Just because you get millions to play a dumb sport doesn't mean you get to act like hot shit
shareFor not rolling the window down. For not having your seat belt on when parked.
shareDon’t try and gaslight the scenario dude, those officers risk their lives everyday for people like you, and every time they approach a vehicle, in the back of their minds they're expecting to get shot, because it happens, a lot!
Once he disobeyed the officers’ commands and rolled his window back up, especially knowing that there was no way for those officers to see through his midnight black tint, he was a threat to those officers’ lives.
He showed his ass and got exactly what he had coming to him.

This is parody, right? share
I guess it could be taken as parody by someone who leaches off society, never sacrificing anything outside of what contributes to their selfish needs and/or wants and feels entitled to absolute police protection, but only when it comes to their own well-being, anything outside of that being generalized into police brutality/corruption, that’s the gist right?
sharePolice have no obligation to protect anyone.
The Supreme Court has consistently ruled that police agencies are not obligated to provide protection to citizens. For example, in DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services (1989), the Court held that the government has no affirmative duty to protect individuals from harm.
In subsequent cases, such as Warren v. District of Columbia (2024) and Castle Rock v. Gonzales (2005), the courts have reaffirmed this principle, stating that police agencies are not under a legal duty to protect citizens from harm, even in situations where a threat is apparent.
And the job isn't that dangerous either. It's a completely false narrative.
But please go on about who I am and what I do or don't do. I'm fascinated about how much [you think] you know about me. share
There is no need for me to go on, your statement,
“And the job isn't that dangerous either. It's a completely false narrative.”,
is so full of complete shite that this forum will most likely crash due to the level of delusion that you inked onto the internet, that being said, maybe I’ll respond to you in a decade of so when the system reboots.
Cite your source. Just how "dangerous" is it to be a police officer?
Spoiler alert: It's not.
Especially since they have no obligation to protect you, which is part of your initial bullshit statement "those officers risk their lives everyday for people like you"
This is entirely laughable. They are not risking their lives for me or anyone here.
I’m curious whether you know if that U.S. Supreme Court precedent has any exceptions that apply in Florida. It seems to me that once the police make a lawful vehicle stop for reckless driving, the cops could be sued by someone later injured by the driver if they just acquiesced to a stalemate at his car window that stymied investigation of whether he was drunk or a danger behind the wheel.
I don’t think the Supreme Court case is as cut and dry as you suggest. I suspect that once the cops have lawfully stopped a potentially dangerous driver, they do have a duty within reason to bring their investigation to a conclusion to protect other people on the roadway that could be hurt by the guy.
The SCOTUS decisions are about direct intervention and my citation was in response to the poster that claimed these officers risk their lives everyday for us. They don't.
I've never seen an instance where police were held liable for someone else's actions after they were free to go. That doesn't mean it hasn't happened, just that I've never seen it.
As far as the window, you must roll your window down enough to sufficiently communicate with the officer and/or provide requested documentation. There's no requirement to roll the window all the way down. There's also no requirement to keep the window down once the transaction is complete. I can't imagine an officer acquiescing due to a driver "stalemating" him by leaving the window up.
In that case, the officer is absolutely justified to remove him from his vehicle for not providing the required documentation upon request.
For not rolling the window down. For not having your seat belt on when parked.
OMFG please don't be taking this guy's side! He didn't have his seatbelt on when he was driving. He was speeding. He was being an asshole.
- He totally disrespected the police and continually disobeyed their orders
- Every dummy knows you have to roll your window down for a traffic stop, no matter how famous you THINK you are. And then to keep rolling it back up is beyond comprehension. What a privileged dick he is.
- Just do what the police say and none of this crap happens. Maybe even try apologizing.
- Act like an asshole (e.g. "Don't tap on my window like that") and expect the worst. What's an officer supposed to do to get your attention when you're hiding behind blackened/mirrored windows?
- What a TOTAL DICK for continuously rolling the window back up. Yeah he was afraid he gonna end up on Social Media, but too bad "bro", that what happen when you gets pulled over.
- Rodney King and George Floyd were too drugged up to obey. Tyreek is just too much of an asshole.
