    A cop having to open the door is the point where you’re getting out from behind the wheel of the car you wouldn’t shut off.

      Thought exercise: where is the line of justifiable behavior? If they shot him is that justified? If not, then there must be a line somewhere.

      But I can tell you it’s not a subjective thing, and the courts have ruled on things like this. Everyone has rights, even “Lil assholes” like Hill. I don’t care for him at all as a person. He might be a shitty guy, but everyone gets the same rights.

        The line has always been simple. If you feel you’re in the right, comply then, file charges later. Also, don’t be a dumbass. If you get pulled over for wreckers driving and speeding, don’t leave your loud ass car running, the window up, refuse to roll it down, refuse to open the door, and be a dick. If you act like you’re being dangerous, you’re going to be treated like you could be dangerous.

          the window up, refuse to roll it down, refuse to open the door, and be a dick.

          How did the cops get Hill out of the car then if he refused to roll down the windows or open the door? Hill was face down on the ground 62 second into the video, how did the cops get him to the ground so fast with the windows closed and doors locked?

            Are you commenting without even watching the video first? The door wasn’t locked and the cop used the handle and opened it himself…

              Did you watch it lol? Hill did in fact roll the window down and the door was locked when the officer on the left attempted to open the door. So either the Hill complied and unlocked it himself or the cop on the right reached in (the open window) and opened the door. If it’s the former, then Hill complied with every command he was given lol.

                Cop opens the door from the outside (while the window is cracked maybe 2" open) at 1:08 in the video. You got any other bullshit to make up?

                  At 1:03 the first cop attempts to open the door and it’s locked, at 1:08 door it is open. What happened in that 5 seconds?

                  It doesn’t matter how open the window is or isn’t, legally Hill doesn’t have to leave the window open after handing over his paperwork. Which brings up the question of why was he put in handcuffs in the first place? Can you explain that for me?
