    TBF, he still got some preferential treatment, which he said himself. What if he wasn’t Tyreek Hill?

      The preferential treatment was that the body cams were just muted during the cover up and not all accidentally turned off for the entire encounter, not getting beaten up, tased or shot.

      I mean as far as preferential treatment goes I’d take that deal, but the fact remains he was pulled out of his car, roughed up, taken to the floor and handcuffed for 18minutes for no reason when the cop should have been writing him a (dubious) ticket.

      There are at least 2 cops here who should not be cops and the rest need to be retrained to ensure they step in if they see mistreatment like this again, for face being fired.
