How fast should the Tyreek Hill cops be fired?

To resolve this issue here is what should happen shoukd Hill ever be in this situation again. Hill should roll up his window. When the officer taps on the window Hill should ignore it. When the cop asks Hill to get out of the car Hill should ignore it. The officer should again politely ask Hill to get out of the car. If after this does not persuade Hill to follow orders then they should just let him go his merry way. Certain people expect certain privilege when they are due none.

Thought it was funny that Hill was telling the cops to watch his knee because he just had surgery. Wonder if he says the same to the defensive backs.

I think it's interesting how people can look at the same thing and draw opposite conclusions.

I agree with...some of what you wrote. But I find like most things now a days, everyone wants to take it to an extreme.

They should be held to higher standards than most people. It seems like many people, however, just want an excuse to find to label them all as bad cops. Is it any wonder that PDX has dozens and dozens (sometimes hundreds) of open positions that they can never fill? It's because so many of the city's residents want to demonize police en masse. Then when there aren't enough cops, people blame them for "purposefully slowing down work" and that they aren't responding just to "teach the citizens a lesson". Like why in the ever living heck would any person want to take that job AND have the fun of dealing with any number of weirdos pointing guns at them? This is the problem is that most people don't understand there might be good cops and bad cops, they want to lump them all in one bucket. And even if you do understand good cops / bad cops (I mean, who hasn't watched Lethal Weapon?) then you'd know that some of it is scenario-based and perception, not always reality. These are humans we're talking about, not perfect robots (coming in 2031), they will make mistakes. I really don't think these cops were the epitome of corrupt, liberty-denying fascists, so I think Florida might recover.

If one cop in the group was an idiot, then put him in training (if he hasn't already been there) and if he does it again, suspend them, then fire them. But fire the whole group? Ridiculous.


And frankly, I would never expect cops to know that someone is a celebrity and even if they did, I would HOPE they would treat them like every other citizen and not give them special treatment.

I don't think T Hill will file. Would hurt his brand, even after the game he was talking about how he loves the cops, may want to be a cop when he retires, and he just didn't understand how it went from 0 to 60 so fast (funny, since he was driving a mclaren). I'm thinking additional training is it, not likely anyone to get fired, but a couple of em sure deserve it.

6 months is a long time. Except for the parties involved, this will disappear from the public consciousness in two weeks.


I finally watched the video. Big deal. Sports stars acting like sports stars expecting to be handled with kid gloves. Cops acting like cops, barking commands like a machine gun. The first cop involved, the one who knocked on the window, did a good job, I thought. Some of the others had gotten a bit riled up in my opinion. 

What a sad commentary it is that a person's first instinct when they get pulled over by the police is to call his agent/enabler.  Calling out "Drew! Drew!"  

Pathetic.
