What are you thinking? Fired police officer? I can see that. Protests, I can see that too? Defund the police so there are less out there? That can't be a solution, can it? Rioting where they burn the city down? Hope not but I'm sure someone will incite it. All I know is, if defunding happens, I dont want to hear complaints when a Miami Dolphins WR gets robbed of all his stuff or worse.

I saw the bodycam and I almost felt bad for him for a second. Then I went back and reviewed all the vile stuff he's done since college and got away with because he's good at football and I don't feel so bad anymore

I think if the violent officer from the interaction gets fired and the PD makes a token apology, that will be all and everyone will move on. If the PD digs in their heels and the officer escapes any punishment, maybe Hill does resort to legal action.

His phone falls out of his hands to the ground. It sounds like he was on the phone with him and is trying to give the play-by-play about what's happening.

It's not difficult. Follow directions. I think the cop overreacted but I also can see his point of view when someone rolls up tinted windows. No idea what they could be doing or grabbing when that happens.

No way in hell their union lets him get fired. That would set a precedent that they can fire them for mild excessive force and no police union would stand for that.

i wonder how it would play out if hill said "i will never play another down in this town until those officers are fired" or demanded a trade. maybe it isnt right, but it would put every party in a tough spot and i am not sure with the public pressure, he wouldnt win out in the end

Just saw the video. Absolutely disgusting. That officer was an #@#@#@#@#@#@#@ of the highest order. Literally zero communication other than roll your window down. No attempt to communicate in any kind of professional/adult manner. Then he just keeps it going (reading more of the transcripts). I freaking hate this stuff so much. And yes, he should have rolled his window back down. But you cannot convince me that officer is not an absolutely tool and has not done this a thousand times to other people. I have zero doubt if this was not Tyreek Hill this would have ended very, very badly.

Don't care if the cop "went overboard". Everyone is entitled to their opinion on where that line is, and I wouldn't argue with what they think about that.
As someone who drives a car, seeing Tyreek going double the rest of the cars through this area, I'm really thankful for any steps taken to make sure that this type of action is discouraged and that my life is being protected. That's all this is. These officers are out here saving lives with their actions. You might not be okay with their actions but they weren't putting Tyreeks in danger with them. Tyreek on the other hand has a history of endangering the lives of others and this situation is no exception.

2 seconds later his window is still down and they pull him out anyways. Not saying Tyreek was being a model citizen here, but if you can't see what's wrong with that then boy, that tells me a lot about you. (Also, I think Tyreek is in general not a great person, but that's not the point here).

Sadly in those way too many videos where this exact scenario takes place where the officer says keep the window down, and the driver doesn't comply... driver attempts to drive off and/or murder the cop. Either by hitting the officer, dragging the officer, or pulling a gun. All of this is for the officers safety, as well as the other drivers on the road. The other horror stories of those videos is when the driver does drive off and causes a ton of damage, or even worse takes a life. I have zero compassion for Tyreek here, besides being compassionate towards the fact that he's such a misguided horrible person and something happened along the way to make him that way.

Talk to officers in a respectful manner and do what they say.
Hill did neither before they pulled him out of the car. |

“Don’t touch my window.” How many times did he say that when being spoken to?
“Give me my ticket so I can go.”

The union already released a statement that the officers did nothing wrong and were following protocol
