I have spent a couple years badmouthing this dude, but the police bodycam footage is pretty crazy. It’s also crazy to me that a bunch of Miami cops would pull over one of the city’s most well-known athletes and nobody was like “gee, maybe we shouldn’t go so hard on this one, he’s famous”
Nothing makes a a cop more upset than seeing a black man doing better than him. A LOT of poorer white ppl seeing any brown person doing better than them is upsetting. You only got in your position because your a diversity hire or Affirmative Action!
Playing devil’s advocate. He may just not have wanted some paparazzi taking a picture of him while being pulled over? You could see in the video where the cop decides he’s going on a power trip instead of just doing his job
No, the person is saying the cops should have been smarter. They didn’t say, “the cops SHOULD HAVE done X.” They said, “it’s crazy that the cops DID do X.”

Thought process might well have been: “This is an uppity black man, we’d better show these types a lesson.”

No normal citizen would roll up their window on the police. Give me a fucking break.

Ok, and maybe the cop thinks he is trying to load a gun with the window up. Lots of what ifs.
so you are saying they should treat him differently because he is famous?
Cops should be aware that if they fuck around with a famous person, they will definitely find out how it feels to face serious charges.
I wish it was the same for us poor people, but it’s not.
