I’d like to say this cop is the way a cop should be I salute this cop for acting like he cares about his job and the people he’s dealing with
Most cops do behave like this, but those clips don’t go viral
@@SaminHam 🤔
Mom and Dad are going to kill this kid
@@SaminHam they still are complicit in a corrupt system where shitty cops are allowed to get away with almost anything. It's a club where you either accept the culture or leave, and the few who stay and try to change things will be punished for their arrogance
Oh and if you're that mythical good cop (barring the naive and hopeful fools straight out of the academy) and it becomes known that you reported a fellow officer, well I hope you're ready to deal with all the dead rats in your locker, all the threats, and all the social isolation until you quit
Oh and the other officers almost certainly will find out if you report someone, because for some moronic reason cops just get to investigate themselves
ACAB doesn't mean "every cop is a murderer", it just means every cop is part of a system built on racism and classism, and they're all bastards working with an internal code similar to a gang except the police are even more dangerous because at least gangs 1) don't usually have military equipment, 2) don't have the ability to cover for each other at the same level, 3) don't have qualified immunity, and 4) don't have a significant amount of people making ignorant and narrow minded comments like yours defending them
Sure, I wouldn't be surprised if this cop hasn't broken any laws himself, but if he's been on the force for any period of time it's because he's fallen in line
So, ACAB and 40% cops
@@SaminHam100% agree!
Biggest piece of non-lawyer advice I have for people. Only commit one crime at a time. Got coke, weed meth or heroine? Obey traffic laws. Gonna drive 141 MPH? Leave your weed and gun at home. Getting caught for one is always better than both/all
I used to say that very same thing every time we stopped by the ice cream shop!!
My dad taught me that as well 😂
For a non-lawyer that is excellent advice! 💯 🎯
What I'm dumbfounded by is that peoppe carry firearms to protect themselves from what? Thise who would try to take what they have or harm them. Throw a costume in the mix and a shiny badge. And that reasoning goes out the window.
What I'm about to say has zero to do with the guy being a football player. Who was harmed? Where's the victim? In a free society inorder for a crime to be comitted. A victim must exist. Government cannot be victim because government has no rights.
We live in a police state and people need to wake up to what they suport and to what they are pissing away
Exactly 💯 I always say that you can't do two wrong things at once. Period!
I was in a situation similar to this where I was a student athlete, got pulled over with 3 oz of cheetah piss ( s teir za imo) with one of my friends who didn’t play sports. All of it was mine and I was going to take accountability of my L like a man just like I was raised. Before they asked us to step out and before I could say anything, my friend tells the cop that it’s all was his and none of it was mine unprompted! I was in shock and disgusted with myself that i would let him do this. He told me “just keep playing ball u got a future” while they put the cuffs on him. The cops eventually took him off and told me to go straight to my apartment. I did and I went and pulled out my last 1500 in my savings and bonded him out. Needless to say he’s been my best friend for The past 10 years and I still cry thinking about it sometimes😂 the loyalty he showed me would never be forgotten!
What charge they git him with? How much time he get of any?
Lol at cheetah piss I don’t know why that was so funny
@@travelbizz920 he was sentenced to 18 months but I believe he paroled out at 6 or 8
@@Quillyloaded we still joke about how much we miss that cheetah piss lol best weed I’ve ever smoked to this day
Sure you did, cool story bro
Can we all agree that we love to see a full video of Bruce Rivers in court being a lawyer?
I'm not sure he'd like that. At the moment he can spin his image and control the whole narrative around how he is in court.
No
He would never do that
Never do illegal things when you're doing illegal things.
Best comment I’ve ever seen!😂
It’s “don’t commit a misdemeanor while committing a felony” and “if the cars dirty, the plates got be clean (and insured)”
There's so many laws, that's practically impossible.
