The same result would happen to anyone of any race in the same circumstances.
Does anyone of at least average intelligence actually think the white male would get a pass for this?

Prior to the point you are referencing...
He already did roll down the window all the way. Talked with the officer. Presented his drivers license. Officer then walks away, and then he rolled up the window.
Hill has stated he was attempting to prevent people stopping, jamming up traffic as they were trying to take photographs.
Once on the ground, look carefully for the officers to search for a weapon. That is the excuse we will hear for ripping him out of his car. Courts have ruled that drivers have no obligation to roll down windows.
Other news sites are reporting the people stopping beyond the scene were team mates. One was detained and handcuffed. I'm sure there will be more to come out about that.
The person on the phone Hill was talking with was the head of Dolphins security.
Looks like the officers were doing a few things. Teach a lesson to obey everything they say, even if those commands are not legal or necessary. Show Hill who is the "boss". Officers can disrespect anyone they want, at any time, for any reason.
Wonder is this is the norm there? Is everyone treated like that? Did they happen to just pick on the wrong guy this time - someone famous who will garner attention even if he doesn't want it?
