No winners here. Hill was an *** for speeding, initially ignoring calls to pull over and then how he initially interacted with the cops. He escalated this from the start. His whining about the cop tapping his window is bizarre considering he didn't roll his tinted window down in the first place, which pretty much all other people do that are pulled over. Then rolling it back up creates a safety issue for cops. A friend who is a cop told me that tinted windows present a problem because once Hill or anyone in that situation rolls up their window, the cop can't see what's going on in the car - is he reaching for a weapon, is he about to shift the car into drive and try to make a getaway, etc. If Hill handles this better from the start, none of this happens.............
However........... while the cops were largely correct in how they handled it up until that point, when they ripped open the door and ripped him out of the car, they went too far and that likely is going to land them in some hot water. My buddy said, even if they had opened the door, they could have let him step out or even just helped him out. They went 0-60 in like 2 seconds and ripped him out. It's tough to argue against Hill's claims that he was trying to get out himself because the cops were so quick to rip open the door and yank him out, not giving him any time to get out himself.
So as I said, no winners here.
