Bates Investigates

I’ve listened to several of these podcasts, and I’m almost under the impression that it was a joint effort. The short black cop that they talk about that raped one of the females, I’m thinking was involved in the drug trade in the neighborhood and Holtzclaw is getting too close to uncovering where the drugs were flowing from, and maybe who benefited from it and I believe he was set up. If he would’ve uncovered the truth, maybe other officers would’ve went down. I think there’s deep rooted corruption in the police force. He didn’t fit in because he was a good cop. I think that whole police force needs to be investigated.

When I first began my search, to find an in-depth, deep-dive, of the Daniel Holtzclaw case…I didn’t know exactly what I was looking for, however…I did know that once I found the “right show” I would understand immediately, that “this” was the show I was looking. Just like the aged old saying…”I’ll know it, when I see it.” I see myself as being deeply involved &/or immersed in the true crime genre and I consider myself to be very knowledgeable about any/all/& every case that I choose to follow. I understand that everyone feels like they’re an expert & that they “know” &/or they “get/it” (the truth of the case” …better than most, especially over the “casual fan.” Enough of me trying to sell the notion that I myself is some true crime savant lol. Now that I’m done “blowing myself” lol…I’m going to get to the task at hand, expressing my opinion of this show. I’m not some bot or an ignorant troll. This my take, my opinion and yes, I am actual human being native to planet Earth. As I stated above, I was searching explicitly for a high caliber, deep-dive investigation into the Daniel Holtzclaw travesty, as I refer to it. This show is exactly what I was looking for in every shape or facet, It’s no doubt, hands down, the best, most accurate, highly invested investigation into the Daniel Holtzclaw case. This show deserves to be the benchmark/the standard/the measuring stick for any/all/& every… Daniel Holtzclaw investigation/documentary/or podcast. After listening to this entire show, there’s really no need to look for anything else, you know, from the standpoint of learning/understanding of the truth.

As you spoke about the ‘no snitching’ code amongst the area’s (mostly black) residents, you stated: “In my experience, it’s really not so much of a moral code, as it is an underlying threat (i.e. ‘snitches get stitches’).” …..🤔 Uhhhh… sure… Not like black people could POSSIBLY have any INTEGRITY or make decisions based on their morals… right?!? 🙄😣 I mean, YOU of all people would know… based on your “experience” with… what, exactly? Reading black people’s minds?? 😒 What an ignorant, COMPLETELY SUBJECTIVE assertion to make. But hey, at least you made it clear from the get-go how you feel about the community you’re referring to there. P.S. I agree with your stance on this case being a wrongful conviction, which is always a terrible tragedy no matter if the defendant is black, white, green, or purple. My comment above was just food for thought but I’m still giving you 5 stars because its so important that more people come to understand how wrongful convictions happen. Maybe this story will resonate with the demographic of folks (blue live matter people, etc) who normally refuse to believe the VAST INjustices of the “Justice” System that affect SOOO many impoverished black families who lose their fathers/brothers/uncles, etc. to prison alllll too often over this crap (reverse-engineered investigations, etc). The only anomalous part of this story is that the defendant was a cop. Other than that— Welcome to normal life for black folks in America.

I love... where's the rest?
