That was so sick and twisted, my jaw dropped

Only 6 years ago. Still so much misogyny.

@@2007cgarza - it reminds me of the good old days where if a rape victim didn’t fight then it wasn’t pursued.

So true. Loved ones should never give police these kinds of details. ... including past mental health issues as well. Remember the case of Elisa Lam? As soon as her mother told investigators that she suffered from bipolar .... they basically stopped looking for her. At that point they decided she probably either ran away and didn't want to be found or that she committed suicide of her own volition and therefore it was not a priority to search for her anymore. These kinds of idiot cops are infuriating.

Qualified professionals would hesitate to make those types of assumptions like that. They had zero evidence behind that claim. And no right to say that to her family. Though I am not surprised I'm definitely disgusted. They deserved to be charged investigated and when they are found guilty they should be stripped of all accolades and any authority for the rest of their natural lives.

Truly terrible. These little sherlock holmes wanted to appear so smart yet they was useless as bag of sand

They must have been trained at the Chief Wiggum Academy.

@@bthomson A perfectly expressed rating of @Noel Star's comment that's brilliant It's's on par and in the same style of Dr Grande's funny statements over this police dept." Bet Todd wishes he'd had said this."You know you’re terrible at policing when the perpetrator tries to convince you it really happened"

I think the old saying "trust your gut" *usually* works for detectives. I'm sure in a solid majority of cases they use their experience and knowledge to look at the evidence and have a strong feeling for what happened in a case. Problem is putting TOO much stock into that gut feeling without exploring alternatives is something they sometimes do, which happened here. I suspect the fact that the spouse or boyfriend is usually the person responsible for a disappearance weighed very heavily. I get looking into Aaron here, but that despite zero evidence he did it and so much evidence he was telling the truth, it in inexcusable what they did to him. I think the police made up the hoax theory after that purely because they didn't want to admit how bad they screwed up, to save face.

Which they do all the time unfortunately. This is why we need a separate entity to audit and investigate the police

@@brad7566 Seriously, the whole idea of Internal Affairs (the police investigating themselves) is like implementing regulations on oil and gas companies, but instead of having an outside agency enforce the law, telling those companies to enforce the laws internally. The real world doesn't work that way.

Once they have made up their minds, they almost always ignore evidence to the contrary.

Why not? Are you afraid that the wicked witch’s ice cream is melting? Maybe it’s just a bad day all around and the flying monkeys are melting too! Lol 🤔😜

Police are not trained enough. Also, there needs to be a screening where not just anyone can be a cop. Perhaps start with a three or four year degree.

Ice cream policeman: "Sir, you want strawberry flavor!" Customer: "No, actually I..." ICP: "I said, YOU WANT STRAWBERRY FLAVOR! Don't try to fool me!" C: "But I'm allergic to strawberries." ICP: "Listen, your backstory makes you all the more suspicious. Now admit that you'll have strawberry flavor!" Strawberry ice cream: "um...actually, I would rather not have him eat me, because he really is allergic!" ICP: "SCAM! You just want to confuse me in order to get away with the ice cream without paying!"

@@elanahammer1076 ☘️ What a stupid, childish remark..🙄

@@stellamaris5405 which comment are you referring to?

I hope JSC makes a video on the interrogation to show how to tell if someone is telling to truth.

Courses in trauma are not needed to know that a victim isn't eager to experience the "excitement" again. Common sense should tell us this. How is it that we are in 21st century America and some people still think being a victim is fun?? Haven't these police ever met victims of crime? Did they think these people were having a good time?

Right that makes absolutely ZERO sense. Someone wanting to relive a trauma. If they want the experience to keep happening well then it isn't a trauma is it?

I completely agree. Now if I see a cop car I hyperventilate and think I’m doing something wrong. Even though I’m not doing anything wrong. This has destroyed my relationship with my daughter because she was taught to respect cops and they are always right, it also made tons of rumors that I was a drug user and or dealer. To this day not even my own lawyer believes me. He asked me how did I get so many drugs in my house. Not including jobs that have done background checks and I’m getting calls for then and until they check my background. I shake a lot and talk in my sleep and my family completely isolated me. Except my father who was upstairs when it happened and knew how they treated me. They handcuffed my hands and feet and put me in a patty wagon. I asked for a priest or a mental health professional and they said they would get one and never did. There was a string in my hoodie and they didn’t even notice! That’s how people hang them selves while locked up and isolated. I saw a court appointed therapist and he said “well you let him in your house!” I’ve lost everyone I love because of this. It was over 3 years ago and it’s not going away. I can see how people look at me and what they really think and I have no one to help.

@@JOY-ye2us I'm sorry that happened to you. I wish you the best and hope you find peace.

