Everyone ready for the holidays?
no
Heck yeah!
Nope
Nicholas sure isn't. 😂
No. S.A.D. is kicking my ass. I'm not sure I'm gonna survive this year. Struggling to find a reason to continue.
He clearly has 2 honorable parents with integrity. It's not always a lack of parental guidance. Sometimes, kids just choose the wrong path.
Great comment.
@@seagullpoet He didn't learn those speech patterns from his parents obviously.
Right and speech patterns are indicators for murderers get a grip dude such an unnecessary comment@@adamschrader328
What it is, is he wanted to be accepted. Seeing his mugshot he look soft as hell, and he wanted to join a gang. He wanted to show his chest or his peers. This has little to do with the parents. He’s softer than Rosanne son. See how he broke down with his parents. Like the Narrator said, he now has to face reality.
Lmao
My grandmother use to say “show me your friends and I’ll show you your future” smh who you choose to hang with can affect your entire life. Mom and dad have me in tears.
Such a wise grandmother you had!
A wise lady
VERY Well SAID.. A very Wise Woman.. Facts. ❤💯🙏
Your grandma had common sense
That is so true.
Parents interrogating him harder than any detective would.
Just how it supposed to be, the cops are hearing everything anyway so they ain’t gotta do much work🤷🏾♂️
My ppls would never do no sh*t like that! Lawyer up don’t say sh*t
100% conviction that's why they have forensic evidence against him and video
Parents are terrified 😰
@@jaesodos1567 bingo
its SO REFRESHING to see parents who refuse to play victim along with the suspect.
Kudos to the parents
I agree, but I don’t know why but I got a feeling that the parents wanted him gone
@@user-wy1dl2me2pthose are shitty parents trynna convict their own son wtf interrogating him. I’m getting my son a lawyer and telling him keep his fucking mouth shut
What bothers me the most is that his parents seem like great people and I’m sure they raised him better.
Absolutely sad.
The kids bad what can they do
He lies shamelessly to them. Not a good sign.
yes, his mother and father will be probably wondering the rest of their lives what they could have done to prevent their son to commit that crime. It is heartbreaking.
I thought the same thing, and could see that. These young kids need to listen to their parents!!! Smdh.
How tragic is this?! He's got BOTH of his parents in his life and he deliberately WANTED to be a gang member?!?! If you CAN'T do the time, then DON'T do the crime! It's as simple as that! And I DO feel bad for the victim, too! It's tragic on ALL levels!!!
that just goes to show it dosent matter who's in the household kids will be influenced by who and what they want to be influenced by
Heartbreaking... threw away everything; thinking he had nothing to lose until it was already gone
And you can tell they’re loving parents too
I am not in support of violence of any kind but I think you should recognize the gangs have huge influence over kids and what they misconstrue to be "cool." I don't think the word "wanted" is the right one. They are influenced a great deal by peer-pressure, negative role-models in music and movie culture and so on. It's not uncommon for kids to join gangs to feel "protected," even though that is a terribly misguided reason, I understand it. I wish it were simple but it's not.
It's not a stereotype if it's always true. It's a consistent character trait.
Everybody wants to be a gangster until it's time to suffer the consequences. This boy was blessed with two loving, supportive and level headed parents. My heart breaks for them.
Someone dropped the ball on this kid. If he was blessed with 2 loving parents would he have searched out a violent gang does that make sense to you? I'm not saying they didn't love their child but they definitely missed the mark the kid is a thief and a murderer and a police officer to boot really loving families don't produce cop killers no way no how. This bleeding heart BS produces this kind of crap the actions of the punk is on his parents in one way or another.
When our kids go outside we are not responsible for there actions they b trying to impress they friends the parents didn't drop shit he had good parents he choose to kill n steal n I bet he didn't have to do none of that ....
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink
Your parents can raise you right and you can still make bad choices. I was raised in a two parent married household. Very loving and I still ended up doing drugs and whatever because of my choices.. so it was their choice not his parents or his neighbors.. His actions....
@@denniscerasoli6209 some kids have supporting parents and still Try to be a part of a gang because of friends from school, of the neighborhood or just the place they grew up at it ain't always the parents fault obviously you ain't grow up in that environment
Parents should’ve gotten him a lawyer asap regardless if he did it or not.
Thank you 🌝
Always remain silent and ask for an attorney!
Why?
So their child they raised properly could possibly get off with murder?
These parents obviously have values, they aren't into that, and I wouldn't be either as a father of 3.
If my child did something wrong, own up to it! At some point, as a parent, they have to make their own decisions in life and be accountable for them!
Hide behind a lawyer, f that.
Exactly this is just sad uneducated parents ruined his sons chance of a better plea deal
Who needs detectives with parents like this. They working a confession harder than the cops.
Rite😂
FACTS!!!! And they got him talking without a lawyer .. I'd never turn my kid over to their care if I could help it .. I'm definitely not gonna just serve my kid up on a platter to pigs. They don't love their son that much and if that's love I'd couldn't imagine how their hate would be.
