Here it is...the current mayor of Detroit was the prosecuting attorney in his original case years ago! Do you really think Duggan was going let him leave prison? Also, he ratted on corrupt officials and family members of a woman he slept with who was related to a former mayor. If you can watch youtube video with Nate Boone. He talks about Rick and some of what really happened.
Can't wait to see his Documentary. Hes a beautiful soul. Thank god hes out doing well and helping others. What a waste to be locked up for so long. Hopefully there be a movie about his life after prison.

This was sooo messed up! Best of wishes to you and your family Rick! Also, thank you for showing us even though you go through bad things in life you don't have to still have a negative outlook on life. You have a good heart. The American government is a joke. Always have been smh
You will never be able to entrepreneur without the government sniffing around. This guy was apart of the trade. Sucks how he had to be the one on the chopping block
Yo i just watched white boy Ricky! man this man is so fucking strong to be this positive on the outlook of life and his perspective is truly honorable. I wish people were more like this that could look past... the past and see a positive vision for the future of themselves, others and the children of our future as a collective. I would be highly honored to meet this man of pain, suffering and progression into life. Life is all about suffering which we cannot escape and also about the challenges we go through to be better for ourselves and others. Kudos to you mate! From Australia. ALL we can do is support him if we are not in power to do anything, cos ya know money makes the world go around, that wont change for a long time. All the best Ricky!!

You can see the PTSD from being in prison.. if you watch how his eyes move... this is what Growing up in these Hard Core Communities do to you along with those who go to prison, war etc .. PTSD .. smh it’s real!
Honestly was looking for this comment. I think it has to do with just the amount of things moving around him. Imagine looking at walls that many years then all of a sudden there is motion and noises everywhere. Don't know much about PTSD but that could be it too.
Hats off to Rick, I did 12 yrs for a first offense and the only violence I committed was harsh language and raising my voice and this man has all of my respect. The system is and has been broken for a very long time.
@SCOTTIEPIMPlN Thanx man. Last year I equaled out, I hit the yard in 98 and was released in 2010 so I've been out as long as I was in. Rick did decades and has no bitterness or hatred in his actions nor his heart. That has to be commended as well as Respected.
This was a awesome interview with him I really enjoyed the interview I would like to meet this guy one day in person he has a great story has a great mind and he's also given back to the people in his community I like that good luck buddy
Best of luck to you Rick! So glad that you are out and that you are spending time with your mother. I wish you a nice long life and much success!!! Nice to hear you admit you did wrong, but you paid way too much time!
My brother Rick your life is sure one that must be told. I really really feel your pain in your words. I see the joy that must be put back in your eyes which was taken from you long ago. May the Lord Enlighten and Spark that magic love which he has waiting for you. They stole your past, you can save someone's future there is your Redemption God bless you brother
Damn. The government is the ultimate gangsters. They teach that man how to fish and then takes away his fishing rod and then puts him in a cage. Cold blooded, but I'm not surprised.
First of all seems like most people agree he was pushed into this life from law enforcement and dirty career politicians. So law enforcement needs to do lots of explaining from destroying Wershe and his family's lives, then Wershe should also get a full pardon and a 32 year,7 months full retirement from FBI, Michigan law enforcement etc...the minimum. I just quit voting way long time ago,cause I lost trust in both political parties.Specially for governors like we have in Michigan. But if Wershe runs to be our governor, or senator etc... in Michigan, do not care what party he is in, he would have my vote immediately.
Living in Michigan and flint my whole life and I just found out about white boy Rick. Im 22. Its a shame this story isn't talked about even more than it is. Hope he's doing good
I wish him nothing but the best. He has his head on straight and his intentions are solid. He endured so much as did his family. I hope he can shine a light on mass incarceration, and prison reform as he spoke of. I too have been to prison for years and know exactly what he's referring to. He will have a platform and I believe he will put it to good cause.
He was a kid when he got locked up for stupid reasons. Yet the law proceeded to take basically his whole adult life away from him. Keep in mind he killed no one. Messed up world we live in.