@Hello World Welp, I found the girl with BPD

This is why Conservatives like me also hate the police. Corrupt AF & no empathy or compassion nor accountability

And the Mustard detective got an award the year and has had 2 promotions so far.

But they are publicly exposed and humiliated

Um two mill minus tax is very little for the trauma/lies

​@melaniegs5952 you don't have to pay tax on a legal settlement.

Absolutely vile of them. I've never heard of a more stark ignorance of mental health.

Unbelievably disgusting comment. Who the hell trained these cops? Such a screwed up case.

Right, as I'm sure all victims want to relive the 'excitement' of their trauma. Did these cops go to CLOWN school to get hired? smh.

It's more than just 'incompetence'. This attitude of theirs is straight up misogyny.

@@Fionixx1 Preach.

me too! and def a candlestick

Totally agree, how can any one take Det. Mustard seriously, we all know it was Col. Mustard in the library with the candlestick.

I was gonna say something like that lol 😂

Bahaha! My mind's eye was instantly visualizing the "Clue" gameboard upon hearing the name "Mustard".

In my experience they significantly lack empathy

😅

Good one ☝️

My favorite aspect of Dr. Grande’s videos 😅

Absolutely crazy

yet the right wants us to just trust them . right id rather trust a squirrel with my nuts

It leaves me speechless and quiet. Which equates to internally livid. I hate when people are victimized

And none of them were reprimanded

The definition of a nightmare!

In some way this couple was lucky, specially her, that the perpetrator was a so called gentleman felon.

It happens more often than not in domestic abuse calls. Unless the victim is bleeding the police take the easy explanation. Less paperwork, no court appearance on their day off duty.

Police motto is supposedly “protect and serve,” but really, the job attracts the type of man who only seeks to exert power over others. This id why male police officers have absurdly high rates of domestic abuse, these men are filled with the desire to hurt other people, especially women.

This happens a lot with victims/ survivor's or sa or csa. As a survivor of csa, I get it all the time. Because I did the work and got therepy for 30 years they doubt that I was abused as a kid. And that was from a mental health professional.

Another reason ppl prob attacked her, is because of the bias of what victims/ survivor's should act like after an assault. Example is how the cops in the ares thought a woman would enjoy reliving or get excitement from being csa. They assume a 12 year old enjoyed there assault. Therefore thinking csa is not a serious trauma.

And, because they see the things of life we usually don't, they have a huge tendency to immediately blame the victims. Because, blaming anybody else might actually mean they have to do a little actual police work. Pretty difficult when you're entire career is based on bullying people and acting superior.

It is deeper than that. Police lie as a routine tactic. They are allowed to do this.

Anyone that isn't always suspicious of "authority" is a fool of the saddest kind. Never trust the government.

Ask for an attorney immediately if the cops start to suspect you.

M Wilson If you're being interviewed /talked to, you're already a suspect. That's why every lawyer tells you not to talk to them.

After all this isn't Russia!

There is nothing to believe in. All they measure is stress. After being interrogated for 18 hours, everyone would feel stressed!

The results are all meaningless

I often wish dr grande would unleash the beast and offer a judgement heh...then again, it why he is a decent professional. Thanks Dr Todd! Your voice alone brings nice grounding plus....

Perfect comment! 😂

I think he may have slight feelings of distrust towards them...

LOL! Spot on.

The police union......

People have their own lives and challenges -- they don't have energy to focus on one more problem

Sounds like a *Clue*

What about the FBI agent??? Netflix made a connection that makes no sense and can’t be a coincidence

isn't this the same department that let zodiac killer go because they thought he was black even though witnesses saying he was white, something's wrong with Vallejo PD

@@waitwhat3547 No that was S.F.P.D that likely let Zodiac go; cops in Solano Co are only thought to have heard his voice on the phone. Most departments in the area are pretty bad though.

the Vallejo cops however dismissed reports of shots fired by the Zodiac on 07/04/1968, thinking it was fireworks as far as I remember

They did. The settlement was 2.5 million. Small, in my opinion. This is the Bay Area.

I actually understand looking closely at a spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend in cases like this given how often that person is responsible. But this case feels to me like the police overlooked the actual evidence, then refused to admit they screwed up and instead pivoted to another nonsensical theory (hoax) that had no real evidence in order to try to save face. I think they knew it wasn't a hoax but were hoping one would make a false confession against the other so the case would be "solved."

@@chad3232132 exactly

😂

Definitely dijon, not english!

😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

LOL!!

Candlestick, in the library...

That’s what really makes me mad - how hard would it be to say they were wrong?

Police NEVER admit to wrongdoing. Ever watch those traffic stop bodycams where it turns out to be an unjust stop? They will never admit to not having a justifiable reason. There was one, where yes, the man acted like a total ahole when stopped, ripping up his money and shit, but he was stopped for not wearing a seatbelt when in fact he was wearing his seatbelt. The cop refused to accept he pulled him over for no good reason.

