Video Shows Police Confrontation With Miami Dolphins Player Escalating Quickly
The New York Times
Body camera footage showed an officer pulling Tyreek Hill out of his car on Sunday after repeatedly ordering him to keep the window down during a traffic stop, apparently for speeding.
A traffic stop that led to Tyreek Hill, a wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, being handcuffed outside the team’s stadium on Sunday escalated quickly after a police officer knocked on the player’s car window and he objected, body camera footage of the incident shows.
The Miami-Dade Police Department released the video on Monday evening after initially delaying its release pending an internal affairs investigation into the officer’s actions. The investigation is ongoing.
Mr. Hill’s brief detention — he was later released and went on to score a touchdown in the Dolphins’ season opener on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars — prompted concerns about police use of force. The president of a local police union countered those accusations by saying that the officers had followed policy after Mr. Hill was being “uncooperative.”
One of the officers involved was temporarily reassigned to administrative duties. Stephanie V. Daniels, the Miami-Dade police director, told The Miami Herald on Monday that the officer was reassigned after a review of at least part of the footage.
Brief videos captured by passing drivers and posted on social media before the police body camera footage was released showed Mr. Hill, a 30-year-old star player for the Dolphins, being placed on the ground by officers and handcuffed.
The body camera footage from six officers was partially redacted but still much longer, comprising the roughly 27-minute traffic stop. It began shortly before an unidentified officer on a motorcycle pulled over Mr. Hill’s black McLaren, apparently for speeding, at around 10:17 a.m. on Sunday, not far from the entrance of Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla.