@@TH-cam_Disciple_YTD_Demonexactly!! No way in hell ima just do their job for them 🤦🏾♂️ get a lawyer and keep it pushing
As they should!!! He chose this life. An the people saying they'll make the cops do their jobs are the problem..an the Same one's that will protest against a cop .but not lil Johnny.. ridiculous
That's because they are decent people
My dad been serving life in prison since 1993 and he tells me all the time these lil young dudes that pretend to be gangstas out in the street, end up committing crimes and getting life in prison almost always cry their self to sleep in prison because now they're scare of reality and they know they're never going home again. Just live a straight life, my dad been preaching this to me since I was 10 years old, told me to never make the same mistakes he made in life which costed him his freedom.
Cost is preferred over costed. Instead of: _which costed him his (double wording) freedom_ Rather write: _which cost his freedom_
Costed still seems to be used in Canada, whereas really everywhere else the word cost is preferred on its own.
Regarding _My dad been serving_ (now at the beginning of your paragraph). Instead write: My Dad is serving. _Been_ is not grammatically correct as it sounds as though you are placing a past tense on a present situation. For instance reading this presently is not: I been reading it! Rather its I am reading it.
However, if you had used the added word of: _My Dad has been serving_ Then this would be reasonable. I agree English is a difficult language to clearly write and speak properly.
There are other issues ie gangsters not gangstas! If you are writing a long paragraph then there's no need to write 'lil'. I mean the paragraph is already long, so lil is out of place, rather use little.
'Preaching' is a religious term. However I understand religion has really stolen a lot of words and made them their own. Preaching by a Preacher would not be a respectful point of your post. As Preachers are generally looked upon as deceivers, since clearly a Preacher would likely know they are lying to the congregation. Here's hoping you aren't religious? Thankfully that's a dying area in America.
Plus being _preached_ to, is not how people learn how to reason effectively. It would have been better if your Dad reasoned with you with allowing open questions. Preaching to you, or laying down the law, doesn't inform you right from wrong. It merely informs you that's what Dad said (or preached!). Clearly someone could preach the exact opposite! Thus preaching cannot help people learn how to reason effectively. We now know being preached to is wrong.
Overall your story was interesting and informative. However it could not be used as a learning aid for children (especially with religious connotations) since we now realize its about acquiring knowledge and effective reasoning skills.
@@kimsland999 thanks brainiac, Harvard future grad, I'll remember that next time. I hope you keep those straight A's in Harvard.
@@TampaAries My entire post was centralized on how to reason effectively.
Learning (be it English or epistemology) is a good thing.
When I was 18 did a 3 day stay in los Angeles county jail and I remember trying so hard to hid the tears in but couldn’t. After that one experience I turned my life around.
@@kimsland999 not you completely missing the point
Nothing kills my spirit more than remembering i've spent half my adult life in prison, while my parents struggled without me for 19 years. Not only did i miss all that time with them, but i didn't even get to say goodbye. I will live with that guilt FOREVER. not worth it young ones. not worth it
I'm so sorry 😢 I'm sorry mostly that for many young people, we make stupid decisions that don't feel stupid at the time. We are invincible! Old people don't know anything. Then the wisdom of years catch up and we truly understand. You served your time. Be kind to yourself now ❤
What made you turn around and are you having a normal live now?
Thank you for sharing these wise words.
I'm sorry you learned them the harder way in this life.
I hope you find peace.
I'm so sorry. I can only imagine how that must feel...
@@christinaeckhart2784right
I know a family of two boys and they were raised by both parents in the home. I was very close to mom and I watched her do everything possible for those boys. She did everything to keep them in positive spaces with good role models and away from negativity. She poured all of her resources into helping them pursue their dreams. One is living a productive life, the other is in prison for robbery and murder. It isn't always the parents. At some point people just make the wrong choices.
I appreciate parents who can support their child yet also not accept their lies.
They should've just got a lawyer
13:54 this says a lot about what his parents were supposed to do when he was younger so now none of them would be in this situation!! Yes, parents didn’t do their part correctly and now they’re trying to make up for years of neglect. Not gonna work.
But he sold them shoes, that is a common thing, kid share and trade shoes.
It blew me away that his dad told him that he was "proud" of him. What the what is that all about? A word or two of kindness, OK, but saying that he's "proud" of him?
@davewinkerson8221 that's exactly why he's sitting in an interrogation room and hopefully going to prison for the rest of his life😊
When the dad said “Son, I can’t take this for you if I could I would” You just know he means every word of it!
Because the father failed him and he knows it
