Thanks for sharing that, dude. I needed that today.

People on the streets with the least to give have been some of the kindest, most generous people I have ever met.

That's so heartwarming, thank you :)

You’re Stronger Than You Think. Keep Going. God Bless ♥️♥️

Yep, for each annoying, agressive or ungrateful bum there's one with a golden heart and iron personality. They're just like everybody else. There's shitbags and beautiful people - it's just that these guys usually don't have their appearence speaking in their favor if they've been on the streets for too long.

Ant facts bruh

That made me not like this guy. He's just locking away the small guys, thats not fixing the issue!

Yeah, especially knowing he was trying to commit suicide over the deception.

@@coliedeekenzo This is exactly why he quit his job in the end

I wish he haven't said that!!!.....

Nice guy doing his job ... if an under cover cop was around me .. it would have to be woody 🤦‍♂️🤔👍

😂😂😂😂

@Jason Prendergast imagine having *this* level of conviction based entirely on stereotype profiling of what *you* believe to be the *look* of a crack head. But yeah, I bet he had to hit it occasionally to legitimize himself

@Jason Prendergast but you just literally confirmed what I said? You’re projecting your experience of what you stereotype the “look” of a crackhead is. Ty for confirming

@Jason Prendergast I’m just going to leave this here. “Stereotype: a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing” Do better.

Many cops admit it. That's not the problem. The problem is they continue to do it even knowing how cruel they are. They enjoy the cruelty.

Why he is no longer an officer most likely

You know there’s a difference from a cop and a undercover cop? There’s a difference of what they do.

Commenting on the "enjoy the cruelty" comment....he mentioned that he enjoyed the work and was interested by the manipulation and lying as an intellectual exercise. I would say, addiction is a full time job where lying and manipulation take center stage. What I find interesting is that he enjoyed those aspects without the potential reward of getting high being the end result of those actions. The lying and manipulation will eventually begin to wane on the addict. If not while using, definitely after getting clean. In the throws of addiction the chaos is part of the high and the whole experience. The getting away with something aspect of it. This guy is not so unlike an addict in some regard. Similar actions for a different reward. Shooting dope without a needle. Sounds like it did begin to wane on him, however. It's people with backgrounds like this guy's who should be making drug policy...not politicians.

@@finitesound its not necessarily cruelty, its ego

DJiMMa I know they sometimes have to do it to keep there cover. These guys are very clever.

You'd be shot in the head if you refused gotta stay in character at all times

Shane Ryan Who in the world would ever shoot someone for refusing to do a drug lmao. Many drug dealers don’t even do the drugs themselves lol

@@kodirome3859 If you have been selling heroin to someone that claims to be a user for months and they refuse to do heroin, then they obviously aren't a user. Offer a junkie 5 quid worth of heroin for free if they take it in front of you and the will ALL say "yes". That is how addiction works, lol.

@@liam9214 lmfao dude has a book that says he did crack

Good job proud of you!

19 times?

Yes unfortunately I've been in and out 19 times. Only 8 arrests with new charges. but I'd get bail and miss my court date, so I'd get picked up and sent back to jail, just to get bailed out again! So I've have tons of bench warrants that would keep sending me back. I'd be in jail for 24hours to 7months at a time. So not 19 long sentences, but 19x back and forth SMH

👏👏👏

Congratulations 🙏 it’s never easy to get out of the hole but it’s always worth it

I have no idea how you came to that conclusion. The guy clearly has a huge conscience, and he said that his greatest strength was his empathy. He lied and manipulated people as part of his job, not for personal gain. A sociopath would lie instinctively and only to benefit themselves. Sociopaths are often described as hot-headed, this guy is the exact opposite of that. He wasn't impulsive, he didn't break rules, and he was very good at getting on with others. He made long term plans, something sociopaths struggle to do. He had a strong sense of self-preservation, again, not something that a sociopath would have. I literally cannot think of a worse job for a sociopath than an undercover police officer.

@@1815matt what would be the best job for a sociopath?

