Tyreek Hill also wasn't being smart in the way that was handled.

Why is it that we have to cater to the ppl in the wrong? Give him his ticket and go. Plus there was already another officer before captain tiny dick showed up who confirmed he had no weapons in the car and according Hill keep the entire situation calm. Fuck him. You want respect you have to give respect

Asshole cop vs asshole citizen is what the video showed. I'm far from a cop lover but I can see how it feels on the other side of a rolled up window where you can't see what's going on and the person inside's being non-compliant. Don’t fuck around and talk shit while rolling up your tinted window when a cop pulls you over. People in this country are strapped up. Especially in a concealed carry state like Florida that is full of insane people. Cops are on edge for a reason when they’re doing a traffic stop. If I did what Tyreek Hill did, I'd fully expect to be asked to step out or pulled out of my car

There have been 18 year olds in active warzones that practice more restraint. If you're that scared of being shot than don't be a fucking cop. Like I said there was another cop before that asshole showed up who keeps the entire situation calm for everyone. Hill only started acting like an asshole when the cop started behaving like an asshole.

the job of being a cop in the united States actively filters for cowards and power hungry losers. Holding undue power over others is literally the only attractive aspect of the job, so of course it will attract nothing but the worst type of people

If they are so scared of every interaction, maybe being a cop is the wrong profession for them. It's real easy to not treat civilians like shit.

But the guy breaking the law was in the wrong? Yes he's going to get a ticket but he rudely rolls up the tinted window while the cop is still talking. Hill was clearly disrespectful first and antagonistic throughout.
