What happened during Tyreek Hill's traffic stop in Miami Gardens on Sunday?

Hill was stopped a block from Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday, hours before the Dolphins were scheduled to host the Jacksonville Jaguars for their Week 1 game.

According to bodycam footage released Monday by Miami-Dade police, the encounter between Hill and the first responding officer began as a routine traffic stop. The officer, who was riding a motorcycle, stopped Hill, knocked on the window of his McLaren 720S coupe and told him he was speeding.

“Stop knocking on my window like that,” Hill told the cop, repeating it at least seven times. “Give me my ticket, brother, and I'll go. Do what you gotta do.”

After Hill handed over his license, he rolled the window back up. The officer knocked on the window twice more.

“Roll down the window or I'll get you out of the car,” the officer said. “Actually, get out of the car. … Get out of the car right now. We're not playing this game. Get out. Get out!”

At least three police officers are seen dragging Hill, who was on the phone, out of the car and throwing him to the ground.

“Hey Drew, hey Drew, I'm under arrest, dude. I'm under arrest,” Hill said as he was taken to the ground. Hill spoke with Dolphins security chief Drew Brooks, who later arrived at the scene.

Hill was handcuffed and stood on the curb while another officer attempted to bring him to the ground in a sitting position.

“I just had knee surgery! I just had knee surgery!” Hill said. “Relax, brother, relax, brother.”

After forcing him to the ground, an officer said to Hill, “Were you having surgery on your ears when we told you to roll down the window?”

Hill complained several times of knee pain and repeatedly asked if he could get up, citing tendonitis.

“I'm not playing today, brother, because that guy messed up my knee. He really hit me in the knee on that damn concrete, brother,” Hill said.

Also seen in the body camera footage are teammates Jonnu Smith and Calais Campbell interacting with officers as they attempt to help Hill. Smith appeared to receive a ticket for failing to move his car. Campbell was briefly handcuffed after also refusing to leave the scene.

As the first officer explains to another officer what led to the stop, Hill can be heard in the background saying, “I'm just a black guy, that's all. I'm just a black guy in America, dude. … I'm just a black guy in America, dude, with a nice car.”

An officer told Hill that he had been charged with reckless driving and driving without a seatbelt.

After Brooks and Hill's agent Drew Rosenhaus joined him at the scene, Hill left the scene shaking hands with the officers who responded to the crash, including the one who first pulled him over. He told the officers, “Respect, seriously. It's nothing personal. I appreciate it. I appreciate it.”

“I still love you all,” Hill added as he walked away. “I still want to be an officer someday. I respect all of you.”

The Dolphins defeated the Jaguars 20-17. Hill caught seven passes for 130 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown.

What did Tyreek Hill say about the incident?

Hill said Wednesday he wished he could “go back and do things a little differently” in his encounter with police.

“Yes, I have to say I could have done better. I could have rolled down my window at that moment,” Hill said at a press conference. “… I don't want any attention, I don't want to be lit up by cameras or cell phones at that moment. But at the end of the day, I'm only human. I have to follow rules. I have to do what everyone else would do.”

“Does that give them the right to literally beat me up? Absolutely not. But at the end of the day, I wish I could go back and do things a little differently.”

This came a day after Hill and his legal team called for the firing of one of the officers involved in the case, Danny Torres.

“We believe the officer's use of force was excessive, escalating and reckless,” Hill and his lawyers said in a statement Tuesday evening. “We call for the officer's immediate firing.”

Hill reiterated later Wednesday that he believes Torres should be “gone.”

What citations were issued during the traffic stop in Tyreek Hill?

According to reports released Tuesday by Miami-Dade police, police estimated Hill's McLaren 720S Coupe was traveling about 60 miles per hour before being stopped. The speed limit on that stretch of road near Hard Rock Stadium is 40 miles per hour.

The officer who stopped Hill noted in shorthand on the tickets that he was speeding in an area with heavy car and pedestrian traffic – a combination of factors that likely led to the reckless driving ticket.

Hill must pay a fine of about $300 for the two tickets.

Which official is entrusted with administrative tasks by the MDPD?

The Miami-Dade Police Department launched an internal investigation into the Hill incident and announced that an officer had been assigned administrative duties.

Miami-Dade Police Director Stephanie Daniels said Monday that the police department released the bodycam footage as part of “our commitment to transparency,” despite an ongoing internal investigation.

“The department is committed to conducting a thorough and objective investigation into this matter, and we will continue to keep the public informed of the outcome of this process,” she said in a statement.

In a news release emailed to USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday, the MDPD identified Danny Torres, who has worked for the department for 27 years, as the officer assigned to administrative duties.

A lawyer for Torres called for his immediate reinstatement in a statement Tuesday. Meanwhile, several critics – including Hill's agent Drew Rosenhaus – have said they believe the officers involved in the traffic stop should be fired.

Did the officer in charge say anything?

No, Danny Torres has not commented publicly on the matter, but has hired lawyers to handle the case. His lawyers argue that it was “premature” to assign him administrative duties and are asking that their client be restored to his usual role.

“We are calling for our client's immediate reinstatement and a full, thorough and objective investigation, as Director Daniels has also requested,” attorneys Ignacio Alvarez and Israel Reyes said in a press release Tuesday. “Our client will not comment until that investigation is complete and the facts are fully revealed.”

How fast was Tyreek Hill going when he was stopped?

Hill was stopped by a police officer on a motorcycle just outside Hard Rock Stadium on Sept. 8 and informed that he was speeding. Officers later said they clocked Hill at 60 mph. Hill's official report, released Tuesday, described “high speed, visually estimated 60 mph.” The speed limit on the road where Hill was stopped is 40 mph.

Have the Miami Dolphins said anything about the matter?

The team issued a statement Monday saying it was “sadden by the officers' overly aggressive and violent behavior,” adding that it “will stand by Tyreek and our players as they seek to use their platform and this situation to make a positive impact” in Miami-Dade.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said his first reaction to the bodycam footage was “not shock, but sadness.”

Hill's teammate Calais Campbell said he felt police had used “excessive force” and was on the scene to defuse the situation.

“They tried to take him to the ground. I saw them kick him, pull him to the ground and handcuff him. His shoulders looked like they were broken. They took him to the ground. An officer put pressure on his head. It was completely unnecessary,” Campbell said Monday in an interview on ESPN's “First Take.”

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said it was “a little emotional” watching the body cam footage of the incident, but added that Hill has contacted some members of the team.

“When I look at the film, I think there are different ways that the situation could have been defused,” Tagovailoa said Tuesday. “I don't think it was done right. There are a lot of things that I think could have been done differently, but I know Tyreek brought a group of us together to do something and help change some things. He brought in some ideas and we met to talk about what we wanted to do.”

In a social media message posted Monday, Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey responded to the body cam footage, saying, “FIRE THEM IMMEDIATELY!”
