Newly released body camera footage of the detainment of Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill shows Miami-Dade police officers doing and saying a number of things that have shocked millions.
The body cam video of Hill’s detainment Sunday morning outside of Hard Rock Stadium before the Dolphins’ season opener for the 2024 season was revealed on Monday night after cell phones caught him on the ground and being placed in handcuffs.
Hill was briefly handcuffed after he was stopped for a driving violation.
The star wide receiver had reportedly upset the cops by refusing to roll his window all the way down for them.
Once he wouldn’t comply, they ordered him to get out and promptly grabbed his arms and head and slammed him to the ground.
More recently released video and audio show Tyreek Hill conversing with the cops as he sat on the curb.
At one point during the detainment, Tyreek Hill brought out the race card when he said, “I’m just being a black man, that’s it. I’m just being black in America bro, that’s all it is.”
One cop wasn’t having it and responded with, “We’re dark too, brother. We’re people of color too, don’t play like that’s special.”
Following his release, Hill would be on the field helping his team score 13 unanswered points in the second half to give the club a 20-17 victory.
Hill had seven catches for 130 yards with his touchdown.
Tyreek Hill Explains 4-word Message After Bodycam Footage Released
Police bodycam footage of a traffic stop involving Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill, released on Monday, shows officers violently removing the NFL star wideout from his car before handcuffing him while he was on his stomach on the ground.
The 30-year-old was detained as he drove to Sunday’s home game between the Dolphins and the Jacksonville Jaguars at the Hard Rock Stadium.
After the release of the video, the Miami Dolphins star posted a four-word message on social media.
“Let’s make a change,” he wrote on X.
He would soon appear on CNN and was asked to explain what he meant.
“I’m not a big believer in diving people,” Hill said. “I don’t believe in all that. I believe in bringing people together because that’s my purpose in life. I do football camps all across the world trying to bring different people together … because we in this together, baby. We’re on this Earth together. We gotta live together.
“So, when I say, ‘Let’s make a change,’ let’s do it together. So, Miami PD, really all officers across the world, one officer doesn’t make the whole group look bad. Everybody has bad apples. Every team has bad apples. It’s my job to use my platform and my resources so that way I’m able to align with these different stations.
“We done tried it all. We done protest. We even took a knee. We done did walks. So what’s next? Me and my wife are brainstorming on how we can be a part of this change. It’s important to us. We want to be able to change lives all across the world – not just Miami.”
