That first guy may be the douche bag of the day, but the woman who filmed him was absolutely today's BAMF.
For real, she was looking out for her fellow humans and was not conflict adverse at all. Every day legend.
This right here. Best comment
What’s a bamf
"I'm not like that" 😂😂😂😂😂
This better be in yesterday today next video
I’m so glad that women called him out on his behavior and recorded it. That is creepy disgusting.
You could tell he was guilty by how soft his voice was
@@MaidenHelll His legs were SHAKING too
@@MaidenHelllright?? If I was just minding my business shopping and some random person came up accusing me of being a pervert I would tell them to gtfo my face and mind their damn business. He was so soft-spoken and polite because he KNEW he was dead wrong.
@@MaidenHelll FUcking hilarious he got caught.. guilty of been a pervert but not really guilty of breaking the law afaik.
I am glad she decided to call him out on it no earlier than she did. She got enough of it to have a great case against him.
“How did he die?”
“I threw him down a flight of stairs”
“So undetermined”
If police are allowed to investigate themselves so should the citizenry. "I think you owe the government $25,000 in taxes" - "Let me investigate myself and get back to you. I have completed my investigation and I actually don't - have a great day."
100% this!!
I work with insurance companies. This is how they review medical claims a lot of the time. So I agree here. 😁
If defranco is allowed to lie with impunity every day then everyone should including police.
@VSPoliFight so you don't have any constructive or insightful commentary to add, is basically what you're saying?
@madisonmiller4581 that's exactly what he's saying. He just shouting to the world how ignorant and uninformed he is
"Ma'am, I really wasn't"
This is like what a kid would say when they're caught taking cookies
his voice is SO creepy
Dude wasn't even being slick about it. He could have put the thing on the floor and nudged it with his foot. No, crouch down and full on push it there with his whole arm like a moron. Then has the gall to deny it. What a chode.
Glad it wasn't you out there you might never get caught
@@chantolove He went straight Mark Wahlberg in "The Happening".. "No, ma'am!, we're NOT gonna kill you!"
"I'm not like that," really sold it lol
Nominating the woman who caught the creep on camera (1st story) for BAMF of the week please! catching it on camera gave everything needed to catch this guy
I second this!
Not just recording it, but publicly shaming him and getting the authorities involved. It's not easy to confront people when they're feeling caught/cornered, because there's a chance of violence.
"Only 1000 deaths in 10 years" is still 1 death at least every 4 days.
That's a lot.
I find it weird that the house is capable of condemning a chant, but not war crimes
The constant political theater is already is already enough to make ones blood boil, but in the midst of actual genocide, it's become a war crime in of its self.
That chant cause many wars against Israel since 1856.
@@samanthac3357 No it didn't. Israel caused wars against Israel by allowing bigoted Zionist to proclaim to represent all of Judaism
I said it on MKBHD's video, and I'll say it here. We're fast approaching peak corporate gaslighting.
Yup, with coordinated bot swarms, that will attack anyone who dare speak out against them. Not looking forward in what our dystopian future has in store for us.
@@lordchaa1598 the only hope is this drives us all away from social media.
Marques shills for the new iPhones that change 1 or 2 things. He is plainly a hypocrite
Lol it was like watching MLM Huns come in to defend their "legitimate business practices"
MY BAD I'LL fart harder Sir
When I was in Middle School I was absolutely horrified when my best friend confided in me that she had to go testify in Court; apparently there was a creep in Target going around taking up skirt videos of LITTLE GIRLS and Teenagers! My friend hadn’t noticed him doing it to her at the time but the security guards had seen him on the cameras doing it to multiple girls, and notified my friend that she had been one of them. He had done it to so many, and my poor 13 year old friend had to go to court as well as all of the other victims and testify, luckily he got several years in prison but I still feel terrible that so many girls had to endure that and face him in a courtroom on top of being victimized. That lady is a BAMF for protecting girls!!!
This reminds me of the time I was a Freshman in High School and was trying to find my "group" to hang with. One of the first I hung out with were these two guys who just so happened to be buddy buddy with the cop on campus. I didn't think anything of it and just thought "cool, now I won't get in trouble" - boy was I wrong. The cop was literally PAYING these two $20 each to take pictures up the skirts of high school girls. Not just that but he informed them of how to get into the girls changing bathroom without getting caught so they can take pictures of the girls going to the bathroom. He offered money to me and I was so weirded out that I just said "No thanks, I don't wanna do that". I didn't know what to do at the time. This cop was never caught doing this and his phone had several pictures up the skirts of several underage girls, not just that but girls in their changing rooms too (especially the cheerleaders which he bragged about). Years later a cop was accused of being a pedo rapist, I thought it was him, but it was just another cop he worked with. The cops forced the girl who made the accusations to change her story or else they'd make her life hell but said she needs to stick with the story regarding her teacher so they can pin everything on him.
Sounds weird to force an underage victim, who wasnt aware of the crime, to testify no?
Surely her testimony is that the security guard told her?
Why isnt the security guards testimony enough and instead they force that girl to discuss something she likely finds embarassing in court…
@@Mortal209 um, I’m not sure why you wrote all that out, but the fact you arent talking steps to ensure that guy gets reported now you know better is really shitty of you.
Get off your ass and make aure your experiences are on record with the school and police force. Otherwise you are demonstrating your apathy for these girls being taken advantage of.
It’s so sad that everyone knows a friend like yours, or has been that friend. I pray those girls were able to heal as best they can, this just can’t keep happening. Thank you for sharing ❤
My Korean friend says these creeps are common in Korea & they mostly target schoolgirls. It's disgusting.
I live in East Africa and i have always found it disturbing how we reference the American police here as "the death squad". This comes from people that just watch stuff on TV and have never been to the USA. You ask anyone and they say they'd rather deal with other countries authorities than those in the USA because "they look at black people as animals" that's how the USA looks like to us here.
My point here is that stuff we watch on TV and what we experience aren't far apart and maybe we should observe this more. Am not trying to dismiss anyone else's take on the matter or justify one. Am just giving my observations rather not my opinions.
As someone from the UK, that’s an incredibly ignorant perspective to have.
The vast majority of incidences mentioned in this video were due to resisting arrest and fleeing.
@@ducksquidbat8315 if you want i can send you 100s of hours of video of police wrong doing with no resisting from the victims.
