Source: Miami Herald

“Hours after Miami Dolphins All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill was handcuffed Sunday morning on his way to the team’s season-opening game against Jacksonville, the Miami-Dade Police Department announced the agency is investigating at least four officers involved in the stop — during which Hill was pinned to the ground. Video and photos posted to social media revealed a Miami-Dade officer with a knee on Hill’s back as he was detained adjacent to his luxury sports car, then sitting on the ground in handcuffs. … After the game, Hill told reporters he had ‘no idea’ why he was placed in handcuffs and said he ‘wasn’t disrespectful because my mom didn’t raise me that way.’ … MDPD Director Stephanie Daniels … said the department is examining how the stop escalated between officers and the NFL’s leading wideout. Daniels also said one of the four officers involved was placed on administrative duty.” (09/08/24)