Absolutely 💯
You commit like 6 felonies a day lol
Thank you so much Bruce much appreciated. My grandson graduates high school today he has 11 football scholarship offers. I have emailed him this video so that he is fully informed and put on notice of his responsibilities to his own future and that his success depends on his ability to make the right decisions. God bless and a big shout out to Michael Rivers for always producing great content?
“If it weren’t for drugs, alcohol and poor decisions, I’d have no business whatsoever” - Blicky Bruce
We need a statue of him erected, with that carved into the base.
Classic Bruce! 😂
🤣
Someone gave me this but you deserve it more now, so take it and leave 🏆
This makes me feel like we need new merch!
The tragedy is that this young guy knew better. Now he knows his life is basically wrecked. From the University to being a potential NFL prospect. Fleeing from the cops, the weed and the gun, 1 is bad but all 3 are really bad. Just a reminder to be mindful of who you chose to associate with. As his "friend" just threw him under the bus with both hands.
None of us know who the gun and weed belong to accept those two young men. One of those two guys was much easier to be sympathetic towards but still just speculation on who that stuff belong to. And frankly if this kid has real NFL talent a school will take a chance on him followed by a pro team. He's definitely learned a lesson either way.
You cant fool mother nature.
Do the NFL / USA really care about petty crimes like that? You guys sound soft as fuck lmao.
he’s stupid like why give that all up lol like bro could’ve had millions
Idk. I actually don’t think his life is ruined yet. It doesn’t appear he was charged with any driving charge. Shockingly intent to sell in Florida is only up to 12 months in jail max and I think they said the firearm belong to his friend. I could be missing a bunch of information but this is just my half ass research out of curiosity about your comment.
9:06 - I concur, good police work. Calm, collected, confident, controlled.
I forwarded this vid to my 17 year old grandson who wants to pursue his dream of playing soccer at the college level. He was recently awarded the African American High School Achievement ( very high grades) in our county. Thanks Bruce and Mike for being a fantastic conduit to teach our young men and women to “BUILD ON IT.”
“African American Achievement Award” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bruce is so brilliant, he's fair minded, real and gives sensible advice. He's got the only channel where l watch the, ''This video is brought to you by .....'', because he can even make that sound interesting.
Preach away!! Kids don't believe or listen to parents. I told my daughter to learn from my mistakes and she told me she wanted to learn by making mistakes. Now she tells her children to listen to me because I was right. Teen and early 20's are a hair pulling time. I appreciate you telling it like it is!! Thanks to both of you!
My nephew is a county cop. He has a similar type of attitude towards the world. You can't read him. He is always this calm guy no matter what is happening. It could be a tragedy with death and destruction, he will be calm, collected. It could be the birth of his first child, happiest day ever, he would be calm and collected. This is the same person who as a kid growing up, his mom had to pick him up from a sleep-over cause his friend had a green toilet and could not use it. He thought it was weird. good video.
This made me audibly laugh
Avocado bathroom lol
Hope he never reads this comment! 😂
Life lessons are the hardest part of growing up. I repeatedly told my children what my parents preached to me. Every choice you’ve ever made has brought you to this exact moment in your life. Choices matter, even the smallest ones have consequences. Kudos to these officers for being so professional and compassionate, we need more like them. Prayers to Tony Mitchell, I hope he can continue with his career goals.
Yes your right here king that nice
Honestly, Tony Mitchell fucked up here, but hopefully this is just a big slap of reality and he can recover from this incident and be better for it.
Man I used to hate my parents’ teachings and stuff. But then I moved out and living alone with no-one to look after you, I did what they did really quick cuz it was the only way I knew how. And the stuff they did worked and what they taught me started to make sense. So ❤❤❤❤
@@catnip202xch.There’s a saying. The older you get, the smarter your parents get.
Similar to what I say, "life is a series of choices".
Thanks again Bruce for helping out young men and their decision making. You have a lot of influence on young people. Michael, you've probably heard those speeches growing up, because you have a great father.
