Okay, I will argue that. Because it wouldn’t have happened to a white person. I’ve seen white people get away with doing a lot more than that to cops.

I’ve seen plenty of sovcit videos where white people get their windows smashed and dragged out of the car

Yes. After doing a lot more than he did first.

Also, cops leave SovCits alone all the time because they don’t want to deal with that shit. Black people, not so much.

Squid - I think your arguments are subjective at best. Because I saw a white guy get away with more doesn’t mean that this is an issue of race and your sample size of n=1 doesn’t hold a lot of weight for your argument either. I’m a white guy and I would never dream of acting out like Tyreek did for fear that the same thing could happen to me. I have a hard time seeing race as the issue based on what I saw. Tyreek even said he was embarrassed after the fact. He didn’t handle this situation well at all.

Sov Cits don’t have documentation and refuse to comply with lawful orders. This gentleman gave the police his documentation and they got mad he wasn’t bending over and spreading his asshole.

It’s funny cause this situation is so crazy with how the cops escalated this situation when it wasn’t warranted, you actually have to compare them to someone doing an actual crime!

Like that’s how crazy this debate even is. Rich dude in super car being an asshole vs a person who is willfully driving with fake paperwork hoping a cop pulls them over.

Hill just looked like a rich asshole in a hurry and I can’t imagine anyone advocating that the police action was OK.

On occasion, racist cops will violate white folks too. They’re never perfectly racist.

Like dodging charges for assaulting his girlfriend in college? Or how about when he beat his kid and told his wife, “Bitch, you should be too” after she said to him, “your son is terrified of you” the proceeded to threaten his wife to lie to the authorities so the charges would be dropped.

He acted like the fucking scum bag he is to the cops and he fuckin got what he deserved. Mother fucker has been dodging charges that any non-athletic white person would never get away with. This piece of shit deserves to get hog tied and strung up like s pinata for his son to break open.

Sorry, the cops did that to him because of things he did in the past and not at the time of arrest and he was not charged with those things at the time of arrest?

This sounds sort of like people excusing Kyle Rittenhouse because he killed a sex offender, as if he could have known that.