@@ducksquidbat8315 you can only say that in reference to yourself while dismissing the number of experiences people from this region have had. I myself and my brother have been referred to as "Monkeys" during visits. It is something you can easily dismiss and call "ignorant" but it's coming from somewhere. It isn't directly related to this police thing but you have to not be a colored person to dismiss the correlation outright. Please get out of your safety cave and look at the facts. I have tonnes of siblings in the UK and we share similar experiences with America. I guess experiences people have that upset you are all categorised as "being ignorant". That's what your take on personal experiences looks like to me, Ignored.
You should be weary when attempting to judge a countries cultural issues from news outlets from said country. For example, people in the USA typically have a negative perception of Africa in general because of biased news reporting that tends to focus on crime, terrorism, and civil unrest.
@@ducksquidbat8315As someone from the US, THAT'S an incredibly ignorant perspective to have. I used to be a cop. I can tell you some things about policing in the US that would blow your little mind.
If you're married to a law enforcement officer, you're 20% MORE likely to be a victim of physical abuse. I just heard of a school SRO deputy being arrested on this charge recently.
If you’re married to a crackhead, 69% chance you’ll start using.
Did you know lesbian couples have the highest rate of domestic violence?
Yes, which sounds like cancer fearmongering. They always make these claims that consuming "x" will increase your risk by 20-30% (realistically the numbers they cite are much lower)...but when your chance is basically 1% (or less) to start with, a 20-30% increase is completely ignorable. In this case, you're talking about a very negligible increase. Naturally violent people will very frequently seek physical careers, so it makes sense that you will see a higher concentration of them in the military, police, fire, etc.
I believe it. Lol I wouldn't be surprised if it was similar to military, fire and paramedic stats. When you have to deal with the worst of society, you aren't always going to come out the other side perfectly adjusted. Duh
@@VSPoliFight paramedics actually save people though. Law enforcement swear an oath to the law, not to the public. Laws are classist, sexist, and racist. They enforce assimilation, not safety.
Police committing their own internal investigation has got to be one of the most corrupt plays I've ever heard of
Not even Gerald Ford pardoning Nixon was as corrupt... but don't worry... atleast the Persecutors who would trial those cops rely on the cops making it even more corrupt
Exactly. Let's let criminals run their own court cases...
Them and the Supreme Court…
Wait till you see what Trump will do if he’s elected Prez 😂
@@L.L.Cool.T i still firmly believe humanity isn't this stupid twice
The amount of bootlicking for products these days is gross. MKBHD is the GOAT
I think they're so used to him bending over backwards to make something sound better than it is.
Which is why a bad review really means something coming out of him
Crazy that he is being targeted for an honest review. Just shows how badly we need him in the space.
People are sad that products they were excited for are having an accelerated demise after marques’ “worst ever” videos
People too used to paid sponserships.
There's a reason why reviewers like MKBHD or someone like Gamers Nexus are so well respected - they make a review for the consumer to make an informed purchase decision
I'm seeing a lot of people call out the creep in the first video for acting like a child being caught, and for the woman being a bamf for catching him, but the biggest thing that got me was that poor vitcim's voice asking him to show her his phone. You can clearly hear the fear and pain in her voice. Absolutely soul-crushing. I hope she can mentally recover from this one day...
Not as much as I was hoping she swung on him. I genuinely don't believe something like that can be fixed with our legal system. It is heartbreaking knowing what she will now have in store for her as a victim. I do love the woman filming though.
We as a country need to sue MTG for causing so much chaos in Congress that she has effectively slowed or halted most legislation passing through and wasting time on the taxpayers’ dime.
Do you actually believe she is the problem with Congress? Really?
Magic: The Gathering? What did they do wrong?
so…. she’s behaving like a normal politician ?
Ahh yes congress was known for efficiency and actually doing things before MTG.
Wait a minute... people voted her into office and she's doing exactly what they wanted their representative to do? Tell me it isn't so!
Good on that woman for being aware and getting that creep locked up. It's so much worse that he worked with KIDS.
They always work with kids. They always wanna be in places where you would not suspect them. That's why there's a lot of priest's and politicians out there who are certified fucking creepozoids.
No, it makes complete sense, of course degenerates are going to put themselves in positions where they can access their targets, the most dangerous ones are the ones hiding in plain sight, in your churches, your schools, your family, your friends. People with access to your children are the ones which can more easily harm them, do not drop your guard, no matter how much you trust someone.
That hard drive has gotta be FILTHY
The only
i mean it's not really worse that he worked with kids unless he did it to the kids.... if the best teacher in the world turns out to be a murderer that doesn't invalidate the education the pupils got from them
As a Canadian I never realized we were so high up the list of police killings. It's always "At least we're not America". But as soon as you eliminate America from those stats as an outlier, we're at the top...
I guess it's time to start emailing my MP
The indigenous community is over-represented in the victim number. They're particularly targeted by cops.
Yeah and Australia below that! But I must say that we've had a few underworld killings so that might be why we are up the top. Still, too many gun deaths.
@@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax I was surprised too but I actually think it's more the underreporting by media here in Aus. I just did a quick google and there have already been 19 deaths in custody so far in 2024, and I hadn't heard of any. I was surprised to see that only 4 of those were indigenous people as I thought they would be over-represented like in Canada.
@@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax it is not the underworld killings.... Australia and Canada (most Anglophone speaking nations function very similar on so many levels) are trailing behind the US in so many things and share very very similar problems
@@Jindychick 4/19 while indigenous people make up 3.8%... that's very much over-representation... far higher than the US or Canada (though it doesn't say much with numbers that small)
In American culture, companies are more important than people. That is why they want MKBHD to help the company rather than give honest review.
As a morning listener, I appreciate the greeting as I face the day of customers yelling at me, thanks
Bad reviews dont kill companies. Bad products kill companies. Thank you Marques.
What? No no, I'm pretty sure companies have a right to exist and you have an obligation to buy whatever they're selling to support them, regardless of its quality.
You know, capitalism.
It's absolutely absurd for some people to suggest that a large reviewer, like MKBHD, must withhold information about flaws and drawbacks of a product he or she is reviewing if the product comes from a small company (like humane) or from a company that is struggling (like Fisker). Are only small reviewers allowed to mention all the flaws? Or should no one talk about the flaws if the company that makes the product is small or struggling? The only thing I didn't like about MKBHD's humane review was the clickbait thumbnail and title, but that's just a minor complaint from someone who loathes clickbait, it doesn't detract from the review he uploaded.