We NEED ALL cops/officers to LEARN & BECOME EXACTLY LIKE this cop/officer!!!! We NEED MORE JUST LIKE HIM!!!!
The cops were calm because he was calm.
Perhaps you should look up what happened to Constable Darrel Lunsford before opining such nonsense.Under certain circumstances police can afford to act like this officer did,but bad things can happen when an officer isn't being as vigilant as is necessary......
You lead the way. This country needs police like you.
This cop is harassing people on tax payer funded roads and ruining peoples lives over possessing plants and exercising their 2A and you think we need more like him?
Well that was painful. I hope this kid still has a shot. Thank you Bruce for spreading the wisdom to young punks and old punks everywhere.
I don't.
Someone who can turn on and off the waterworks the way he did?
He's not sorry; He's calling you stupid with his tears.
@Jacob Rose you’re 💯 correct! And I’ll add this selfish, low IQ, cowardly PUNK didnt give a rats azz about driving that fast and risking innocent peoples lives. He could have killed someone.
That would mean someone more deserving wouldn't get a shot
Yeah I gotta say though, if it really was his friends weed that's a pretty shitty friend. I used to do all sorts of dumb stuff involving drugs and I have no doubt that we wouldn't try to pin what was our drugs on someone else. What's your's is your's, just gotta take the hit for it and hope for the best.
I remember that feeling of taking a risk to be cool and tough and then immediately the worst thing going wrong. Thing is, you just swallow your pride and admit you’re not a career criminal, and you do that YOUNG. Then life starts to open up for you. It’s way better than risking your freedom like this.
To be proud of being a career criminal is loser mentality anyway. They just pretend to be cool because they have nothing showing for them as a human being.
i hate to see these young men who have a path to create something great for themselves but get caught up with foolish people
Thier foolish too
You are the company you keep.
Uh, he was one of the foolish people in the car.
Don't matter what I'm watching, when that CLR notification hits, I'm switching. We love you Bruce ❤
Bruce is for the people ✨👌🏿
@Sierran Nomad me too! Bruce Rivers for President!
I like how you talked about law enforcement officers being respectful and professional, but also stating that sometimes an elevated amount of aggression could be "called for". I agree.
“Can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.” Such a simple motto to go by, yet so easily broken by those who don’t think about how easily their life can be fucked over
Awesome job for giving credit to the officer Bruce. So many off-balance media channels/spokespersons love to highlight bad LE work, and never credit good police work. Both exist. Bad police work should be exposed, but good work and good officers should be commended and upheld as examples.
There’s nothing worse than the feeling you get when after being pulled over, you see another pd cruiser pull up to your stop 😭
I know right
👍🏾😂🤦🏾♀️
Got pulled over once and had another cop pull out the street in front of me and stop. I figured they had the wrong person or I did something really bad and didn't realize it. It was getting dark and I didn't have my lights turned on going down a well lit boulevard. I didn't even realize it. She gave me a warning, but I never figured out why they had 2 cars
@@rhino202sometimes they just show support to one another or just be bored! It doesn’t mean anything, it happened to me plenty of times!
This vid is full of wisdom. Many kids have no Dad influence. It is guidance like this, that kept me on a good path. Much thanks.

Thanks Bruce. I think your videos are educational as is your advice. I was a police officer in the UK for 6 years and although the legislation is a bit different the basic crime offences are pretty similar. Thank you for your advice and you are not preaching, you are giving good advice.
I absolutely love your content and words of wisdom. You have a unique channel that’s different than other crime/reaction videos that I’ve seen, and hoping it continues to grow for you!
Passenger's demeanor was just too cool and rehearsed. He's been here b efore.
Yep
unless he admits it's his stuff the driver and owner of the car is responsible.. No way he didn't know that stuff was in his car given there were drugs in his shoes that's why the officers asked him who's shoes were in the trunk
Or high af
@@sharonrigs7999 Well, there's that
Thank you for preaching to our young people Mr Bruce. You never know when taking a minute to share with young people can make all the difference in someone's life. I am thoroughly enjoying your and your son's content. Keep it real and keep it coming gentlemen.
