I think I know why the office has been suspended after arresting Miami Dolphin’s Tyreek Hill…

no. but, the cops were way too juiced up in this scenario. again, the cops took no opportunities to compose themselves. 1 cop got riled up and the rest just followed suit. which unfortunately seems to be the common response more often than not.W said:
is Tyreek a sympathetic figure?
I mean, think how great it would be to brag in your old age that you once made an open-field tackle on Tyreek Hill in his prime.Ag_07 said:
You don't think they knew it was Tyreek?
They had to have run his plates before he was lit up. Look at all the cops there already before they even approach the car. They don't all show up like that for a routine traffic stop.
Then to tackle him onto the ground after he's in handcuffs. These cops especially the one power tripping big time need to fired.
pretty sure I heard one of the cops say "it's Tyreek" on the body cam footage.Ag_07 said:

Tyreek is not required to keep his window down. I get why the cops want him to do so, and I appreciate the reasons why. I would say Tyreek started this. But, the cops certainly were way too amped up. As Lance Zierlein said on the radio, there was no attempts to de-escalate the situation. It was just one escalation after another. The cops have to control themselves.
I agree with that, but damn, why would anyone want to be a cop these days? I mean, it's to the point where a large percentage of the population don't respect you, think they know you're job better than you, actively do things they know are going to antagonize you into making a mistake, assume that your sole point in life is harass them, and create groups who's sole purpose is to lobby for reduced funding for your organization. And throughout that expects you to be polite to them. Forgot that some of those in the population want to kill you.amercer said:
I get the "just do what the cops say and it will be fine"
But we've got to hold cops to higher standards than that.

"I will say I could have been better," Hill said. "I could have let down my window in that instant. But the thing about me is, I don't want attention. I don't want to be cameras-out, phones-on-you in that moment. But at the end of the day, I'm human. I've got to follow rules. I've got to do what everyone else would do.
"Now, does that give them the right to literally beat the dog out of me? Absolutely not," Hill continued. "But at the end of the day, I wish I could go back and do things a bit differently."
Why don't we have to hold the multi-million dollar athlete to higher standards?amercer said:

You mean the one where he said the officers needed to be fired?IrishAg said:
I'll give him credit for his public statement he recently gave in that he took some responsibility.Quote:

That's excellent, I'm going to start using that on my kids.Booma94 said:Why don't we have to hold the multi-million dollar athlete to higher standards?amercer said:

He was in a vehicle with extremely dark window tint, making it difficult or impossible to see in. He was given a lawful directive to keep his window down for the officer's peace of mind and well-being, yet he refused on multiple occasions.
I say all the time, you don't get to choose both your actions and the consequences. If you choose to act like a non-compliant ass after being in violation of the law, then you can't complain about the consequences that come when the people in charge of maintaining safety do what they feel is necessary to maintain safety.
I'm all for officers getting waaaay more respect than they do, think all of this defund **** is about one of the stupidest ideas and catch phrase someone has come up with in the last 50 years, and feel the current temperature of people vs cops will cause all of the good cops to eventually be squeezed out. And yeah, Hill is an ******* with a anger issue who probably has one of the bigger inferiority complexes you can get that causes him to be a dick and commit violent acts that I wonder how he wasn't arrested for.Booma94 said:You mean the one where he said the officers needed to be fired?IrishAg said:

Actually I already use that with my daughter (she's only 8). We discuss all the time of thinking about the consequences first before committing to an action. We tell her that we'll support her in her decisions that she makes,, and that if she does want to stand up for something (including standing up to mom and dad) then we'll be proud of her for having the strength in doing that...but, at the same time, us being proud of her for showing independence doesn't mean we will (or even can) stop the consequences that come about from her actions.The Porkchop Express said:That's excellent, I'm going to start using that on my kids.Booma94 said:Why don't we have to hold the multi-million dollar athlete to higher standards?amercer said:
