View Date:2024-12-24 02:49:04
Despite all the action on the field during the first Sunday of the NFL season, the biggest story may have come before games even kicked off. All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill was on his way to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, when he was pulled over by police for speeding.
The resulting confrontation, as recorded on an officer's body camera that was released by police on Monday, showed Hill, 30, being forcibly removed from his car, thrown to the ground and handcuffed.
The Miami-Dade Police Department launched an internal affairs investigation into the incident, and announced an officer was placed on administrative duties following the incident.

Why did Tyreek Hill get detained by police?
The incident began as a routine traffic stop, with police asking Hill for his driver's license.
According to body-camera footage released by police, Hill told the officer, "Don't knock on my window like that," repeating the phrase at least seven times. "Give me my ticket, bro, so I can go. Do what you have to do," he said.
After Hill turned over his license, he rolled his window up again. The officer knocked on the window twice more.
"Keep your window down or I’m going to get you out of the car," the officer said. "As a matter of fact, get out of the car. … Get out of the car right now. We’re not playing this game. Get out. Get out!”
On the body-cam video, at least three officers are seen pulling Hill out of the car and onto the ground.