I don’t see anything wrong with rolling your window up after you’ve given the officer your ID and tell him just give me the ticket. Apparently, he wasn’t speeding. And Tyreek was obstinate but cops have to relate to a lot of people who are drunk, mean, obstinate. What is obvious is this - you got a black guy with a massive neck driving a McClaren worth close to a half million - why would you even tempt fate like that. How would you not know - maybe not know Tyreek - but not know that he was perhaps somebody that was like, I don’t know, maybe a football star for your home city when you’re that close to the stadium - that could screw up your livelihood for a seatbelt violation. And Tyreek never said - do you know who I am. When the one cop found out who he was - he said, “oh, f—k.” That’s right because he knew that they were in for it. The officers probably make next to nothing. They were terribly unprofessional with the one doing a lot of swearing - that poor guy with 27 years on the force has been put on admin duty. The cops would say one thing and then change their mind in a split second to something more punitive - this is in reference to both with Tyreek and Calais. I feel for the cops because they’re on shaky ground now as they represent the Miami-Dade PD and it was disgraceful. If the one cop is let go, I hope he gets his pension. And here’s what I think - it’s all about the car. It’s my opinion so you don’t have to take issue with it.
shareletess: Apparently, he wasn’t speeding.
Please return to GO and GO read up on the story a bit more. He was ticketed for "careless driving", estimated at 60mph in a 40mph zone with many pre-game pedestrians. He was not issued a "speeding ticket" because they didn't have radar on to officially clock him. But he was speeding.
Tyreek never said - do you know who I am.
He is so damn arrogant he ASSUMED they knew who he was! I hear minorities complain about "white privilege" all the time, but man this jerk is the total definition of PRIVILEGE and ARROGANCE.
I know. Once I knew it was for careless driving and it wasn’t for speeding, I knew that was because there wasn’t radar. I figured that out on my own. But it also wasn’t reckless driving. The ticket is less than $175. The seat belt is a little less that. I don't think he was disputing anything. In fact, I think he was the one who admitted he was going 60mph in a 40. He just wanted the citation/s so he could get to the game.
What makes you think he assumed that they knew who HE was. Because as I see it after being pulled out of the car, pushed to the ground, handcuffed, and tossed on the side of the street - well any second he could have said something. But he didn’t. But they should have known he was a football player. Just look at him. There’s no big intrigue there, but apparently they didn’t even get it. BTW, I feel for the cops. Their lives will forever be changed.
In California, a speeding ticket is over $500. Your insurance shoots up to an unbelievable rate unless you go to driver’s school (an additional $100) and take an exam which you do if you don’t want it on your driving record. But you can only take it if you haven’t had any moving violations in last 18 months. This guy could care less about any of it.
I don't disagree the cops over-reacted. But he was being a total dick. When the police tell you to roll your window down, DO IT! Don't be an asshole and keep rolling it back up. Don't tell the cop "Don't tap my window like that'". Where does he get off being so rude and disobedient to an officer of the law?
He would have been arrested if he were not a Dolphins player on his way to the game.
I agree. Everything you say. And for this Tyreek guy - it’s a minor thing. Zipped on to do well at the game and probably more games. I bet we hear about him later tho down the road - maybe some vindication. The lawsuit will move forward and be settled. Tyreek already makes $20M a year. Meanwhile, these cops will undergo one of the worst times in their lives. I still think it was the car that was the underlying motivator here. The fact that this guy had this car unnerved the one cop and then Tyreek’s insolence when he didn’t want him to touch the car and the cop lost it and then the others joined in. What I don’t understand is they had to know he was somebody “important.” Especially, when two more players showed up. It is inconceivable to me that they couldn’t foresee a huge problem. And did they forget they had body cams on. And can be seen and heard. There is some abuse of power here. The one cop tells Calais to leave and then when he leaves, the other cop decides differently and asks for his ID to cite him and I think he ended up in handcuffs too. And this guy wasn’t insolent.
He might have been arrested had he not been a Dolphins player, but still they did not have the right to drag him like that out of car. Technically, he did lower the window and gave him his ID and said just give me the ticket. You can get more disrespect from a homeless drunk on the side of the road. But for the McClaren 720S.
I agree they should not have dragged him out of the car and pushed him down to the curb. He was being an asshole but he showed no signs of violence.
What frustrates me is 90% of the media coverage I've seen starts the video with him getting dragged out of the car, portraying a false narrative that he did NOTHING to provoke the officers at all, that he was just DWB - Driving While Black, and this happened.
It just stirs more racial divide, which is what the media wants.
