Newly released body camera footage of the detainment of Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill shows Miami-Dade police officers doing and saying a number of things that have shocked millions.

The body cam video of Hill’s detainment Sunday morning outside of Hard Rock Stadium before the Dolphins’ season opener for the 2024 season was revealed on Monday night after cell phones caught him on the ground and being placed in handcuffs.

Hill was briefly handcuffed after he was stopped for a driving violation.

The star wide receiver had reportedly upset the cops by refusing to roll his window all the way down for them.

Once he wouldn’t comply, they ordered him to get out and promptly grabbed his arms and head and slammed him to the ground.

More recently released video and audio show Tyreek Hill conversing with the cops as he sat on the curb.

 

At one point during the detainment, Tyreek Hill brought out the race card when he said, “I’m just being a black man, that’s it. I’m just being black in America bro, that’s all it is.”

One cop wasn’t having it and responded with, “We’re dark too, brother. We’re people of color too, don’t play like that’s special.”

Following his release, Hill would be on the field helping his team score 13 unanswered points in the second half to give the club a 20-17 victory.
