He acted like a low class ghetto thug.
Nothing more.
Okay. He is a jackass. Pure and simple. I like the Hodge Twins. They are right. He escalated everything.
When you get pulled over, no matter what race, color, or creed you are, you should act the same.
As soon as you are stopped, roll down your window.
Then, retrieve your license and registration and have it ready.
Keep your hands at the 10-2 positions on the wheel.
When the LEO addresses you, answer the questions.
This isn’t knuckling under to police oppression. You are acknowledging that they are there to enforce the law, and that your adherence to the law in their eyes is possibly in violation.
We get the same people all the time who are going to reflexively side with the LEOs. And we get the same people all the time who reflexively side with the person regardless.
I don’t know anything about this case other than that he is a famous athlete. And watching that body cam footage, I don’t know what the speed limit was, but the jerk was going a lot faster than the ambient traffic flow when he went by.
And then I watched the ending after writing this, and he is saying he didn’t do anything wrong. Just wow. If that had been you or me, we wouldn’t have walked away from that. We would have been in the back of a cruiser, our car towed.
What a jackass.
I’m generally a back the police by reflex guy.
Watch the videos. The only thing Tyreek did wrong was not roll the window back down on the first knock.
I was pulled over in south Florida 2 months ago. The heat is oppressive and the cop didn’t care that I put my window up after he took my license.
There are a ton of red flags here:
1) they leaked that he was going 103 in a 40. No speeding citation. Actual citation says visual estimate of 60.
2) you can’t go 60 anywhere near that stadium pre or post game. It’s a stupid claim. I haven’t seen that video yet
3) you can see stop and go traffic with a temporary merge in the video. 60 mph?
4) they knew who he was based on his plates. He wasn’t a flight risk, gun risk or anything else
5) why were 5 motorcycles behind his car before they even approached? Ever had more than one? I haven’t
6) the aggression was round rage like. It was like a switch flipped. And then he talked shit “stop crying”. Not professional at all
7) they pick him up handcuffed, then ask him to sit. He’s says something like “hold on hold on I just had knee surgery.” My take is that it’s hard to sit on the ground without hands and he wanted to be slow. So the same cop choke holds him and takes him down to the ground, again taking shit “what a coincidence you must have had ear surgery too because you were confused before”
8) two players pull up because they see tyreek face down with a knee in his back. They aren’t aggressive. They ask what’s going on. Both players are treated VERY AGGRESSIVELY. One, a Walter Payton man of the year truly good guy gets cited.
Now I grew up in Ft Lauderdale. And I worked at Royal Caribbean for 10+ years at a high level in/near miami. I love old school Cubans. But I have a serious question about these cops.
They all have thick Cuban accents. Why are we hiring people as cops that grew up in an authoritarian Cuban regime where cops have absolute power?
At least two of those guys went full throttle unhinged given the situation.
Again Tyreek didn’t handle it like I would, but it wasn’t grossly out of bounds. It all escalated with his window staying up too long after the cop started to walk away and came back. I know his windows are way too tinted, but again they knew who he was. He wasn’t going to shoot them over a speeding ticket.
It all spiraled out of control because of the cops, not in spite of them
He is just the typical NFL player...
He lied on national television: “I have no idea why they cuffed me and had me in the ground.”
Dumbass.
Hill is a thug with a 10-year record of legal problems and encounters with law enforcement. He strangled and punched his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach, broke the arm of his 3 y/o son, broke the leg of another girlfriend, and choked & battered a man who objected to Hill’s presence on a private boat dock. The scene with police on Sunday is just another black mark on his record. Feral animal.
first thing I notice is, he passed a bunch of cars. Second thing I noticed is, his driver window is ‘down’. You can see the front windshield thru the car. When he stops tho, the window goes up.
$ is funny
Scum bag
Hmmm... Which one of Chris Rock's 'tips' did Hill not follow?
I love how all the Freepers who saw cops during the lockdowns - pulling people out of their houses for “congregating”, arresting people for not wearing masks, closing parks, preventing people from visiting their loved ones in hospitals, arresting people for speaking out at school board meetings, etc... go right back to “back the blue” and “police are always right”.
There is no law so depraved and evil that cops wouldn’t enforce it...including the murder of children.
The cops never should have stopped that car. No good could ever come out of it.
