Tyreek Hill ‘still trying’ to process pregame detainment by police

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Several Dolphins players were arrested by Miami-Dade Police Department officers before Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, including All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Hill said he was arrested on his way to Hard Rock Stadium about three hours before kickoff. He was eventually handcuffed after a “verbal altercation,” sources told ESPN’s Jeff Darlington. Hill was cited for reckless driving, Darlington sources said. He was released after a few minutes, but the incident was filmed by fans nearby and quickly went viral on social media. Hill said he didn’t know why the situation escalated the way it did. At the moment, I’m still trying to put everything together…

I don’t know what happened yet,” he said after the game. “But I want to use this platform to say, ‘What if it wasn’t Tyreek Hill?’ me and for Miami-Dade and do something positive for the community. “It’s difficult. I don’t want to bring up the topic of race, but sometimes it gets a bit controversial. What if it wasn’t Tyreek Hill? God knows what these people would have done.

I just wanted to make sure I did what my uncle always told me to do whenever I was in a situation like this: put my hands on the wheel and listen. »Hill said he had “no idea” why the officers handcuffed him; he said he did not show any disrespect or insult to the police officers. Dolphins offensive tackle Terron Armstead said Hill was “very upset but ready to play” when he entered the locker room before the game. Hill had a 130-yard game against the Jaguars, including an 80-yard run — the longest of his career.

After the game, Hill celebrated by putting his hands behind his back while teammate Jaylen Waddle “held him down. “At one point during the incident, videos showed Hill lying on the ground, handcuffed, with four officers surrounding him. Dolphins teammates Calais Campbell and Jonnu Smith stopped by to offer support to Hill and defuse the situation, which also led to Campbell’s suspension. “I disobeyed a direct order,” Campbell said when asked why officers told him he was being stopped.

“He said I was too close to the scene and then I think he said something about me not moving my car in time, I don’t know… He told me I wasn’t arrested, but he said that he had been released then! Miami-Dade Police released a statement from Director Stephanie V. Daniels, who launched an “immediate review of all the details surrounding the incident.

” Three hours later, Daniels announced that one of the officers involved had been “placed on administrative duty while the investigation is ongoing. “Hill was informed of the decision during his postgame press conference and accepted the move. “That should tell you all you need to know, then,” Hill said. “I’m glad my teammates were there to support me in my situation because I felt alone. When they arrived, I realized we had a really good team this year, for them to put their lives on the line was incredible to see. “Campbell also said it “made sense” that the officer was assigned to administrative duties and that was “the way things should be done. “NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league has been in contact with the Dolphins, but declined to comment further.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he didn’t know all the details when he spoke after the game, but he was pleased with the way his team came together to help a teammate. “Some of the players involved, Calais Campbell and Jonnu, were all very concerned,” McDaniel said. “I think you have to prepare a team to face the unknown. It is certain that you have not foreseen the exact situations. Many things fall under the veil of adversity and the common denominator is that there is a light at the end of the tunnel in all kinds of adversity in life. You are not necessarily prepared for this, but neither are our companions who were in need. So we just do our thing better. “The Dolphins beat the Jaguars 20-17 after scoring 13 unanswered points in the second half.
