The Miami-Dade Police Department on Monday released officers’ bodycam footage of the incident involving Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
Miami-Dade Police Director Stephane V. Daniels said more than an hour of footage was going to be released as part of a commitment to transparency. An investigation into the incident is ongoing and an officer involved in the situation was placed on “administrative duties.”

The footage starts with police officers pulling up next to Hill’s vehicle and telling him he was speeding. Hill asked how fast he was going but was instructed to pull over.
The officer knocked on the window and Hill told the officer not to knock on his window like that as he handed over his driver’s license. Hill then told the officer to give him his ticket and rolled the window back up. The officer demanded that Hill keep his window down.
“Keep your window down, or I’m going to get you out of the car. As a matter of fact, get out of the car,” the officer said.
A second officer threatened to break the window.
“We’re not playing this game,” another officer said as the bodycam showed one officer open the door, reach into Hill’s vehicle and pull him out of the vehicle with a third officer’s help.
“Hey Drew, I’m getting arrested Drew,” Hill was heard saying, apparently speaking with his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.
One officer said, “When we tell you to do something, you do it, not what you want. But when we tell you. You’re a little f—ing confused.”

“Take me to jail, bruh. Do what you got to do,” Hill responded as he laid on the ground.
A bystander in a separate vehicle near the incident appeared to ask what was happening with Hill. The wide receiver responded, “I didn’t do nothing.”
Officers guided Hill to a sitting position on the curb next to his vehicle. Hill told them he had surgery on his knee as he was going down, and one officer asked if he had surgery on his ears.
Another officer on the scene asked the officer whose bodycam footage was released whether he knew who the man was that was sitting on the ground. The officer on the bodycam said he didn’t know who he was, and the other officer responded, “That’s one of the Dolphins’ star players.”
The officer wearing the bodycam explained to a superior what had happened. In the background, Hill was yelling, “I’m just being a Black man, that’s it.”
Hill was issued traffic citations and left in the passenger seat of his vehicle with Rosenhaus.
Dolphins defensive lineman Calais Campbell walked up to the scene with his hands up about four minutes into the footage. He was ordered to back up away from the scene or he would be handcuffed as well. Campbell said he wanted to know what happened.
Campbell was later placed in handcuffs.
The officer who addressed Campbell also went over to Jonnu Smith, who was pulled over on the side as well, trying to make sure everything was OK. The officer demanded Smith’s license.
