It’s not the critic who counts but those actually in the arena. This is a tribute video we put together with a portion of the text from Teddy Roosevelt’s notable speech:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Thank you to all who serve in the police forces. God bless you and protect you! God bless the loved ones who lost their family members in the line of duty.
Thank you officers
That was AWESOME!!
Wow.
The do er!
3 types of people in the world.
I am my brothers keeper, I am a sheepdog!
Be reasonable, be safe, come home healthy. ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
J P….WHATEVER. YOU KNOW HE DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU SAY.
Mike, you couldn't had said it any better. Thank you Law Enforcement for your services.
so racist.
semper fidelis.
Oh that's going in my favorites.
LOVE THIS! I will soon be going into the field of corrections and at Some point a deputy sheriff.
this made me cry!!! thanks to all the officers to die to save and protect us! thanks to all the asshole officers that gave me a tickets and did you job! i love you guys thanks. may god be with you and your family's!!!
Now the cop at 1:45 is how all cops should be informed about mma and what's safe and what's not and when to stop fighting. He uses a jujitsu takedown ends up in mount they struggle he throws a few punches uses stun gun couple times takes his back and would have been able to cuff him himself but back up arrived and they cuffed him without incident and no running knees or kicks or punches to the suspect. Now was this because there was a camera? idk
First off the guy with the blonde parted dread locks, was choked far too long. One guy had him in a mma rear naked choke with both hooks in and the other cop couldn't get the gun out of his pockets within seconds why? They choked him unconscious and kept choking him which can kill somebody after 5 minutes. You made my point that cops are fucking piece of shit psychos who look like children torturing cats in some of these videos on youtube. Go watch the full video of that one. The man was incapacitated far earlier, yet he keeps choking him and nearly kills him. The force duration went for WAYY TOOOO FUCKING LONG. Even a dumbass who doesn't know mma could see this. Thx mike…
@ .14 …lmmfao!…that was awesome!
I recite from memory Roosevelt's "Man in the Arena" passage everyday as a constant reminder of who I am and who I want to become. This was brilliant, thank you Mike.
God Bless the Thin Blue Line.
God Bless you all Heros our Men and Women in Blue. My blood bleeds Blue always!!! May God be with you all always. Thank you's are not nearly given enough. I stand beside you always. Stay 10-8 and rollin' and keep your heads on swivels Heros. Thank you for all you do now and will continue to do. Lord knows we need you!!!
Tears :'(
Its hard not to laugh at the desperate attempts at your propaganda, which only purpose is to arouse your viewers limited ability to react to such bullshit! You are so desperate to to keep control through fear, your a joke!
just watch the video muted
Mike, you are a shit covered fuckstick! You brought a tear to my eye (that's not easy to do to a Ranger combat Vet ) Be the one who comes home from the arena or be the one who gives it all so that your brothers can.
well said praise the police not the liberal scum bags and the screwed news
I work for the department of mental health in my state and I'm hanging this speech on the office wall. Thanks man. If you haven't bled for your fellow man…well… be glad someone did.
Hi, someone commented on my video about the music here. I would like to thank you for using my song for this amazing video. I feel honored
Goosebumps
OMG, Mike!! Wowee.. Crying and goosebumps. Can't get anymore real than that. Thank YOU for posting this. Just remember for 1 hateful moron there are at least 2 grateful people that have your 6. 🚔💙
God speed mike thank you to all police you are the beast
Nice work. Stay safe.
Great video mike, can you do a video about the robber who got attacked while robbing a starbucks. He was attacked by a nearby person. He hit the robber with a chair and stabbed him, he was a hero named by the police. The robbers mom is pressing charges on that man because of excessive force can you talk about this?
damn you did a fantastic job
Sometimes, with all of the negative media regarding police lately, folks forget that that officers save and help people. Some even sacrifice everything to rescue people in need or to stop a dangerous individual. It's not training that creates these cops, it's who they are on a core level.
Yo my dude, I'm straight up an anarchist whose had legal trouble because (and I'm sure you can believe this) I'm kinda stupid sometimes, and I used to make some pretty bad decisions. I just found your channel and I really respect the work you're doing. You make really convincing arguments that any of the times some weird shit has gone down in my life involving law enforcement, yeah there was actually a pretty good reason for it. I always wanted to believe that most police are decent humans just doing their job and yeah you're really ticking that box for me.
I'm not crazy about some police behavior, and I'm really not crazy about certain aspects of law enforcement that are kind of "inherent flaws" but I also don't have any solutions to those problems, that I'm sure you've thought about as well. People like you have put in some very good work in showing me that we're just trying to do our best to work on the weird situation that is human society.
I am pretty fuckin crazy about this TR speech though. Literally the best president we'll ever have.
Anyway, I just wanted to show my appreciation for the work you're doing on your channel (and if I can surmise how you operate outside of the channel, that too) from the perspective of someone who, traditionally, makes your job really fucking annoying. Keep it up, and I really mean it. If you're not all about that youtube money, I'd really like to see many more videos of you educating people on the exact procedure for dealing with police, and dispelling or hopefully destroying completely the misinformation that leads to headaches and dead people.
For the record: Civil Disobedience is my jam and I really don't want anyone to get hurt. We honestly just need to trust each other exactly as much as it takes for nobody to fucking die.
Sorry, what I actually meant to say was:
crack rock steady
are you ready to stop
the rotten blue menace
let's go kill us a cop
crack rock steady
are you ready?
livin' above the law!
This is fantastic! Future cop in the making right here, and this is an exceptional tribute!
Good grief. I just got so choked up. God bless all of you who put your lives on the line for righteousness. You are loved and respected
Mike, could you delete comments similar to the 5th reply on wiggle dig's comment please?Thanks man.
thank you Mike and all the folks in blue for the work you do. you protect the 90% from the 10% that pollute the world. without you and yours we would not be safe.
Well done brother
