t even want to know how crappy the Australian justice system is. For all of those charges, over here he would have probably got around 8yrs and served 3yrs. It’s crazy and must be so disheartening for the cops.
You know before 1920 the law had a simple solution for most crimes that simple solution was taken away for being too inhumane however according to the government it’s humane to let people like this back onto the street to commit the same crime again? We are beginning to get to a point where criminals have more power and rights then a law abiding citizen and that’s terrifying.

Really appreciate Bruce’s call out to his fans. Man knows the value of gratitude. And hope the dermatologist appointment goes well!
Thank you to the Radiologist that called Bruce's office... I was thinking the same thing.

In the comments of the video about the hockey player, it's overwhelmingly obvious how much respect his viewers have for him. The majority were disagreeing, but I don't recall seeing anyone "call him out"; rather, they were kind, informative, and often apologetic. When you think someone's wrong - especially on the internet - this is not a common approach to take, so it really stood out! ✌️🍍
@@PFMediaServicesill beat you down boy
One of my best friends, son, got murdered by a violent, repeat offender let out on bail. The human cost of these situations is immeasurable 😢
I am veterinarian and I work with police dogs. They are the absolute best. I worry for them all the time, but they are an essential part of the team. We don't deserve dogs, they are too good for us. TY for the crazy coverage Bruce, you and MHR are also the BEST.
My sweet elderly dog had sudden paralysis. Her entire body neck to feet. She could move her toes. Took her to thw veterinarian and he said he didnt see anything on the XRay but he wanted to do a spinal surgery and said it was probably something he wouldnt know about until he started OPERATING ON HER SPINE. As you probably know he wouldn't even begin to give us an estimate of how much he was going to charge because the fool was gonna charge so much he couldnt even look us in the eye and say the number! Lol anyway, we took her home, because there was no way we were going to do that, and my grandmother said to check her for ticks because she had a dog die after sudden paralysis when it woke up one morning and she suspected it was because of a tick she found on it afterwards. We DID find one HUGE tick on her and removed it. By the next morning she was walking, then by afternoon, running. I can't believe that vet tried to do a spinal surgery on a 12 year old dog, and charge us 5 figures, to remove a tick. He charged $400 just to look at her and do 1 xray. The tick was near her spine. My sister is a radiological tech and she said she bet he could see the tick on the xray...because she can see the fold of a tshirt when she does human xrays.
We live in Tennessee by the way, so if you're not a crooked vet, which I suspect you're not considering your love of dogs, pls immediately check the dog for ticks if they come in for sudden paralysis. I've been telling everyone I can about this because I had never heard of tick paralysis before and there are so many fleas, ticks, and heartworms in the southeast United States. Plus our dog we'd rescued from a literal crack house, and had for 12 years, would have died because we didn't know a tick could cause the death of a dog. A completely preventable death. And neither did this vet know...or maybe he did and just wanted to make about $15 grand. "But don't worry she can take out a huge Care Credit loan and spend the next 10 years paying it off." 🙄😂
Police dogs are not only treated absolutely horrendous and left in the car for almost their entire lives, even at home, because they are working dogs not pets.... they're also viscous and absolutely entirely not needed. Maybe in war, sure. But not for police to use on citizens. And the drug sniffing ones? F the drug war, no need.
Arr probably dogs better behaved? More cooperative, calmer, etc.? Is their cop there with them? They sound awesome. So do you.
*police dogs
@@darrylg3861 Don't flail your arms while wearing anything resembling a bite suit 😄. Police dogs that do scent detection work should be fine for vets and vet techs to handle without a handler. Dogs trained for bite work really should always have their handler present. Dogs that do bite work aren't exactly dangerous though but some may be a bit risky. They are selected for having that high mouthy drive to bite and hold. This doesn't mean feral aggression. I'm thinking cats can be more dangerous lol! Claws, fang teeth, quick moving, and they really don't want someone poking on them.
I understand the bond between the handler and the K9. My late beloved son-in-law was a K9 handler and head of the K-9 unit at the department. The bond between them was remarkable. May they both rest in peace.
If only they have empathy for civilian domesticated dogs 🤔

Yes Bruce. Let us know about that spot on your face. Skin cancer and melanoma no joke. Trust me I know! One mole in 2000 (melanoma) went to knee in 2012, abdomen in 2016 and brain in 2019. You do not want to go through any of this... I'm doing great and the science today is incredible. I'm a HUGE fan and you bring joy to my life. HUMOR is the key!! Thanks for all you guys do..

