I saw this video popping like crazy on my X feed today. Seems to be another instance of a controversial arrest of a black man (here Tyreek Hill) in America and as expected, everybody picked a side. I watched the whole video, but I have to say, I'm a bit confused. A few thoughts: -The officers looked short tempered and agressive, but not at first. -Hill kept calling the officers "bro" 🙄 -Hill rolled up his tainted window while interacting with the officer 🚩 -Refused to sit down after being asked to. Said it's because he just had knee surgery, but also, played football later that day? 🤔 -The guy in the other car not showing his Driver's licence after being asked 10 times. I mean, I know there's history of police violence, even police killing citizens in the US. But in this case, there's none of that (there's been rough handling of Hill for sure, but Hill didnt show his best behavior either), so I'm really curious as to why it seems to have become such a controversial arrest? 😳

None of the parties here have ever heard the term de-escalation. Hill was wrong for the window thing (and IMO general non-compliance). They were wrong for the manner in which they dragged him out (and general overagressiveness). He was wrong for not sitting. They were wrong for still being mad about the window thing. The other driver was wrong for not listening to not park there (and a dumbass for still being on the phone while talking with 2 LEOs). They were wrong for both of them speaking to him at the same time, one of them saying he should leave, the other saying give me your licence. He was wrong for not listening to either

No one apart from professionals are trained for de-escalation. It's police's job to de-escalate. Not the guy's job. So the guy has no real fault here. Only the police.

Maybe he's not trained to de-escalate, but common sense when being pulled over by the police would be to not provoke escalation in the first place maybe? You can't say the guy has no real fault here.

He has no real fault. Neither legally nor ethically. Common sense varies from person to person especially in a diverse place like USA. He did no real harm to the officer. He didn't even insult. Feels like y'all want him to just lick police's boots.

Listening to police orders = licking police boots? In case you didn't know, police has an authority that common citizens need to listen to.

Legally they have some VERY LIMITED authority but not all their orders have to be listened to. Feel free to check the law. But more importantly, you absolutely do not have to "respect" them over and above someone else. Nor do they deserve it. They don't "have to" be called "sir my beloved sir pls let me do what you want".
