Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins was handcuffed and placed face down on a street outside the team’s stadium after he was stopped for speeding and reckless driving Sunday morning before the Dolphins’ first game of the season, an incident that left the star wide receiver baffled and resulted in a police officer being placed on administrative leave.

The officer, who was not identified, was one of at least three involved in detaining Hill. Some fans saw Hill being handcuffed and captured video on their way to the game, and it quickly went viral on social media.

Told after the game that the officer was placed on leave pending the outcome of the investigation, Hill said: “That should tell you everything you need to know.”

Now, if only they'd start doing this for racial profiling of people who aren't millionaires, THEN we'd be getting somewhere!

Not a fan of MDC cops but racial profiling when someone was caught speeding on a 35mph going to the stadium, a well-known route to him as is where he works, should happen to anyone speeding.

The unnecessary violence and moronery following should be the focus, as the reason of the stop was very clear.

Hard to tell but it could just as easily be a rich and entitled strong man trying to bully his way out of a ticket going up against a cop who likes to abuse his power.

I've seen cops get shouted down for pulling over a high school quarterback. So a "star wide receiver" for the state NFL team? Especially when it is clearly already being argued that the cops are why the dolphins loss or didn't win their first game as much?

Remember: The only thing more important than beating on the brown is beating on the poor.

He was accused of punching his girlfriend in college and got kicked off the team at Oklahoma State. In 2019, prosecutors in suburban Kansas City declined to charge Hill after an alleged domestic violence incident involving his fiancee and their 3-year-old child.

I don't trust cops, and having read that, I don't trust Tyreek Hill. So I guess we'll just see how this pans out.

Both sides can definitely be bad. It's like when Google and MS sue each other. I don't care who wins, I just want them to hurt each other.
