Because none of that actually happened...

Maybe because he stole the car and didn't know how to operate it

He found it once but couldn't find it again...Hmm.

I wonder what he did to get pulled over. Maybe there is video of that.

[Two Bills]

One thing for sure, that situation would never happen in the UK.
Probably take our Police a couple of hours to rustle up that many plods for a traffic stop!

If you even get pulled over, act like Tyree did. Let’s see how far you get. FAFO

EDIT - More bodycam footage due to be released from the 6 police officers at that traffic stop. I also would be interested in hearing the radio transmissions. What was said that necessitated that amount of police?

You don't know if weapons are involved until after you make the stop. No over reaction whatsoever

Totally agree there could have been improvement on both sides! Mr Hill could have been more respectable by keeping the window down and paying attention to the officer's commands instead of his phone! The 2nd gentleman could not even stop talking on the phone long enough to hear what the officer had to say. Police officer should have explained himself more instead of being impatient. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

Bodycam footage shows how Tyreek Hill detainment escalated

Most controversial law enforcement actions are the result of unforgivable disrespect by citizens. Tyreek is not exactly a role model but instead of taking advantage of the opportunity to elevate his personal reputation, he chose to immediately disregard the authority of law enforcement.

It's easy. Do. What. You. Are. Told.

Privileged. Such a shame how our world has lost respect.

A very simple answer do what the officer instructs you to do. period

[mflasch]

Same as aways. If these idiots would simply obey the law and if confronted by the police simply comply with the police officer's requests, these types of instances would be eliminated. You would think by now they would understand this, but obviously not.

When people accused me of violating their rights, I told them, Great! You can sue me and the agency for gazillions tomorrow morning."

Funny thing is, they never stopped accusing Guess they knew all along they were in the wrong.

Ya know what they say sticks in a lot of people's heads: A strong offense is the best defense. I think they meant the gridiron, not curbside, but the mentality is the same.

Just because his name is Tyreek Hill, doesn't mean that he's famous. Until this incident became news, I had never heard of him.
His windows were tinted too dark to see the interior (not legal).
He didn't keep his window rolled down (he could have had a weapon inside .. no way for the cop to know).
No time for games.
Comply or get cuffed.
It's a no brainer ..... even for someone with half a brain.
