Tyreek Hill detained on way to the game

[Eddy Munny]

Stop pretending that police officers are all ordained by God himself and bestowed superhuman degrees of compassion, patience, or empathy. They are tasked with very stressful jobs and encounter a wide variety of personalities on a daily basis, undoubtedly fearing for their own personal safety at times.

You have less than a million officers in a country with 333 million residents. I don't envy them at all.

My point is that Tyreek Hill could have easily put the entire incident to rest like any other ordinary citizen would have, but chose to see how far his "professional athlete" card could take him, and even threw down the race card for good measure. Shocking. Oppression? Lmao, more like privilege.

Just keep your window rolled the F down, get your ticket, and move on with your coddled life.

Tyreek is 99% to blame in this situation.

If their emotions prevent them from respecting our rights they are wrong and should not be cops.

Another interesting take from the radical government apologists: it's ok for the police to use violence because it's so hard for them to handle their emotions while on the job; but if anyone else ever doesn't handle their emotions the way you think they should, that gives the government permission to use violence against them.

The driver showed no respect whatsoever IMO. And with heavy tinted windows you don’t roll them up especially when asked not to.
The officer had every right to ask that the window stay down. That said, he seemed to lose patience very quickly and once he lost his cool, then temper, it was over.
My guess is the officer regrets that now. I don’t know if Tyreek does or not.

Both made mistakes IMO but Tyreek started it. Shame it happened but a little respect for a police officer would have most likely prevented all of it from happening.
That’s what I saw.

I think Hill said he regrets his actions too. But yeah respect the law don't roll up tinted windows.

I was hopeful he did but didn’t know.

Glad to hear that. Hope your right.

Those two shaking hands and both admitting they could have been better might go along way in todays world of hating cops and racism.
That could end up a win- win if played right. Might help someone else down the road.maybe even save a life. You never know.
Thanks EZ.

[Mac4Lyfe]

this guy in the video is only making a strong case against Hill. LOL.

Strong case against Hill? What? Did you watch the video? He broke down the facts, something you seem to miss. The cops did not follow protocol. Yep, Hill is still a dick... But, now let's see you still defend the bad cops.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Policemen enforce laws, they do not enforce being an asshat.
You have already made it clear that you desperately want the government to pass laws that require us to be nice. Neither Florida, nor the US has done that yet.
This means it was the policemen that intentionally violated their own training. But you expect the untrained person to be the one to apply appropriate de-escalation strategies.
Since 2000 there have been less than 200 non-covid officer deaths per year. About half of those are guns. That leaves less than 100 line-of-duty deaths for all other causes. I would guess less than 1 per year in most states and maybe 1 or 2 per year in larger states.

Dwight is getting body slammed in this thread. He seems to always be on the side of wrong.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Hill was speeding

DuhWHITE - Hill was not cited for speeding... You are wrong again.

And now Hill said publicly that he wants the cop fired. 27 years on the force. The cop has hired a lawyer. All this because a driver felt he was too special to have to deal with the police in a respectful manner after breaking the law by careless driving and failing to wear his seat belt.

[Mac4Lyfe]

that is a general statement and it would be hard to disagree with it. However, this doesn't apply here with what happened to hill. completely avoidable if rent a cops with hardons didn't act like they did and just did their jobs. simple.

fify

[DwightShrute]

Sad to say, but lucky the cop wasn't White.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Interesting that your ideology prevents you from accepting that it was also completely avoidable if the police didn't act like they did.
But because the police work for the government, their actions are excusable; because Hill was not subservient to the government, the radicals will continue to blame him.

Hammer don't hurt him...! I'm almost feeling sorry for Dwight. I'm ready to throw the white flag for him.


Tommie = Kamala Harris last night

Duhwhite = The Orange Turd. "They're eating our dogs".

[DwightShrute]

sometimes when I am alone, I go to the fridge and grab a pack of hotdogs. Chicken, pork, or beef. I don't matter. I like to see how many I can stick up my ass. I always keep my cell phone close by in case I need to call 9 1 1 like after that incident last year.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Who cares what color those phony cops were. Black, white, yellow, red, men, women, whatever cops can also be bad at their jobs too? There's a lot of very good cops out there. Only a few small percentage of assholes. Probably less than 0.5% But those dicks make it harder for other legitimate professional officers. We have to call out the bad apples and hold them accountable. I'm pretty sure this is not the first incident with that motorcycle crew.

I guess we have a different interpretation of subservient to the government. It sounds like you are hard core with all that stuff and that's fine. I get it. My point is that despite all that, we do live in a society. If you want to be treated with respect, then you should treat others with the same respect, regardless whether or not they work for the government or cleans you house.

His tint is not heavy and definitely legal in Florida.

and no. The officer does not have the right to ask the window stay down. That's not the law. And if you rewatch the video closely, the officer never said to roll your window ALL the way down. Hill did roll his window down about 1/4 of the way. The officer should have clearly said, roll your window all the way down but he never gave Hill time. Plus like I said there's no law that Hill has to have his window all the way down. Watch the video.

Get the fukk outta here. "Radical government apologists" is that last term that applies to me, so you can put that snazzy little buzz phrase back in your fukking pocket and try it on someone else.

Violence wasn't even applied. Reek was uncooperative up until the point that force was applied, and then suddenly had a change of heart when he realized his pro athlete card perks were no good here. It's no different than a brat kid who wants to see exactly how far he can push the envelope before he's met with consequences.

