Tyreek Hill body-cam video from Miami-Dade Police. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Am I right?

[JoeB131]

Actually both sides escalated it. I think once the tape is reviewed completely, both sides are going to want this to go the hell away.

Not really.

The onus on the cops is to act like professionals.

They didn't.

On the other hand, our celebrities have a sense of entitlement that we give them.

The cops are so screwed on this one.

The onus is on both parties. Also let's see if his driver window is legal for tint.

Again, I think both sides want this one to go away.

 

[SweetSue92]

Police tell you t keep the window down, do it.

I knew there was more to this than people initially claimed. Just silly to not keep his window down.

He should have rolled the window down, clearly.

BUT

Bad police work here. Too quick off the trigger, no pun intended. Not removed enough. It happens, but it's not okay

 

[justoffal]

Neither is treating a citizen with courtesy.

It was a seatbelt violation. You didn't need four cops to deal with a seatbelt violation.

Agree...

 

[justoffal]

Overreaction by the police.

My guess is they already knew who he was.

 

[GWV5903]

Because you were white?

Because I didn’t act stupid

Check your privilege, buddy.

Privilege? You obviously have no clue who I am, you assume a lot of things, clarifies why you are so wrong about things

Of course, Hill acted like an ass, too. He should have immediately complied with all instructions, and if the police still acted like asses

Bingo!! Ding, ding, ding!!

THEN you file a complaint about racial profiling, which is certainly what this was.

Hispanic officers are now classified as racist perps, you need to get out of your bubble

Nope. Hill is the victim of police misconduct. That makes him a hero in his community.

The cops are sooooo screwed here.

Hey fncceo ...yer a cop. Does a window have to be all the way down, or can it be opened just wide enough to pass over papers?

(Just to solve this riddle since its being argued the window does not have to be all the way down.)

In Florida - all the way down. I posted the link last night. It's a safety issue.,

 

[Rawley]

One question is how much tint did the windows have. If the cop can't see you with the window up, the whole rule thing about only having to roll down your window a bit goes out the window.

Plenty of people have an illegal amount of tint on their windows.

Particularly in FLorida

 

[MarathonMike]

If you are disobeying the law and get pulled over, the cop has every right to make you open the window.

The weird thing was Tyreek had the window open and was talking to the Cop and then he closed it while the Cop was still trying to talk to him. That's basically saying F* Off which is what led to the take down and cuffs. I do think the Cops went over the top but as often happens, it starts with ignoring instructions or being combative.

 

[drudge X]

So this loser was caught speeding and didn't want to roll his window down. What if he has a gun and police cannot see through the tinted window. This mofo is now a hero to blacks. Unbelievable.

Contempt of Cop is not a crime requiring the use of physical force.

The cops overreacted.

And one has to question what would have happened if he hadn't been a famous football player.

Hill is a contributor to a shit situation that the cop is also a contributor. I want to know the violation he was pulled over for, and how tinted his windows were.

This is Miami, not some Ozark town, these cops are used to pulling over well off rich minorities.

 

[martybegan]

Particularly in FLorida

NYC is rife with it as well, from Asians driving souped up Accords, to wanna be ganstas with their escalades, to WASP-y upper east siders in their BMW's,

 

[justoffal]

Asking the police to act professionally is "neutralizing" them?

Here's the thing. They assumed a black man driving an expensive car probably stole it, and they approached him like he was a perp.

Seriously, four motorcycle cops to deal with a SEAT BELT violation?

They knew who we was

I clearly stated the cops overreacted. Tyreek created the conflict by CLOSING his window while the Cop was still talking to him. That is obvious disrespect and ignoring instructions. Why do you bleeding hearts always blame the Cops?

 

[progressive hunter]

Hill could have easily avoided confrontation, if he rolled the window down and had the slightest ounce of respect, nothing happens

The officer had a short fuse, if Hill showed the slightest amount of respect, nothing escalates, the last thing you do is haul ass down the street, not the highway and then have a attitude, he acted like a punk. I have questioned officers that pulled me over, but I respected their request, guess what, it never escalated…wonder why….

how about,,,, now hear me out,,

how about the cop beings he swore an oath to protect our rights NOT BEAT A GUY UP BECAUSE HIS FUCKINNG FEELINGS GOT HURT and violate his rights??

now thats just an idea I had

everytime you talk you prove what a stupid cock sucker you are,,

he was speeding,,

 

[progressive hunter]

If a police officer cannot see inside a vehicle, for their own safety, they can give a lawful direction to roll down the windows.

In any case a police officer can give a lawful order for a person to exit his vehicle and it is an offence, obstructing an investigation, not to comply.

no they cant,,

they can however ask them to get out of the car,, and he did try to get out of the car but the cops had a different idea,,VIOLENCE

 

[Fang]

Stunning how many people can't put themselves in the cop's shoes for a minute. Traffics stops aren't routine as cops have no idea what state of mind the driver is in or if they have a weapon. They have to be able to assess the situation which includes seeing inside the car. Tyreek was completely uncooperative and totally escalated the situation. Tyreek doesn't role his window down and when he does he chastises the cop for knocking on his window, which the cop HAS TO DO. The real issue starts when Tyreek roles the tinted window back up. The cop is now in high alert as to what is happening. No issue with how the cops handled this. Their safety matters also.
