We're cool. I get that your and people like monkeyman576's viewpoints on this are very different from one another. I'm not at all lumping you two together in my mind. I just very much don't agree with the view that he was being an ass and I felt compelled to point that out.
Did Tyreek do absolutely everything that he should have done? No, I don't think that at all either. I'm sure some expert on the topic could easily point out to us all what he should have done differently.
It's like Ragnar's "Mess with the bull, get the horns. That doesn't mean the bull was in the right." comment. I don't agree that he was "messing" with him either. Tyreek didn't want the officer damaging his vehicle and he wanted to get out of there as fast as he could. And if that meant he had to get a ticket, he was fine with it. Was he all flowery about it like a southern belle? No, but he wasn't "messing" with him.
