Tyreek Hill, star wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, made allegations against one of the police officers who arrested him in Miami on Sunday.

Hill claimed during an interview on Amazon Prime Video before his team’s Thursday Night Football game against the Buffalo Bills that one of the officers pinched his neck and tried to provoke him.

“What people don’t know is that every time I was handcuffed with my hands behind my back, the cop would pinch my neck as if he was trying to get me to hurt him,” Hill said. “It’s just crazy, the absolute level of insanity.”

The bodycam footage released by Miami-Dade police did not show a complete, uninterrupted snapshot of Hill’s neck during the arrest, but it did show the hands of several police officers near his neck at various times.

Hill did not name the officer who allegedly tried to provoke him. The officer who handcuffed Hill is Danny Torres, a 27-year veteran.

Torres has since been placed on administrative duties. The Miami-Dade police director assigned Torres to paid administrative duties after she said she reviewed the officers’ body camera footage from that day. Torres’ lawyers told Fox News Digital they are calling for the officer to be reinstated immediately.

“We are calling for our client’s immediate reinstatement and a full, thorough and objective investigation, as Director Daniels has also requested. Our client will not comment until that investigation is complete and the facts are fully disclosed,” the lawyers said in a statement.

The footage shows Hill being pulled over for speeding on Sunday as he approached Hard Rock Stadium. A police officer ordered Hill to roll down his window. He gave the officer his driver’s license and repeatedly asked him not to knock on his window. The footage also shows the officer telling Hill to roll down his window. The incident escalated when Hill did not comply.

When the officer ordered Hill to step out of his vehicle, the wide receiver said, “I’m getting out, I’m getting out.” As the officer opened the door and got Hill out, the receiver said, “I’m getting out!” Another officer then grabbed Hill by the back of his head and neck area and forced him to step onto the pavement to be handcuffed.

Hill was released after about 25 minutes when his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, arrived. Hill was then heard telling officers he would “see you all in court” before getting back into his vehicle.

Hill and his lawyers called for Torres’ firing in a statement released Tuesday. He reiterated that stance in a team press conference on Wednesday.

DOLPHINS PLAYER TYREEK HILL IS NOT INNOCENT OF POLICE INTERLUDE, ESPN’S STEPHEN A. SMITH SAYS

“Gone. Gone. Gone. Gone. Gone. Gone. He’s got to go, man,” Hill said. “Because at that moment, not only did he mistreat me. He disrespected my teammates. He said some crazy words about them and they didn’t even do anything. Like, what did they do to you? They just walked on the sidewalk. He’s got to go, man.”

The incident sparked much debate about whether Hill or the police officer was in the wrong.

ESPN star Stephen A. Smith said Hill was not absolved of all blame, but insisted that police used excessive force.

“As far as Tyreek Hill is concerned, we can’t completely absolve him of responsibility based on the statement from the Florida police,” Smith said Tuesday on ESPN’s “First Take.”

“They said he was ‘uncooperative.’ We have a responsibility on this show and on every platform we can use to do everything we can to save lives, to make sure we do everything we can to make sure that somehow, some way, you can live another day and fight this fight. We know how wrong they were. The police were over the top. No excuses. They should be ashamed of their behavior. They just over the top. That is absolutely true.”

Former NBA star Charles Barkley appeared on Fox Sports 910 in Phoenix and criticized the media for focusing on Hill’s race throughout its coverage of the incident.

“I hate that we’re putting this in the media because you know guys are about to get into racing and that bothers me,” Barkley explained. “We have so many idiots in the media that like to play the racism card. I said, ‘Wait a minute, they just did the same thing to Scottie Scheffler.'”

Hill said Wednesday that the incident will not lead to him kneeling during the national anthem at Dolphins games, nor will he call for defunding the police. Kneeling during the national anthem in protest against police brutality and racial injustice became a controversial issue in the NFL during the 2016 and 2017 seasons. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick the movement started.

“Not seriously, because like I said, I’m not going to mix the two,” the star wide receiver said. “I’m not going to kneel. I’m not going to ask for the police to be defunded. I’m not going to protest.”

The Miami-Dade Police Department had not responded to Fox News Digital’s request for comment at the time of publication.
