I get it, and he is a known asshole. But the cops still took it too far THIS TIME, especially when they handcuffed a teammate for getting too close.

Being an asshole isn't against the law.
I’m not gonna defend the cops here because they’re obviously in the wrong but just so you know the context of Hill, he assaulted his pregnant gf and has since broken the child’s arms in addition to other assaults. He really is a monster. I just find it funny that the one time the cops really went at him was when he actually didn’t deserve it.
Oh I looked up who he is, because I don't follow sports and had no idea who he is, but I stand by my statement. Being a terrible person is not relevant to what happened. If the police were detaining him for any of those things it wouldn't be an issue, but they weren't, and police don't or at least shouldn't have the power to accost someone simply because they don't like him.
Now if a random dude wanted to run up and punch him in the face for being a terrible person? Fine by me, they aren't an agent of the state.
And again I would like to point out that Calais Campbell (winner of the Walter Payton award last year for outstanding citizenship off the field) was put in handcuffs for trying to defuse the situation. He was going to be cited with failing to comply with a direct order because he walked back to his car instead of running when told his car was holding up traffic. That's a giant load of shit, and it was basically cops threatening anyone in the area who was a large black man.
Oh hey a wild “he was no angel”
For a guy who doesn’t want to defend the cops you are using a classic defending the cops meme.
I would believe that too, except that I watched the body cam video. I don't think Tyreek came off looking great, but the police escalated the situation. And afterwards, he made a good point in asking how non-celebrities get treated by these officers.
I mean if you’re looking to intentionally misunderstand what I wrote for the sake of feeling morally superior to me then sure.
You literally did a he's no angel. Pointing that fact out isn't misunderstanding you it's pointing out an objective fact.
Feel free to mald about that all you want but it's not going to change what you did.
Nah you legitimately just don't have reading comprehension.
Reading comprehension is pretty easy, if you try.
Arrest guy for bad things he does when he does them because he did them.
Don't arrest guy for perfectly legal things that he did and then say it is fine because he did unrelated bad things in a totally different time and place.

Like I said feel free to mald as much as you need to. No need to lie about me though.
Also reading comprehension he’s using a cop defending meme in making that point. A point that I don’t think added anything useful to the story.
“Yeah the cops made a bad arrest/shoot this time but the victim was no angel” is literally the defense I’m referencing. I’m flat out referring to it.
Used a meme? No, you are just selectively reading and overreacting about it. Blots is no cop defender.
Sheesh.
"Just so you know the context" is not a meme.
Literally is the cop defending meme. Really don’t know how you and Blots can’t take some real light pushback on this. Maybe go mald with your buddy and grow some thicker skin.
Also going he was no angel didn’t provide any context at all to the story. We have the body cam footage so we can see he wasn’t being arrested because of the domestic abuse he was being arrested for disrespecting a cop. Pointing out his criminal past is the exact same thing cop defenders do about George Floyd and others. Pointing that fact out to you annd Blots is actually providing context.
I think Dubyamn is saying that "point out bad things the victim previously did" is a thing that people do to defend police brutality, and we should try not to do that even if we have no malicious intentions behind it. Sort of like how we should not hold our arms out, palm down, at a 45° angle even if we're not deliberately trying to do a Nazi salute, and are just trying to wave at someone or gesture at something in the distance, because, well, that's a Nazi salute.
Albeit perhaps Dubyamn could have phrased his rebuke a bit less aggressively?

Uh, yeah, it provided context for the final sentence of his post. You know, one of the sentences you are ignoring.
Again, you are literally ignoring 2/3 of the post to take the middle third completely out of context, which is ironic as it was only mentioned to provide context. I mean, look who can't take pushback on this and admit you are seeing intent where there very clearly isn't any. How can you possibly take it as cop defense when blots says:
That's the 2/3 you are willfully not addressing in any of your posts. Is it any wonder people think you have some reading comprehension problems here?
He obviously thinks the cops are in the wrong. He obviously thinks what's-his-face did bad things. Those two things can both be true. And they provide the set up for why he thinks it is ironic.
Already addressed this point. To you in fact.
Also disagree that it’s ironic that cops take disrespecting a cop more seriously than domestic abuse. That’s the way the system has always functioned.

4 shot at Brooklyn train station when officers open fire at man trying to avoid paying fare
"Four people were wounded at a Brooklyn train station Sunday when police officers shot at a man [allegedly] threatening them with a knife, authorities said. The people hit by police gunfire included the man with the blade, one of the officers and two innocent bystanders."
I won't bother quoting any more of what the police say happened, because we know they're full of shit. For all I know they're lying about the man having a knife and threatening them.
