They'll be out of their jobs shortly and they'll be lucky if Tyreek doesn't sue their asses as well.
Sue them for what? I am not sure he has any standing to sue for the Police exercising reasonable authority. You don't roll up the window in the Police officers face while he's giving you direction. For all he knows, you're getting out a firearm. After seeing the initial stop, it's clear that Mr Hill acted and chose poorly, and he got the business for it. [Reply]

"Reasonable authority" you say? I wonder what a court would say about that based on those videos.
Of course, the Miami-Dade Police would settle that case with him far before it ever got before a judge. [Reply]
Treating this incident like it belongs on Tyreek's (extensive) Reerun Greatest Hits album is mind boggling.
It will instead appear on these cops' internal records for disciplinary action from their superiors. They'll have to re-take de-escalation training and shuffle paperwork in an administrative role for a week or two, and the incident will forever appear in their files. [Reply]

The city would and that's only because juries in civil cases are unpredictable. You don't know what you're going to get, and the burden of proof is different.. But yeah...the police can drag you out of the car if they need to, probably better to be nice and respectful. [Reply]
All they had to do is say slow down and put your seatbelt on… Have a good game.. Maybe investigate the cops fantasy football league.. They were assholes.. [Reply]

Every other cop was acting pretty normal until tattoo cop storms in and completely blows up the situation. Unfortunately cops rarely ever reign in bad cops and it turns everything to shit. [Reply]
If they had reason to believe he was committing reckless driving, which he was cited for, they could have arrested him, impounded his vehicle, and detained him for processing. It seems a lot of people don't understand you can be arrested for reckless driving in many states and Florida is one of them. RD can be weaving in and out of traffic, excessive speeding, crossing a solid white line, in some cases impeding traffic. [Reply]