@@AnthonyHarrisTechratlolol
Our system kills companies. Sustaining profits and employees should be a successful company, but stockholders won't support a company that doesn't grow in profits. That's an unreasonable system. Sustainability should be a success.
Ultimately, bad management is what really kills companies. Lots of successful companies have had bad products. Apple has had numerous products that absolutely bombed. I can just imagine what MKBHD would have had to say about the Newton when it was launched, I doubt it would have been any kinder than his review of that AI pin. But Apple moved beyond those flops and improved their design concepts and focused more on making their systems excel at specific tasks, which is a result of good management. A company that is poorly managed will just keep pushing flop after flop after flop without ever trying to fix or even acknowledging the problems until they burn through their investors' money and shut down.
The police don't use for when a dude is stabbing his girlfriend to death, and then do when the person simply takes a swing at them? WTF!
Might as well poop in the back seat
Kinda like when a crackhead or something attacks someone on public transportation and there is not a peep from anyone. But when the victim stands up for themselves, suddenly it's 'wrong' and 'you shouldn't do that'.
To that I would say that there are different cops at every situation. Doesn't mean that the situations were necessarily handled right though.
One of the victims was 95. NINETY FIVE. Why would you need to use force against a ninety five year old man??
@@TwelvetreeZyeah the way he skipped over that one is like, bro tf happened there
Thank you for the addition of the 'hello to the X morning". I'm based in UK and this has always my morning show for the next day😂
4 days ago, Florida Gov Ron DeSantis ended all citizen oversight review panels statewide by making it illegal for them to receive or follow up on complaints of law enforcement encounters. The new bill restricts citizens from serving on police review panels, with the exception of up to 7, chosen by the Sherriff, but restricts them to only being able to review Policy, not individual officer actions or performance.
wow.
Florida the sunshine police state
Fascism passed off as freedom protections. That’s America for ya.🤗
Wrote in to law a distance of 25 feet to stay back while recording or you're obstructing.
That's horrifying
Love the “we investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.” Either the police department or police union will always defend/cover up a cops wrongdoings.
I used to work in state government and part of my job was the federal reporting of deaths in police custody. This included deaths from police interactions and jail/prison data. When I say I was ZERO PERCENT surprised to hear Phil talk about them withholding information, I mean It. It was like PULLING TEETH to get death information, even from the coroners office. Half of the time, my data came from news articles I GOOGLED as whatever I was sent by law enforcement would either be inaccurate, (not even having the deceased correct name, sex, or age) or I wouldn’t receive anything at all. I’d expect better reporting from prisons as they have records of everything that happens within their walls but that wasn’t the case.
I think it's pretty f'ed up that a woman can go to jail in Texas for terminating a pregnancy, but wait a few years and cop can shoot or suffocate that kid and get a paid leave of absence. What the hell is wrong with us.😢
The baby isn't shooting the cop. There's your difference. Oh poor baby dexter Reed. Noticed Phil didn't cover that one. Yet he always seems to talk about crime and "police brutality" towards black people. Weird how that works.
@@VSPoliFightIt’s almost like you didn’t listen to the segment…
@@kendra_biiiich oh God why did I waste my time thinking a leftist actually had an iq above double digits. I just went through again to see if he brought up either dexter Reed or actual crime statistics. And no he didn't.
Love how the argument for police brutality leading to deaths is "It's ONLY 1,000 dead people vs the millions of police interactions over the last decade. Not a big deal." It's a 1,000 that we know of. The data in incomplete, because police departments are allowed to fudge the reports with no oversight other than themselves. I bet the numbers of way higher. If police departments had to be accountable for everything, weren't allowed to black out, falsify, or be extra vague in their reporting, actually got criminally punished for killing unarmed suspects, they'd get their shit together real quick. But there's no accountability, and there never will be without a complete overhaul of the system. The government is too lazy to bother doing that. Fuck the police.
Yes, but then people like you say all police are bad even though it's like 0.01% of the time, and then you also claim that 99.99999999999999999999999% of all police. Officers are horrible. There definitely needs to be a lot of reforms and shrinking of the police departments. But some y'all crazy
This is the deaths, think about how many arms they are breaking, skulls they are cracking
Body cameras haven't been in use wide spread for very long. They significantly help both, the police and the civilians to keep things fair. More bad cops seem to actually face consequences now because of it, but also, there is less misrepresentation / false claims of police brutally in the cases where force was actually justified. There is still ways to go, but it has gotten much better.
@@PropheticShadeZI wonder if they include brain deaths. I'm sure they don't count becoming permanently paralyzed and/or having a much lower quality of life for...the rest of it
Very much agreed, how many are just being silenced?
I work as a 911 paramedic for the local county in Texas. Our county has a substantial population of citizens with mental heath issues and a State Supported Living Center. I have personally experienced an increase in Law Enforcement calling us out to a scene to "K-hole" a subject that they just don't want to deal with. The mentality is "If the medics sedate them, they become the medic's problem". I have walked up to scenes where the cops are not even kneeling on a prone subject and they are struggling for breath. They fail to recognize and understand that when you remove someone's ability to protect themselves, YOU are now responsible for it. If I showed such levels of negligence to one of my patients, my license would be pulled and I could never work as a paramedic again. Instead of accountability, the 'bad apples' get to resign and apply to the neighboring departments.
If you want to see how hard it is to breathe in a "Non-Lethal Prone Restraint position", lay flat on your stomach with your hands behind your back and your chin touching one one of your shoulders. It's not easy or sustainable for long.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the people in those situations have a massively increased oxygen demand due to the stress or physical activity before/during.
Yea there are not very many checks at all. They have no actual responsibility even though, when a person is in custody, they are responsible for their health, just like an emt...
