Police body camera video shows an officer dragged Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill out of his sports car by his arm and head and then forced him face-first onto the ground after Hill put up the window of his car.
Tyreek seemed to be acting like a dick, but that officer was obviously spoiling for a fight. Tyreek’s behavior could easily be explained by being flustered over being late for work. The officer was just an asshole from the start. I’m honestly surprised they released the footage.
As far as the seat belt thing goes: I got pulled over for having a taillight out once and after I stopped I immediately got my license out of my back pocket, unhooking my seat belt to do it. When I handed my license to the officer, he accused me of driving without a seat belt, and I told him I took it off to get my license out. The officer bought my story, but then again, I have an advantage in these interactions with police that Tyreek doesn’t. But at least I know now to just wait after I get pulled over for the officer’s instructions. I won’t get my ID until he asks me for it, so he can see that I have my seat belt on.
