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? 😳

What's wrong with calling someone "bro"? Why the nitpicking?

Is this a serious question? You're raised in a culture where they call even their sisters "bro" (in an affectionate manner), and you think using the word that you always use is a problem?

If you think calling someone "bro" is a crime, I can't do anything for you 🤦🏽‍♂️

Is this a serious question? You're being pulled over by the police, and you think calling the officer "bro" is going to get you the best outcome? 

If you seriously think so, I can't do anything for you...
