Now, if only they'd start doing this for racial profiling of people who aren't millionaires, THEN we'd be getting somewhere!

Not a fan of MDC cops but racial profiling when someone was caught speeding on a 35mph going to the stadium, a well-known route to him as is where he works, should happen to anyone speeding.
The unnecessary violence and moronery following should be the focus, as the reason of the stop was very clear.
Hard to tell but it could just as easily be a rich and entitled strong man trying to bully his way out of a ticket going up against a cop who likes to abuse his power.
I've seen cops get shouted down for pulling over a high school quarterback. So a "star wide receiver" for the state NFL team? Especially when it is clearly already being argued that the cops are why the dolphins loss or didn't win their first game as much?
Remember: The only thing more important than beating on the brown is beating on the poor.
He was accused of punching his girlfriend in college and got kicked off the team at Oklahoma State. In 2019, prosecutors in suburban Kansas City declined to charge Hill after an alleged domestic violence incident involving his fiancee and their 3-year-old child.
I don't trust cops, and having read that, I don't trust Tyreek Hill. So I guess we'll just see how this pans out.
Both sides can definitely be bad. It's like when Google and MS sue each other. I don't care who wins, I just want them to hurt each other.
And if it wasn't a relatively famous Black man, nothing would have happened, and he'd probably have ended up in the pokie.
C'mon, get real. It's just as likely that they could have murdered him.
The player said the same thing
The only reason this wasn't swept under the rug was because sportball
Daniels said in a statement earlier Sunday that she requested an “immediate review” of the details surrounding the incident, adding that the department would review available body camera footage.
Something tells me that footage is about to be lost in some unforseen tech problems....
Daniels said in a statement earlier Sunday that she requested an “immediate review” of the details surrounding the incident, adding that the department would review available body camera footage.
So there is footage.
In a later statement, Daniels said: “I’m committed to transparency and accountability to the community with any situation involving my officers.”
Then release the fucking video!
Well they did, to many people via foia. Here's the full video with context.
Imo, Hill is not innocent in this but the officer came in way to hot. It turned from a rich asshole pulled over to rich asshole football player getting pulled over and ended with a ticket and a show. Hill didn't initially pull over, was speeding (55 in a 40), gave the cops a hard time and refused to get out of his car when asked. He comments he has a 9mm in the car too but that's pretty irrelevant I think as the cops didn't know that till he stated it when he was on the curb already.
The cop, as usual, escalated at every opportunity, actively threatened every one there, clearly on a power trip till he figured he was going to lose.
I will say one more thing, the entitlement of the players there is disgusting. Neither party is a good group here but wealth prevails. "You know he plays for the dolphins, right?"

Edit: I might be wrong about the speed, he wasn't charged with speeding. Also it looks like he did actually pull over when asked. Not sure if bike lights were on as audio was off
Thanks!
Wow, Hill is a privileged asshole!
Florida cop-man proving yet again how endemic racism is.
Good thing he is rich and well know so they can do something about it instead of ignoring it like the other thousands of times a month this happens.
just release the dash cam footage
The cop was probably betting against the Dolphins.
There will probably be a release of bodycam footage.
As long as said body cam footage makes the cops look good, otherwise it will be lost due to technical problems.
I believe bystanders got some vid too.
Yup. Both are the same video but the IG one is a bit longer and better quality.
Isn't Florida trying to push a law that would delay body can footage release?
