JS Rashid, an economic development consultant, expressed concerns about police behavior during a traffic stop involving Tyreek Hill, stating they often dehumanize African-American males. He articulated, "These officers were concerned about not obeying the law as much as obeying me. With African-American males, they dehumanize you. They make you lie on the ground, when they can very well let you stand up and talk." This captures the profound indictment of police treatment of Black individuals.
The Miami-Dade Black Affairs Advisory Board discussed the need for improved police relations following the violent traffic stop of Tyreek Hill, highlighting that the community faces consequential issues related to law enforcement. Their meeting, while not directly involving police, emphasized the urgency of addressing police misconduct in the ongoing community dialogue about representation and safety.
