Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill recently faced a devastating incident before the Dolphins’ season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The 30-year-old was arrested by Miami-Dade police after a brief argument with the officers. While many fans and players have reacted to the incident, Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Karl-Anthony Towns also shared his thoughts on the NFL star’s arrest.

In a recent post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Towns, who was recently spotted in Vegas with Paul George, expressed his disappointment with the Miami police. The four-time NBA All-Star mentioned that the incident was disturbing and disgusting and asked the question of what would happen if a normal person had done the same.

“That @cheetah police video is not only disturbing, but disgusting. Like he said, what would’ve happen if he wasn’t who he is?” Towns mentioned in his latest post on X.

The incident took place outside Hard Rock Stadium. Hill was driving his car when the officers stopped him. After opening the window, the Miami-Dade Police asked the 30-year-old to provide his license. They had a brief argument, which escalated to an arrest when the officers pulled Hill out of the car.

Hill’s teammate, Calais Campbell, was also present during the incident and tried to calm the situation. However, the officers arrested him because he tried to defend Hill. Later, Miami-Dade Police Department Director Stephanie V. Daniels mentioned that the officers were under investigation.

Fans Hold Contrasting Opinions on Towns’ Post

While many fans have already shown their anger over the officers’ behavior, several other fans also criticized Hill because of his attitude towards the officers. Many fans started criticizing Hill in the comment section of Towns’ post.

One fan said he had a better question than Towns: “What would’ve happened if he followed the officers’ instructions? Answer: nothing.”

Meanwhile, another fan said, “That shouldn’t play a factor at all. He’s not above the law. Going 105 in a 50? C’mon. If it was any normal person they’d be in jail. He’s lucky to get off like he did. And normal people would’ve just complied.”

Another fan questioned Towns, “Do you really not see that tyreek had an equal part in this situation. Both parties acted like idiots. What you people say about this?be real.”

According to StatMuse, Towns averaged 21.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in 62 games in the 2023-24 season. He was selected to play in his fourth All-Star Game. The Timberwolves star’s reaction has garnered the attention of several fans, and it will be fascinating to see if any player or analyst will join the fans in reacting to Towns’ post.