What a strong man....just watched the film...unbelievable! It was disgusting how he was treated! He should sue the state ( or someone🤔). He is soo right in everything he is saying! There are innocent people in jail right now. The laws he’s talking about are spot on! So brilliant how he is out there telling his story and now helping a cause. ( reform) Good people are getting wrong sentences and bad people are getting off lightly. It’s so wrong. Good for him writing his book and doing a documentary. I hope he makes loads of money from it too. He deserves a good life after what he’s had to do!. Wish I could help somehow?🤔🇬🇧✌️🙏🏻
I think it's fantastic he filed the lawsuit the day before the one year statue of limitations expired. I think it's great cause you know there was someone/a group of people counting down the days he had to file. They f#@ked him and now he's coming for his justice. Rick is an amazing person
I got you on your book/documentary, would love to read uncut version and agree that you can't trust nobody when they are out to protect there own dirt.
The place for the interview was chosen very unprofessionally, the sound quality is terrible, as well as the quality of the video, a big minus for the journalist, the feeling that it was filmed with a phone from 2000. how could you not appreciate these moments? and so negligently treat the quality of sound and video? Rick is great, I wish him good luck, what happened is the mistake of his youth, without the right to correction, his whole life was literally taken away from him. this is insanely unfair.
This same story that happened to a couple people when we were minors back in the 80s they were used as kids to be informants for them in up state New York ....And the white boy Rick story a great movie ....me
its 2020. were capable of crystal clear audio in 90 mph wind.. now.. ask your self.. does it make political sense to do this interview with crystal clear audio? From the amount of things you can hear in the background, the gain on the mic's were turned WAAAAAY up, The people they hire to manage the audio for these interviews are not amateurs. This "cranked gain" decision was nothing short of deliberate.
Though 4 the day after watching & listing to this video. U can make the conscious effort to make change, but if Those around you don’t want to change makes it very hard
It's crazy to watch this video and understanding what prison does to a person. Rick is constantly looking around, more than once he jerked his head around almost in fear of what might be coming behind him. His eyes are constantly checking his surroundings. Stress is tge silent killer and kills more people every year than cancer. Sad really.
Well, even though he spend half of his life in prison. He is still a Legend the youngest FBI informant and the youngest drug lord. I mean this might sound wrong. But, i still respect this guy. He was little back than
Whoever the hell is responsible for doing this interview with the wind louder then Rick needs to lose their job. Imagine paying for this amateur shit .
This is the most tragic story ever! I cried so many times for this kid he was 17 your government is rotten to the core using a 15 year old child as a scapegoat ,shame on you , I was framed and set up and did time , completely innocent of all crimes, so it specially hits me, the feeling of being set up & having your life burnt to the ground ! So much corruption, This kid should be payed millions in compensation from American government
Rick has a great attitude and I'm sure he'll make a difference in society. I didn't hear any remorse about all the drugs he put on the street causing death, addiction and crime. I'm not sure if he would have changed if he got out in 5-6 years.
I'm so sorry that Rick snitched out a ton of people and still ended up in prison. Some of you same dudes in these comments saying poor Rick are over on Vlads channel talking street code and never snitching. What's that say about Rick, nothing it just shows you're a counterfeit!
He is very aware of he's surroundings During this interview not unlike we who served in Northern Ireland .... good luck in life to this man and hope he finally finds rest.
Rick is a walking, talking example of what the American government is really all about. 🤷🏾♂️
Period... 💯🤦♂️

Let's have an interview in a hurricane. Nice!
This was a awesome interview with him I really enjoyed the interview I would like to meet this guy one day in person he has a great story has a great mind and he's also given back to the people in his community I like that good luck buddy
Best of luck to you Rick! So glad that you are out and that you are spending time with your mother. I wish you a nice long life and much success!!! Nice to hear you admit you did wrong, but you paid way too much time!
