Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill recently met with local police this week to discuss the fallout from Miami-Dade officers detaining him prior to a Week 1 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaking to reporters about the meetings Thursday, Hill explained “there’s been some small steps moved forward” but didn’t offer specific information about what was discussed.
“Right now, I want to do a good job of keeping that private. When everything’s happened, it’s going to happen. We’ll kind of lean on you guys to get the word out and spread the message, but right now it’s just small conversations. It’s almost like contract negotiations,” he said.
The Sun Sentinel released some of the bodycam video from one of the officers involved in the situation from Sept. 8.
Hill is heard in the video asking the officer to “give me my ticket so I can go” because he was going to be late to the stadium for the game. The officer becomes upset when Hill rolls his car window up, telling him to “get out of the car right now.”
After the driver-side door opens, the officers forcefully grab Hill out of the vehicle before pushing him to the ground and holding him down.
One of the officers, Danny Torres, was placed on administrative duties by the Miami-Dade Police Department while an internal affairs investigation is ongoing.
Hill called for the officer who detained and handcuffed him to be arrested during a Sept. 11 press conference.
Hill and Calais Campbell, who arrived at the scene and was placed in handcuffs while attempting to deescalate the situation, both played in Week 1 against the Jaguars.
