Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill in police altercation: What we know

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill was pulled from
his sports car by Miami-Dade County police officers outside Hard Rock Stadium during a traffic stop before
the team’s game on Sunday, triggering a national debate on whether the treatment was justified.

Hill, 30, was pushed onto the ground face-first, handcuffed and then was again forced to the ground despite his complaint
that sitting on the curb caused pain in his surgically repaired knee.

Hill was eventually released after receiving citations for careless driving and failing to wear his seat belt. Hours
later, he caught an 80-yard touchdown pass that sparked the Dolphins’ comeback win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Police Department Director Stephanie Davis put one officer on administrative
leave, and an internal affairs investigation is underway.

How did the altercation start?

WHAT WE KNOW: Officer
body camera video released late Monday by the Miami-Dade Police Department shows that about three hours before
kickoff Sunday, two motorcycle officers were parked on an access road south of the stadium when Hill sped past
in his McLaren sports car. They immediately went in pursuit. They later said he was going 60 mph (97 kph).
