    I find it interesting how some folks feel this is entirely an issue of policing gone wrong. There can be no fault for Tyreek here, apparently.

    In Florida, the traffic code states that not following an officer’s lawful order or direction is a misdemeanor offense. It allows the police officer to remove Tyreek from his car and cuff him.

      Demanding someone roll down their window is not a lawful order.

      You’re required to hand over your license and registration and proof of insurance and that’s it.

      I find it interesting that some folks suck off the pigs no matter what the circumstance.

      I find it interesting that you didn’t bother to consider what a “lawful order” is. If the cops order you to brush your teeth, do you have to comply?

      I’m not being facetious. Seriously, if you wanna make a list of every order that you think the cops could give you that you would have to obey, I’d be interested in reading it. We’ll be happy to go through it point-by-point and show the civil rights issues contained therein.