Go ahead and preach. This is the time to preach! this is a perfect video for young people to watch and see what can happen. No matter how many converts you make there will always be plenty of business for a criminal lawyer!
Talk about calm... the cop asked him if there was weed in the car and he reached for it. So often I see officers holler "Stop reaching! STOP REACHING!!!!""
You make me smile. I really enjoy your way of explaining stuff and your sense of humour. Thank you. 👍🏼
Bruce! Love the channel! Love the play by play and education in what is going on.. Hopefully we never end up in this situation but thank you for taking the time to educate.
Bruce thanks for caring for our community by providing this valuable content.
Ive watched to the end and I really do like this cop also. More cops should strive to be like this. Lots of people distrust cops. And cops shouldn’t be mad at the community they should be mad at the bad cops who make them look terrible.
That's what makes the police profession so interesting to me. Like, if a doctor was doing something wrong or committing malpractice, there aren't thousands of other doctors coming out to defend them. If anything, other doctors would scold that one doctor for making their profession look terrible. But everytime there's a police brutality case or anything borderline malfeasance occurring, every cop on social media has to jump in and say that they were within their rights to do so.
I'm sorry for the kid but the coach is right he put himself in this situation.
I’m not sorry for the kid and I agree with the coach being right.
I agree with @@rickjames4031. I would feel sorry for his parents if they're good parents but I highly doubt his parents are saints themselves.
@@eddypuentes6155Why you doubt that
@@jamalprice9339 why wouldn't you? Do you honestly believe that good parents would end up with this precious ✌ of soot for a son? Do you? I certainly don't. It's pretty rare for kids that belong to good parents to turn out rotten.
@@eddypuentes6155 stfu😂 u def dont have kids. Kids give. 2 faces
Kudos to the officer. His professionalism was onpoint
“ You are what the people around you are “
Ain’t a word wrong here. Love this channel !!
As a mom, I feel so worried about peer pressure. All I can hope is I raise my children to never go too far. What a great officer. I hope this young man makes a real change.
As some one that has done time I have had a few cops cut me loose simply because I was cool and calm with them. They even said that's why I was getting cut loose. And a few times it was after I had been locked up and they still just let we walk. So not all cops are out to get you if you are just calm and let them do there job
Not only did I download this video, I forwarded it to my sons and grandsons! Thank you! 💯💯💯
I'vb only recently discovered Bruce's excellent channel. It's wonderful to see such honesty - and compassion in action. 🙂
No wonder Mitchell wanted to evade the cops. He was a five-star prospect rated the 34th-best player and No. 3 safety in the 247Composite rankings
Man, If that was my friend and we were close, I probably would have ate those charges... But then again I dont have friends who'd I put in that situation nor would they put me in that situation.
@@HuskyTheDog2202you mean the football player, right? Cuz I thought he was the one lying & blaming it on the guy in the passenger side. If so he’s 👎🏾
@@Lynnleemattos they pulled the marijuana from the passenger side, then handed it to the police. The pills in his shoes seems a little suspect, though. Still his friend should have caught the case to help him out for possible future renumeration.
Wow...
@@markbrown8097 You'd think so. His "friend" did not have a long term strategy in mind. He could have copped to all of it, & with a good attorney they could have pled him down and he'd have a friend for life in Mitchell plus seating for every game in the VIP box.
The best thing about your videos is hard to pick. You tell a great story and add a lot of lessons along with teaching. I love watching your videos.
I almost got myself in a big pickle related to vehicles around 20.. lucky to get away without serious consequences. Two years on those lessons make me a better man today
@Bruce Rivers I completely agree with you about this officer's demeanor. He remains calm and is respectful. 😊 I'm in Aurora, Colorado and I'll tell you that we are in desperate need of more officers like him. I've heard many stories about what you said, 'Get out of the fucking car now!' etc.
