Drew Rosenhaus and Tyreek Hill (Photos via Twitter)
Drew Rosenhaus, the agent of Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill, called out the Miami-Dade police officers who detained his client in a scathing rant.
On Sunday morning, Tyreek Hill was pulled over and detained by police officers for a traffic violation. Police bodycam video and witness footage shows officers acting unnecessarily aggressively toward Hill, having slammed him to the ground despite his calm demeanor.
Hill’s teammate, defensive tackle Calais Campbell, was also handcuffed by officers when he tried to de-escalate the situation. Both were eventually let go and got to Hard Rock Stadium in plenty of time for the season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
During his appearance on the “Dan Le Batard Show”, Drew Rosenhaus criticized the officers’ actions and called for them to be fired:
“For me, personally, I think the police officers that did that to Tyreek shouldn’t be in that position. They should be let go. Look at — the guy who just kicked him right there. That guy should be fired. That’s out of control.
The guy that jumped in [and] put him in a chokehold? There’s no place for a police officer to have a badge that operates like that when Tyreek wasn’t being aggressive or violent or fighting back in any capacity. That was horrendous how they treated him. They didn’t treat him like a human being.”
Wanting to be transparent with the public, the Miami-Dade Police Department released the bodycam footage of the Tyreek Hill incident on Monday evening. You can view it below, but please note that the video contains language that is NSFW and may be triggering for some viewers:
The 30-year-old Hill put the disturbing incident behind him and had a vintage performance against Jacksonville, finishing with seven receptions for 130 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown that commenced Miami’s comeback.
Miami Dolphins tacked on two Jason Sanders field goals in the fourth quarter to escape with a 20-17 victory. They host Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on “Thursday Night Football” in Week 2.
Tyreek Hill Wants To Make A Difference
Hill has every right to be angry and upset over how the Miami-Dade police officers treated him. But the future Hall of Famer is using his platform to try and help make a positive change and bringing more attention towards police brutality in the United States (asking reporters after Sunday’s game, “What if I wasn’t Tyreek Hill?”
Miami-Dade Police Department Director Stephanie V. Daniels announced on Sunday that one of the officers had been placed on administrative leave. We’ll find out soon enough if the other officers will be reprimanded for their unnecessary and aggressive behavior towards Hill.
