[@ianbelletti6241]

[@kasperkilledyou]

Get you a lawyer that turns felony’s into misdameens

[@mcnamaraky]

@@Justin-dr5uw Then you already committed the felony so the misdemeanor is irrelevant. It's only relevant the other way around. However, if possible, You WOULD commit a misdemeanor to AVOID a felony, for example, but only if that were somehow a possibility (e.g. plead guilty to a misdemeanor instead of a felony). So yeah, that's what you'd do? If I had a warrant for murder, got caught on a misdemeanor, and then the murder charge got dropped? I'd be ok with that. I'm pretty sure anyone would take that trade lol.

4:55 To "Yeet" something is to throw it with great force. I've heard "Yeet" described as the opposite of "Yoink" which is to pull on something roughly with great force.

[@jamiecook4557]

That’s actually the best description I’ve ever heard. I just went, “He was tossed from the bike.”

[@Simonjose7258]

“Yeeted” is a slang term that means to throw something with force and without regard for the thing being thrown. For example, you might say “He just grabbed my phone and yeeted it into the river”. The term “yeet” can also be used as an exclamation to express excitement, enthusiasm, or surprise. For example, you might say “Yeet!” after something cool or remarkable happens, such as when someone is about to throw a three-pointer in basketball. The term “yeet” originated in the US as an elision of “Yes!” and “Neat!” . The earliest confirmed use of the term was in a dance video posted on Vine in 2014 What is an "elision"? 🤔 Elision is the omission of sounds, syllables, or words in speech. It's a common practice in spoken language because it speeds up speech and improves the flow of conversation. For example, "I don't know" might be pronounced "I duno". Elision can also refer to cases where two words are run together by omitting a final sound. For example, "th'orient". Elision can involve omitting vowels, consonants, or syllables. For example, "library" might be pronounced "laibri". Elision can also refer to omitting a vowel at the end of one word when the next word begins with a vowel. For example, "see it" and "go in". Elision comes from the Latin word elidere which means "to crush out".

I was on an 8 hour round trip in Wisconsin on my 2014 heritage. Around 10pm at night, going 65mph and I saw movement in the distance and 2 seconds later two deer are in my lane. I slam on both brakes and pull the clutch and JUST missed both of them. Experience can help you avoid some crazy things.

[@jbaird559]

Cop is a g, super calm even with the guy with the gun and goes back to the car and he’s playing roscoe dash 😂😂😂

[@jackiethedunn2624]

Would love to see your take on the Ruby Franke case. It’s so bizarre

[@tanieshasimmons5212]

I think he’s posted since!

[@Koppu1doragon]

Yeet is a meme word for a strong throw, it implies a lack of care or attempt to aim.

[@cmcull987]

Wow, kudos to that officer who told the guy in the house (?) so nicely to put the gun away. It also sounds like he said please and thank you. I cracked up at that. And the guy basically said okay like it was no big deal.

[@13donstalos]

If this was Chicago the cop would have dumped an entire clip at the house

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

I love how this was the day Bruce learned what "yeeted" meant. Also, that's a really funny dude that came to the window *with a gun* as if he was going "CAN I HELP???" Granted, pretty stupid to have been waving it around so carelessly to make them worry, but at least that worked out.

[@Pokebilities]

The Busch shirt is hilarious

[@Ally-Oop]

Pausing in the beginning just to say how much I love the way Michael gets praised. Get you a dad that boosts your ego man, right on. “I live for nobody but him” lmao

[@frankchavez4014]

Bruce can you do a video on the Ruby Franke situation, the famous KZbinr, 8 passengers. It’s insane.

[@jbox0612]

Amazingly polite conversation！

[@septegram]

It's hard to think of a problem with the police you can't make worse by fleeing them.

[@xBellevueBallerZx]

Terminator 2: Judgement Day I rest my case, your honor.

[@krystalized06]

"Yeet" is when something moves suddenly or at a high velocity. The cops showed up, so I yeeted my weed out the window and called Bruce.

[@gracesays4588]

Michael, Please get him on the Franke/Hildebrandt case as soon as enough comes out!

[@mskyn150]

Yessss!!!!

[@barbraseville8984]

"Can you put that down, please?"

[@evanpimental]

The cop is slapping wacka flocka! 😂

[@jgroove130]

I was like wtf

[@cherrelleg8276]

Why they put a translate to English button under your comment 🤣🤣🤣

[@evanpimental]

@@cherrelleg8276 because we're all still trying to figure out what the fuck a wacka flocks is... lol

[@princessofyah-44]

Thought I was the only one 😂

[@evanpimental]

@@princessofyah-44 This cop is either stuck in 2010, or he's about 13 years late when it comes to what's popular. 👮‍♂️ 😂 😂

[@cheryl1]

Omg I love your commentary!!! 😊❤

[@colintelin1828]

If that’s not the most Midwest interaction / reaction idk what is. For one dude just comes out with a pistol has to know cops are there with the lights, and the cop just tells him to put it away lol. I applaud this cop for just being super chill, knowing the situation but also not making another conflict

[@jenniferruth812]

Yeah that was hilarious. It seems like a skit that Charlie Berens would do😂.

[@shaun5047]

I wouldn’t have had my pistol up like that but if I hear all hell breaking loose outside my home I’d definitely have it in my hand. The 1st thing I would think is the cops are chasing an escaped prisoner and worry if the guy is trying to break into my house. Same house with literally my entire family. Lol Semi side note, he definitely didn’t point it at the cops so I’m not even sure why Bruce said he did.

[@ledzep3692]

Good thing he didn't have a dark tan...😅

[@JQuattro]

A lot of people dont understand the stress these situations put on the family either, I was that kid once and saw the damage first hand. Definitely one of my biggest regrets so I feel for his mom

[@redrose41000]

I liked how his Mom didn’t make a bunch of excuses for him.

[@jeffgriffith6839]

Great job as usual! Love it.

[@dixiechicken2643]

I totally agree that this episode of his, did save life in the end. With the way the kid handled that, it's obvious he is far too immature and irresponsible to be riding a bike. Some of the best advice, one should always remember is "Never, ever, commit a felony, to avoid a misdemeanor."

[@janicemacmillan2610]

Why do I watch? Your show is so entertaining, plus you give so much info that could help anyone stay out of trouble. Thanks, Bruce🇨🇦❤️

[@brooke4782]

I shouldn't laugh but Bruce not knowing what yeet is so funny to me.

[@andreaknibbs9328]

Saved his life. Poor mom.

[@woahza4194]

"yeeted" Is a funny way of saying dude went flyin/got thrown. It started after a funny meme if I remember correctly. It's cool to see a fellow Minnesota content creator.

[@Openingtheshadow]

I love his love for his son. What an amazing bond. ❤

[@drawk56]

“YEET” Genius popular term for getting shamefully expelled, yanked, ripped away from something.

[@camcrid]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I know fifty lawyers, I work for three, and I like five, and now I like six. These videos are very helpful.

[@maxmiles4338]

yeeted (transition verb) : to throw especially with force and without regard for the thing being thrown
