The Miami-Dade Police Department placed an officer on administrative leave Sunday after Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill was detained prior to the start of the season-opening game.
On Sunday morning, just hours before kickoff, Hill was detained for a short time by police after a traffic incident, the team said on social media. Miami-Dade Police Department Director Stephanie V. Daniels said Sunday that an investigation has begun into the incident and one of the officers involved is being placed on administrative duties. A second Dolphins player said he was also handcuffed when trying to discuss the situation with officers at the scene.
“He has since been released. Several teammates saw the incident and stopped to offer support. Tyreek and all other players involved have safely arrived to the stadium and will be available for today’s game.”
Reported video of the incident appeared to show a handcuffed Hill being picked up off the road by police.
After the game, Dolphins defensive tackle Calais Campbell said he was also put in handcuffs by police when he attempted to intercede and “deescalate” the situation.
“They put handcuffs on me too, and I was like ‘What’s going on?’ I didn’t understand what the issue was,” Campbell told NFL Network. “For him to put handcuffs on me, I felt some type of way.

Hill getting “cuffed” after his TD catch….
At least they didn’t cuff Snowflake.
Policing in America is out of control. People are sick of it, at what point is enough just enough and people strike back?
You’re right. It’s out of control. Especially where there isn’t any.
We’ll see if the ol’ forgot to turn it on excuse is used or if there was a legitimate reason for it to escalate to that extent.
Idiotic comment. They are pulling people out of cars for minor infractions, refusing to show evidence that would end things there instead of wasting court time, small towns and villages paying them to fill the coffers, ripping off the taxpayers. Qualified immunity, two tiered justice system. Does that sound good to you?
The cops really don’t want your help. Really. They don’t know when some helpful citizen might turn out to be an accomplice. Metro-Dade cops were wound really tight back in the ‘80s. They may not be any better, now.
Just because he plays football does not allow him to be above the law. He thought he was special and mouthed off.
And then they dissed his homeboys. For shame.
Was his “moving violation” reckless driving in his sportscar?
Oh boo hoo. Yeah black six-foot-eight 400-pounders with twelve white girlfriends each, making multi-millions a year and you feel sorry for their asses. You are truly a cuckold.
You’re right. It’s out of control. Especially where there isn’t any.
Only morons try to “deescalate” an active traffic stop. That’s a good way to get shot.
” Boy, you in a heap o’ trouble.”
If someone looks for this Police Dept on you tube they would find videos of bad cops in the videos. This Dept has a very bad reputation.
Careful, the bootlicker brigade on here is going to come after you.
Just like the general population, some police are noble servants and others are punks.
What can I say other than two of our societis finest, cops who think they are above the law and “professional” ball chasers that think THEY are above the law. Dumb and dumber.
At least they didn’t cuff Snowflake.
“Laces Out, Dan!”
I once got pulled over by a nice cop on I70 leaving KC for driving too slow in the left lane. (I could see them three miles down the road). To make matters worse, I was wearing my Steelers tee shirt and Pittsburg had just beaten the Cheifs the week before. He gave me a warning and I thanked him and exresssed my surprise at his graceousness, given my fan loyalty. He laughed and said he’d met many of the Cheifs under better or much much worse circumstances.