@15HunnetBlockGoon how do you know? It sounds like the father did all he could.This young man thought he wanted to be in them streets until he have to suffer the consequences.
That would be the STUPIDEST thing a father COULD do for his son. That teaches a punk NOTHING but to keep on keepin on the way he is. DUMB
@@15HunnetBlockGoonyou the type to snitch if you get caught up in something.
@@Its_Me_Ms.B. fathers are there to keep men out of jail and women off of stripper poles. The fact he wasn’t tryna get him a lawyer and comply with the detectives says everything. That man wasn’t tryna be there for his son
The ripple effects of this senseless murder. This young man has sentenced the officer's family to years of heartache, not to mention the heartache he has laid upon his parents and own family.
Thug life, Nga!
@@mazystarr🤦♂️
Lifetime of heartache for both families.
Nobody wins.
@@sarahd8093Yep. Its sad all around
Anytime I watch the interrogations of teens and see them saying things like, “I want to go home,” always makes me think, “Why weren’t you at home at the time of the incident?!” Then there would be no interrogation.
This footage needs to be shown to kids in schools and kids who are in juveline detention centers.
Agreed, these are good parents who are trying to find redemption in their son, but not wanting to hear BS
To teach them to call a lawyer?
@@sixthgatebass lol….
No…. (Adults need to learn that first).
Why? So they can all arrogantly make fun of him for crying?
I doubt it would do any good, kids are headstrong and think they know everything, most young people that would see this would say I wouldn't get caught I'd be smarter than this guy.
Kudos to the parents here for not blindly taking their son's side. It's refreshing to see parents that just want honesty and for their son to be straightforward and honest. The situation sucks, but their actions are applauded.
There is no part of this which isn't sad...😢
Sorry for the parents
Applauded. Lol
They're great parents.
They were supportive in him as long as he's honest no matter what and that's parent ❤ I've no problem with the way they act as parents , all kids with good parents can act wrong. I was no teenage angel, I never hurt no one except mabe myself😅
It's crazy how little accountability this kid is willing to take when his parents clearly value it very highly. He had every opportunity to succeed in life with parents like this.
And I hope they aren’t beating themselves up over this. Lil boy wanted to be tough, welp, now you’re in PRISON
No I think the parents were fooled, being told by the police that they will go much easier on him if they can get him to tell the truth. They would have been better off not saying a word and getting an attorney…
idk...parents are simple minded...i don't care if the kid is innocent or guilty, tell your child to shut up and wait for an attorney, not pressure him into confessing lol
The music and his friends did this...
“I was just living the gansta rap lifestyle, and the gun went off by itself eight times.” That boy made one ridiculous and stupid lie one after another.
His parents are doing the detectives job! It’s amazing to see parents trying to hold their child accountable.
Amazing to see a couple of responsible, mature parents working with the police to get their cop-killing kid to tell the truth. How did this kid get so messed up? Probably hanging with all the other kids who don't have such parents.
"Gangsta" culture.
Exactly, they seem so normal and kind and responsible and respectful, imagine ending up with a criminal asshole for a kid
@@216trixiewhole time the “gangsta” in 2023 is Timmy who wants to fit in. off ys
lmfao. You dudes have some crazy ways to rationalize things to fit within your ideology. See someone with good, supportive parents and still can't accept the concept that sometimes kids are bad and do bad things, even with good parents. So, it has to be because of other people with bad parents. It's stupid. I don't care how many people agree, this just proves the absences of logic and the overwhelming desire for people to make things fit within their world view.
@@216trixie It disgusts me to the point that I have no words for it... It would probably just sound like some sort of Lovecraftian screechy gibbering.
The officer, David Crawford, was 46 years old, married with a 24 yr old daughter when he was gunned down by Nicholas Lindsey. He was shot 5 times at close range while reaching for a note pad. Lindsey's lawyer tried to get his confession thrown out, wanted him tried for manslaughter instead of murder and portrayed him as just a 'scared child', all to no avail. All appeals were denied and his life without parole upheld but as an juvenile under 18 his sentenced will be automatically reviewed after serving 25 years. Laws in his state are exceptionally tough to appeal because the victim was an officer. He is fortunate as a juvenile he could not be sentenced to death. 200 officers took part in the manhunt for Lindsey. The murder of David Crawford was a terrible tragedy.
That's awful 😖
senceless
That parent forced confession was a tragedy!
Yes the demise of the officer was a tragedy. It is also a tragedy for this young man that he made this terrible mistake that has ruined his life and caused his family so much pain. There are no winners here period. I'm sending out prayers for everyone involved.
Such a waste
I have so much respect for these parents. How the hell did this dude go down such a dark path with two supportive loving and responsible parents like them raising him?
Look at his eyes. There's something extra going on, like psychopathy. I bet this kid was a horror to parent.
Being a cult member is easier than getting a job. What mom and dad don't know won't hurt them.