I (smaller than average build) actually went ahead and tried the non lethal prone restraint position as you say with the hands behind the back and chin touching the shoulder thing. I tried it with no weight on my back/neck (tried different areas), with 1 friend on my back/neck, and with 2 friends doing the same(medium builds). I tried this to simulate the scenario as authentically as I could. This simulation does not account for different restrained persons' body weights, builds, drugs/inebriation status, and or any anxiety, fear, or any other type of panicking or claustrophobia. I had no problem breathing for up to ~30 minutes (I'm aware sometimes people are held longer than that, but my friends nor I had the time)
I suppose the point of writing this is to ask if you tried the same scenario yourself before writing this comment, and if you have, what type of variables did you have different than mine?
womp womp...how many recourses are we throwing away to "help" these people? a good majority of them will still die. Im sick of helping people...im sick of spending my life trying to fix the fuckups. i give up i dont wanna help anymore and you should either. NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED!!! we are hurting everyone because we think helping this one person is the right thing to do. zoom out to the bigger picture its not!
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve successfully de-escalated a psychiatric patient and convinced them to come with me to the hospital for an evaluation, just for some cop to come in and start yelling at them about an ounce of weed they found in the patients side table. Completely reversing all the hard work I put in trying to connect with this patient. I get it, some people can’t be negotiated with and require sedation. But to these cops every time a patient is uncooperative, they just don’t wanna deal with them and jump the gun and go straight to sedation. It’s lazy and inhumane.
It's not called No-Lethal, Its LESS lethal. People can def still die, Just most wont.
The clarity and confidence with which the woman in the first vid confronted the guy is aspirational.
At what point will our federal government actually enact some police accountability laws? The whole "we investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing" is so beyond messed up. This needs to be a federal law that investigations are overseen by someone else. What has to happen for us to get to this? Does a literal cop have to go on an unhinged killing spree and then their department decides he did no wrong doing for someone to finally step in? How far are we seriously going to let this go?
One of the things that sticks out to me from being a teenage "pot-head" was how many times I was told by our Police, "if you have done nothing wrong, then you have nothing to hide," before being illegally searched over cannabis.
Is that why our Police are so clearly horrified by the thought of the public ever demanding even a shred of professional accountability from them? Interesting how their own logic doesn't apply to them.
I'm thinking the cops noticed you smelled like pot dude.
@@therocketboost And that has what to do with that same logic applying to police accountability again?
This!!
@@therocketboost I love how everyone who smokes weed has to be too clueless to ever do anything about the smell... smh
After all the times you can see police using the, “ I think I smell weed” to search someone’s car and still come up empty, it’s a bit like the boy who cried wolf. If they can just lie to have reasonable suspicion to search you, then you have no rights. Perhaps they will need to come up with a weed smell detector to go along with the body cam to keep them honest.
Seeing the difference between police related deaths compared to other nations is terrifying. That list is saying "hey want cops that won't kill you might want to live somewhere else"
Thanks for covering that story about Law Enforcement Phil. I'm an officer myself. It's always disheartened to hear statistics like that, but also scary. I try to be the best, most prepared, safest, and kindest officer I can be every day I put on my badge.
But that doesn't stop the fact that I could easily be an officer contributing to those numbers. No matter how prepared or well trained I am, I know that whatever scenario i find myself in, I am going home at the end of the night, and I do the best I can to make sure that happens in a lawful way but, accidents and shitty coworkers who dont do what I do can get in the way. And there really is no fix for that. With how understaffed most agencies in the country are, bad cops come and go just as much (maybe even more) than the good ones.
Statistics never cover the whole story, especially with something as broad as policing (specifically in America). With how many guns are being cranked out daily, it's the Wild Wild West out here, and we're under equipt out the ass!
Alot of agencies were understaffed and under equipt before defunding the police bacame a thing, and now it's worse. Bottom line we need, reform, more funding, and more training if America wants these statistics to change. And even then, it will never be zero, like you said.
Sorry If this just sounds like a sad cop ranting im getting off shift (7/8) and its 7am. Which also doesn't help... WE ARE OVERWORKED
I am a line cook, and without HONEST feedback, I would legit never get better. The corporate gaslighting has worked SO well that regular people are having the fight for them nowadays
Does a bad review kill a company? Only if they don't know how to use that bad review and turn it into improvements.
This exactly this. Just improve the product.
Bingo. If you release a bad product and don't learn from its flaws, you deserve to go out of business.
And when the head of the company themselves says they not only hold no I'll will, but they also appreciate the criticism, it's time to stop complaining
Bingo.

Bro, you hit the nail on the head.
That lady who recorded and confronted the first guy is brave AF and i respect the hell out of her.
There was a guy in my highschool class who did a very similar thing, and he ended up going to jail and registering as a sex offender because he was 18 and she wasn't.
6:40 I’ve actually been to 5 NY Liberty games growing up, 24yo, and as a little girl playing ball it always broke my heart how empty the seats were. (This was before they built Barclays center in bklyn) It’s amazing to watch Caitlin play and see everyone recognize what I’ve always known. You want good basketball: watch the women; want to see grown men fall down while being poked: watch the NBA!!
So excited to see Caitlin on the next level even if she’s on the wrong team.
Imagine becoming a veteran after all the years you served your country were these police officers live in, just for you to get killed by the police because to them you look suspicious .
“Looked suspicious” and became violent and resisted arrest are vastly different.
No one died by looking suspicious, people died through resisting arrest and fleeing.
@@ducksquidbat8315 How hard was the *95-year-old* resisting arrest that it justified a fucking takedown that led to his death? Perhaps, and I need you to follow me here, Cops are just a bunch of c*nts that know they face no consequences for their actions?
You're the type of people who run with a false narrative that causes the sheep to follow, you do harm. Remember that. Incredible how your comment is liked, but the one above me holding the truth isn't. Keep doing the devils work.
@@ducksquidbat8315yeah people don't die because they look suspicious. The "looking suspicious" part is what the cops use to justify beating them to death with sticks and a taser.
@@ducksquidbat8315 ah so fleeing and resisting is an automatic death sentence . Got it .
Thomas Elliot is literally the name of a Batman villain. Makes sense as the guy is a total creep
Literally a peeping Tom
Hahaha! Maestro I came into the comments to say that. 😂 Good on ya!
I found Phil when I was in middle school. I work contract jobs around the country now and listening to him every morning just gives me a sense of home.
So USC can handle security concerns for known politician and celebrity parents… but not for own student?
They need to end Qualified Immunity, the "we have investigated ourselves and find no wrong doing" will literally keep happening until it happens to a politician
Agreed! They need to buy their own liability insurance just like doctors do!
