Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill expressed his shock and embarrassment following a controversial police detainment that occurred just before the NFL season opener. In an interview with CNN, Hill described the rapid sequence of events during the traffic stop, where he was forcibly removed from his car and restrained by Miami-Dade Police. Despite feeling he was compliant, Hill noted that the officers seemed impatient with his movements due to his recent knee surgery. He remarked on the gravity of the situation, suggesting that had he not been a public figure, the outcome could have been different. Hill's attorney criticized the police's account of the incident, asserting that the released body camera footage contradicts their statements. Following the incident, Hill emphasized his intention to advocate for change using his platform.
