Tyreek Hill body cam video
On Monday night, Miami-Dade police published the body cam footage from Miami-Dade police of the incident with Hill.
The clip starts with the officer getting off his motorcycle after pulling over Hill. The officer asks the wide receiver why he doesn’t have his seatbelt on before Hill rolls his window up, blocking clear communication with the officer.
After the officer repeatedly asks Hill to put the window back, he orders Hill to step out of the vehicle. Hill can be heard on the phone with his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, before he is pulled out of the vehicle. The officer can be seen grabbing Hill by the head/neck and forcing him into his stomach on the ground and eventually put into handcuffs.

The officers subsequently place Hill in a standing position and then instruct Hill to sit on the sidewalk. Hill resists, saying he just had surgery on his knee, and he continued to complain about his knee in the moments after.
About six minutes into the confrontation, one of the officers is heard asking his colleague, “You know who that is, right? He’s one of the Dolphin’s star players.
With Hill in handcuffs, other Dolphins are seen approaching the scene. The other police officers begin ordering the Miami members to back off and leave the area. One of those players is defensive end Calais Campbell, who eventually is put into handcuffs himself.