I wouldn't say to End qualified immunity, but to greatly reduce the situations in which it is applied. There definitely are situations where a cop goes into a situation, means well, and things go wrong. It happens sometimes. But the way its applied now, it's used in almost any situation where a cop *chooses* to ignore the rules of conduct and go balls to the wall Terminator on an old dude who just got hit by a car, because the old dude refused to ID without any RAS of a crime that HE committed.
@@evercuriousmichelle smart cops already buy PLI
I don't think we need to end qualified immunity.
We need to end the misuse and broad interpretation of qualified immunity.
I can remember being the only person in my first year law school memo arguing that conduct outside of their specific duties fell outside of qualified immunity and having to defend it like it was my first born to judges and lawyers who said it was tOo HaRd To DeTeRmInE wHaT wAs In Or OuT.
And I never felt more justified as when Derek Chauvin went to prison and lost his appeals.
They absolutely should be protected for *doing their job*. Their job needs to stop being and including the destruction of property, life, and liberty. Let their crimes do that for them, and let everything else be on them.
Qualified immunity does have a purpose and a place.
But not everything should be qualified and that is going to be a mindset change whether or not we call for it's abolition.
@@evercuriousmichelleThey ABSOLUTELY SHOULD! I'm so glad to hear someone else say this!!!!
What does it say about the world when someone has to explain to people that it’s the responsibility of a company to make good products to keep their business alive, not on the people who review those products?
Wait... Isn't universities where free speech is supposed to be allowed and encouraged?
Is it me or is this MKBHD thing one of those stories about “people being mad” when we’re talking about like 20 people and everyone else thinks it’s dumb.
Aren't cops supposed to know first aid? If a person stops breathing in your custody... youre supposed to fucking help them and call emts
Still holding out hopes for cops to give a sh*t about people, eh?
@@Snarl_Marx oh no I never have. Don't worry
@@Snarl_MarxI don’t think anyone is under delusions that cops will help anymore, most of us just want to see heads roll
I wouldn't trust a cop to mow my lawn much less enforce laws and not make things worse
There definitely needs to be better training and effective systems to identify and actually get rid of the bad apples. But all the "all cops are bad / evil" comments are super stupid too.
I think a big problem with "less than lethal" methods is that instead of using them instead of lethal force, they are often used instead of de-escalation. They carry a risk of death, so they should only be used as an alternative to lethal force, not to supplement restraint.
Thank you. As you said for covering issues that most people wouldn’t know about because it’s not in their sphere. Whether you’re talking about Warhammer, or the issues in Linux last week. It’s great to see that you make sure people are well rounded in the news, even in subjects, they may not be an expert in.
MKBHD "Bad product is bad"
Everyone apparently "How could he be so mean?"
Thank you so much for discussing the less lethal force story.
I live on the west coast, and last year I experienced the worst manic episode of my life. It was so bad that I was in psychosis for almost three weeks. There was one point where I believed I was dead and I could not discern fiction from reality. A loved one called 911 because they did not know what to do and when the police showed up I immediately freaked out. I genuinely believed that the US government was out to get me so I kept saying “this is political suicide,” they heard “suicide” and decided to put me on a 72 hour hold. Two officers grabbed me and tried handcuffing me. I started screaming and then fell to the ground. One officer put me in one of those prone restraints. The officer put all of his weight into my back and pulled one of my arms far behind my back. There was so much weight on my back I started gasping for air and my arm was pulled back for far it felt like it was going to snap. I stopped fighting when I felt myself about to pass out from the loss of oxygen. I started crying and screaming because I didn’t know what was really happening. I ended up being covered in bruises and had a huge gash in my knee. Police are not properly trained to de-escalate most situations without using excessive force let alone a scenario with someone in crisis. I am so lucky that I was able to survive that interaction with police and the fact that I even have to say that sentence shows that the US needs police reform NOW.
That’s horrific. This is exactly why police do NOT need to be involved in mental health wellness checks. We need specialized EMTs specifically trained in that. Even regular EMTs are typically advised to go for physical and chemical restraint pretty quickly. I’m on a lot of EMT forums due to a crossover with my field and some of the comments about these scenarios are inhumane and scary.
Jesus Christ I'm so glad you're safe. Fucking terrifying.
That’s horrifying, I’m so sorry you had to experience that. If that were me, dude probably would’ve cracked my spine, ribs, and arm!
Damn, you are bonkers
plus US health care is abusing human rights. I dont defend cops ever, but they are not multitool. fix your damn Republic,
It really is cartoonish and what would seem like a hyperbole, but that one cop firing at his own squad car because of the acorn drop, really does show how fast they are to choose violence.
It's really cartoonish and what would seem like hyperbole, that propagandists like Phil will talk endlessly about supposed police brutality highlighting outlier cases while ignoring the majority that prove why police need to be on guard.
@@VSPoliFight why can't they need to be there and also be effective while not being ignorant? It's called standards, which there should be high standards for people who can take someone's life away and face no repercussions for it.
@@isaacbrown4506 what do you think the word effective means and what do you think ignorance is? Because I gaurentee you have a ridiculous leftist insane definition of both of those words.

Maybe they'll let me say 5 words. Standards for cops not criminals
How about standards for society?
@VSPoliFight same shit happens to me when I try to talk about what equipment should be sent to a certain Eastern European country that's been invaded. Not all criminals are murderers, so why should they be allowed to treat all criminals like shit because they're criminals? I've got a criminal record from when I was younger, people make mistakes man. As long as they're not monsters, then they should be treated like any other human is.
I still can't get past the fact that people would want to wear what looks like a dollhouse sized bathroom scale on their shirt. FOR $700! PLUS MONTHLY FEES!
Pearl Jam warned us about Ticketmaster way back in the 90's.
Ugh, as someone who lived in Spartanburg SC right next to Greenville, the number of church volunteers, youth pastors, pastors, deacons, etc that get arrested for sexual crimes each year is disturbing. The same area where I was denied a D&C for a miscarriage, denied both the COVID and flu vaccines at a Walgreens, and told I wasn’t allowed back in a doctors office when I said the word “bullshit” to a doctor who told me he couldn’t help me because of “Obamacare” (I had regular insurance provided to state employees, not ACA, heck it didn’t even meet the requirements of the ACA).
Their priorities are all wrong there and it’s leading to a lot of disturbed young men and women who honestly believe sex Ed is meant to harm them.
Wrong greenville. It was greenville NC that this incident happened.