Goes to show that not all parents are responsible for their children's rogue actions. Honorable parents.
I hear what you are saying, but parents provide the environment (neighborhood), friends, relatives etc. the hang around, the tv the watch, the music you hear, the parents should be able to control all of that, I did. If the community and relatives and friends influence your kids, it is your fault, we are to be observant.
@kgar5String it's not that black and white. Most of the time, a strict parent makes a sneaky kid, and when they get out, they crash hard because they want to experience everything they missed
@@kgar5Stringit’s not as simple as that. Parents don’t control who their kids are around while they’re at work. My parents were at work, I was hanging with the local crips because the girls liked them and the other guys feared them. By the grace of God, I got away from that but I could’ve easily ended up like this kid. Listen to how they speak about concern for the officer receiving justice. They clearly raised him with good morals
His parents were acting as the district attorney.. At the end of the video his mom and dad were seen high-fiving the detectives and were quoted saying "We Got Him Now".. Lol 🤣
@@kgar5StringI HERE what you saying?

@@ryanbesco8067 Spoken like someone who has no kids. He is a product of his neighborhood, his parents clearly weret in his life and pushed the right narrative to turn hismself in and tell the truth. Much more refreshing than parents teaching their kids to lie and villify the police.
@ryanbesco8067 you can do everything right and still fail.
His parents didn't appear shocked at what he did. If you ask me, they'd probably been on him for his criminal behavior, and he wouldn't listen to them. Kudos to them for making the detectives' interrogation easier!

