This is kinda interesting. I mean, of course this dude is a defense attorney, but you can see how he would lay out his defense of Hill here and it's pretty comprehensive.

Hill being a dick does not give the cop the right to do what they wound up doing. IMO, the cops were pissed that he was being a dick. When he rolled up his window, he may or may not have realized that he was escalating unnecessarily. To him, he might have been thinking "OK, I gave them my license, now I'm rolling up the window to avoid all the looky-loo's from taking my picture etc. And I'm gonna call my agent" but to the cop, he was being a belligerent entitled rich asshole, and needed to be taught a lesson.

At the end of the day, the more I look into this, the more I'm on Reek's side. The cops went way too far. Hill broke the law by speeding. To enforce said law, the cops pull him over, get his license, and write him a ticket. None of what Hill said or did prevented them from doing that. BUT...Hill was being a dick. The officer did not like that. The officer got pissed, and away we go.

Could Hill have handled it better? Hell yes. Could the officer(s) handled it better, and should they be expected to do so? Double hell yes.

Cops have a tough job to say the least. Unfortunately, their life experience cannot factor in with every stop they make. They have to have the ability to treat each stop as a completely new, separate and distinct event. But, that's not how humans are, and cops are human. This is why we have laws and conduct guidelines that apply to cops. They are set apart. They have a lot of power over us. They must wield such power responsibly. In this incident, I don't think they did the right thing.

The legal eagle dude has a lot of facts wrong, and makes some unreasonable claims. He does point out that they can drag him from the car though. The police here didn't do anything illegal, however Tyreek Hill did.