I can't wait to see this documentary coming out that he's working on
My brother Rick your life is sure one that must be told. I really really feel your pain in your words. I see the joy that must be put back in your eyes which was taken from you long ago. May the Lord Enlighten and Spark that magic love which he has waiting for you. They stole your past, you can save someone's future there is your Redemption God bless you brother
Damn. The government is the ultimate gangsters. They teach that man how to fish and then takes away his fishing rod and then puts him in a cage. Cold blooded, but I'm not surprised.
Definition of Railroaded!
First of all seems like most people agree he was pushed into this life from law enforcement and dirty career politicians. So law enforcement needs to do lots of explaining from destroying Wershe and his family's lives, then Wershe should also get a full pardon and a 32 year,7 months full retirement from FBI, Michigan law enforcement etc...the minimum.
I just quit voting way long time ago,cause I lost trust in both political parties.Specially for governors like we have in Michigan. But if Wershe runs to be our governor, or senator etc... in Michigan, do not care what party he is in, he would have my vote immediately.
Living in Michigan and flint my whole life and I just found out about white boy Rick. Im 22. Its a shame this story isn't talked about even more than it is. Hope he's doing good
I wish him nothing but the best. He has his head on straight and his intentions are solid. He endured so much as did his family. I hope he can shine a light on mass incarceration, and prison reform as he spoke of. I too have been to prison for years and know exactly what he's referring to. He will have a platform and I believe he will put it to good cause.
Imagine being locked up at High school age and seeing the 86 all the way to the 00s behind bars 😮
Sincerely a beautiful person!
He was a kid when he got locked up for stupid reasons. Yet the law proceeded to take basically his whole adult life away from him. Keep in mind he killed no one.
Messed up world we live in.
Wershe for Governor
What a strong man....just watched the film...unbelievable! It was disgusting how he was treated! He should sue the state ( or someone🤔). He is soo right in everything he is saying! There are innocent people in jail right now. The laws he’s talking about are spot on! So brilliant how he is out there telling his story and now helping a cause. ( reform) Good people are getting wrong sentences and bad people are getting off lightly. It’s so wrong.
Good for him writing his book and doing a documentary. I hope he makes loads of money from it too. He deserves a good life after what he’s had to do!. Wish I could help somehow?🤔🇬🇧✌️🙏🏻
What's the name of the movie?
@@charlescarter4608white boy Rick on starz
I’m sooo happy you are finally OUT!! You should of been out 32 years ago!!! I love you Rick ❤️🌈✌️👍💪🙏🙏🙏💋
If I was the Governor of Michigan I would have given him a pardon a long time ago.
I hope the feds awarded him some kind of settlement!
It's so surreal seeing him out of prison. So glad to see
Yo big respect to whiteboy. Im soo glad you made it out alive my guy. Be the change
Do well Rick Wershe!💕
FBI has a lot of explaining to do
Who tf buys fries with no ketchup
words of the WISE ..Ricks Voice should be a true game changer for the michigan justice system..
I think it's fantastic he filed the lawsuit the day before the one year statue of limitations expired. I think it's great cause you know there was someone/a group of people counting down the days he had to file. They f#@ked him and now he's coming for his justice. Rick is an amazing person
I got you on your book/documentary, would love to read uncut version and agree that you can't trust nobody when they are out to protect there own dirt.
Killing someone in a crash accident is an "accident" selling drugs and intentionally killing someone is deliberate, that's the difference
The place for the interview was chosen very unprofessionally, the sound quality is terrible, as well as the quality of the video, a big minus for the journalist, the feeling that it was filmed with a phone from 2000. how could you not appreciate these moments? and so negligently treat the quality of sound and video? Rick is great, I wish him good luck, what happened is the mistake of his youth, without the right to correction, his whole life was literally taken away from him. this is insanely unfair.
Right very piss poor
This same story that happened to a couple people when we were minors back in the 80s they were used as kids to be informants for them in up state New York ....And the white boy Rick story a great movie ....me
very smart guy, sounds very positive. He is going places. I wish .
you the best.