Bad parenting
@@yannolove1335 You can’t seriously listen to these parents pour their hearts out and think it is a sign of bad parenting. Some children truly do take their own path..I think these parents did the best they could.
50 seconds in and I can tell the parents know he did it. You always know your kids better than they think you know them.
Yeah well, if they truly cared, they should have kept their mouths shut and left it to a lawyer to represent the kid.
@@Pavia1525 They do care. That’s why they did the right thing and pushed him to admit to what he did. Obviously people love their kids differently.

@@Noah_pitoNgl even if my son did that shit I ain’t turning him In
I admit - I'm typically very quick to assume when kids go down a dark path it's the parents fault. After watching this, I need to change my world-views immediately. These parents are good, kind, honest, loving people who care for their son's well being. The fact that their son did what he did for whatever reasons he had, do not reflect on them.
Condolences to the fallen Officers family.
There is only so much parents can do. Children are raised by one village or another, sadly most villages contain at least some visible, and hidden, evil elements. I am convinced that these parents did their very best and worked harder at it than many.
I'd say that, more often that not, bad behavior in children IS due to a lack of parenting or poor parenting, but it is not obviously always the case.
Life is weird I knew kids from good homes who sold drugs to get girls or look cool
if its not this kids parents then its the parents of his friends that influence his behavior. Theres a big problem of violence in the black community that you dont see in lowerclass white, brown, and asian communities. In white appalachian communities theres fights and drug use but its very rare that they shoot a cop at point blank range for no reason. The question is if its culture or genetics.
It's your parents fault for the way you are.
This young man has probably the most caring and loving parents I have seen in these videos. To think he threw his entire life away, to be in a gang, with people that could not give two shits about him-and is leaving behind these two who love him unconditionally. It really breaks my heart to see what these parents are dealing with.
You speak as someone that has went without these things and has empathy.
I feel your pain
He had a distinct advantage over so many other kids and threw it away being stupid. His gang friends aren’t there crying with him.
It's like you're not even watching the same video. They're literally telling him they would help him get away with the murder if they could and he should blame anybody he possibly can to get out of it. Then after he admits it they tell him how proud of him they are. DISGUSTING. No wonder they raised a murderer.
@@davedavidson4548bro, watch the video again. they confronted his lying about not being there, but didn't believe he did it and didn't want him to go down for somebody else. they literally ONLY wanted the truth the entire time. This is fugging refreshing. Sorry you missed the point 👉

@@joeybiden7755 There's nothing tough about using a gun. In fact, it screams loud and clear, 'I know I'm not tough enough without the insurance of a weapon.' 95% of these kids out there with guns would NEVER go toe to toe with the people they shoot. But a gun makes them feel powerful and invincible.
He knows nothing about street life or being a thug. But he's gonna find out in a crash course when he hits prison. They're gonna eat him up. Except he won't suffer alone. His parents will suffer right along with with him everytime he calls home in tears. As sad as that is, another family is missing their loved one, without a son, brother, husband and father.
This is one of those decisions that will have long lasting consequences for both families
This was hard to watch. Every time the father said, "Please son", I teared up. This is such a problem in our community. But, if you walk this path, you have to be ready to face the consequences.
It's a problem because you won't address the actual issues. Stop blaming everyone else. This kids parents failed him. They're very animated here in the police station but they weren't there for him during his life. He was surrounded by drugs, alcohol and violence. Blame the people actually responsible for this travesty so we can actually make changes. Your kids aren't living in squalor and shooting each other because of white supremacy. Your parents did that to you.

When his mom said “no imaginary friends” she knew her son was lying because she never heard the name before. You can tell he had good parents and a good family. This is just another example no matter how many tools you provide your children with you cannot make them use them. He was blessed with amazing parents.
Yeah he did have good parents. It’s true, your kids are their own person. You can do everything right and still they end up a tragedy. Sad for those two.
Children with amazing parents don't want to become gang members.
@StuMarston You don't need be an expert to say that 2+2=4. Common sense is more than enough.
Only it always makes me wonder if your children have a reputation for violent behavior somewhere else. But you as a parent will know not a thing about it.
@StuMarston why you all defending the parents? because you decided you know their character based on just this? lol.
He even lies to his wonderful parents.
These are some of those most GROUNDED, and REALEST parents ive seen. God bless them both.

