That's rough. Those guys were pulling over out of concern and wanting to help, but it probably didn't help the situation when you had other cars pulling over and guys getting out. But I don't know what else you'd do. If I was driving in a convoy with some friends and one of them got pulled over, I'd probably pull over too, even though I kind of think I shouldn't. Maybe the guy in the passenger seat was doing the right thing by just sitting in his car and filming it, but even that is going to be an escalation risk.

My thing is, there were what, like 7-8 cops on the scene detaining one guy?

Tyreek’s teammates were clearly not being threatening and just wanted to know what was going on. Can one of those 8 cops not walk over to them and calmly defuse the situation with them?

Their attitude towards the other guys was incredibly hostile compared to the threat they were posing.

They're perceived as a threat in general because they stopped to get involved.

Understood, but this is I think a point where good police work could’ve resulted in a better outcome.

At that point in the situation, the cops had come to the realization that Hill was a player. Knowing that, it’s pretty obvious that these guys are also players.

There’s a way to calmly let them know that they have to leave without treating them like gangbangers and throwing them in cuffs.

You can't get a better outcome when the person's speeding is being disrespectful and borderline hostile. Trust me when I tell you that what happened is actually a good outcome because nobody died, nobody got a gun stuck in their face, and nobody was hurt when Hill was speeding.

How dare anyone ask what's going on.
