It was Tyreek not following directions and making the inside of his car not clearly visible to the officer (despite his requests). That creates a safety problem for the officer. This was the main issue IMO. If words don’t work and the citizen is not cooperating then I’m curious what is the next step besides pulling the guy from his car?
He lowered his window, handed his license over, and put his windows back up. The officer felt safe enough to stand by the widow for half a minute, knocking on the glass. The argument that the situation was threatening holds zero water and is just bootlicker cope.
The officer can make all kinds of demands, but if they don’t fall under the procedures they are required to follow, then it’s on the officer. The lack of following procedures is likely why the officer is suspended and will hopefully no longer be on the force. The excessive use of force is also going to result in tax payers paying millions to the recipient of the assault.
Requests are optional, my friend. And the visibility no concern. We know that’s a blatant lie. You want to know how we know? Easy.
What if the cop doesn’t force him out of the car? What would the cop do? I got it! He’d go back to his police car, far from Tyreek, perfectly safe, and then he’d write up the ticket. Then he’d walk back to Tyreek and give him the ticket. The end. Almost no contact, and all of that with backup officers on hand ready to assist. No violence, no handcuffs, no nothing.
After all, most people driving expensive cars aren’t gonna stress about a speeding ticket. So give them the ticket already.

Please stop calling me a bootlicker. It’s not necessary for this conversation to occur.
Sorry about that.
It is a pejorative, but only trying to use it as short hand for people that freely give away their rights to authority.