I’m bawling. My heart breaks for them. 😢
My dad has said something similar to me before about a bad situation. Made me feel so terrible.
You guys are going to serve as therapy for me today. I narrowly escaped a fate that I think I probably deserved years ago. I was trying to be a cool dude and wanted to be a part of a gang almost 30 years ago now. That's crazy to write and read. Anyhow, my buddy and I came up with a brilliant idea to snatch an older woman's purse while she was walking out of the grocery store, and forever traumatize her. I have never told this full story to anyone, because it's saddening -- but necessary to tell. The good part is that solid citizens chased us down until the police came and properly apprehended us.
I'm a black male and had both of my very loving and supportive parents in my life. I had very loving and supportive siblings in my life. Get this: I was a straight-A student, respectful, and a star track and football athlete, but got caught up in a stupid ideology that could have cost me my life. That's pure shitty culture, and lack of self-discipline on my behalf.
I've shed some tears writing this, and I am so very sorry to that woman and her family for what I did and how I impacted an innocent person for no good reason, whatsoever. I'm truly sorry.
However, and almost immediately after the realization of my stupidity, I shifted gears. I turned being a star track and football athlete into a D1 football scholarship, graduated from a top university, learned how to communicate at a high level and turned my experiences into a 6-figure-earning occupation with unlimited growth potential. I now have 3 kids, and take what I've learned very seriously. I don't mince words with my 2 sons, and try to impress upon them the very stark reality of repercussions for their actions. You don't know me, and I don't know you; however, there's a young man out there who NEEDS to read this story and shift gears accordingly.
If you're still here, I truly appreciate your time. Please encourage the youth to think beyond themselves, and to TRY to make good decisions -- Lord knows that even in "adulthood", we're all still working on it.
Cheers
You are a very lucky man to walk away alive. God gave you a second chance and you took it. Some don't learn from their mistakes and take accountability. Peer pressure and mob mentality is a real thing in these groups. It makes it hard to walk away from the "cool" kids. Your children are very fortunate to have you.
Good for you. It’s healthy to share this success so other people can learn and so that you can heal. Bless you
Almost all of us have done something we’re not proud of. But not everyone learns from it. Good on you man don’t beat yourself up.

Stand up people? Are you kidding? They're morons. They should have kept their mouths shut and should have told their son to keep his mouth shut, then get him an attorney.

It’s rare thing in this day and age to see parents doing the right thing…*not* enabling their child’s’ abhorrent behaviors. My ❤ hurts for them.
really shows that some people are just born evil. They sound like such reasonable and nice parents.
As father and former "problem child" it breaks my heart too...
When I was 13y.o. a friend and I went to a private golf club and we stole a couple of golf clubs...
Next day my father saw the golf club in my room and asked me where and how I got it...
He realized about my BS and immediately he took his belt off and I got punished severely while I confessed...
My dad called my friend dad and told him everything.
My friend got a strong dosis of belt too...
Then our dads took us to the private golf club and made us return the items and apologize to the owners.
We felt so low and bad that there is no words to describe that feeling...
Then my dad drove to a bad neighborhood and we stayed out there for a couple of hours observing the chaos...
Then my dad said:
Do you want to end up living like that?
We said NO.
Then they told us:
We will NOT tolerate any kind of criminal behavior and the next time they will kick us out from home to live in an environment like this one...
We were cured.
Now I'm raising my family with the same values.
My son still is a kid (9y.o.) and I'm raising him to be honest and to be accountable for his actions in a hard way.
Thanks dad, you saved me.
I'm what I'm thanks to you.
It's not rare, there a lot of parents out there with integrity. Unfortunately, they should have a lawyer because they are not there to help like people assume they are.