Damn they are really sniffing paint and eating lead chips over there, eh? I'm from Florida, and I thought it was bad down here. We look like a nice Sunday brunch compared to what you've experienced. Hope you live somewhere that's more tolerant.
i wonder what all those people have in common... might have something to do with a cross and a half naked dude hanging on there...
and as someone who is currently living there, I am having a bad time lol

Yall want women in the WNBA to make more money. Go to the games , watch the games & buy the damn merch !!!
So you are saying if you eat more McDonald's the workers will be paid more?
"THEY DON'T SELL ANY TICKETS!" - Bill Burr
@@julesmasseffectmusicwell if no one ate McDonalds they would in fact go bankrupt eventually so yea
@@julesmasseffectmusic Difference is McDonalds hasn't lost money every year it existed like the WNBA has.
@julesmasseffectmusic Yes, that is exactly how it works. Right now the WNBA is completely subsidized by the NBA so it's no shock that they can't negotiate for better pay.
I would be much more convinced to use Babbel if you did your next sponsor ad in the language you are learning 😁
Thanks Phil for knowing some of us watch these in the morning (usually at work, don't tell my boss)
I actually tried to watch WNBA games with my daughters when they were growing up but couldn’t find any. When I called the cable company, they said they didn’t show any because there was no audience and, when I pointed out that I was trying to be the audience they claimed didn’t exist, they said a supervisor would call me. They, of course, didn’t. 🙄
I've gone to bars where they are playing ALL male games and asked for them to put on a woman's game. Yes, ANY game where women are playing, and they said their package didn't include those channels. Then, of course, some dudes made comments about no one wanting to watch that. I always ask, and sometimes they can, but often those games are on ESPN "obscure number that no one ever has"
Coached my daughters bball teams, they played competitively. It’s silly to complain about the salaries when no one looks at what is being brought in. Tiger changed golf pay structures and income went way up as a result for players. Hopefully Clark can bring more money in and then they can get paid. It’s called a startup.
This is such an important caveat to the WNBA viewership issue, ESPN and sports orgs do barely anything to promote women’s sports. It’s insane to me that they don’t market or advertise it, especially to other women.
I'm sure the three of you who try to watch the games will make up the 10b+ deficit between what the WNBA makes and what the NBA makes 🙄 They don't waste money advertising because noone watches. If they spent money to advertise to 10 million people and 500 of them watched, they wouldn't make back even a fraction. WNBA games can be super exciting, I've watched a few myself. Doesn't mean a thing if they don't pull in enough revenue, unfortunately 🤷🏼
Damn son you should be a creative story writer you might beat the 12 year olds in a competition
I wonder if the woman who filmed Thomas Elliott had the same thought that many women do: "No one will believe me if I don't have any evidence." Either way, I'm so glad she filmed him. She protected so many people.
Exactly what I was thinking 😡 and IF that asshole wasn't doing what we know he was doing, why not show them your phone?
"No one will believe me if I don't have any evidence" is the reason I have a dashcam in my car. It has so much less to do with gender here than it has to do with the judicial system requiring hard evidence when it uses state power to deprive citizens of their liberty. She probably was thinking it when she filmed him, but that's not really a problem, it's just evidence that she understands this system. Maybe it's not good if she believes would believe her, but at the very least it seems completely reasonable that she should need to provide evidence in order to get the police to act, right? Surely you don't actually desire a society where people can arbitrarily uproot each other's lives with verbal accusations alone?
@@geisenm I did not phrase it well. For clarification: I wondered if she had the thought of going to security before she filmed him because she saw it happening, but decided to film him first because she thought security take Thomas at his word over hers. The hard evidence required from the judicial system could also be acquired from his phone or Target's security cameras, but it would also be a longer and more fraught process depending on the individual store and police involved.
This person did not have to film him, but she did, and I'm glad. She stood up for herself and others.
the scary part is, i saw a LOT of people that were insisting the video was staged. so unfortunately, there are people out there who still don’t believe her. even with a video 😢
My skin was crawling the way he kept saying “Ma’am, I really wasn’t” in such a quiet tone for that first clip. 🤢
As someone who lives in Greenville, this is talk of the town non-stop. I and many others are glad the women stood up and confronted him
Looking at the chart of police killings is genuinely horrifying. For the 'free-est country in the world' we have an insane amount of police killings.
Because the US is a fascist state with the best PR in the world.
I remember when I was a kid, my pops took me to a WNBA game. I had never been to one before, and when we arrived, I asked him two questions: "can we sit anywhere we want?" and "is this a practice game?" Because the entire stadium was empty aside from us and the players. From what I've seen, nothing has changed 20 years later.
And yet feminists will still complain they don’t pay the women enough… yet won’t show up to the games.
Nope, hasn't changed. And it likely never will, at least not to the degree that they'll compete with men.
@@williameldridge9382 Exactly. And ppl keep trying to make it a sexist argument. The WNBA just isn't popular with men OR women. The gap in pay will disappear if it starts bringing in money but so far the WNBA has only been kept on life support by NBA money. That'll probably never change.
It has changed for some teams, and of course, if people aren't willing to even give the players/teams a chance, then yeah... it won't change. This years incoming talent is definitely going to change things. Women's college brought in more viewers than men's college and more money than the Super Bowl. Now those same players are in the wnba
@@Kirasfox Saying "it will change" is a wish, not a guarantee. There is no evidence that those viewers will suddenly start following the WNBA. It might happen, but based on the history of viewership, I would argue it won't.
The need for police reform has never been more urgent. The police have shown they don’t honor their oaths. They aren’t trained enough or have proper training.
I literally just saw a reddit story today on r/offmychest that someone lost their dog to a police raid. They didn't have a warrant and the police shot the dog. They're not the good guys. They've never been the good guys.
Especially when you see footage of them laughing about hurting animals/random innocent people. They don’t even try to hide it.
Could that have been the ATF?
When the head of their union laughs about young lady mowed down by a cruiser and thinks she had limited value at 23, I have no hope. Police dont become psychopaths, psychopaths become cops.
@@akhnatenpage4854them laughing about abuse (human or animal) should make them lose their positions period. There is 0 excuse and nobody but abusers would want to give abusers tools to do more harm or worse.
Lol so if you ever get robbed or shot what will you ever do🤡😂😂😂
Law enforcement seems to train every method of dealing with people except taking a deep breath and talking to them.
