The Miami Dolphins called for punishment for the police officers who were involved in the detention of Tyreek Hill after the bodycam footage was released.
The Miami Dolphins broke their silence on the Tyreek Hill bodycam footage which showed the NFL star’s detention at the hands of the Miami-Dade Police Department.
The footage showed the intense moments when police officers initiated a traffic stop on Hill and the escalation to when it led to officers placing Hill in handcuffs on the ground and sitting him on the curb near his vehicle.
The Dolphins called for punishment for the officers involved.
«We are saddened by the overly aggressive and violent conduct direct towards Tyreek Hill, Calais Campbell and Jonnu Smith by police officers before yesterday’s game», the team said. «It is both maddening and heartbreaking to watch the very people we trust to protect our community and use such unnecessary force and hostility towards these players, yet it is also a reminder that not every situation like this ends in peace, as we are grateful this one did. ‘What if I wasn’t Tyreek Hill?’ is a question that will carry with resounding impact.
