Bodycam Footage Shows Quick Escalation After Police Pulled Over Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill

The local police union defended the officers’ actions, saying Hill was detained and placed face down on the ground because he was not “immediately cooperative.”

Police officers in Florida quickly escalated their confrontation with Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, pulling him from his car and forcing him to the ground during a traffic stop this weekend, according to body camera footage released Monday.

Hill, 30, was detained Sunday on his way to Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium for the NFL season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Video footage shows officers speaking to Hill as he sits in his McLaren sports car. As he hands over documentation to an officer, he can be heard saying: “Don’t knock on my window like that.”

“Just give me my ticket, bro,” Hill says in the footage. “So I can go. I’m going to be late. Do what you got to do.”

As officers step away, Hill rolls up his window before the officer tells him to keep it rolled down.

“Keep your window down,” the officer says in the footage. “Keep your window down or I’m going to get you out of the car. As a matter of fact, get out of the car.”