And others watch too much TV.

I agree with that, Mrs. R. I also think these cops were a bit lazy. First, he murdered her. Then, they made up the kidnapping. Case closed. They really didn't seem like they wanted to investigate this one. Tunnel Vision?

@@JustDr.S Yes. A lack of critical distance to one's own premises. This type of lazyness you mention - over here we call it "Wurschtigkeit" , a devil-may-care attitude - may have played a role, too. Just as you say.

No, the pigs should be in prison!

What murder part?

lol. I think the mall cops would have done a better job than these cops.

Often cops don’t care about your right to consult a lawyer before talking to them or when being arrested.

The alien lizards are in charge of the plant stand(s)?? Who knew?! They must have listened to their psychic voices that said "Today's not a good day to re-arrange things. Give it a rest."

lol. And all *they* did was lie! Told him he failed the polygraph, told him nobody came to see him. It's like they're all just walking around with a bad case of liabetes. smh.🤣

@@JustDr.S Haha- liabaetes. I like it! Right-makes you wonder how many other people have been wrongfully convicted at the hands of someone no wiser than a chubby yellow Clue character! 😂

In all seriousness though, I am tired of the Old Boys’ Club construct. I’ve dealt with it firsthand and it is not fun-so much allowance of unethical practice, and when you finally get the courage to go to someone higher than them, it usually dead-ends because it’s another old boy in the club. Their actions severely and permanently damage people’s lives and they don’t care.

In their book they go into great detail about this - it’s terrifying honestly

Clearly Detective Mustard didn’t have a CLUE

He just couldn't cut it.

Yeah. I heard he’s Colonel Mustard’s nephew. 😂

Thanks for my second laugh of the day!!!

Some other people involved in the case. Professor Plum. Miss Scarlet. Mrs. Peacock. Mr. Green. And Dr. Orchid. 😂

And I like how so many of the officers in these stories break more laws than the people they are questioning. Not to say all cops are bad of course. Being skeptical is one thing, but completely disregarding claims and denying him his attorney?

Yes, I was thinking of his work ethics by maintaining loyal to his posts and how it has made my life more understanding, lets say tolerable to myself so I quit my job, (making sense with a lawsuit and appreciating my resources and the goodness of taking boundaries. An example he shows often.)

From a UK perspective there seems to be an incredible number of law enforcement agencies in the United States and some of them, especially the smaller ones, don't seem overly endowed with competence or integrity. We've went the opposite way in the UK. Perhaps too few which don't have strong links with their locales. For instance I'm in Scotland and we went from about a dozen police forces, each serving a population of several hundred thousand, to one for a population of 5½ million.

Amen!

@@simonw1313 yes, that sounds like too few law enforcement personnel for that population. I’m definitely not for decreasing the number of positions but maybe a cop could have a well trained mental health professional partner riding with them? OR maybe the police academy needs to change the focus of their training.

@@mcd5478 - Its not a question of staff numbers which will vary with the size of the population they have to serve, it's a question of whether lots of small agencies (I think the US has 4,000+ law enforcement agencies) have the expertise or quality of staff to deal with unusual or difficult cases. It seems unlikely that they all will have the capacity to do that.

Id say dry not dull

There is nothing dull about Dr.Grande's witty, dry execution.

Dry or witty are definitely better words for it, I couldnt think of those or anything better at the time. I love his jokes.

Boy do I like the word "witless!". So much of what we hear from people either makes no sense at all or is so dangerous as to be terrifying!

It depends how much they were given. Also, had they been drinking before the kidnapper arrived? Were either of them on any type of medication that might interact with a sleep medication? You would think the police would want to ask all of those questions before they make an assumption.

@@donnag7908 I agree!

Some people turn like zombies with allergy medicine and can barely keep their heads and eyes open. It's sleep medication anyway, the purpose is to make you sleep, the more the more effective

@@Sarablueunicorn I'm sure you're right - I guess I thought an over-the-counter sleep meds couldn't possibly work on people loaded with adrenaline during home invasion and kidnapping.

@@nebraskafrankcourtny go take 30 benadryl (Diphenhydramine)tablets, 30 melatonin tablets, and 30 doxylamine succinate tablets (the nyquil sleepaid)put it in a blender with a cup or so of orange juice and chug it down, even if you smoke some crack beforehand for the adrenaline effect, let me know how it goes when you wake up in the hospital rambling about the spiders on the ceiling and how the tigers won't stop popping your balloons in Mexico. You might have to haunt the coroner or mortician to do it for you though, so I take it back, do not do anything I previously stated OTC medicine can do much more than knock you out, it can kill you or cause permanent brain damage.
