My daughter is a sheriff's deputy so I'm definitely an LE apologist, but I'm not sure how anyone can defend the actions here. Tyreek was obviously being a douche, but the escalation of everything multiple times by the one officer in particular is the reason the situation has become what it is. That was bad form and his actions are the egregious turn of a poor situation into a very bad one for everyone. He is obviously the type of LE officer people are trying to force changes over.

That all being said, from the officers' (in general) perspectives they deal with stops routinely that spin out of control very quickly once they see the party is noncompliant. Their immediate instinctive reaction is typically to take command of the situation... Some just take it too far.

I was caught speeding just this past week. 89 in a 65 trying to get around a truck driving in the left lane spilling rocks on the road. I was in the right lane.Officer was using laser gun. I saw he got me and immediately pulled over even before he had a chance to move his bike. He said the normal "do you know why I stopped you"? I responded "technically I stopped for you" He laughed. I told him I was trying to get around that rock truck. He asked for the normal info and I volunteer I have a concealed carry permit and a gun in my backpack and needed to retrieve my license out of the back pack. He responded "no problem". Did the normal "please slow down" and gave me a ticket for 5 mph over. Zero points if I pay it before the court date. I was respectful and did not make him chase me down.

And yet you continue to participate in this community of racists. Why is that? Are you a closet racist?

Go fuck yourself.

This! I actually don't think Tyreek was as defiant/combative as some are claiming. He handed over his info and basically asked for his ticket. At that point, the officer should stop asking questions that Tyreek is not required to answer.

However, Tyreek needs to realize his likely illegal tint makes him susceptible to this at any time. So when the cop pulls you over, you are already in the wrong, and when asked to roll down the window, simply do so. That is the part that escalated the situation which Tyreek is solely responsible for.

Looks like cops on a power trip to me. I don't think you are required to have your window all the way down. And then the one was angry and even tackled Tyreek and then almost did it again while he was just standing. That guy does not need to have that kind of authority.

Must have left it on the operating table while getting that recent knee surgery. Which brings up some other questions.

It's interesting how he seems to act as if he needs to sit down like a grandma because of that surgery then proceeds to go out run routes, make cuts, jump around and runs as fast as he can.

I don't remember it ever being reported in the media that Tyreek had surgery. When was it? Should it have been reported to the league?

The officers were aggressive after he rolled his window back up and didn't answer the LEO's questions...but they didn't escalate. They were aggressive and Hill started immediately complying. Escalating here would actually be drawing a weapon with the intent to imply or threaten deadly force in the context that people are using the word.

Look, I get that seeing someone dragged form their car is jarring and upsetting, but escalation is not really the right word.
[Reply]

I don't think this is an issue if his windows weren't tinted considering he was complying. Again do not blame the officer for being on edge but it could easily have been a mistake and not being intentionally defiant. I don't know what the point of being defiant would be when he already gave him his id and told him to do what he needed to do

I can't recall the last time someone was rude to a waiter and the end result was being thrown on the ground, handcuffed, or shot.
[Reply]

The cops are so in the wrong here. Not even close.
[Reply]

Does a waiter have a legal right to do that in their job? I can't recall seeing that in any job descriptions for a waiter position.
