    Out of control racist pieces of shit cops. That’s all true.

    Also, separately and not related to this incident, Hill is a piece of shit human being.

      Yup. There’s no need to argue at all. Just stop the guy, give them the ticket and move on. If a guy is too angry to deal with, so be it. It’s not like talking louder or dragging him out is going to fix whatever happened 5 seconds ago that made the cop stop the driver. Just stop being racist pieces of shit cops, that’s all we ask for.

        Moreover, you now have their plate, which has their address on it. Mail the damn ticket if you’re scared to deal with it in person or whatever.

          Exactly! Get that license plate real good and high tail it out of there. No need to stay and make a bunch of kids miss their dad for a lifetime. Fucking get some doughnuts at the Wendy’s and leave people alone!

              It’s good for them to waste time too. What now doughnuts?! No sir! If you want doughnuts you’ll have to drive over to the DMV and wait in line (Doughnut Manufacturer & Vendor).

    If I, as a teacher, responded to a less-than-compliant, and upset student by even lightly putting my hand on them I would be fired and charged that day. Police, if we are going to have them at all, need to be able to handle this kind of situation without resorting to violence. Period.

      Then we need to stop hiring conservatives as police. Normal (non-conservative) people don’t behave this way, cops or not.

    Sounds like they served and protected the crap out of him. This is what we now expect from our public servants 🤷

      Now? Police have been treating people this way since forever. Especially minorities.

    Cops have an impossible job. Everyone has a gun, so it would be stupid of them to assume he wasn’t armed, which is why they ask you to keep your window rolled down. All he had to do was keep his window rolled down for the traffic stop, which is not an unreasonable request, but it was one he deliberately disobeyed. Instead, he acted out, so they treated him like a delinquent. There are actual victims of police overreach that will never know publicity like this. People who did everything asked of them and still suffered. Tyreek acted like a petulant child “how dare they give ME a speeding ticket!?” so they treated him like one. This is a nothing burger.

    I have no problem at all with rich pieces of shit getting treated like the scumbags they are.

    I’m at work and can’t watch the video. Why’d they pull him out violently? Was there some struggle beforehand, or did the cop just decide to be an asshole?

    and what was the outcome? Was he arrested? Let go?

      The guy rolled up his window when the cops were talking to him. Any normal person would have spent the night in jail if they did the same, and then they would be paying to get their car out of impound, and then maybe their license would have been suspended too.

      I’m not saying what they did is right, i’m saying cops in this country are assholes. That’s what we expect them to be. That’s what the policies ask them to be. That’s what their bosses want. It’s what the elected officials who set the laws and guidelines they must follow want. It’s what most very old white people want.

      We need real change, we just won’t see it in our lifetime. We’d sooner see another dictator trying to conquer the world and committing genocidal acts than do anything to address the police problem here. Nowadays cops are just legalized bullies, just the way the ownership wants.

    I feel really sorry for this guy

    What kind of unhinged parents call their kid Tyreek?
