    What if he wasn’t speeding, and didn’t dismiss dangerous civil behavior as something he should be allowed to pay 0.0001% of his net worth for and move on without consequence?

    We should be one of those countries where civil infraction penalties are calculated based on net worth.

    This seems like the closest we’ll ever get to “justice” on the guy who only isn’t in jail right now for beating the shit out of his pregnant girlfriend “because he’s Tyreek Hill”

      He got a speeding ticket…

      After he gave them his license he rolled up his window, which as far as I know, is 100% legal.

      Then he got drug out of his car and three dudes held him down on hot ass asphalt.

      You really think that’s acceptable? You’d be ok with it if you were speeding?

        I can understand the cop being concerned about having the window rolled up, those windows were extremely tinted and he wouldn’t be able to see what Hill was doing. But the cop went from 0 to 60 faster than Hill did. Hill did say he closed the window to keep people from taking pictures. But I bet it the officer asked him to roll it down just a bit Hill would have complied.

          It’s not the persons job to put the polices officers concerns above their own. During a traffic stop you only are required to give the police license, registration, and proff of insurance. Until the police tell you are being detained you can ignore them. The only things Hill did wrong in this situation was speeding and forgetting it’s always shut the fuck up Friday when dealing with the police. Give the police the documents, roll up the windows and wait for your ticket. We all know if the white owner of the dolphins was in the car and did the same things Hill did the situation would have ended differently.

            wrong! when the police give you a lawful order and you refuse to follow it, they are allowed to use force.

        He was acting like a completely entitled ass hat…

        Yelling about not knocking on the window over and over is like page 1 of the douchebag manual; Trying to start a fight over the most trivial thing.

        Then when he’s told to get out of the car, he ignores them and starts calling someone. What should the cops have done at that point?

        They were both assholes to some degree, but hill did everything possible to get that to happen
