Tyreek Hill reveals reason he closed his car window on cops before they detained him by force in Miami as he responds to shock bodycam video

Tyreek Hill has revealed that he didn’t want to wind down his window after being pulled over by police because he feared fans would take pictures.

The Miami Dolphins receiver told CNN that he was ‘shell-shocked’ after dramatic bodycam footage emerged showing the moment he was dragged from his car, pinned to the ground and handcuffed before Miami’s game against the Jaguars.

Miami-Dade police officers reacted with force after the NFL star handed over his ID and then wound up his window. But Hill explained why he was reluctant to keep his tinted window down. 

‘I’m not trying to cause a scene because if I let me window down, people walking by and driving by they’re going to know that it’s me and they’re going to start taking pictures,’ he said.

‘I didn’t want to create a scene at all. I just really wanted to get the ticket and then go on my way and have a great Sunday.’

Hill added: ‘It was crazy – me being a father, me being a husband. I was just putting myself in that situation (thinking): Hey, I got to be smart. That’s why I really wasn’t on that kind of energy. I was chilling, I was following rules.’

Hill has previously hinted that he has up to 10 kids with multiple different women, including four born this year. His wife Keeta, meanwhile, is pregnant. 

At the start of the bodycam footage, officers can be seen approaching Hill’s car. The receiver can be seen handing over his license before telling the cop to ‘do what you got to do.’ 

The 30-year-old then put his window up, prompting officers to tap on the car and tell Hill: ‘Hey, keep that window down!’

Hill was soon pinned to the floor and warned: ‘When we tell you to do something, you do it’

Around 10 seconds later, with Hill’s window still closed, the officers lost patience. 

‘Keep your window down or I’m going to get you out of the car. As a matter of fact, get out of the car,’ one officer told Hill before another warned the receiver: ‘We’ll break that freaking window.’ 

Moments later, Hill was told: ‘We’re not playing this car, get out!’ An officer then opened the driver-side door and grabbed Hill. 

The NFL star pleaded with cops – ‘I’m getting out!’ – but one officer put his hand towards Hill’s neck and dragged him out of the car. ‘Get out, GET OUT. What part of that do you not understand?’

Then, with Hill face down on the road, a cop put his knee on the receiver’s back and grabbed his hands as a fellow officer put on handcuffs.

Hill spoke to CNN after the footage appeared online, with the 30-year-old admitting he was ‘shocked’ by what he saw.

Moments later, the wide receiver was taken over to the sidewalk and dragged to the floor 

‘It was crazy because it all happened so fast… I really couldn’t like gather everything that was happening,’ he said. ‘I’m still kind of shell-shocked from it. I’m embarrassed.’

Cops could be heard telling Hill to ‘stop crying’ after dragging him out of his car. 

‘When we tell you to do something, you do it. You understand? Not what you want, what we tell you. You’re a little f****** confused,’ an officer told him.

‘Take me to jail, brother. Do what you have to do,’ the NFL star told them.

A Florida police union claimed that Hill was driving dangerously when he was pulled over in Miami and that he was cuffed after refusing to cooperate. Hill said he has ‘no idea’ what sparked his detainment. 

On Monday night, the Dolphins described the video as ‘both maddening and heartbreaking’. The team vowed to stand with Hill and called for ‘swift and strong action’ against the officers guilty of ‘overly aggressive’, ‘violent’ and ‘despicable’ behavior.

Ramsey branded the cops ‘motherf***ers’ and wrote on social media: ‘FIRE EM IMMEDIATELY! Mfs like them can’t have no type of power, they gotta go!’

He added: ‘That s*** is crazy when you look at that bodycam footage more than once! I notice some new bulls*** every time.’

Another shocking clip even appeared to show an officer striking Hill on the sidewalk after he was detained, which led to accusations of racism from appalled fans on social media. 

Amid the outrage, Miami-Dade Police revealed that an officer has been placed on administrative duties pending an internal investigation.
