Jumped selling sneakers, or drug deal gone bad?

This is a teaser for a hopefully-upcoming story. In it we go along along for the ride as Noah's alibi-generation skills go up against against the investigatory skills of a few police officers. Noah is insistent that he was selling a pair of "Jordan 6" sneakers. The police, on the other hand, don't find any sign of sneakers. But they do find something else in his car: drugs. According to Noah, the people who robbed him must have left the drugs behind. Do you believe him? [You might be wondering why I don't just publish the full story. It's been ready for more than a week. The answer relates to YouTube's advertiser-friendliness guidelines and their relationship with search and discovery on YouTube. I would have sworn that the full video easily meets those guidelines, but apparently YouTube's systems and then a human reviewer didn't see eye-to-eye with me on that. To YouTube's credit, there is an unofficial way to appeal by one more round, but it's all a process and it all takes time. That's where things stand with the full-length video... and unfortunately a number of others as well. Fortunately, this doesn't happen often, but there are a solid half-dozen videos waiting for re-review. Even the most recent published video — of the woman who successfully ran from her DUI arrest — that, too, required an appeal of an appeal before it was green-lighted. Prior to that, a human reviewer had somehow categorized it as "focusing on graphic violence." Which it obviously doesn't. Many of videos on this channel are demonetized, and for most of those videos I predicted as much. It's only an issue when a video's classification appears to be wrong, since improper classification dramatically and artificially limits a video's reach. I publish original investigative reporting covering US law enforcement and crime, and I want my work to be seen by the people who want to see it. The last thing I want is for YouTube to suppress them for reasons that are not reality-based.] That digression aside, and without further ado: the teaser. *The full-length, 71-minute video is available now on Patreon. ~~~ /r/realworldpolice @realworldpolice ~~~ Want to help make Real World Police happen and get rewarded for it?
