(RedState) Last Sunday a Dolphin (not the aquatic kind) was streaming down a Florida highway at over 100 mph. This Dolphin, Tyreek Hill, was apparently in a big hurry as he headed to Hard Rock Stadium, as it was Week One of the NFL season.
Hill is a shifty wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, and maybe he was just locked into a “gameday” mode and not paying attention to his speed. But the local cops didn’t like that he was driving dangerously fast – over twice the speed limit on that highway. Like anyone clocked by the police going faster than Marty McFly in a DeLorean, Hill was pulled over. It wasn’t an “I stopped you because your taillight was out” stop. Hill was stopped because he was imitating “Fast and Furious” but with the potential of killing real people.
We know for certain that the stop was lawful. Hill doesn’t dispute that part. It was conducted by traffic cops, which we know because all video of the incident shows Tyreek Hill surrounded by motorcycle cops (technically off their bikes) who, undoubtedly, were at the stadium for traffic control.
Hill’s “ride” was a $350,000 McLaren 720S. That rocket-with-wheels has a top speed of over 212 mph and goes from 0-60 in 2.8 seconds.
Hill was appropriately pulled over, about a block short of the stadium. Maybe he assumed he would get a “GO FISH!” fist-pump from the officer because pro athletes have God complexes and egos the size of Manhattan. What happened next is up for debate.
What we know is this: Hill was driving fast enough to instantly kill someone crossing the street and he was handcuffed and ended up on the ground. But, I will happily speculate on the rest because everyone else in the media is speculating.
Jamele Hill (no relation that I know of) took 2.8 seconds to conclude that Tyreek Hill was racially targeted, handcuffed, and abused because he is a black man and… Orange Man Bad. Race-baiting is the laziest and most predictable, knee-jerk in Jamele’s career. “Racism” is her reflex. She wrote:
A reminder that Stephen Ross, owner of the Miami Dolphins, is a huge Donald Trump supporter — the same Trump who supports giving ALL police immunity from prosecution. Do with that what you will.

What, the… What? Yeah, ok Jamele. Never mind that Trump didn’t say that but, what is new…
And Stephen A. Smith, ESPN’s vastly overpaid loudmouth stepped in to offer his take. Without a breath of context, Smith was sure that Tyreek Hill was targeted for… you know.
Look for yourself. This is b.s. Totally unnecessary. And btw…., I know the Scottie Scheffler incident was in Georgia — not Florida — and he was arrested, detained, booked. I also know we don’t know all the details, blah….blah…..blah! But he wasn’t faced down on the ground in… https://t.co/JfeKOlh5Mf

Tyreek Hill mocked his detention during the Dolphins vs Jacksonville game with a “cuff-me” exhibition. After the game, he claimed the following:
