Tyreek Hill's traffic stop before his team’s season opener was released on Monday .

The Miami Dolphins receiver posed a pertinent question: “What if I was n’t Tyreek ,” he said.

The question is surely, yes, yes. Hill can't do what white people do, writes Roland Martin .

Etan Thomas : When Black people are stopped by the police, we are tasked with deescalating a situation that is only escalated in the first place because of the color of our skin.

We live in a society where cops have the freedom and protection to act on impulse, he says.

When people are given free rein to behave however they want in positions of power, situations like Sunday are inevitable.
