Tyreek Hill arrested for traffic violation by stadium in Miami on gameday (Hill played) [Reckless driving & seatbelt charges dismissed]
1. He was speeding in an area with traffic barrels so it was already a caution zone. (broke the law, but not egregious)
2. He refused to roll down his window. (totally dumb thing to do)
3. He was combative repeatedly telling the officer to not knock on his window. (nothing to gain by being combative)
4. He raised his window up after the office repeatedly told him not to. (totally dumb thing to do)
5. He was not wearing a seatbelt. (some say he took it off to get his wallet, but you should never until you engage the officer and ask if you can remove the seatbelt to retrieve the wallet)
6. He was told to exit the vehicle and did not do so immediately. (at this point, based on his previous interactions here, he's not taking this traffic stop seriously and only making it worse)
1. I don't think the forceful removal of him from the vehicle was necessary. (sure, Hill was being an arse throughout the whole interaction, but the officer has to still maintain restraint)
2. Probably procedure to handcuff or they refer to it as temporarily restrain a non-compliant individual.
Nobody is going to come out of this incident looking good. Clearly the officer went a step too far, but Hill was non-compliant over and over. For him to state he did nothing wrong or to claim that he was driving while black (he may not have said it but i've seen it mentioned either by teammates or the media), well that's emphatically not the case in this situation.
