Cop who detained Tyreek Hill did NOT know who he was before Dolphins star was dragged from his car and pinned to the ground



One of the police officers involved in the shocking detainment of Tyreek Hill was unaware that they had handcuffed a high-profile NFL star.

The Miami Dolphins receiver was dragged from his car, pinned to the ground and handcuffed before Sunday’s game against the Jaguars.

Bodycam footage from the Miami-Dade officers emerged on Monday and one clip – shared by CBS – proved that Hill’s profile was lost on some at the scene.

‘Why is he acting up like that?’ one officer asked as Hill could be heard shouting in the background. ‘You know who that is right?

The other cop replied: ‘No?’  They were then informed it was ‘one of the Dolphins’ star players’, to which they responded: ‘Oh yeah?’

Minutes earlier, the wide receiver was placed in handcuffs near Hard Rock Stadium while driving to the Dolphins’ season opener against Jacksonville. ‘Take me to jail… do what you have to do,’ Hill told the officers.

Cops were heard telling the NFL star to ‘stop crying’ after they had dragged him out of his car and put him face down on to the road. 

‘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.

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