As a diehard Alabama fan and former cop this video of freshman Tony Mitchell breaks my heart for the gollowings: (1) He has a full ride schlorship to Alabama, (2) I reviewed football film on him several months ago and he had the potential to be a starter and play in the NFL, (3) It breaks my heart because he made the wrong decision prior to getting stopped by the police, (4) Lastly Coach Saban always preaches to his players to always make goid decisions that will add value to yourself. Tony failed to do that, and it will probably cost him an opportunity to play at Alabama.
It was announced that he is back at Alabama trying to get back on the team. His suspension is up
Every college athletic program should adopt this video and show it to all their recruits. Repeatedly.
Sneaky, but I like it.
That was an extra good video Bruce. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and analyses.
“That is not a position of strength right there.” True words!
Update!!!!
He plead guilty for 3 years of probation and was officially reinstated to Alabama! He got a second chance that hopefully he takes advantage of!
He gives more props to the one cop. Just break down the wrong and right thing to do.
It’s sad 😢 this will make a lot sit up and take notice now I hope! This cop is how he should be as you say ♥️🏴
Some of the best advice I got from my dad when I was a kid was him telling me “you are who you hang around”. It’s so true!
I’m really glad Bruce calls out the good police work here. We’ve seen some horrendous police work on this channel, so the duality is interesting.
"If you run with the dogs, you're gonna get fleas."
❤️Love ya babe. Keep preaching! As a recovering person who made less than wise decisions.... preach!
I really appreciate how chill this cop is, he did a really good job
This cop is so cool because these guys complied! Usually there is resistance and then all hell breaks loose!
He literally sent them on a 140mph chase 😭😭
Nah, the cop is so cool because he just has the deportment necessary to be an effective law enforcement officer.
I love this guy. Outstanding. Just tells you straight up. What you are about lose. From your actions .
Still loving this channel . Every video is entertaining and educational.
LOL Jheeze Brucey loves this cop more than michael 😂
I get that the line “If you’re honest with me I’m going to work with you,” but I’ve actually gotten out of some serious trouble with the Police by telling them a story that makes sense.
So it turns out his “friend” WAS the one with the drugs + firearm. Mitchell only got probation & community service. He was reinstated to the team a few months after this. Happy ending!!
The day I started carrying a gun I stopped carrying weed in my car and I started driving more carefully.
I have no sympathy for this football player. It's not he had a couple of joints. A pound of weed, $7K cash and a loaded firarm. Dude is a freakin drug dealer. Not to mention going 140 mph...he well could have killed someone. All the tears and pleadings....like my grandma used to say, "If you can't do the time don't do the crime." Amen
Poor guy just threw his whole life in a trash can
This kinda thing really makes me wanna cry. Young brother had an opportunity to change his life and the ones around him for the better but no that street life is too alluring. I pray this gets resolved and he learns his lesson. Keep ya head up young brother
4:20 That’s the “I’m gonna have to go juco for a couple years” face
Juco's the Rip Tide!
420 annd a video about weed..funny
I love the esign commercials 😂😂😂
Friends can save you, or sink you. Be careful who you surround yourself with.
Your absolutely preaching..And I love it. Let the young guns know! Wish I had your vids, info and preachy wisdom when I was younger Lol. I appreciate you and I'm sure millions of others do too. Thanks!
Heart breaking. Should be mandatory viewing for teens. Diane Sawyer asked a woman in prison what she wished young people understood. Her response, “Sometimes you do something for which you don’t get a second chance.” I sincerely hope he has a future, but it won’t be the future he had planned.
Update: slap on wrist 🙄
“On May 24, Mitchell was placed on probation for three years. He paid $1,560, will serve 100 hours of community service and will reportedly receive drug counseling as well. On June 1, Mitchell was cleared to return to football activities”
Thats not just any football program its Alabama, they hold a lot of sway.