Just look at how much Reek wanted to play the victim when things got a lil spicy.

"HeY mAn, theSe GuYs iS BaNgin oN mY WiNdow LiKe ThEy CraZeeee....."

So that must be what happened then, correct lol?

What I saw was a cop knocking on Reek's window so he could speak to him, issue a ticket, and see if there were any other occupants, weapons, or general cause for concern. Do Lambo's come with a fukking doorbell or something? Seemed like a reasonable thing for any cop to do, as was insisting that it stay down, considering how dark the tint was.

You're just trying to shed a little mass media programmed white guilt. Don't worry, Tyreek has no idea who you are, doesn't give two shits about you or your family, and if you were getting roughed up on the side of the road would speed right by you without even a passing thought.

The only reason you pretend to care is because Tyreek gets paid millions to catch and run with a ball, and oh yeah, comes with the added bonus of being black... great detail for virtue signal artists.

If Joe Lunchbucket had behaved in a similar fashion, you wouldn't be able to muster a modicum of fake outrage.

Are you talking about Hill or the cops? We all have said that Hill was being a dick but for some reason you can't admit the cops were too??? Why? Are you that hell bent on protecting cops?

The cop comes up on Hill. I'm not even sure he had his lights on originally. Hill says "what you stopping me for". The cop says speeding. Hill tries to stop. The officer tells him to keep going. Hill keeps going and the cop then puts on his siren and beeps his siren. When Hill stops the officer bangs on his window then asks him "why don't you have your seat belt on". Hill says clearly, "Don't knock on my window like that". The officer says like what. Hill says again don't knock on my window like that. Hill has his window fully down, gives him his DL and insurance and the officer asks him again, why didn't he have on his seat belt WTF? Do your job. This cop is being a dick from the start. Hill was one too.

Ya, best thing you have ever said on this site as far as I am concerned. You could have thrown in, drive like everyone else and not like an entitled clown. The day would have went like this: Hill gets in his car drives the speed limit. He gets to the game and plays well. He celebrates with his teammates and family then goes to bed. None of this ever happens. But nope, he acts like a complete jackoff while driving and during the incident but then is a hero with the race bait clan. Totally ridiculous..

I'm all in on this.

Cops have a tough job. Those cops that are jerks make life tough on all cops. Of course, those that are jerks that drive like that and show no respect to others when they know they were speeding, make life tough on themselves.

IMO, both could have been better but like I said earlier, Tyreek started it. Never would have happened with a sir or even an "ok officer" in there somewhere.

Do on to others, right?

agree with your take STR. But have to say that the thin blue line is an issue. Having said that respect the law. However maybe in HIll's past he has cops that did not respect his individual rights? Who knows?

[Easy-Rider 66]

But overall HIll should have left the window down. That was a real bad move.

ok STR Looking at the big picture personally I like the police. The good cops. However some people may have different experinces with them for sure. I guess it is what it is?

[Mac4Lyfe]

Watch the video by the defense lawyer. He broke it down. The cops never said roll the window all the way down. Hill did roll the window down. Just not all the way down. The cops instructions were shitty.

You think? How many times do we need to see bad cops abusing citizens? Some cops routinely break the law and infringe on individual rights. These cops did it as well.

I had one bad experience with a cop but I don't hold all police accountable for that. Then again in some neighborhoods it might be systematic. But respect the law is how I approach the law. Tough world. the knife cuts both ways I guess.

Well sure, obeying the law goes without saying. But speeding happens. It happens all the time, and I'm just as guilty of it as the next guy. Sometimes you get caught, and sometimes you don't. But anytime I've gotten pulled over for a violation I KNEW I WAS GUILTY of, I tried to make the whole process as painless as possible. I tried to make the officer's job as easy as possible, even if I sensed a bit of unwarranted attitude coming from the guy.

Tyreek was the opposite. He played the part of a spoiled athlete who's rarely told "no" in his life. He just figured his status would save him, and in the event that it didn't, he could always identify as a victim or cry "racism" and the mob would rush to his defense.

These people crying about the letter of the law and what it has to do with his window being down are just agonizingly splitting hairs to buttress their fragile position.

Reek should learn to pick his battles. Having your window up or down is nothing to go to war over.

You wanna make your life a living hell? Throw a fit over every trivial detail because your ego compelled you to do so. Or just leave the window down because it pacifies the officer's concerns, whether you feel they are justified or not. It's another human being making a simple request with zero net loss on your part for compliance.

Memo to Reek: Just let the "peasant" fulfill his peasant duties so you can get back to your privileged millionaire lifestyle.

Little baby is so pampered that he actually believed "speeding with immunity" was somewhere in his contract. I mean it has to be... He scores touchdowns for fukk's sake. Don't the police know this?

I wonder if FAILT is a typo, or a clever mashup of fail and fault

[stevenash]

I hate to generalize but some of the cops down south still have that good old boy attitude.
Ally has family property in stinking rich Myrtle Beach, I see the change in cops' attitudes firsthand once we pass Washington DC going south on the I95.

"Driving While Black" is still a problem down there.
Here, just 20 minutes south in Greenwich there's a (no I am not kidding) "Driving While White" problem.
Cops in Greenwich will check you out if you're the wrong shade of white.

All in all, a no police state in the US would not work.