@@erikaserikas8239 a boxer

@@erikaserikas8239 Human Resources Manager

@@1815matt well, he did mention enjoying manipulating people and the intellectual exercise of maintaining a lie. this would at least be some machiavellian tendencies in place.

@@catalyzerr he basically used those people as rungs on his career ladder. I think this tells us all we need to know about law enforcement's view of vulnerable people. They see them as fair game, disposable currency, once they use drugs.

Do you write for the Boosh?

I peed a little

Hahaha lol.

Technically, he preyed on the weak, to get access to the people hidden in the back, that were preying on a lot more weak people in a lot worse ways. Trying to get the people who are behind it, is not really "preying on the weak". He used them to do what he thought was for the better of everyone. They did it because it was better for themselves. There's enough to dislike about cops, but calling them more selfish than the drug-dealers that prey on people each day is a bit far away from reality.

@@liquidminds Very well said

@@liquidminds I've seen the devastation left behind after undercover police ops. Low level no bodies literally getting their lives ruined because they "helped out" an undercover pig. Listen to the latter half of this video - the cop even admits that all his work was fruitless. The war on drugs as it stands is not fit for purpose and it continually punishes the weak and vulnerable. The changes he proposes at the end are the same echoed by drug treatment services across the globe. Don't kid yourself about the current war on drugs" model. Top dogs remain untouched.

@@tintintb1980 dont get into it then

@@flamemojis One of the most ignorant comments I've read in while. Congrats.

Hes the fucking devil

I can’t tell he regrets it at all. Did I miss something? Him simply recounting it is all I saw. Sounded like a sociopath

Hahahaha.

Maybe it's Mr Dilkington

So true, ah Northerners😊

Graham??

It ain’t right it sounds about white

Danielle Spargo It’s common fucking sense and the only way forward. But the government is too corrupt. They don’t care.

Democrats are cunts No one is listening to you, dipshit. We hear you, but no one is listening.

Switzerland was the first country to try this approach. There was an incredible drug problem in the 90'. Nowadays you really have to go searching to find human relics of that time. Switzerland and Portugal have shown that it can be done. There is an effective and better way to handle this problem once and for all.

Democrats are cunts: Unless you're putting everyone of them in jail for life, continuing to jail them & not treat them makes absolutely no sense @ all. However, they know the majority of people feel the way you do. So they keep jailing them & releasing them because they know they will go right back to using. As long as they're using, the cycle will continue. They want the cycle to continue because the Gov. really don't want or can't afford for crime to go down much. They want to control it so they can play with people's minds when they reduce crime by the very small % they feel will make a difference in individual's minds like yours, but not enough to affect America's economy.. If you really take the time & do your research, you will come to understand how crime is America's cash cow.!! There are very few careers where crime hasn't had a hand in making sure that career continues to grow. If you cut crime too much, it will affect America's economy. Crime creates jobs, jobs generate taxes, taxes is revenue, revenue is distributed to elected officials. .!!

You agree with everything he said for the first 10 seconds. smh

And also risk getting caught and dead in an alley if you mess up

Idk what the hell they do in the police department anyway

That’s movie stuff, read the DOJ guidelines on undercover work. Doing drugs or committing or allowing crime in your presence is a termination or could result in charges yourself.

@@liam9214 I dont see how a narc could work undercover w/o allowing/ doing your aforementioned things. I don't think they'd last long.

kof2002kof many undercovers are sociopaths. It’s their line of work.

@@JaredG6 yup

UK police at least cannot use that tactic of entrapment. I always found it pretty crazy how US cops can go out and pose as dealers selling single deals to random strangers or pose as prostitutes and the evidence be admissible. Entrapment laws are a good thing in a society so the cops can't do things like that.

@@Stigstigster In the US, cases have been thrown out due to entrapment since the early 1900s. Undercover cops are used to go after suppliers, not buyers.

I love you for this comment.

And they make too much money off it

Profit would also drop by 75%. Sadly, that idea is considered utopian because money is valued more than human life.

