MIAMI, FL Explosive new body cam footage reveals a shocking incident involving Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill and Miami-Dade police officers. The video shows Hill being forcibly dragged from his car and thrown to the ground by officers, before being cuffed like a common criminal.

Hill was initially pulled over for speeding near Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday. The situation went south in less than a minute after an officer approached Hill’s car, banged on his window, and demanded he roll it down. Hill handed over his license and told the officer to stop knocking, but things quickly escalated when Hill rolled his window back up.

“Just give me my ticket, bro, so I can go. I’m gonna be late. Do what you gotta do,” Hill said, clearly frustrated.

The officer was having none of it. “Keep your window down,” he demanded, pounding on the glass again. When Hill didn’t comply fast enough, the officer warned, “I’m going to get you out of the car.” Moments later, they yanked him out, forced him to the ground, and slapped on the cuffs.

Hill later described the ordeal as going “from 0 to 60” from the moment officers arrived. He tried to comply, saying, “I’m gonna get out,” but was immediately manhandled. As he was forced to the ground, another officer shoved a knee into his back, barking at him to “stop crying.”

“I was opening my door and I was going to get out, you know what I’m saying, but it felt like they was wanting me to move fast.”

Officers taunted Hill, calling him “confused” and doubting his claims of a recent knee surgery. “Oh really? What a coincidence,” one officer sneered. “Did you have surgery on your ears when we told you to put the window down?”

Dolphins players Jonnu Smith and Calais Campbell arrived at the scene, trying to de-escalate, but they were met with similar hostility. Smith, standing nearby, was asked for ID, while Campbell raised his arms in surrender but was still detained.

One officer eventually recognized Hill, but it did little to change their approach. “You know who that is, right?” he asked. “One of the Dolphins’ star players.” Even so, they continued to hold him down and berate him.

Hill was finally released after 25 minutes when the Dolphins’ director of security and his agent arrived. As he left, Hill warned officers, “I’ll see y’all in court.”

“I’ll tell you like this — your job is to serve and protect, right?” Hill said. “You’re doing a horrible job of protecting right now. I told you, I’m not going to run … That’s only going to make matters worse.”

Hill verbally complied with the officers’ orders throughout the footage. At least one officer attempted to reason with Hill and de-escalate the situation as bystanders filmed the incident from both the sidewalk and their vehicles.

“I’m just being a Black man, that’s it,” Hill called out. “I’m just being Black in America.”

“We’re dark, too, brother,” one officer replied. “We’re people of color, too. Don’t play like that’s special.”

Reflecting on the incident, Hill said: “If I wasn’t Tyreek Hill, Lord knows, I probably would have been, like, worst-case scenario, I would have been shot or would have been locked up” and “put behind bars, you know, for a simple speeding ticket,” Hill told NBC News.

“I was opening my door and I was going to get out, you know what I’m saying, but it felt like they was wanting me to move fast.”

The Dolphins responded with a statement condemning the “overly aggressive and violent conduct” of the officers, calling it “maddening and heartbreaking.” They urged swift action against the officers involved, while also praising the quick release of the footage by the Miami-Dade Police Department.

Hill caught 7 passes for 130 yards and an 80-yard touchdown in the Dolphins win Sunday over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Meanwhile, the South Florida Police Benevolent Association doubled down, claiming Hill was “uncooperative” and that the officers acted for their own safety. President Steadman Stahl alleged that Hill escalated the situation and could have made things easier by complying.

This incident raises serious questions about the use of force by police and the treatment of prominent athletes under the law. The Dolphins organization, along with Hill, promises to use this experience to push for positive change in the community.