The strength of the mom and dad to not cry or breakdown after hearing their son’s confession is so admirable.
I think whether they cried or not at that point wasn't that significant (I don't see not crying as being better than crying). They had already plead with their son to confess to something that could cause them to not see him for a long time if ever (except possibly briefly on the other side of some plexiglass during prison visits). That whole process had already taken a lot of strength.
He has two loving parents that care about him
@@cynthiadavid5282something about that makes his betrayal and actions so much worse than if they didn’t care. They’re heartbroken.
Because they did 99% of their parenting in front of camera. What parent could ever see their son or daughter convicted of such a heinous crime without emotion? That's not strength as a parent......it's failure.
Glad you said it. I had to raise my son up to age 15 in a terrible area. Kept him busy with sports and stayed on him like glue. They failed somewhere. The fact that he was trying to get into a gang means something was missing at home and/or the parents aren't paying attention. Not saying they are bad people but the ball was dropped somewhere for sure.@@billsikes4007
I'm disgusted with this family. They don't even care that a man is dead.
It’s amazing how supportive and REALISTIC his parents are. I don’t even understand how he went down that path with them in his life.
It happens. Today's youth are scathed.
Having good or even excellent parents is no guarantee of anything, because adolescents still need to figure out how to navigate in the world, and that’s harder to do than most people think. Too many parents I worked with as a psychologist loved to take credit when their children did extremely well, but didn’t feel responsible when their children made really bad choices. These parents are rare in my experience, and I’m glad to see they’re getting such respect in the comments.
Maybe we should stop blaming the parents blindly... Society is a real thing. It has way more influence than ANY home life. Parents can only teach, that can't make them understand or accept it. People make choices, sometimes they make bad ones.
Cuz hes blk
I was honestly thinking the same thing.
Those parents are going through hell. I can't imagine trying to balance your love of a child while knowing he killed someone. The strength of those parents show me that he was raised right, but their son took the wrong path.
True. Not always, but sometimes that's true.
PLOT TWIST:
Mom and Dad shot the officer and framed the son.
He is the middle child, so they figure it won't be a big lost.
Won't Blubber to much about them. They must have given his Lawyer the go ahead to make up that BS story in court about them pressuring him.
I think more young men need to see this video to understand the fact that one moment can change your life forever. Not everyone has parents as supportive as his. Prayers for them.
More fathers need to see the video to realize how important it is for them to be there with and for their families.
c@@cbesthelper404Even with a father. It's not foolproof. Look at Cameron Terrell. He came from a wealthy 2 parent household. He decided to surround himself by the Rollin 90's.
Yes, play it in the class
The kids make decisions that impact their entire life before they are old enough to make decisions for themselves. A kid wouldn't be allowed to sign a contract yet but they can surely make decisions that will impact them more than any contract ever could. Their brains haven't developed yet, they're impressionable and don't consider what happens when they're making these decisions.
Amen

He threw his life away to join a gang. He was 15. Such a shame. It looks like he has good parents and they tried. Sometimes in cases the kid does it to themselves.

I feel so bad for the parents. You can tell by how they acted and what they were saying, they love him more than anything and that they've tried to raise him to be good, be honest and all that. They sat there and tried, using love and being honest, to get him to say anything about it. They just wanted the truth, no matter what. They let him know they love him no matter what. On a way less popular note, to an extent, I feel sorry for this kid. He's 15, his life is somewhere between a kid and a man and thought he had to do something like this, to be accepted as a tough guy, or to prove himself to people who don't even care about him. He's ruined his life, and will finish growing up in a ruthless prison. Don't get me wrong, the action was as despicable as can be and all actions have consequences, good and bad. If you commit such a crime, you have to be punished. He took a man away from his family, the people he loved and worked with.
I agree with you 💯. You can tell these parents raise this kid right and yet he’s influenced by his peers and kids from the neighborhood. Now with that said, they shoulda got a lawyer.
What about the man who was murdered and his family?
Their son is still alive and they can see and talk to him, the police officer is gone to his family forever.
Imagine getting the call that your loved one was shot dead and that’s it, no goodbye, no I love you….

I understand how belonging to a separate tribe feels more important than life itself as a teen. But this behavior takes it too far 🤯
whoooooooooooooo caaaaaaaaaaaaaares
It is part of their culture.
To be honest, I don’t think they can physically help it. Their brains are different from ours and are wired for aggression and anger. They are not able to comprehend consequences for actions and understand that there is a future. They live in the here and now.
lmaooo you're so deluded, have you never been to a black neighborhood?

