Tyreek Hill calls for officer who pulled him over to be fired

SUMMARY

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is calling for the dismissal of the police officer involved in a tense pre-game encounter where he was pulled over, handcuffed, and forced to the ground. "It’s really crazy to know that you have officers in this world that would literally do that with body cams on," Hill said. The incident, which took place ahead of the Dolphins’ season opener, was captured on police body cameras and released Monday. The footage shows officers stopping Hill for speeding and not wearing a seatbelt. The situation escalated when Hill was non-compliant with officer orders, while rolling up his window, leading officers to forcibly remove him from the vehicle. Hill was pinned to the ground and handcuffed. Reflecting on the incident, Hill said, “I could have been better… but does that give them the right to literally beat the dog out of me? Absolutely not.” Hill is now calling for the officer to be fired, citing disrespect towards him and his teammates.
