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.

Where’s the website confirming that how mouthed off?
And it scares me terribly that you think that “mouthing off” is enough to be put in handcuffs.
You didn’t say threatened or harassed...simply mouthed off.
Just wow.
Bro what the #### does their color or weight or how many girlfriends of whatever race or ethnicity they have matter AT ALL??
And no one said they felt sorry. Just that it needs explaining.
I think you’re on the wrong site.
Stormfront is down the block.
I suggest that we wait for the facts to come in. Police typically don’t handcuffs people for no reason.
Unbelievable... You want to wait for facts...🤣🤣🤣
Really? Not some other type of way?
That advice works for middle-aged white chicks, too.
Thank you, Chris Rock!
Oh, a big NSFW on the language from the Chris Rock video...
Hill is 5’10” and 190
I have no idea what you’re talking about. In my area the quality of life has gone down as the police no longer seem to be around.
You win the thread with “dumb vs dumber”.
Let them go at it.
Kicked him and he looks like a black patrolman.
Black on black.
Or black shirt sleeves?
4 Runner. The rules on Free Republic are that you behave in a respectful manner and don’t call the other members names. There are better ways to make your point.
Tyreek says he didn’t mouth off. The policeman has been placed on leave. It sounds as though the policeman was over reaching. People really are sick of police acting like bullies, picking the minor, safe infractions to enforce while letting the dangerous ones go.
Don’t ever try to “de-escalate” an arrest
Hill’s uncle may have watched that because he told Hill to keep your hands on the steering wheel and listen.
Tyreek is a hothead that has had multiple issues but in this case we have to wait and see what happened.
At the point where he is being dragged to the ground they had to know who he was. The fact that they would do this when they knew people were filming and shouting are you okay tyreek does make me wonder what happened here. They knew he was on the way to a game. At a minimum you dont want to harm a guy getting ready to play an NFL game unless you have to.
Bettors all over the world were freaked out when the news broke. I was in the middle of betting on him for an any time TD when it disappeared from my betslip.
A lot of people joked that the cop must have been on the Jags.
For those that dont know, Hill wants to be a cop when he retires. It is going to be very interesting as to how this plays out.
Tyreek may have cause to sue but then what happens when he wants to be a cop.
He has to walk a line on this one.
That's OK ... the 'officers' all went home safely, and that is the ONLY thing that matters.
He may say he wants to be a cop.
Talk is cheap.
