Tyreek Hill called for a Miami police officer to be fired after he was arrested in shocking scenes on Sunday.
The Miami Dolphins star was dragged from his car, restrained and handcuffed after being arrested for reckless driving while en route to Hard Rock Stadium for the NFL team’s season opener.
The Miami-Dade Police Department placed an officer (later revealed to be Danny Torres, a 27-year veteran) on administrative leave amid an investigation into the incident.
Hill believes a higher price should be paid for what he claimed was “excessive” force used against him.
“After a careful and thorough review of multiple body cameras and videos from concerned citizens that captured the unfortunate events that occurred on Sunday, September 8, 2024, between several Miami Dade Police Department officers and Tyreek Hill, we demand the immediate termination of the officer who has been placed on administrative leave,” Hill said in a statement through attorney Julius B. Collins.
