A police officer dragged Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill out of his car and then forced him face first on to the ground during a traffic stop

I’m at work and can’t watch the video. Why’d they pull him out violently? Was there some struggle beforehand, or did the cop just decide to be an asshole?
and what was the outcome? Was he arrested? Let go?
The guy rolled up his window when the cops were talking to him. Any normal person would have spent the night in jail if they did the same, and then they would be paying to get their car out of impound, and then maybe their license would have been suspended too.
I’m not saying what they did is right, i’m saying cops in this country are assholes. That’s what we expect them to be. That’s what the policies ask them to be. That’s what their bosses want. It’s what the elected officials who set the laws and guidelines they must follow want. It’s what most very old white people want.
We need real change, we just won’t see it in our lifetime. We’d sooner see another dictator trying to conquer the world and committing genocidal acts than do anything to address the police problem here. Nowadays cops are just legalized bullies, just the way the ownership wants.
Hill was being a punk and rolled his window up on them. One of them roid raged out and yoinked him out of the car. I think they figured out who he was (probably thought he was a drug dealer based on him being black and the nice sports car) and gave him his traffic tickets and let him go.
He provided the paperwork they required from him and chose not to continue the conversation. When asked to step out of the car he complied and was thrown to the ground. He is not required to speak to them so why is he a punk?
