Seems like there was a little over reaction taking place.

Yeah. Tyreek should not have over reacted.
But he didn’t du nuffin!
Did those cops strike you as being pretty beefy? Maybe they’re frustrated ex college safeties venting.
what is the point of a $350,000 car if you can’t go 105 mph in city streets?
were the cops wearing jaguar jerseys under their uniforms?
Clearly hasn’t viewed the Chris Rock PSA on how to not get your @$$ kicked by police…
But he’s a star! Privileged jerk, more like it. Belongs in jail.
Why is NFL even letting play football with all that domestic violence? He should be in a prison alone in a cell.

Well the inmates are running the asylum in the National Felon League.
I did not know the backstory on this. It goes to show his character and probably why he was treated the way he was.
One other thing I notice. There were 5-6 cops on motorcycles at the scene. Was there a chase? Did Tyreek not pull over when the red lights went on?
There is always something behind the scenes of incidents like this. How much blame do the cops own? How much is on Tyreek?
Rolling up the window on the cop is a bad idea and was a mistake.
First question cop has is if they are obscuring view to reach for a gun.
I wouldn’t have been surprised if the cop had drawn his gun at that point.
He has no more civilized sense than a Haitian.
Force against a handcuffed suspect brings in the Graham factors. The Graham Factors are Reasons for Using Force
The Court stated that whether force is reasonable requires a careful balancing of the nature of the intrusion on the suspect’s liberty against the countervailing governmental interest at stake. In short, what did the officer do (or what was the nature of the intrusion on the suspect’s liberty) and why did the officer do it (or what was the governmental interest at stake)? The Graham factors act like a checklist of possible justifications for using force. They are not a complete list and all of the factors may not apply in every case.
The Graham factors are the severity of the crime at issue; whether the suspect posed an immediate threat; and whether the suspect was actively resisting or trying to evade arrest by flight.
1. The Severity of the Crime The “severity of the crime” generally refers to the reason for seizing someone in the first place. Officer Connor may have been acting under a reasonable suspicion that Graham stole something. Arrests and investigative detentions are traditional, governmental reasons for seizing people. Generally, the more serious the crime at issue, the more intrusive the force may be.
There may be a reasonable basis for seizing someone who is not suspected of any wrongdoing. Reasonable force may be used to control the movements of passengers during a traffic stop.When executing a warrant in a home, reasonable force may be used to detain the occupants.The operative word under the Fourth Amendment is reasonableness. Reasonableness depends on the facts.
2. The Immediacy of the Threat Whether the suspect is an immediate threat to the safety of the officer or others is generally considered the most important governmental interest for using force. The greater the threat, the greater the force that is reasonable.
3. Actively Resisting Arrest Resisting an arrest or other lawful seizure affects several governmental interests. It may prevent the officer from effecting an arrest, investigating a crime, or executing a warrant. The Graham factors are not considered in a vacuum. Active resistance may also pose a threat.
4. Attempting to Evade Arrest by Flight Attempting to evade an arrest or other lawful seizure by flight frustrates some of the same governmental interests as resistance. Flight (especially by means of a speeding vehicle) may even pose a threat.
Looking at the factors -
Seriousness of the offense - against the officers
Immediacy of the threat - handcuffed suspect just refusing to sit down - against the officers
Actively resisting arrest - he was handcuffed-was not actively resisting more passively resisting - score this one as a toss up
Attempting to evade treat by flight - was not attempting to flee - against the officers

Where was it shown he was doing 105?
