marissa parra is following this story.orter: we did hear from hill himself, he said in part, he's unsure what he did to warrant the incident of being put in handcuffs. unsure what would have happened if he's not the football star he's right now. that video recorded because he's recognizable to sports fans. a little bit of what we heard when he addressed reporters on this incident. >> i don't want to bring race into it, but sometimes, it gets kind of iffy when you do. what if i wasn't tyreek hill? >> he also added that he's grateful for the support that he's received since this, especially from his teammates. in terms of what we're hearing from the nfl, the spokesperson told our affiliate, the lead has been in contact with the dolphins, ellison, but they've declined to comment any further. >> marissa, what have we heard from the police department about this incident in. >> i'll start first with what we're hearing from the south florida pbaa voice for law enforcement, they maintain hill was not, quote, immediately cooperativ

of course, which is why marissa harv, other foreign ministry spokesman brought it up. the foreign minister himself, marguerite, to someone, not everyone that spoke out about this from russia, said, can you still see what you are doing? this is double standards. you are all about democracy and freedom of speech. it, you're shutting down and meet organizations that use or self ard meeting is so popular around the world. why is it so popular? could it be that maybe people are in dumb and we're not just amazing actors, but people actually agree that they're seeing different sides and they happen to agree with this angle with rushes angle. they seem they can be taking that into consideration. so again, margarita, someone young aside from up for us of question, was whether to laugh at this decision, saying that we're running out of popcorn here. this is ridiculous. what else? so we're going to here and next. but of course, this address, the very important issue about the double standards and what it means moving forward. of course, it's very easy to promote freedom of speech

nbc's marissa parra is in pinellas county.sman is tracking the storm's path. >> here is the deal, we've got most of the state of florida under tropical watches and warnings and alerts. you can see where the hurricane warning has been extended into georgia from the florida coast, mainly looking at the big bend stretching down to tampa. we've got the expected impacts far reaching across parts of the southeast, even into the tennessee valley through the next couple of days. we are nearing hurricane strength, we've got 70-mile-per-hour winds, northwest movement at 9 miles per hour. the system doesn't show any signs of slowing down. instead, it will enter the warm waters of the gulf of mexico, continue to intensify. we'll see wind shear, warm waters and plenty of moisture to tap into. it's going to be no surprise when it reaches major hurricane status as it approaches the florida coastline. the timing, about 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. tomorrow. places like tampa not in the cone. that doesn't mean the impacts won't be reaching across most o

marissa, a tough storm. >> yeah, historical on so many levels. right?ere i was in tallahassee it could have been so much worse, that little shift to the east helped tallahassee but made it so much worse for other areas along the nature coast. i want to talk about where we are because tallahassee, yes, you have about 70% of the county without power, mainly some downed trees. minimal damage. we decided to head least closer to helene made landfall. wwe are stuck on i-10. we knew it could be an issue it is shut down going east. we are trying to get toward lee. we are in madison county. we are in greenville. to the north of perry which is most closer to landfall, which took a huge hit and suffered immense damage if not catastrophic in spots. i 10 is shut down east. i don't even know how long this goes. it's complete darkness aside for the light we are providing. a lot of the people i spoke to say they have been going on now for about three hours. a lot of cars at this point shutting off gas because there is just no telling when we will move forward. if you l

>> marissa parra, thank you for that.imony might be? >> chris, police officers are very powerful, effective witnesses in trials against other police officers. we saw this in the case of the -- involving the four officers accused in the death of george floyd. jurors are frequently sympathetic to the difficulties of policework, and sometimes, they might want to give officers a break. they might think, even if the cop made a mistake, she was just trying to do her job. but what we heard today from this expert who's been on the force almost 20 years is that when these officers first approached mr. nichols, in his car, allegedly for a traffic stop, they had their guns drawn. that's not part of protocol. and the officers have said in other statements that mr. nichols wasn't cooperating, and he refused to turn over when they ordered him to turn over. so, the lieutenant today testified the reason for that is that he was handcuffed and at the same time that the officers were ordering mr. nichols to turn over, they were kicking him
