    Cops have an impossible job. Everyone has a gun, so it would be stupid of them to assume he wasn’t armed, which is why they ask you to keep your window rolled down. All he had to do was keep his window rolled down for the traffic stop, which is not an unreasonable request, but it was one he deliberately disobeyed. Instead, he acted out, so they treated him like a delinquent. There are actual victims of police overreach that will never know publicity like this. People who did everything asked of them and still suffered. Tyreek acted like a petulant child “how dare they give ME a speeding ticket!?” so they treated him like one. This is a nothing burger.

    I have no problem at all with rich pieces of shit getting treated like the scumbags they are.

      Agreed! Even though it’s a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to Have a Gun Police have EVERY RIGHT TO VIOLENTLY ATTACK US BECAUSE WE HAVE GUNS!

      FREEDOM!

      This is how you would treat a petulant child? Someone needs to make sure you never have access to children.

      There’s no law that that a cop can order you to roll your window down. This was needlessly escalated by the cop for no reason other than ego.

      You got some black polish on your lip, there.
