A police officer dragged Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill out of his car and then forced him face first on to the ground during a traffic stop

This should be a boon for attracting top talent to Florida!
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.
Related to this incident. You know what I do when I get pulled over? Shut my car off and roll the window down. If it’s at night I’ll also turn on the dome light.
This guy keeps his loud ass sports car running, has dark tint on the windows, and won’t put his window down at all so the cops can see him, or what he’s doing. He was being an asshole the entire stop.
None of which is illegal nor worth a beating.
I’m glad that you enjoy grabbing ankle for every cop you smell.
Why make a stressful situation worse? They didn’t know him or what he was going to do behind the wheel of a running car.
He handed the cop all the paperwork he needed for the stop 10 second into the video and Hill told the cop to right him a ticket before he rolled up his window. So the cops knew exactly what Hill wanted, which was his ticket so he could go on with his day.
After reading this comment I’ve come to the conclusion he got what he deserved and it’s okay for cops to abuse their power as long as they guy isn’t acting civilized.
What abuse? You’re allowed to put cuffs on someone who won’t step out of a running vehicle.
Was he tackled down? Tazed? Punched? Beaten? Bleeding? Pepper sprayed?
Why are you being hostile to me when I’m agreeing with you? Don’t show proper respect to agent of the state = slap them in cuffs, throw them on the ground, lock them up for however long needed to teach the animals respect for authority.
Its so strange you’re reacting negatively to us agreeing with one another
Teach the animals respect for authority.
People like you are why I own guns.
I hope you are better with the guns than you are at reading comprehension
Yeah I’m leaving this one here as a reminder on how to read sarcasm, because I’m bad at that over text. Though I probably shoulda known better considering the sub we’re in.
He was compliant literally the second they opened his unlocked door. Why do they need to dogpile him?
No he wasn’t.
We can see the video. The literal second they open his unlocked door he tells them he’s getting out. They drag him out anyways. Then they dog pile him and he lets them do whatever they want to him. After he’s cuffed they control him with one officer and nothing more severe than a tap on his shoulder.
They absolutely escalated the situation beyond where it needed to be.
Youre right. You can see the video. He’s told four or five times to get out of the car before it was opened by the cop. Then Hill says he’s getting out, but doesn’t actually move to get out. Until he’s quasi pulled out, but the cops didn’t give a whole lot of time on that part. Saying you’re going to do something, but not actually doing it is something I even run into a lot as an emt. We just never escalate the situation with any force unless there isn’t another option and the person is in a situation where they legally have to go to the hospital. Cops are usually much less patient, but they deal with a different portion of the public a lot of times.
Bottom line is that the cops may have been assholes or not, but Hill wasn’t doing anything to try and keep the stop calm or civil. He was being a dick. Just like he’s been a dick all his life, right back to punching and choking his pregnant girlfriend back in college and all the way on up. Then having the gull to tell some Mexican cops that they pulled him over because he was black and in a nice car, like playing the race card is supposed to work against a hispanic dude.
62 second from the start of the video to when Hill is on the ground. All because he hurt the cops feelings, they got some real sensitive cops down in Florida lol.

His window was actually down. He rolled it back up after telling them to go write the ticket because he’s going to be late. Definitely some entitlement but he was compliant in every other respect.
I unbuckle my belt and assume the posture
I got a no seatbelt ticket for unbuckling it before he got to my window once. I was parked in a parking lot too. That cop was an asshole.
He wasn’t talking about a seatbelt…
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!
Wendy’s doesn’t have doughnuts, just sayin’.
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).
VOTE!!!
For what in this case exactly? Dems and GOP both gargle cop cock. You think it’ll change?

Sometimes, just sometimes, this is accurate. Read my comment history if you question my allegiance. That said, nuance and distinction prove to be a dead art.
The dead is not arguing with someone online.

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.
Not that you’re not into something here, but make no mistake. Liberal cops are worthless parasites too.
Those people have no interest in being cops.
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.
Video Link:
Fuck the police. And fuck Miami/Dade police extra hard in particular. Their corruption is in competition with NYC and L.A.
Video shows Hill was being a Lil asshole. Who gets pulled over and thinks it’s OK to keep your tinted window up and your loud ass sports car running?
His window is up for 17 seconds before he opens it again. At no point did anyone ask him to turn his car off. 62 second from when the cops get off their motorcycles to start the stop to when Hill is on the ground.
I’m not going to defend Hill’s actions as correct, but if someone is an asshole do the police get to do anything they want?
Hard to justify him getting pulled onto the ground, knelt on, and handcuffed.
If he didn’t want to open the window (and I’ve already heard everything about how maybe they couldn’t see inside so it was a safety hazard - fine) - doesn’t opening the door solve the entire problem? The door was open. Shouldn’t that have been all the escalation of this situation that was required?
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…
Agreed! If you don’t Bend Over Backwards and treat cops with the UTMOST RESPECT they have EVERY RIGHT to VIOLENTLY ASSAULT or even KILL YOU! EVEN if what they’re asking you to do is Illegal or Deadly!

If he did get shot it might bring some meaningful change. Probably for reasons more like slavery than police causing bodily harm or death, but at this point it’s progress I guess.
Sounds like the cop tried rigging a sports bet

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.
Hill was being a punk and rolled his window up on them. One of them roid raged out and yoinked him out of the car. I think they figured out who he was (probably thought he was a drug dealer based on him being black and the nice sports car) and gave him his traffic tickets and let him go.
He provided the paperwork they required from him and chose not to continue the conversation. When asked to step out of the car he complied and was thrown to the ground. He is not required to speak to them so why is he a punk?
He did not comply. I watched the video and you’re full of shit that he complied about stepping out of the vehicle. He also kept his car running instead of shutting the engine off.
What legal command didn’t he comply with to get put in handcuffs? Is he legally required to turn his car off? Did the officers ask him to turn his car off?
He hands the officer his paperwork at 0:10 closes his window at 0:26 in the video and opens the car window at 0:43 his door is opened at 0:56 he’s on the ground at 1:02. It took the police 62 second to conduct the stop assess that he’s a threat and take him to the ground. I know he’s fast on the field but come on lol

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.
Agreed! Even though it’s a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to Have a Gun Police have EVERY RIGHT TO VIOLENTLY ATTACK US BECAUSE WE HAVE GUNS!
FREEDOM!
This is how you would treat a petulant child? Someone needs to make sure you never have access to children.
There’s no law that that a cop can order you to roll your window down. This was needlessly escalated by the cop for no reason other than ego.
You got some black polish on your lip, there.
Scumbag.
What’s your favorite flavor of boot polish?
