I got a belt the first time and the crying went on long enough that Pop felt like I was trying to guilt trip him. Man didn’t play. Of course, he survived a bullet in Korea when he was about 20 years old.

I am going to assume that a reckless driving citation was given to Tryreek because the officers did not know how fast he was going. I'm sure anyone, if they wanted, could easily figure out how fast he was going by a time and distance calculation. |

Kalifornians are just better than everyone else don't you know!
Remember when Dane said like 50% of his 4th graders classmates were non-binary or some shit? I remember that every time a Cali bro talks down about any other part of the country. They're the normal ones out there for sure |

We should be fair to all sides in this debate. "Racist" doesn't apply to the cop apologists in this thread. In this case, they are white knighting for a pack of neck-tatted Cubans with outsized egos and badges. Basically, they have turned #BacktheBlue into #MyBackdoorPleaseBlue.
Count me both as a race realist, and a cop realist. The cops lose this particular encounter. Somebody had to. |

As someone who has done traffic stops I am ok with how the police handled it right up to the point where they dragged him out. I thought that was over the top.
I always think about how this officer handled this lady and I think he handled it like I would have. This was way worse than what Tyreek did.

The most frustrating part about all of this is the immediate narratives that spread like wildfire. People automatically believe the first thing they read, especially if it first their preferred narrative. Tyreek COULD have acted differently for sure, but it's not as if he was agressive with the cops. The officers 100% SHOULD have behaved better. They came in hot from the onset for what video shows to be a minor infraction at worst. Scotty Scheffler, the nicest guy in America, just got done dealing with something similar. I hate disparaging law enforcement because it's an extremely risky job. I have no idea why anyone would want that profession, due to the potential danger AS WELL AS the microscope you're under while doing your job in stressful situations. But at the end of the day, you can't treat people the way he was just treated without repurcussions. And until there is consistent accountability for the ones who act like assholes, the behavior will continue. |

In reading through this thread, one thing suddenly strikes me. I was on a jury recently for something bad, a murder case, and one of the things that the law really punishes is escalation of a situation. For both sides, it's a really good idea to de-escalate and a really bad idea to escalate. We should all always keep that in mind. It's a good philosophy in general and it can get you out of legal problems.
Tyreek cause the initial escalation when he was speeding, and then escalated again by rolling his window up, and then escalated again by complaining about the window and not sitting down when told, etc. You fight that battle later if you need to. The second cop escalated by dragging him out of the car and dragging him down on the pavement. The cop may have a legal right to do so if the citizen is being non-compliant, but it's obvious that the cop had an attitude. He was escalating by insulting Tyreek about crying and by generally being a jerk. |
