How can there be "change" when you are intentionally not complying after having broken the law? What "change" are you asking to come from this? That you are allowed to break the law, then disrespect a police officer potentially putting his life at significant risk in future situations if your behavior is allowed to be the norm going forward? What change? Anarchy?

Cops have to be allowed to control the situation when someone is detained. If the detainee is intentionally not allowing for that control, you have to wonder what else are they capable of and take appropriate action/escalation. Fame changes the dynamic here a bit, I realize that, as Tyreek has a lot more to lose in the court of public opinion that Joe Schmo does, but that doesn't (or shouldn't) give a famous person carte blanche to treat an officer however they want. If your rights are trampled, sue afterward. Otherwise, comply and get your ticket (or potentially less if you're not giving the cop a hard time) and move along and everyone goes on with their lives.

I had actually put Tyreek's past in the past and forgiven him to some extent, but this dude is still very much a piece of work apparently.