Melanoma is black so don't worry
I'm glad you made it, my former mother-in-law went through the same. A woman who in the 1960s used to sit out with cooking oil on to get her tans, got the cancer on her back that she couldn't see. They tried to get it out after one of her dogs scratched the spot. They thought they got it, but I got a call to come up, she wanted to see me and my ex was such a basket case about his mother that I picked up my daughter after the hospital trip and came home. This was 1994 when the brain cancer shut everything down and she passed away. Medicine has come a long way even in those 30 years.
to your brain and you lived!!!! thats so wild
Bless. I’m so happy you’re doing well❤
I hope you're still well.
I have to tell you Bruce, I've failed my bar exam 4 times and it's really made me discouraged from taking it again. But watching your clips give me a sense of encouragement! Thank you man!
Don't give up!
Oh, don't give up! When your heart's in it you will pass eventually. I was a teacher - some people just aren't great at tests and get nervous. You'll do it eventually, I promise. I also think it will make you a great lawyer because you understand how tough some things can be for people. Good luck! 🙏⚖️💙
If you failed the bar 4 times you probably should not be a lawyer because you won't be a very good one.

Interestingly enough I remember there was a news anchor or someone who also got called by a doctor to let them know to get checked out. You guys really do have a very positive fan base.
Yep, turned out to be thyroid cancer.
Same with a soap star here. Twelve years ago Sue Nicholls was in Coronation Street when a nurse spotted a melanoma on her shoulder and contacted the studio. Sue got everything checked out in good time and has since becomes friends with the nurse, Anna.
Yes, I believe a viewer noticed a lump on her neck, which, I believe was positive CA.

I was thinking “Ummm, should police be retuning fire in a parking lot or retreating? 🤔🤔🤔”
Bruce,
Notice at 6:37 the officer pushes a button under the wheel, to unlock the ar-15. Usually a second button is there that allows the key to be pulled out of the ignition, locking it. When I get out of my squad, even for a second, the key comes with me. I don’t want to explain my squad being stolen.
Taking the keys with you seems logical and should be part of training. I never leave my keys in the car even in my own driveway!

What the hell is wrong with the DA and the judges in this state to allow someone who just robbed a store then shot at people. Lease them he is a danger to the community. Then gets out and steels a cop car and shoots at them. And looking a his raps sheet he should of been in jail along time ago.
They're responsible for everything he did by letting him go. "Honorable" judges and DAs are a joke, not worth the respect
Progress yay lol
This happens all the time, dudes get out and come right back in for the same stuff.. I don't know why people are so shocked, when I did my last bid I'd see dudes bail out and go back to the same woman that put them in, go right back to the same trap house that got raided, they come right back in. Happens all the time I'd be surprised if this dude DIDN'T have another shoot out with cops honestly..
He's white.

Basic rule? Never put a suspect in the front seat. That Officer is never going to live this mistake down. They will "hound" him forever... he is in trouble for endangering that dog. They are expensive.
"the knowledge gained", you're right; I have learned a few things watching Bruce's videos. 👍🏼😀
Another “fun filled” 😅😅. More like “Welcome to another educational video.” I have learned so much listening to you. Love Love Love - Never commit a felony to avoid a misdemeanor…What is wrong with people? - I live a boring life, but I have learned that if I should ever get pulled over, or ever accused of anything, shut the eff up and say NOTHING other than, “I want a lawyer.” - Hope I never need one.
I wonder how the judge felt when suspect was back in court? Oh, you again. Well , this is a one in a life time learning curve, thank you
2:25 - I'm so grateful she did!!! For awhile, I've noticed it as a similar concern my uncle had (oddly, in the same spot, too) so I'm hopeful you get the all-clear from your doc soon!!! Be well!
Imagine being the officer that let the suspect steal his cruiser, he'd never live it down. 😂
They definitely gonna call him "Hot Wheels" or something until the day he retires

@@valerieladedaI want to say the dog needs a new partner! But even though the K9's partner supremely f'ed up beyond comprehension, I know that these dogs still want to stay with their partner.

Also, Bruce, your description of the holes in your clients leg are spot on lol. These dogs and the Belgian Malinois have got canine teeth that go on for days. I accidentally been in contact with the business end of my shepherd, and trust me, that was painful lol AND DEEP😵💫
I hate that breed
@@lennarthagen3638to each his own I guess 😊
My sons dog is a Malinois pit mix. Everyone loves her but she’s a lot of energy compared to a full bred pit luckily she doesn’t have dog aggressive or people aggressive tendencies (crap shoot with pits). My son has managed to teach her to “hunt” bark on command and basics and she learns very easily like our last dog (a Malinois that was too nice to be a k9)
She also is very aware that my son is in charge and if he’s gone it’s me. If we’re both home and I’m telling her something, she looks at my son for permission to listen to me. It’s funny but she was meant to be his protector so I don’t mind.
I 100% think the Malinois line is the perfect guard dog and if they mix just hope the mix gets the temperament of the Malinois parent.