Or understanding a mentally ill person does in fact scream for hours before they calm down or tire themselves out. Screaming isn't a threat. It's a way to release agony. But the body cam footage I've seen, it's like screaming is permission for police to use brute force. I do not get it.
Seriously. Although they have also shot people who were not screaming, like that case with the young man with ASD and his caretaker, who got down on his stomach with his hands up, and they still shot
That’s weird. Me and everyone else I know have exclusively had calm encounters with law enforcement. We must have just been some of the few lucky people out of the 334m citizens because, like, I saw some videos of cops being unprofessional so I’m sure that’s how they all are
@@freedomishavingachoice3020go to stressful, c9nflict ridden situations with substantial risk for ykur life day in and day out. Deal with all manber of scum and cruelty.
Then you will have a frame of reference to talk from and your arguments will have a leg to stand on.
That reaction of the man in the first clip: "I'm not like that"
Makes my skin crawl, guys like that, if it wasn't filmed, he'd have gotten away with it
Your section on less lethal force resulting in fatalities is the most nuanced and insightful breakdown of the issue I have ever heard. Excellent work by AP in how they investigated the cases and excellent work in how you reported it. Gaining these kinds of perspectives is the only way these kinds of systems can be refined to protect people from unnecessary harm.
I can't believe the dude gets caught red-handed doing his creepy shit, gets told by the person confronting him that the act was caught on video, and then...decides to stick around until the cops show up? Either fully believed that it wasn't possible for him to get caught and suffer consequence, or worse, had no sense that what he was doing was wrong at all.
He 100% knew what he was doing was sick but I agree with the rest
He’s prolly convinced some women before through his whining that he wasn’t doing what he was doing. Without the camera it would be his word vs hers. Doesn’t work when you’re being filmed tho.
He's used to God bailing him out. Or, at least "God's" name and/or followers.
Can't wait for him to enter the Josh Duggar Remediation and Rehabilitation Program
@@OGimouse1Basically taking God’s name in vain.
I'd say he didn't think she really had it on film, because he's clearly the kind of idiot that thinks he's smarter and sneakier than everyone else. So, he stuck around, because leaving would look suspicious and he didn't want the cops showing up at his home or work to "hassle" him.
How ironic that our peeping Tom's first name is Thomas lol
eww
Everytime i hear that line about the fullfilling ding. It makes me wonder why a person should be getting excited to hear a ding. Looking forward to it even, eager to earn it. It reminds me of training horses 😂

Police accountability is the saddest situation in America rn. When i was 13 i watch my grandmother have break down as she tryed to get her oil changed but couldn't because the only person working automotive was the ex cop that admitted to *aping my mother and another woman while in custody. He was fired but never charged. They get away woth whatever yhey want because its a gang pretending to be heroic. The response i get when i tell pilthis story is usually violence or indifference. There should be harsher punishment when the ones who are supposed to protect the vulnerable.. not less. And my story gets crazier from there. Thanks Phil for highlighting this issue ❤
Btw yes this is Florida specifically Flagler County
I can't wait for the day when I ask a lady out and get the response, "I can't tonight. I have tickets to a WNBA game / watching it with the girls". Can't expect men to hold up WNBA, ladies gotta buy the tickets and watch their lionesses too!
"WOMEN failed the WNBA." - Bill Burr
@@funkspinna I love that skit for two reasons. 1) it's hilarious. 2) it seems like people are actually starting to watch: it might've pushed the needle.
Emergency Services murdered my cousin through profiling. She was Indigenous Canadian, and she had a heart condition. She was having an attack when the "professionals" on scene dosed her with Narcan, assuming (despite repeatedly being told otherwise) that she was "just another overdose case". When it didn't work, instead of listening to her sister, they dosed her AGAIN. She died, and afaik, nothing ever happened to her killers.
Believe it or not but Narcan doesn’t kill people. I’m sorry about your cousin though.
@@sebastianschrader838 maybe it was the untreated heart attack? 🤔
That's not profiling, nor is it murder. I am genuinely sorry about your cousin and your loss, but that is factually not what happened if your account of events is accurate.
People might tell you you're wrong, that this doesn't happen, but as an Indigenous person myself, living in a small town that is in such an opiate crisis that there was actually a documentary made about the town (we've been slowly circling the drain for over a decade), this happens too often. People are assumed to be overdosing when they are actually having a different medical emergency. Some here have actually started saying they need to stop handing out free narcan kits to let the "trash take itself out", and I am targeted by security in every store I set foot in. I'm not and have never been an addict, nor am I a criminal, I'm just brown and tattooed. Same with my boyfriend.
I am so sorry for your loss, and I am so heartbroken that there was no justice for her.
LOL narcan doesn't kill you genius.
Obviously you're lying.
The fact the first dude had been part of a church group is so wrong but funny to me 😂 I just imagine another priest being like "you did the in-church stuff outside man, cmon"
Don't worry he will pray for forgiveness and think he is a good person like many of them do
Ya it’s actually unsurprising I’ve met a bunch of church volunteers who are creeps
There are actually far more predators in the church than out of it. The fact that this isn’t more widely known shows how the brainwashing of hundreds of years has been successful. WHO are the ones telling us that they’re the godly ones, after all? Isn’t it them? Every church I’ve been in has had a predator in their leadership. It’s one of the main reasons I left.
No he didn't. Those were grown women. Way too old...
Most churches don’t have priests. Most churches don’t have abuse going on. That’s why it is news when there is abuse within a church.
That final song at the end of the videos is my jam now. I only know it from here but I have to find the song.
Congress voting on whether a term (that has been used decades before the current genocide) as antisemitism is almost the same as classifying the swastik symbol used in India as antisemitism. It isn’t about Jewish ppl. It makes me sick when ppl keep connecting Jewish ppl with the state of Israel. Israel is not and never was in the interest of Jewish ppl, otherwise they never would’ve accepted Zionism with open arms, not to mention start a war with an entire different country knowing the possible consequences for its people. Israel is NOT Jewish ppl the same way Palestinian ppl are NOT Hamas.
Also, it doesn’t take too much effort to find out how many of those politicians who voted for the term being antisemitism are funded by AIPAC.
About the Caitlin Clark story, which you alluded to is: the reason why the WNBA contracts are lower is because it operates at a lower cost compared to many other sports/entertainment media.
