This is not against the law.

Tyreek acted like a fool, not surprisingly. And his actions certainly make it more likely for an altercation to occur. But cops should be trained to handle that better.

No real or physical harm occurred to Tyreek, but that also does not mean they didn't overreact. The 1 cop was losing his mind out there lol.



Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but once Tyreek rolled down the window and gave the dude his license, and the cop started to walk away, there should be no issues with Tyreek rolling his window back up. That seems pretty normal, I've done it before as well. Granted, I wasn't acting like a fool from the moment I started conversing with the cop, but that goes back to the training part and how they need to handle it better, but I've 100%, heck maybe every single time, rolled my window back up once the Cop leaves with my license/registration to go back to his patrol car.

Hill escalated by not complying. Is the cop just supposed to say “oh well” and leave?

No

He’s supposed to tell Tyreek, after Tyreek cracks the window AFTER already doing everything he’s supposed to and hanging over ID and shite, “hey man, neither of us want to be here. You’re getting a speeding ticket and I really need that window down buddy. It’s simply too dangerous to have the windows up this high when they’re tinted like this. If you can’t keep the window down, I’m going to have to get ya out and sit you by my car while I run your license. Let’s just get out of here quickly so please keep that down man.”


Tyreek 100% complies. He was complying already. He was just showing a little tude, maybe a 2 out of 10.


What the cop did was completely chicken shite. “If you don’t roll it down now I’m going to have to drag you out.”


.0000002 seconds later, “nvm get out now.”

That’s bullshite.


But whatever



Hill gets out.



The cops start in on him as he’s 10000000% complying with the new command.


We’ve all seen the rest.



Terrible policing.

Any human can be dangerous

Thought Hill did some really dumb shite to get arrested and was ready to say he deserved it, but those cops are on insane ego trips in that video. They’re in the wrong on this one. Hill had an attitude sure, but didn’t warrant that overreaction.
The cop with the hand tats looks like a gang member wtf

The question is, how far are they allowed to go to do so. It's certainly not however far they want to, we know they can go overboard.

I agree

I believe asking for a blacked out window to be rolled completely down is so very reasonable as well as zero harm or difficulty to the citizen that it doesn’t come a Grand Canyons distance from crossing that threshold

The only officer action we should be talking about is from the one officer doing Johnny leg sweeps outside the vehicle. His actions are completely worthy of discipline

But all in all Hill is the most to blame in this altercation and he received zero harm and only a traffic citation so his “victim” status is ludicrous

Not disagreeing Hill is a pos, but those two cops are on insane ego trips.

Completely agree

Hill could have and I'd go as far as saying he should have handled it better, and that would have lessened the chances of the next thing that happened, but I don't know that he was against his rights to do that.

I can go into the lower 9th ward any time I want, Friday night at 2am...I'm well within my rights to do that. That does not mean I should do that :lol;


But also, either way, the cops overreacted. It can all be true, or have lots of truth to it...both sides handled this poorly. But I'm not sure Tyreek did anything legally wrong. Maybe he did, I'm just not sure(other than the obvious speeding or whatever they pulled him over for)

Why does he have to talk to Hill like he’s a 6yr old though? Is asking for your window to be rolled down some crazy request that needs a detailed explanation?
