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.”

There will probably be a release of bodycam footage.

As long as said body cam footage makes the cops look good, otherwise it will be lost due to technical problems.

I believe bystanders got some vid too.

Yup. Both are the same video but the IG one is a bit longer and better quality.

Isn't Florida trying to push a law that would delay body can footage release?