NBA earns somewhere to close to $10 billion or two in revenue while the WNBA not even close (if I remember correctly) somewhere around 150 million. It's not a man/woman wage gap issue, it's a "company not getting people watching, going to shows, buying merch, or TV deals etc"
I think it would be good to rename the NBA to the MNBA, or include women under the NBA name and have separate divisions.
I know it seems superficial, but when even the name emphasizes the men as being the default and women only being some spinoff or after thought, it's no wonder people treat it that way.
@@Bendylife It's like that because the WNBA is subsidized by the NBA, truth be told, the league would have folded years ago if the NBA didn't pump money into it every year. Also, NBA has name recognition.
@Bendylife there's no rules preventing women from playing in the NBA, or any of the major sports leagues in America. They just simple aren't good enough to play alongside superhuman men.
@jhines5713 I never said anything about them playing against eachother, I'm talking about how it's named.
@Bendylife I think his point is technically anyone can play in the NBA whereas WNBA is specifically women. Although I agree technicalities don't matter here since we've never seen a woman play in NBA history.
Yikes things are going out of control.
I can't believe he tried to deny it instead of just sprinting out embarrassed... I guess that goes to show how comfortable he felt doing it and how little he expected to be caught/punished.
I have said for years that any death involving a police officer should be investigated by the FBI.
LOL. That's not the mandate of the FBI.
Unfortunately, i dont think that would help much. cops are cops and the fbi relies on local police forces in their investigations. If local cops feel that they can't trust fbi, then they'll be less helpful. I think an oversight organization needs to be all civilian and not a participant in any other law enforcemt activities
ummmmAgent. Boot en arse At yer service
at this rate they'd need to double the amount of people working for the FBI just to have enough people to cover these investigations
Lady who recorded the creep taking upskirt photos is smart. Thank god she got video of the dude hard to dodge in court.
Is it Japan that has the Shutter Camera laws where your camera must make a loud noise when you take a picture, and it can't be turned off? We need that here.
The other POINT of this investigation is SO WE CAN reduce that number from 1000 to ZERO! Anyone who speaks out against these stats should not be in law enforcement or public office.
If you think we will ever have a perfect system your deluded
It's an exponential curve and right now a miniscule amount of effort can save a lot of lives in this area of the investigation. Yeah eventually it would take more drastic and probably expensive measures to get the yearly deaths even lower, but we're not talking about having the best profit-to-effort ratio where we might stop when it's too much work to save a buck, we're talking about saving lives.
A lot of people in power forget that everyone is as much of a human as they are and instead think of them as statistics and I'll never understand how.
@@ryancool21and that magically makes the 1000 deaths fine, so don't sweat about it.
Bill Burr already gave us the perfect diagnosis for the WNBA pay gap problem. Nothing further can really be added.
Yup, its as simple as this. You bring in a portion of what the company brings in, and the WNBA is not bringing in a ton of money. If people want WNBA stars to make more money, they should put their money where their mouth is, and support the WNBA by buying tickets. lol
Nice try troll, this video literally showed that the WBNA finals had more viewers than the MBNA finals. Loser. @stagnant13
@@shadycatz85 yes thats why WNBA is being subsidized by NBA.
@@shadycatz85 unfortunately you misunderstood what was said in the video. It was the NCAA final (college) that had higher viewership then male college finals (it also exceeded the NBA finals views to) in contrast the WNBA final didn’t exceed 800k. NCAA women’s basketball has been doing better in viewership by far compared to WNBA hence why recent athletes get more in Nil deals compared to WNBA wages. As Phil and others have said, Caitlin and Angel are some of the reasons viewership in NCAA games increased even further recently and are likely the push that will increase viewership in the WNBA which in turn would eventually increase wages if it continues going upwards. One problem is most standard packages don’t include WNBA games and this was due to low viewership so most companies pushed them into an obscure package. The statement of it makes no money because not enough watch is true for the WNBA, the new wave of athletes coming from college might be the catalyst to change that is the point of what Phil was saying.
@@shadycatz85 first off, that was the NCAA finals they were comparing, not the NBA or WNBA. Secondly, one moment of interest does not equate consistent viewership. Now, if the WNBA was to consistently keep those numbers up, the pay would rise to meet the demand. But for that you have to buy tickets and merchandise.
No viewership, merch, ticket sales, no money, really is that simple.
This feels relevant since story 1 is about a creepy upskirter. Has anyone else noticed that on shorts trending on UA-cam are channels that do nothing but creep shot women (I say women but a lot look like they are between 16 and 18) at beaches and water parks (so you know exclusively in bikinis). I bring this up to bring attention to these as they definitely qualify for harassment and gods know that if you dont complain about a violation it gets ignored
Really happy to see you cover police brutality. It's one of the most important issues in this country for me. It's not just the brutality. It's the way they overstep their authority every chance they get. The way they believe they have the right to demand ID from anybody, and have the right to escalate the situation if they don't get it, regardless of their legally required to give it or not. The way they will literally cause a high-speed chase over a minor traffic infraction, that leads to serious injury to the suspect, the officer, or innocent bystanders. And the absolute worst part, which I'm really glad you mentioned, is the fact that more often than not, they're cleared by their department because we let police departments investigate themselves for some goddamn reason
That first story... jesus christ he tried to gaslight her so bad. If I was in her shoes without video evidence I would've been second guessing myself. Good on her for staying strong.
The first story is just depressing... It's so common that even I encountered a blog on tumblr within the past year that was entirely about creep shots of women being filmed/photographed without their consent. The only reason I even saw it in the first place is because they happened to tag one of their posts with "dresses", which is a tag I happen to follow because I enjoy fashion. Not scumbags who spy on women. I got them reported and taken down, but it really does feel like just a drop in the sea of sex offenders.
One comment on that cop story - sure 1000 deaths in 10 years is a very small fraction of police interactions, but there are also a lot of negative interactions that don't lead to death where the police either injure or just harass people.
I hope they also search that upskirt guy's phone and computer.
As someone who grew up with their mom always saying to wear shorts or tights under skirts & dresses, it's for this fear that I still do today. Seeing it actually happen in the video and for him to play the innocent game after being caught, absolutely disgusting.
Also, I usually watch on mobile, but today I decided on smart TV... and it cut up the intro. It just started with 'Bastard' so I like to think it was about the peeping douche.
Kudos to that lady for speaking out !
