Video of Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill heading to Hard Rock Stadium for the NFL game against the Jacksonville Jaguars is making the rounds online.
The cops signal the player to stop as he was speeding. They approach the luxury vehicle and ask Hill to roll down his window. “Don’t hit my window like that” the famous player can be heard saying as he rolls up the window again.
The policeman gets angry. She asks him why he isn’t wearing a belt. Hill doesn’t answer and repeats “Don’t hit my window like that” he says. He asks to be cut off so he won’t be late. “Do what you have to do.” The policeman opens the door, pulls him out and throws him to the ground. “When we tell you to do something, you do it. Do you understand? Do you understand? Not what you want, but what we tell you. You’re a little confused,” the policeman tells him.

While Hill is handcuffed by the officer who initially knocked on the window, he is informed by a colleague that he is “the Dolphins’ star player.” After a discussion Hill takes his call and leaves.
“They would have shot me”
The famous Dolphins player spoke about what happened. “If I hadn’t been Tyreek Hill, God knows what would have happened, I probably would have been shot, at worst, or locked up,” he said.
“They would have put me behind bars, you know, for a simple speeding summons. And it’s crazy that the police would take it to this level,” he said.
Hill insisted he was cooperative with police, rolled down his window and provided identification. He said he was in no rush because he was near Hard Rock Stadium and had no reason to run.
“It just went from 0 to 60, man, from the moment these guys pulled up behind me, hit my window, it went from 0 to 60 instantly,” he stated.
The Miami-Dade Police Department has launched an investigation into the incident and at least one officer has been removed from the force. A police union spokesman said Hill was to blame for not being “immediately” cooperative with officers.
