Current Events > Any of you seen the Tyreek Hill arrest video? Who do you think

(+) Yeah! (+)

Was mostly in the right, though? Did the police not want to release the body cam video though?

No

Cops escalated. He was getting out when they grabbed him. I watched it yesterday but I think you see him take off his seat belt and lean forward a split second before cops start dragging him out. Also they got really aggressive at bystanders. They threaten to arrest the passengers of a car because it parked nearby

I think everyone handled it poorly. Tyreek handled it poorly by seemingly ignoring the police. Police handled it poorly by then going from 0 to 100 - Im not exactly sure why they suddenly forced him down (around when he started yelling about having surgery on his knee).

Then when the other person pulled over, he handled it poorly by not listening to the police when they told him to not stay pulled over on the side of the road (it appeared to be a highway). And then the one cop on the left went from 0-100 on that guy. And the two police were giving him conflicting instructions - one saying to leave, the other saying to give him his license.

Seems like an altercation of people feeling like they are too important to listen to the police, and police who feel like they needed to whip their dicks out as soon as they could.

The cops were very obviously in the wrong for the massive escalation. Tyreek gave them his ID, asked for a ticket. But accidentally set off the cop's fuse by rolling up his window, which the cop interpreted as an unforgivable act of disrespect.

It's crazy how we're at a point where you need to be excessively polite, cordial, and obedient to a cop and if you're not then people will say you deserved it when they assault you. The people defending the police treat cop interactions like you walked into a cage of feral gorillas, and you can't look them in the eyes for too long or make any sudden movements or they'll interpret it as an act of aggression and rip your face off. And then somehow don't see the problem with that. So desensitized to police assault that they totally forgot the part where the police are supposed to be the ones trained in de-escalation and helping people. They argue that their job is so much harder than it looks because they deal with such stressful and scary situations all the time, and yet again and again cops are the ones escalating innocuous situations into brawls completely unprompted.

And the weird parts here is Tyreek is an absolutely terrible person and his domestic assaults get brushed under the rug far too much because he's probably the best receiver in the world right now. And yet he's still far and away the docile one in the footage.

Cops are wrong as usual.

That Tyreek guy seems like an asshole though but I don't think he did anything wrong. Cops just abusing their authority to arrest people. Being rude ain't illegal.