I understand it was a friend. Losing a friend is never easy.
They were a cop though, and not only did they sign up for it, they made the decision to go after that person which not only endangers the suspect, the community as a whole, and even themselves.
I've had friends die while doing dumb stuff too though, so I get it.
Damn Starsky,, not much sympathy from this crew BUT the context does matter so while I feel for you losing a friend,, it makes a difference if he went out trying to save a wounded kid from an idiot in a domestic disturbance rather than blasting at some dork robbing a bank or something,, whi the average patrol cop should just leave for the FBI to take care of...
@@livertiny..yeah as a cop they did sign up for it, but at the same time somebody like this idiot would have blasted you for your car just as well as he would the other guy,, and yeah you have the cops sometimes overdo their job and sometimes are criminals but these guys committed no crimes in the performance of their duty in this case...

SO many soldiers have PTSD and TBI's, and it is impossible to get help. My son waited a year for an MRI of his spine, had a failed surgery, he had one more shot at it if he wanted to walk normally, and TriCare would only pay for half of it. They approved ONE disc replacement..his surgeon said he was lucky, they turn down most. We had to pay $50,000 for one disc, they paid for the other one. You can only access the area once, so we had no choice. I say that to say this, you send them off to tear their bodies to pieces, see things no one should ever see, and do NOTHING for them. I wasn't surprised this happened. So many have no way to cope. Doesn't excuse his actions, but he was obviously out of his mind.

Bruce, how do you give props to the person that smacked the gun out and said he’s getting out of the car and not risking your life.
Love, love, love your channel. Your comments are a hoot and your legal insight is informative.
The civilians in this incident were extremely stupid. None of them moved over for the cops and the one guy parking flat in the center of a police shootout, what a brilliant group of people. Edit: Even if she thought it was a cop, who in their right damn mind would interject themselves into what's clearly a police incident with MULTIPLE squad cars around.
It’s incredibly common for people to not realise an active shooting is taking place. Even professional soldiers in a war zone often fail to identify being shot at, let alone Joe Schmo on his grocery trip to Walmart. It’s not due to stupidity but due to how unbelievable it is to the brain that you’re in that type of situation, humans do very badly with threat identification when we aren’t actively attacked within like, ‘bear about to rip your face off’ range. The brain just shuts down trying to process what is happening.
Edit: it’s exactly the reason why militaries religiously drill into soldiers the idea that you duck at the slightest sign of danger. You can’t rely on anything but drilled in reflex, and that dosent come naturally. Even so, professional US marines still regularly fail to do this even in active, confirmed active war zones.
That's probably most police scenes. People walking through, getting in the way, trying to record video, whatever other acts of stupidity.
I mean, it's Walmart.

I'm so glad someone said something. I always think the same thing. "Has that been checked out yet?"
The fact that you could do all that, on top of his previous pending charges and criminal history, and get out of prison even at 60, is completely insane to me.
Shouldn’t bail be denied in cases like this? I’ve seen bail hearings where the judge decides to deny bail because of flight risk and danger to the public. Even if the person who’s charged has a right to get bail, sometimes it’s denied. Or does this vary per state?
Honestly, he has the right color of skin. That’s it. White myself, sister married to a Supervisor, he’s WHITE, that was he’s reply. As he said, “ Had he been BLACK, bond would have been denied, and this second situation wouldn’t have happened. He’s White, and that’s why they don’t want to release this information, that would show that dangerous White criminals have been released on a very low bond, or without bond, then discover that people of color, committing small crimes, were denied bond “ That was my sister husband’s reply. Police Supervisor for 18 year’s, cop for 29 years. He knows what he’s talking about.
@@sheilafurguiel3202Must’ve been watching a different video then because that’s not a white man. Not in his mug shot, and almost certainly not from a distance either. I don’t care what you’ve “watched/seen everywhere” the Availability Heuristic, and sometimes potentially anecdotal evidence, truly only prove to make folks more ignorant regardless of how much “information” is consumed because the *correct* information is not being consumed.
April of 2020 was during maximum fear of the unknown with covid. Italy was out of control and cases were starting to pile up in New York. Places like prisons were feared to be hot spots for the spread which undoubtedly led to this judgement error. There were convicted prisoners that were being considered for release, let alone pre detention. This guy just got "lucky" it was at this point in time or it would have NEVER happened. By May of 2021, I'd think he already jumped bail and was permanently on the run by then
@kaitlanparks8061 except it's true. They've studied this stuff. Tracked it for many years. Yes black men are denied bail more often than whites for the same crime. And yes hate to break it to you, but he would pass as white. He looks to be white or pacific islander ie white with a tan.
@@sheilafurguiel3202Does he count as white? I'm never sure of these classifications.
This is an unfortunate example of.. No good deed goes unpunished 😟
I feel so bad for the poor dog.. He was seriously distressed 😢
Thanks for what you do to shed light on the issues
I’ve had to drop to the pavement before in a grocery store parking lot. Its really scary because one minute I’m peacefully pulling in and parking, my usual routine…and then shots being fired and with traffic noise, its difficult to tell from which direction. Then I finally feel like its safe to raise up only to see a 20-ish year old bleeding out just yards away. You just never know when it can break out. I have since moved to the country where when I hear gun shots now, its deer or turkey season. Still…never become complacent.
