Even a NFL player can get dragged out by the neck. |
This did not make it to the debate.
Miami Dolphins and the NFL reacted to Sunday's incident involving wide receiver Tyreek Hill being pulled out of his Lamborghini and violently detained by Miami-Dade Police.
All over a speeding violation.
The U.S. law enforcement agencies get trained by Israel. That stuff must come to an end.
This is all tactics by Israelis. They done stuff like this to Palestinians. They share this stuff with police unions and it is unethical and practically dangerous.
On September 8, 2024, hours before the Miami Dolphins were set to begin their season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Hill was pulled over by officers outside of the Dolphins stadium while he was on his way to the game. Video, which was filmed by fans, was uploaded to social media and instantly made national news. The video showed Hill being detained in handcuffs and forced to the ground by three officers who were on top of him holding him down. Hill claimed in a statement following the game that he was accused of speeding and reckless driving and had no idea why the situation escalated like it did. “I wasn’t disrespectful because my mom didn’t raise me that way. Didn’t cuss. Didn’t do none of that. So like I said, I’m still trying to figure it out, man." Steadman Stahl, president of the South Florida Police Benevolent Association, said Hill wasn't being cooperative and that he was “redirected” to the ground after refusing to sit when he was briefly detained. Julius B. Collins, Hill's attorney, said that the traffic stop escalated when Hill gave officers his license and rolled his window back up. “One of the officers then knocked on Mr. Hill’s driver side window and advised Mr. Hill to keep his window rolled down otherwise he was going to get him out of the car" and that officers followed policy in handcuffing Hill. "Mr. Hill was not immediately cooperative with the officers on the scene who, pursuant to policy and for their immediate safety, placed Mr. Hill in handcuffs. Mr. Hill, still uncooperative, refused to sit on the ground and was therefore redirected to the ground. Once the situation was sorted out within a few minutes, Mr. Hill was issued two traffic citations and was free to leave” Stahl said.
Hill's teammate, Calais Campbell, who was also on his way to the game, stopped and got involved in an attempt to de-escalate the sitution. Campbell got out of his car with his hands up above his head and approached the scene, informing officers that he was a friend of Hill's. He remained at the scene to “support” Hill after he said officers asked him to leave. Police later placed him in handcuffs for “disobeying a direct order" by being too close. “They were trying to yank him down to the ground. I saw them kick him and pull him down ... I feel like one officer was pushing on his head” Campbell said to ESPN. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spoke on the incident saying “I was pleased to see he did well in the game and it was good for the team, what happened on the field. I have confidence in agencies throughout this state that they want to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and if for some reason that wasn’t followed here I know they will make that clear. But I’ll let that investigation take place.” One of the officers involved was placed on administrative leave following the incident and pending an internal investigation. Miami-Dade Police director Stephanie Daniels told the Miami Herald that the decision to place the officer on leave came after a review of the body camera footage from the roadside incident.
Hill does a little trolling. |
Despite the incident, Hill played in that afternoon's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he finished with seven catches for 130 yards and one touchdown in a 20–17 win.
The far right are calling out Hill for not complying. The left is retorting to Ashli Babbitt whenever they resort to police encounters. Babbitt did not comply and got shot by U.S. Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd. He did everything to protect members of Congress during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection.
Hill has some controveries in the past but that is irrelevant. What the police did was an overreaction to a situation. It should just being a citation and on your way. But how these morons go from 0 to 100, it proves that many of cops are trigger happy.
