Tyreek Hill speaks to reporters on detainment, wants officer fired

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill acknowledged Wednesday that he could have handled himself better in the initial moments of a weekend traffic stop that left him handcuffed and pulled out of his car by officers near the team’s stadium.

Tyreek should have been fired for beating his kids.

Black. Rich. Athlete. Sports car. Historically this combination has never gone well.

Soooo, if I was pulled over for reckless driving, not wearing a seatbelt, refused to roll down my window and didn't want to get out of the car would my scenario end with handshakes and driving back to the stadium? I think not. Why do certain people think they are too important to listen or cooperate with law enforcement, and instead attempt to negociate or avoid the situation altogether the very moment they are being accused of a crime. If you are truly not guilty, lawyers handle these issues days/weeks after the situation. And Tyreek, you have money for that to be able to avoid the embarrassment of looking like a fool and causing fans of your's to reconsider why they support you in the first place making millions of dollars. It's many of these people that do not make the money you enjoy making that enable you to have a career playing a mere game. May be more education is needed before people get licenses? Or is it simply people being defiant, arrogant, too good to follow mere civilian rules etc? If only we could all be above the law.

0:32 The way he matured? He started the whole incident by being contentious (not rolling down window, not sitting down, his aggressive & disrespectful words/tones with the cops) and being uncooperative.

He is playing the victim card in this press conference when he started the whole confrontation. What a joke.

Hill brought this on himself with his belligerence & sense of main character entitlement. Now he wants the cops fired for doing their job? F him.

You have to realize that if your car has tinted windows, no one can see what you are doing inside the car. Cop is 100% right in telling the driver to roll down his window. The driver was under investigation at that point. He got pulled over, etc. If you refuse to roll down the tnted window aftera cop pulls you over, yes, officers can get you out of the car and cuff you. Then continue the investigation. Either way. either you roll down window and not hide your actions inside from the police and talk with police, or you get taken from the car and handcuffed and investigated by the police. This would happen to almost everyone who is pulled over by police who insist on keeping the tinted window rolled up.

I do not fault the police. Want to be a cop and let a guy keep his tinted window down so you can't see what he is doing when he pulls out a gun and shoots you dead?

[marcustaylor]

Tyreek Hill so disrespectful. He broke the law and acted like an entitled child

[watchingthecrazyworld]

Tyreek Hill is so phony. I don't like this guy now. Just for his part in this and how phony he handled it.

[landscapevision]

officer Torres was suspended today for the 6th time in 27 years…..In my job I would have been fired after 3 reprimands. But the cops have the Union so u see the problem.

[joem-rolb]

He wouldn’t roll his window down for the police.

[robertalvarez]

Seriously? How about grow up. Have respect and set an example.

[Anthony-rjis]

That cop should be fired. Curse words while in the State of Florida uniform. The cop treats taxpayers like this shouldn't have a job.

[awildbull]

Tyreek hill should get fired for disobeying the law when hes in the wrong, and trying to use his platform to get away with things and ruin somebody elses life just because he wants to act like a child during a routine traffic stop.

[LisaPFMoore]

Hes unfaised by his bad behavior. Hes use to people acting like this at simple traffic stops.

[AsianSkipBayless]

From 2014 (what can be documented) till now, Tyreke has always been a problem. Punching his pregnant GF in the stomach in college, breaking his 3-year-old's arm, suspended from Chiefs for leaked audio about abuse, breaking that IG model's leg, slapping that kid at the Marina. He is always the common denominator in his challenges. 10 kids, different moms, 4 more coming this year. He is a train wreck, Karen.

[Sam-gvlo]

This guy is a joke 👎 zero accountability! He thinks he’s better than everyone else

[VILJL]

Tyreek Hill’s aggressive demeanor when officers approached his black McLaren 720S, and his disobedience at their instructions to roll down his window fueled their anger, heightened their animosity and triggered the power trip one specific motorcycle officer clearly possessed during their exchange. No matter what your issue is, don’t give the police a reason to exert its authority. That’s the best way to survive these encounters, and avoid what Hill called an embarrassing moment, one he still feels is “ a movie, ” or some bad dream. The officer was wrong. But so was Hill. And two wrongs don’t make a right. While Hill’s one of the NFL’s most talented players, the 30-year-old happens to be on his fifth, or sixth NFL life because of the numerous legal situations he has put himself in this past decade, which includes domestic violence, alleged child abuse and last year’s assault of a boat captain.

I agree the cop should be fired. You don’t have to keep your window down when the cop isn’t talking to you. The cop was power tripping.
