re: Tyreek Hill allegedly arrested pregame - UPDATE agent says he will play

Apparently this idiot hasn’t seen the footage of the highway patrol officer that returned to give the driver back his license and the dude opened fire with a rifle killing the officer in seconds. It takes a few seconds to roll your window down to keep everyone at ease during a traffic stop.

Hahahaha.


Its fricking tyreek hill literally outside the stadium.

Its fricking tyreek hill

Yea, exactly. A charged and pleaded guilty violent offender

It's always funny to see people demand everyone but the actual Police or Law Enforcement to be accountable for their actions

Ironically, Miami Dolphins statement only talks about police mistakes but doesn’t make one mention of Hill breaking the law. Where is his accountability?

Then it says “against these players”. Where were other players involved?

And this: “we also urge them to take equally swift and strong action against the officers who engaged in such despicable behavior.” Where is their (the team owners) swift action on lawbreaking Hill?

Grandstanding: “We will stand beside Tyreek and our players as they work to use their platform and this situation to make a positive impact in our community.” Tyreek was making a great positive impact by speeding thru coned street and not obeying police orders.

See how that works.

Not allow someone time to get out of his car and use force to take a nonviolent offender out of his vehicle?

Yes. Once Hill did not follow the lawful orders of keeping his window down the officers had every legal right to remove him from the vehicle

Found the Florida statute

quote:

---

Florida Statute 316.072(3), the crime of Disobeying a Lawful Order of Police is committed when a person willfully fails or refuses to comply with the lawful order or direction of a police

---

Keep your window down is a lawful request. Hill didn’t comply 3 times with that request

someone may have mentioned this, but as a completely separate point, why is Hill driving himself to the game?

i woulda thought that the vast majority of pro athletes are driven to games by professional drivers, so that they could either watch film along the way, make calls, meditate, etc. Hell, just grab an uber

what's the point of driving a sports car to a stadium and attracting negative attention, and speeding thru a construction zone?

If Hill was running a 4.65 and not producing, the Dolphins would be singing a different tune.

Hill:

Scottie:

I’d say the biggest difference here is that the body cam footage for Hill has already come out, whereas Scottie’s never really did.

Scottie Scheffler also did not respond to the officer’s request immediately (although that guy did not properly identify himself) so he got pissed and took Scottie out of the car. That’s really the main difference here. The officer in Hill’s case identified themselves, but both were obviously on power trips after their original request was ignored.

Again, yes, it would be easier if the original request was complied with, but I do believe cops should be held to a higher standard than everyone else and someone not listening isn’t a proper reason to tackle someone. Once he was out of the car, Hill appeared to comply, but the one officer’s feelings were still hurt so he reacted in turn. Not a good look.

Hill

Released with a traffic ticket as the cops used common sense

Scottie

Arrested and charged with a felony

There truly isn’t much to be upset with in the hill case. There really isn’t.

The Scottie case is actually terrifying.

It’s unfortunate that law enforcement seems to attract these types. There is clear blame to be laid on both parties here, but the bottom line is that the whole thing was unnecessary.
