Tyreek Hill got arrested detained because he was not properly obedient.
“Upon being stopped, Mr. Hill was not immediately cooperative with the officers on scene who, pursuant to policy and for their immediate safety, placed Mr. Hill in handcuffs. Mr. Hill, still uncooperative, refused to sit on the ground and was therefore redirected to the ground,”
At no time was there ever a reason or excuse for the behavior of the cops, simply not proper obedience, deference and humility on Mr Hill’s part.
ETA: Here is more of the cops bodycam footage.
If this had been joe average, we’d never have heard about it, but do you think that the cops are any less stupid and arrogant and power-mad in any other stops like this?
This was a stop for SPEEDING. The cops went out of control and massively escalated the situation, just like the Scotty Scheffler incident….because not enough deference.
They fail to understand their place in our society, and their training to have control for “Officer Safety” in situations where there is no threat of safety has led to incidents like this, where there is no need. The fact that the police officers, their supervisors, and the police administration condone the behavior demonstrates the depth of the problem. If they cannot handle themselves better than this, they should not have the powers they are given to them by society.
Much like the Scheffler incident, any officer who was on scene and allowed this behavior to happen without trying to stop it needs to have some retraining at best, and be disciplined and/or fired at worst.
But none of that will happen because Thin Blue Line and Officer Safety.
(and if you bother to look at the statistics, being a cop is NOT , despite what they believe, even close to being a dangerous profession compared to many others….if they are that afraid, then they need to find another profession)
