Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What if he wasn't driving reckless down a busy street, been calm and respectful when (rightfully) being pulled over, and rolled his window down when asked to?
Only your first point matters. All cops can lick my chode and don't deserve respect, and it skins like he tried his window up after already giving his ID. Tyreek is a piece of shit that should have been arrested and kicked out of the NFL after he beat his girlfriend, but these cops were in their typical power trip.
Everyone agrees to follow traffic law when they ask the state to grant them permission to drive. In every state, "stay calm and obey police orders during a traffic stop" is one of those laws. Yes, he was allowed to roll his window up after giving his ID, but the second he was asked to roll it back down and refused, he entered a whole different level of traffic violation, hence the escalation.
You don't get to pick and choose which rules you to follow because you think you're a hotshot celebrity who's embarrassed of being seen getting a ticket.
Really? The cop gets to escalate that to shoving someone to the ground literally 1 second later? It seems to me the cop was itching for a fight, and wanted to make an example of someone. Hill wasn't acting as angelic as he claimed to, but that in no way justified the cop's behavior.
That cop is lucky he didn't injure Tyreek in the process. I don't think he wants to go to the barracks and be known as the guy whose temper tantrum tanked the Dolphin's season.
Bodycam videos are one of my guilty pleasures and in almost all that I've seen the cops will give people a ton of chances to comply even if they're being assholes.
But in this one the cops went from 0-100 almost instantly, and IMHO behaved really unprofessionally.
Never said that the cop acted properly or that the same thing would've happened even if Hill did everything right, but JFC he did nothing for himself in that traffic stop.
Cops are bastards. Getting pulled over sucks. But everyone with a brain knows that when it happens you keep your hands on the steering wheel, say "yes/no, officer," and follow any reasonable request they make for you to get things done as smoothly and stress-free as possible, and then you take the ticket straight to an attorney and fight it in court.
You're white dogg that's why that works. Stop talking as if you know a goddamn thing. Now.
Learn 2 type b4 u reply 2 me. Now. Lmao
"Now" was the most effective part? Noted for future.
Lick the boot or get stomped by it huh?
The saddest part is that it’s not even an “or” statement. Police don’t even care if you’re a bootlicker. When push comes to shove, they’ll gladly stomp on the bootlickers too.
Clearly you're not licking properly.
- Bootlickers probably
what if you just... never hit 'reply' after this brainfart?
