Camera footage shows police pulled Tyreek Hill out of car - ESPN

MIAMI — Newly released body camera footage of the detainment of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill shows Miami Dade police officers pulled the star player out of his car and forced him to the pavement before placing him in handcuffs.

The footage shows Hill was originally pulled over for speeding while approaching Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday. It took approximately one minute from when the officer left his motorcycle and started walking towards Hill's car to when he was forcefully pulled out.

Upon arrival, the officer knocked on Hill's car window, prompting Hill to roll down the window, hand the officer his driver's license and repeatedly tell the officer not to knock on his window. The footage also shows that the officer asked Hill to keep his window down. The incident escalated when Hill didn't comply.

Hill told the officer, «Give me my ticket, bro, so I can go, I'm gonna be late. Do what you gotta do,» and rolled his window back up.

«Keep your window down,» the officer told him, tapping on the glass. The officer paused for about five seconds and looked around. He told Hill again to keep the window down or «I am going to get you out of the car. As a matter of fact, get out of the car.»

After the officer ultimately asked Hill to exit his vehicle, Hill then said, «I'm gonna get out, I'm gonna get out.» As the officer opened door, and removed Hill, the receiver said, «I'm getting out!» At that point, another officer grabbed Hill by the back of the head and neck area and forced him to the pavement to place him in handcuffs.

«It just went from 0 to 60, man, from the moment that those guys pulled up behind me, knocked on my window, it went from 0 to 60 immediately,» Hill said Monday in an interview with NBC Nightly News.
