Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins was handcuffed and placed face down on a street outside the team’s stadium after he was stopped for speeding and reckless driving Sunday morning before the Dolphins’ first game of the season, an incident that left the star wide receiver baffled and resulted in a police officer being placed on administrative leave.
The officer, who was not identified, was one of at least three involved in detaining Hill. Some fans saw Hill being handcuffed and captured video on their way to the game, and it quickly went viral on social media.
Told after the game that the officer was placed on leave pending the outcome of the investigation, Hill said: “That should tell you everything you need to know.”
Is this normal?
Yeah, good thing he’s on a few days’ leave. Hope the fishing’s nice.
The issue here is clearly not the enforcement of the law, but handcuffing him face down on the concrete for what is ordinarily a citation. Get it together man
It is harder to arrest people if they’re not doing crimes. TV tells me it’s not impossible, but I’ll argue it’s harder.
