• Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill said he believes the police officer who arrested him after a traffic stop on Sept. 8 should be fired.
• “Gone. Go away. Go away. Go away. Go away. He’s got to go, man,” Hill said of the officer at a Sept. 11 press conference.
• Hill’s comments come after Miami-Dade police released 105 minutes of bodycam footage related to the Sept. 9 incident, showing an officer repeatedly warning Hill to keep the window closed before telling him to “get out of the car.”

Tyreek Hill says he wants to take action against the Miami-Dade police officer who arrested him after a traffic stop on Sunday, September 8.

The 30-year-old Miami Dolphins wide receiver spoke out again on Wednesday, September 11, ahead of his team’s game against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, saying he believes the officer should be fired.

“Gone. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. He’s got to go, man,” Hill said of the official at a team-sanctioned press conference, according to ABC News and NBC News. “In 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?”

In bodycam footage released by Miami-Dade police, Hill was seen repeatedly telling an officer not to “bang” on his window during a traffic stop about a block from Hard Rock Stadium before rolling it back up against the officer’s orders. The officer could be seen warning Hill to “keep the window down” or he would “get him out of the car.”

Eventually, the officer told the NFL player to “get out of the car,” and after Hill opened the car door, the officer could be seen violently dragging him out of the driver’s seat while two other officers helped bring Hill to the ground.

Some of Hill’s teammates who had driven by on the way to the stadium, including Dolphins defensive tackle Calais Campbell, had stopped and tried to diffuse the situation, but Campbell was eventually handcuffed by police as well.

Stephanie Daniels, the police department’s director, said in a statement on Statement on X (formerly Twitter) that they released the bodycam footage earlier than their normal protocols dictate, “in keeping with our commitment to transparency and maintaining the public trust.”

The Miami-Dade Police Department also announced in a post on X that it has since launched an “internal investigation” and that one of the officers “involved in the incident” has been “assigned to administrative duties” for the duration of the investigation.

Hill admitted on Wednesday that he “could have handled the situation better.” According to ABC News and NBC News, he said: “I could have rolled down my window at that moment. But I don’t want any attention. I don’t want to be standing there with cameras and cell phones out at that moment.”

“But at the end of the day, I’m only human. I have to follow the rules. I have to do what anybody else would do,” he continued. “Does that give them the right to literally beat me up? Absolutely not. But at the end of the day, I wish I could go back and do things a little differently.”

The NFL player said he plans to take a knee during the Dolphins’ game against the Bills – an action some players have taken in recent years to protest police brutality – and noted that he plans to use the game as therapy, according to ABC News.

The Miami Dolphins condemned in a statement “the overly aggressive and violent behavior” of police officers toward Hill, Calais Campbell and Jonnu Smith and said the team would “stand by” Hill and his players.

NFL Players Association executive director Lloyd Howell Jr. also told ABC News that they have reached out to Hill and Campbell to provide them with the “necessary support.” He added: “No matter what your circumstances are, take care of yourself and your family, and hopefully that will translate to the field. That’s what it looks like right now.”
