Dolphins player Tyreek Hill was placed on leave by a Miami-Dade officer

What if I wasn’t Tyreek Hill? A postgame interview with Jaycee Campbell and Jayce Smith in Miami-Dade

The incident deeply rattled the Miami Dolphins locker room ahead of Sunday’s game, which the Dolphins won 20-17. Hill scored one of the touchdowns in the victory.

I didn’t understand what the issue was, but I felt like he put handcuffs on me. But that just goes to show you our resilience, though,” Campbell said. We played a good football game, even after that, we got back in line and played well again. But that definitely was a interesting way to start a ball game.”

A traffic stop involving the Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill escalated rapidly on Sunday, as officers forcibly removed Hill from his car less than a minute after pulling him over and ultimately detained him in handcuffs for nearly 20 minutes, as footage released by the Miami-Dade Police Department shows.

Hill said he felt alone in the moment and was fortunate that his teammates, Calais Campbell and Jonnu Smith, showed up and tried to deescalate the situation.

“I’m not going to give you a version that I still don’t know what happened,” he said. “But I do want to be able to use this platform to say, ‘What if I wasn’t Tyreek Hill?’”

The police officer in Miami-dade was placed on leave after Hill was handcuffed and hauled away from the Dolphins game by the police.

“Obviously, everybody has bad apples in every situation, so I want to be able to use this platform to figure out a way to flip this and make it a positive on both ends — on my end, and then also Miami-Dade — so that way we can team together and do something positive for the community, cause that’s what it’s all about,” he said in a postgame interview. Hill said he wants to be a police officer one day.

Miami-Dade Police for Ccibly Handling Dolphins Star Tyreek Hill: Video Footage of the Dolphins’ First Game

The incident took place a short time before the start of a game between the Dolphins and the Jags and gained national attention on the first Sunday of the season.

On Monday, Miami-Dade police released more than 105 minutes of footage from officer-worn cameras “in our commitment to transparency and maintaining public trust,” department director Stephanie Daniels said in a statement.

The Dolphins criticized the behavior of some of the officers after the incident. The team called for the MDPD to take swift and strong action against the officers who engaged in such despicable behavior, because they were commending them for taking the right and necessary action.

One officer, whose name has not been released by police officials, has already been placed on administrative leave. The incident is under investigation, the department said.

The department is committed to conducting a thorough, objective investigation into this matter, and we will be updating the public on the outcome of that process.

The new footage shows the incident from start to finish, beginning with two officers on their motorcycles on a wide road just outside of Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. As a black sports car zips by, the officers pull away to pursue.

The time is 10:17 a.m. Eastern time, less than three hours before kickoff of that afternoon’s game between the Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars. Fans in Miami jerseys can be seen walking by.

The Officers Who Forcibly Pull Hill Out of His Car: On a Football Player in a Field-Theoretical Scenario

Soon, an officer declares, “We’re not playing this game.” In the footage, an officer can be seen opening the door of Hill’s car and reaching into the vehicle to forcibly pull him out, the officer’s hand grabbing the back of Hill’s head. Hill is taken to the ground by at least three police officers.

Shortly after, officers move Hill to the curb. When Hill does not immediately obey an order to sit down, rather than continue to stand, an officer — the same one who forcibly pulled Hill out of his car — runs over to physically force Hill to the ground.

The video shows officers yelling at Hill and other bystanders who try to de-escalate the situation, including his teammates, who are also seen in the recordings. Other officers behave more calmly. Hill is angry and upset about the way the officers conduct themselves.

Ultimately, Hill was cited for careless driving and failure to wear a seatbelt. The original officer who first decided to pursue Hill later estimated that the football player had been driving at 60 miles per hour. In one video, the man tells an officer that he had been going 55 in a 40 mile-per-hour zone.
