The president of South Florida’s police union stated that Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was handcuffed during a traffic stop due to his lack of immediate cooperation with officers. However, Hill claims he was respectful throughout the encounter.

The incident, which took place outside the Dolphins' stadium, has led to one officer being placed on administrative leave while an internal investigation is ongoing. Hill's attorney argues that the officers' actions were excessive.

Both Hill and teammate Calais Campbell were involved in the traffic stop, with Campbell expressing concern over the officers' treatment of Hill. The situation has sparked discussions about the use of force, particularly concerning race, as several team members voiced their apprehension about similar encounters.

Coach Mike McDaniel expressed distress over the incident, emphasizing the need for understanding and empathy. The investigation into the incident is underway, with Miami-Dade authorities reviewing body camera footage.
