Yesterday star wide receiver Tyreek Hill, with the Miami Dolphins, was detained by police because he was being non-compliant with the orders of the officers. They stopped him because he was speeding.
People were quick to claim the officers were manhandling him over a traffic violation after photos came out of Hill being put on his stomach and handcuffed. He was never arrested.
Today the bodycam video was released and you can see for yourself.

There are plenty of people claiming these cops were excessive and wrong. But what I see in this video is an idiot who wasn’t compliant with police. Hill rolled his window up during the stop and the police officer repeatedly told him to roll his window down and he wouldn’t do it.
Then one officer decided to pull him out of his vehicle and lay him on his stomach while handcuffing him because he wasn’t being complaint. And then Hill has the audacity to tell the officer “you beatin’ on my window like you crazy.” What a fool.
None of this would have ever happened if Hill kept his window down so that the police officers present could keep an eye on him and see what he was doing in the vehicle. People seem to forget that these officers encounter crazy danger every day and they don’t know if he’s going to pull a gun on them or not. They have to protect themselves and as soon as someone becomes non-compliant, they have to take action.
That’s my take. Am I wrong?
