The bodycam video is out for the Tyreek arrest, and it would be hilarious if it wasn't endemic to how cops act all over the country. Like, Calais Campbell got put in handcuffs and told he was arrested for pulling over to the side of the road and asking Tyreek if he was okay from about 20 feet away. Standing on a public way, not violating the law, given multiple unlawful orders, arrested for not obeying those orders. Tyreek was a bit of a dick on initial contact with the cop, but it isn't a law that you have to be polite to police - he handed over his ID and registration immediately, told the cop to write the ticket so he could get going otherwise he was going to be late, and then rolled up his window (there is no legal obligation to keep your window rolled down during a traffic stop as long as you give your ID/papers over when asked).

I also find it hilarious you can get 105 hours of bodycam footage the day after an incident when the victims are multiple multimillionaire star athletes, but normally it takes 6 monthss, multiple FOIA requests, and then it's put out during the Friday afternoon news dump.

I love how there was a public statement before the body cam footage came out that is basically full of lies. Then a day later this shit comes out.

Like what the hell is going on where ANYONE gets that kind of treatment for a damn speeding ticket.

The solution is CFB rules. Untimed, you get it at the 20 or 25, 1st and 10. Each team gets a possession. Because the FG is almost guaranteed, it encourages teams to go for TDs. Play til someone wins after both teams have had an equal number of possessions.

Even better - just use the TD and 2-pt conversion rule at the outset. Each team gets one possession, and continues if tied. The current rules are beyond ridiculous.