My heart goes out to mom and dad-it’s rare to see such a real and honest example of love and desperation on camera.
It's absolutely heartbreaking!
Heartbreaking
These parents are way to soft!! Should be being brutally honest with the kid!! It’s not ok son!! You just ruined your life!! I wouldn’t leave my son, but I know my son wouldn’t be running the streets and they might of gotten a better sentence but it was an officer so he was probably cooked anyways. They should of been asking why!!?? Where were they when this p u n k was running the streets. I wonder if his parents really did hold it down for him.. a lot of times these guys go away and are forgotten
@@archergirl8543 who hurt you?
@@wackzingo I’m not hurt I’m honest
I think this video needs to be shown in every elementary and high school throughout the country. Actions have consequences. Condolences to the officers family and parents did all they could. Sad sad sad
Not with the black kid. That would make headlines in today's news 😂 You'd have to have a similar video with a white kid for the predominantly white schools, but I like the idea
Whit what point??
I do no't understand what is the good reason of this video to be showed in MS and HS in all the Country
@marsjam4117 respectfully disagree, I don't think skin color matters. What the lesson is the youth trying to be hard, but when it comes down to it, they're scared and not realizing this until it's too late. Now his life is gone, in addition to the life he took and all of the loved ones affected. This video is a perfect life lesson for every youth in every part of the country.
@@marsjam4117You sound silly
I totally agree the shock factor of this video is important
When the detectives let the parent's conduct the interrogation. Smart move.
Man, his parents are amazing…. So I looked this up because I don’t remember hearing about it… his dad cried in court at the sentencing and apologized to the officers family … now that is a dad. His mom is just as amazing… I feel so bad for the parents… and for him really because he threw his life away… so young to make such life altering decisions that led to an officer’s death
Are you crazy, his parents were scared of receiving 1-3 years for purgery or interference so they sold they’re creation down the River for his entire life
His father was arrested for selling cocaine.
@remcodejong9149 Wow.That surprised me.

What life though? Working fast food or mopping the floors of Walmart? Lack of opportunities is probably what causes people to do these things.
Respect to the parents for holding him accountable. Sad that so many good people (his family and the officers family) are suffering from his terrible decision.
Would u do tht to ur child ? Smfh
Holding him accountable to who?. They aint god. I wouldnt never give my childs LIFE to the state. Wtf?. I dont owe them people nothin. My son will tell ME the truth and then ill be proud he owned it. But i wouldve had a lawyer talkin to them people, not my son.
@@aileengarcia460if you taught your son otherwise and he made the choice to do that it'd be expected to get him a lawyer but to cover up for him with a confession shows maybe where his morals originated.
@@aileengarcia460To human society and what’s right and wrong. You don’t get to admit your murder to just your momma and god and be done with it. With your attitude it’s no wonder people in this community have trouble with accountability.
@@EarthIsNotFlat I ain't part of your community or any black community . I grew up in the Varrio. With Mexicans. And a Mexican parent wouldn't ever do this. Why the f*** would you admit something and give yourself to some people who are essentially your enemy?. That's retarded. Them people don't got no love for you. They ain't gonna admit all the times they put people in jail for nothing . They ain't gonna admit when they beat somebody up illegally....if the justice system wasn't crooked, then it would be a different story but you're giving your child to people who would put you in there illegally if they could . People who are waiting to f*** you over . And then you go with your mama bc she doesn't know any better. I love my mama and my wife too but I'm a grown man, I make the decisions for my family. Why the f*** would I give my son to the system for the rest of his life?...these people are not God. Nobody owes the state the truth or a confession. They're not my judge, God is. I'll ask forgiveness from God and if God tells me to confess, then I will. You've been brainwashed into believing the state is the authority in the world....I ain't gonna turn myself in to a bunch of criminals. That's like me killing a cartel member and then my mama saying you need to go to the cartel and tell them what you did. Why the f*** would I do that?