The Player snitched on his friend, his friend returned the Favor.. safe to say they were never friends and shouldn't be together in the first place.
Business associates getting caught getting ready to do business.
So close to 1 million subs! Love your content.
Bruce is right when you’re riding dirty you do NOT draw attention to yourself. Drive the speed limit and drive sober and careful.
Or don't ride dirty. Far better option.
Awe Bruce,,, we care about you too!!! I'm loving the newer content with content genius M. Rivers on both sides of the camera!!! I don't know my dad so I live vicariously thru u guys!!! Lol
TBH, I’m just waiting with baited breath for Bruce to fall down the Chili DeCastro rabbit hole. Every time a notification pops up, I’m asking, “did he discover Chili yet?”😅
Chili's supposed to be a
As Jim Carey said in the movie Lawyer Lawyer…
“ Stop breaking the law !!!!”
Freakin hilarious. The dead body thing made me laugh
Bruce really said fuck around and find out LMAO
I am really impressed, i assume you are a busy man as a defense attorney, still you and Michael give us so reguarly intersting Videos. Thanks for that and Greetz from Germany.
There is no way he makes videos this regularly if he’s still actively practicing law.
@@slimdiddyd you realize you can literally call him to defend you right? Like he talks about it at the beginning of every video? Are you dumb?
@@slimdiddyd well, there ist a recent Video where he shows his ofice, i think he still practicing
I am glad this young guy is Alive to learn this LESDON about "The COMPANY YOU KEEP". Always try to pick friends that have attributes THAT YOU ASPIRE TO.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Prayers out for him and the passengers 🕊️
Prayers out for those officers 🕊️
Even in Alabama and Florida as long as it ain't huge amounts they usually just give you ticket let you go
He has a second chance with University of Alabama, with him being reinstated into the team. He should take this as a wake-up call and find better friends.
The boys in big trouble
Preach away - love it. You’re such a good dad guy lawyer dude❤
“Now that is not a position of strength right there.” - Bruce Rivers
An expensive lesson for him, but he learned a valuable lesson about people and "firends".
I’m from Alabama. I’m a big Crimson Tide fan and even though that was hard to watch, and I do feel for him, I can’t help but feel like there are way too many football & basketball players who ruin a fantastic life and career due to doing stupid things. It’s a shame but they knew better.
I’m from Tuscaloosa & I don’t feel bad for him. Not because I’m cold & heartless but the UA has so much to offer to the athletes on campus to keep them out of trouble. Even when I met Jalen Hurts he didn’t do much but go to the grocery store.
@@mustanggang5.0 yes
I dont feel bad for him at all. The recent murder that occurred, involving A player from the basketball team, and the " star " player delivering the murder weapon, I feel zero sympathy for him. Meaning , keep your head down and stay out of trouble....
When enough people tell you that you are amazing, fantastic and you even get away with stuff non-athletes don't, eventually it warps the ego
@@jonmeans2637 thought the guy was bringing the guy something, and didn't know the gun was in his car. And this situation is completely different than the one you're talking about.
I’m going to name my first born ‘Idemandmyattorney’. That way detectives will have to stfu after he or she answers their first question😂
You know what's probably scarier than getting pulled over and all this stuff is when his mamma finds out!!! 😳 She gonna smack him up one side and down the other while she read him her own riot act, then his granny gonna join in, take her slipper off and smack him around some more!!! Smdh!!!
Yep
I found chanel few weeks ago and have been binge watching/listening ever since. I am not from US but I remember in my dreams that e-forms and e-sign are saviors 😅
I bet that cop was getting super nervous with him reaching around in a dark car
The kid could've been shot for reaching!
All the way from Australia 🇦🇺. Fav channel!
Get this man to 1 million
26:50 coach is 💯 !! These kids need to adhere to his wise words & for that matter Bruce to, could save yourself a lifetime just by listening & taking on board what’s being said.
