Bodycam video of Tyreek Hill's arrest before Dolphins game released by police | News, scores, highlights, stats and rumors

On Monday, Miami-Dade police bodycam footage was released showing Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill being arrested as he made his way to the stadium for Sunday's game.

The Sun Guardian shared some of the footage:

The video shows Hill asking the officer to “give him my ticket so I can leave” because he was going to be late for the game. The officer then becomes angry as Hill rolls up his window and then tells the recipient to “get out of the car right now. We're not playing this game.”

He is then forcibly dragged out of the car by police and shoved to the ground by several officers. Hill can be heard telling someone on the phone that he is being arrested.

“If we tell you to do something, do it,” an officer then says.

TMZ Sports has released a longer clip of the footage in which Hill tells officers he has just had knee surgery while one of them forces him to the sidewalk.

The release of the footage comes after Steadman Stahl, president of the South Florida Police Benevolent Association, issued the following statement: ESPN:

“There was an incident prior to yesterday's Dolphins game where Tyreek Hill was handcuffed and then released. First of all, to be clear, he was never under arrest. He was briefly detained for safety reasons after driving in a manner that placed himself and others in grave danger.

“After being stopped, Mr. Hill did not immediately cooperate with the police officers on the scene, who handcuffed Mr. Hill in accordance with regulations and for their immediate safety. Mr. Hill, still not cooperating, refused to sit on the ground and was therefore ordered back to the ground.

“After the situation was resolved within a few minutes, Mr. Hill received two tickets and was allowed to leave.”

Darlington reported in this ESPN article that Hill was charged with reckless driving and failure to wear a seatbelt. Campbell was not charged despite his arrest.

Hill's attorney, Julius Collins, said he was exploring “all legal options” after “excessive” force was used. Stephanie V. Daniels, director of the Miami-Dade Police Department, said one of the officers had been “placed on administrative duties for the duration of the investigation.”

Hill was asked about the interaction after the game.

“Right now, I'm still trying to piece it all together… I still don't know what happened,” he said. “But I want to use this platform to say, 'What if I wasn't Tyreek Hill?' Worst case scenario, you know? … Everyone has black sheep in every situation, but I want to use this platform to find a way to turn this around and make something positive out of it for myself and Miami-Dade and do something positive for the community.”

“It's hard. I don't want to bring race into it, but sometimes it gets kind of tricky when you do that. What if I wasn't Tyreek Hill? God knows what those guys would have done. I just wanted to make sure I did what my uncle always told me to do when I'm in that situation – put my hands on the wheel and just listen.”

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel also spoke about it during his post-game press conference.

“It's hard for me not to get more and more angry the more I think about it,” McDaniel said. “And that's because of my teammates and because I tried to put myself emotionally in the situation that they described… I think what's getting me down, to be perfectly honest, is knowing that I don't know exactly what that feels like.”

Hill eventually played in the game that ended in a 20-17 victory over the Jaguars.

He finished the game with seven catches for 130 yards and a touchdown, conspicuously putting his hands behind his back as he celebrated the goal.
