The window being all the way down was not a safety issue, but i have zero faith that a court would determine the cops to have used excessive force. I'll see you all at the next post where nothing changes!
I'll be honest, I've seen plenty of these types of stops on YouTube, I know guilty pleasure, and once he rolled up that window, Black, White, Chinese, Indian, you were going to get pulled out and arrested for contempt of cop.
Don't get me wrong, police do racially profile and harass Black people disproportionally and are racists assholes but the traffic stop? I don't think race played as much of a factor than just good ol' fragile cop ego where a white guy showing the same behavior would have been mostly the same thing happen, just that the white guy would have been in no danger of being killed but gun or suffocation.
I’ll get downvoted, but the body cam footage I saw showed Tyreek talking back to the officer, refusing instructions by rolling up his window, and telling them not to knock on his car window. It’s not exactly surprising he got yanked out of his car. Go ahead and argue it wouldn’t happen to a white person. I’m not getting into that discussion. Perhaps the cops should have attempted to deescalate, but Tyreek did himself 0 favors. Was not surprised that he found out after fucking around with the cop.
Lemmy is turning into Reddit...."if I was a cop..." lol..I mean, we live in a day and age where people are being taught NOT to respect or listen to cops. This is what actually happens when you're not obeying the officer. It doesn't matter if your a millionaire athlete, or some homeless dude... you don't talk back and ignore cops if you've been pulled over and/or detained.
