Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill was detained by police today entering the stadium for a driving violation, per his agent Drew Rosenhaus. But Rosenhaus said Hill will play today.
Really poor behavior by all parties involved.
Cops needed to be more professional in this situation IMO. There was no reason to let this escalate to this level. [Reply]

Dude, there is nothing to indicate race had anything to do with this. Sure, you can make assumptions. But you know what they say about that.
There is no evidence to support race had anything to do with the officers' actions. So, let's leave that out of the discussion for the time being. [Reply]

I don't think he's saying the cops are racist, I think he's saying the people defending the cops actions are racist. [Reply]

It's a good philosophy in general and it can get you out of legal problems.
Tyreek cause the initial escalation when he was speeding, and then escalated again by rolling his window up, and then escalated again by complaining about the window and not sitting down when told, etc. You fight that battle later if you need to.
The second cop escalated by dragging him out of the car and dragging him down on the pavement. The cop may have a legal right to do so if the citizen is being non-compliant, but it's obvious that the cop had an attitude. He was escalating by insulting Tyreek about crying and by generally being a jerk.
Agree with the first part. But you think Tyreek was being compliant???LOLOLOL [Reply]

I always think about how this officer handled this lady and I think he handled it like I would have. This was way worse than what Tyreek did.

How about we have a higher standard for people in positions of power? I expect cops to act like professionals and not like some emotional bully. [Reply]
