so you are saying they should treat him differently because he is famous?

Cops should be aware that if they fuck around with a famous person, they will definitely find out how it feels to face serious charges.

I wish it was the same for us poor people, but it's not.

Exactly. I’m not saying the cops should do it, but you’d think they’d take a moment to pause before harassing literally one of the most famous men in their city. If that doesn’t make them reconsider their actions, just imagine what it’s like for everyone else. Tyreek Hill even made a comment about it in a post-game press conference, where he wondered what would’ve happened to someone else.

No, the person is saying the cops should have been smarter. They didn't say, "the cops SHOULD HAVE done X." They said, "it's crazy that the cops DID do X."
