(GoRealNewsNow.com) – National Football League (NFL) superstar Tyreek Hill saw himself in a puzzling and uncomfortable situation when police officers pushed him to the ground while arresting him during a traffic stop near Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
See the video further down this post.
Talking about the incident after the Dolphins’ victory over the Jaguars, Hill called the situation “crazy” and said he could not understand why the officers put him in handcuffs.
He told reporters he had “no idea” what led to the detention.
The NFL star was allegedly arrested for reckless driving and accused of speeding. Some passersby caught parts of the exchange between the star receiver and the officers on video just outside the stadium.
“I wasn’t disrespectful because my mom didn’t raise me that way,” Hill said about the encounter. “I didn’t cuss. I did none of that. I’m still trying to figure it out.”
In the video, Hill is seen lying on the ground, handcuffed, with additional footage showing him standing with his hands restrained behind his back. At one point, an officer seemed to move aggressively toward him.
After the game, a reporter asked Hill if an officer had put hands on him while he was handcuffed. Hill replied, “Yeah.”
Moreover, one of the officers involved has been placed on administrative duties, and the Miami-Dade Police Department announced it is conducting an “immediate review” of Hill’s detainment.
“That should tell you everything you need to know,” Hill claimed, referring to the news of the officer’s reassignment.
Several of Hill’s teammates stopped to assist him during the stop, while he expressed deep appreciation for their support.
“I’m just glad that my teammates were there to support me in that situation because I felt alone,” he stated.
Hill added, “When they showed it made me realize that we got a f–king good team this year. For them to put their life on the line, it was amazing to see.”
Hill’s teammate, Calais Campbell, mentioned that he was also placed in handcuffs at the scene.
