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 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...

This might be a hot take, but you should be able to call a cop "bro" without having to worry about them responding with violence.

Every little thing adds up. I agree with you on that specific cause/consequence, but call a cop bro, pull your window back up while interacting, dont comply when asked to bring it down, and you might not get the best behavior from the cop in return. He was handled roughly as a consequence, he wasnt beaten up.

Thumbs Up pfp

Police shouldn’t be able to respond to anything—aside from violence itself—with violence. And even then, for their elevated privileges, we should expect the most expert, nuanced, and non-lethal use of force.
