Tyreek Hill is detained by police before Dolphins game. Officer is subsequently placed on leave (apnews.com)

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.”

Daniels said in a statement earlier Sunday that she requested an “immediate review” of the details surrounding the incident, adding that the department would review available body camera footage.

So there is footage.

In a later statement, Daniels said: “I’m committed to transparency and accountability to the community with any situation involving my officers.”

Then release the fucking video!

Well they did, to many people via foia. Here's the full video with context.

Imo, Hill is not innocent in this but the officer came in way to hot. It turned from a rich asshole pulled over to rich asshole football player getting pulled over and ended with a ticket and a show. Hill didn't initially pull over, was speeding (55 in a 40), gave the cops a hard time and refused to get out of his car when asked. He comments he has a 9mm in the car too but that's pretty irrelevant I think as the cops didn't know that till he stated it when he was on the curb already.

The cop, as usual, escalated at every opportunity, actively threatened every one there, clearly on a power trip till he figured he was going to lose.

I will say one more thing, the entitlement of the players there is disgusting. Neither party is a good group here but wealth prevails. "You know he plays for the dolphins, right?"

Edit: I might be wrong about the speed, he wasn't charged with speeding. Also it looks like he did actually pull over when asked. Not sure if bike lights were on as audio was off
