Samir Hill, a 5-foot-7 point guard at Allegany College of Maryland, was playing against some neighborhood kids when the officers approached, reported Complex.
The 21-year-old Hill said the officers joked that they didn’t look very good and “started talking trash” – so he challenged them to a game.
“We gave them ball first, (and) I was playing on the court two-on-two with my friend Josh — they almost scored on him,” Hill said, as his friend loudly protested in the background. “We get the ball, and everybody starts pulling out their cameras. The first cop, I crossed him and laid it up.”
A pair of short video clips posted on Vine, showing Hill beating the officers on crossover dribbles, went viral.

Hill never learned the officers’ names, but he said they tried to arrest him two days later, after pro athletes — including former NFL star Chad Johnson — shared the video clips on social media.
“I think it was because of the video, but they said it was the people I was around,” Hill said. “I don’t think it was that though, because most of the kids I hang around are college kids. I think they just wanted to take me down to the district to show who I was.”
I'm gonna say, that's just extremely not cool. Even though he was let go without any charges, the potential good will that might have been built between them having a friendly exchange on the court was unfortunately destroyed when they decided to abuse their power and try to humiliate him in the station they way they had been humiliated on the court and on the net.
It's not murder, it's not a crime, but it's a lack of class and it's a lack of being able to "take it like a man" that sometimes does lead to uncalled for acts of retaliation, violence, brutality and as we've seen recently with Walter Scott, murder.