How are you going to get a chance to do this interview and pick a spot with SO MUCH BACKGROUND NOISE to do it in?
its 2020. were capable of crystal clear audio in 90 mph wind.. now.. ask your self.. does it make political sense to do this interview with crystal clear audio?
From the amount of things you can hear in the background, the gain on the mic's were turned WAAAAAY up, The people they hire to manage the audio for these interviews are not amateurs. This "cranked gain" decision was nothing short of deliberate.
I understand. What I don’t understand is why an alternate location wasn’t chosen.
@@urania235 who knows.. all i know is.. with something as culturally profound as this interview? it deserved better..
@@FailingForFun haha what would the motive be for low quality audio?
We love you brother! Glad your finally free.
Why are the people who used him not being held accountable also.
Look at those eyes and how he attentive from 9 to 3.. Dont do crime or you'll be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life!
Though 4 the day after watching & listing to this video. U can make the conscious effort to make change, but if Those around you don’t want to change makes it very hard
You get away from those people!!
It's crazy to watch this video and understanding what prison does to a person. Rick is constantly looking around, more than once he jerked his head around almost in fear of what might be coming behind him. His eyes are constantly checking his surroundings. Stress is tge silent killer and kills more people every year than cancer. Sad really.
I'd love to see a rick and nate boone craft face to face interview
Need prison reform and police reform. The system in Detroit has always been corrupt since the 60s to this day!
This dude had his life ripped away by a crooked system 🙅♂️😎
Well, even though he spend half of his life in prison. He is still a Legend the youngest FBI informant and the youngest drug lord. I mean this might sound wrong. But, i still respect this guy. He was little back than
Drug lord 🤭 are you serious? Pahhhhh hahahahahahaha
He was never a drug lord he was smalltime
Rick was far from a druglord.
If you respect a Rat then you a Rat
Whoever the hell is responsible for doing this interview with the wind louder then Rick needs to lose their job. Imagine paying for this amateur shit .
Ricki’s gonna be on tv sooner than later. He clearly has the temperament and ability to act. He deserves the opportunity.
This is the most tragic story ever! I cried so many times for this kid he was 17 your government is rotten to the core using a 15 year old child as a scapegoat ,shame on you , I was framed and set up and did time , completely innocent of all crimes, so it specially hits me, the feeling of being set up & having your life burnt to the ground ! So much corruption, This kid should be payed millions in compensation from American government
Rick has a great attitude and I'm sure he'll make a difference in society. I didn't hear any remorse about all the drugs he put on the street causing death, addiction and crime. I'm not sure if he would have changed if he got out in 5-6 years.
Never ever trust cop’s, FBI or most lawyers
Watching his story on Netflix right now .. dirty cops .. dirty FBI and a juvenile that was railroaded. What a disgrace. So glad he is out.
God bless you Rick wershe... over ... & over...& over ... again &...again... &....
So many injustices to non violent drug offenders in America.
I was 22 min into this video before I heard the locust. Captivating
Im so happy to see him in the setting that hes in now... i cried cause Im so happy he is out... cause they really did him so wrong.. God bless him
The I come across peoples stories the more I see it’s not about race.
It’s the poor vs the rich and powerful, that’s it!
100
They should pay this man.
Awesome interview and good questioning from the journalist.
I'm so sorry that Rick snitched out a ton of people and still ended up in prison. Some of you same dudes in these comments saying poor Rick are over on Vlads channel talking street code and never snitching. What's that say about Rick, nothing it just shows you're a counterfeit!
He is very aware of he's surroundings During this interview not unlike we who served in Northern Ireland .... good luck in life to this man and hope he finally finds rest.
@Satanic Panic Fun and Games something to do and to give the wife a break!
Fascinating story indeed, I watched the film and couldn't believe the American system works this way.
Damn he did enough time for his self and the people he ratted on. Ain't nobody in detroit gonna be a threat to his life today trust and believe