Democrats are cunts Your logic makes no sense. Vehicular accidents would go up how? People who use illegal drugs can still get high and drive. Also people who take prescribed drugs can get affected to a point where they cause an accident. Drunk driving and texting while driving is statistically the higher cause of car accidents and/or vehicular homicide. You should stop getting your information and logic from social media.

@Democrats are cunts It wont. Look at The Netherlands. They are closing prisons.

Democrats are cunts Sadly your feelings aren't supported by fact. Countries that already legalized drugs showed that it works.

I think he does feel bad, he's just not asking for forgiveness. He's letting us judge him.

Kevin Mathewson take it from me, it comes from a lack of shame and a sense of self righteousness. He doesn’t care if you judge. He didn’t even fully answer the question about remorse or feeling bad.

I agree that he is not ashamed. I don't think he is self-righteous. If he were, he would describe the people he put away in harsher terms. He portrays them in a sympathetic light.

Kevin Mathewson you don’t get it. He doesn’t care about the people he puts away. A total disregard for people in general actually.

Disá Rabberi Not fucking true at all. Did you not hear him talking about the guy who ended up on suicide watch, he understands it was because of his actions and is showing empathy. And you can’t conclusively judge this guys character on this short video that’s probably edited down to the most interesting things he had to say. It’s also noteworthy that most people get some enjoyment from lying and manipulating, most of the time it’s relatively harmless but this guy had to find a way to enjoy his difficult work and I’m not at all surprised that’s an area of his work he enjoyed, it’s both dangerous and exciting.

Yeah but majority of these things are just made up like everything else really ain't they

@@janelle009 Well, here's to hoping he is in fact a paid actor because I believe the implication he's implying is a possible revenge killing(even though the odds of it are low) should they see this, and they won't care if he's retired or not.

CB if you do the smallest amount of research yoy will find that he is NOT an actor and that is actually him.

@@janelle009 Retired or not. A pissed off person, specially an ex con can literally find anyone if they are mad enough & try hard enough. Dude has balls to do this.

Same. Imagine befriending someone and trusting them with all your heart, only to find out later that they betrayed you (especially because they’re a cop and all that was fake) 😭

Check out Michael Franzese talking to Joe Pistone aka Donnie Brasco

I'm with you on that. He explained probably the thoughts and actions of a great number of policemen, and showed how poorly managed their relationship with drug crime really is just because he let go of trying to make it seem like he was right and truly just laid it out bare. There was no excuse for his actions, simply just him explaining his feelings and where he came to be and what he thinks now that it's all over. Although It's sad to hear about this and know so many others do exactly what he's done with little to no remorse.

? Who are the witnesses? What bonding are you talking about? Are you saying vice talking to these cops is cruel? Or that the cop manipulating the civies is cruel?

Yes it is.

don't legalize all drugs are you mad. do you know what some drugs do to people not just the people who use them but the people who could get hurt by the users who may have gone insane

Yeah he's honest now i think he realized at that moment that he is not a good person

We live in a society

it really is

Don’t be weak and you won’t be manipulated

He was out to manipulate criminals involved in the drug trade.

He knew he was manipulating criminals. Imagine you were undercover and had to manipulate people who had murdered a relative to find out about who did it, one step at a time. Little victories for justice.

Murder and rape too

@Dran Drey hes mocking the idiot that is saying legalize all drugs

@Dran Drey no, marjiuana yes but others nope absoloutly not the only people that think that, are drug addict junkies

I would imagine!

Clearly not as his accent is from the Midlands.

stephano malakay so you want them to avoid the law and keep providing gangs money to re invest so more people can get addicted

They shouldn't be in prison, it's a harmless offense, they are addicts because they are uneducated and poor, that's not their fault.

He put a lot of nasty murdering gangsters away too. Read his book

stephano malakay most people are put in prison for intent to sell, they wanted to manipulate other addicts for capital knowing full well the life destroying effects of the drugs they are attempting to sell. That’s what makes them bad. They became poor because they are addicts, they didn’t become addicts because they are poor.

Ty Crayne I’m not sure how it works with other drugs, but for weed you get an “intent to distribute” charge with mid to large quantities. Doesn’t mean they’re actually selling drugs, I suppose
