Fear, humiliation, uncertainty in life, and gratefulness is what Tyreek Hill felt after his recent bout with the Miami Police Department. The Dolphins speedster recently had a run in with the law before the Miami football team’s season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. How could he have known that things would get so bad just a few hours before the game?

Hill apparently crossed the speeding limit in his McLaren 720s, and the officers immediately acted. “If I wasn’t Tyreek Hill, Lord knows, I probably would have been, like, worst-case scenario, I would have been shot or would have been locked up.” That’s the kind of fear Hill felt after his altercation with the police. No human being should feel this threatened and those were exactly the sentiments of the Miami Dolphins.

“We are saddened by the overly aggressive and violent conduct directed towards Tyreek Hill, Calais Campbell and Jonnu Smith by police officers before yesterday’s game. It is both maddening and heartbreaking to watch the very people we trust to protect our community use such unnecessary force and hostility towards these players, yet it is also a reminder that not every situation like this ends in peace, as we are grateful this one did. ‘What if I wasn’t Tyreek Hill?’ is a question that will carry with resounding impact,” shared the Dolphins on X.

While maintaining sensitivity and diplomacy, the Dolphins commended the MDPD for discipling the officers who “serve with misguided power” and urged the MDPD to take swift actions against the officers for taking “such despicable actions.” The Dolphins also reiterated their support for Tyreek Hill, Jonnu Smith and Calais Campbell, who maintained their poise and dealt with the adversity with a calm demeanor.

Calais Campbell was there when the police apprehended Hill and watched the scene unfold in front of his very eyes. The police asked him to maintain a 25 feet distance and later cuffed him because he didn’t “get in the car and leave.” Understandably, the situation has prompted Hill to appreciate his life and his family.

Tyreek Hill opens up to the media after eye-opening incident!

The police records mention Tyreek Hill breaking the speed limit and jumping the traffic light just a few blocks away from the Hard Rock Stadium. Imagine a police officer dragging you out of your car and forcing you to lay on the ground face down, all the while you’re handcuffed. In a video of the incident, the officer was seen using unnecessary force on the Dolphins WR.

Hill didn’t want bystanders to notice what was going on and he simply asked the officer to give him a ticket so he could head to the stadium to play against the Jaguars. He revealed his predicament in an interview with CNN. “If I let my window down, people walking by, driving by, they’re going to notice that it’s me,” Hill said. “And they’re going to start taking pictures, and I didn’t want to create a scene at all. Like, I just really wanted to get the ticket and then go on about my way.”

The WR also mentioned how his status as a football player saved him from much heinous behavior from the officers and that he was happy that his pregnant wife, Keeta Vaccaro wasn’t there to witness the inhumane treatment of her husband. Though the tragedy is mentally disturbing, Hill didn’t let it affect his game. In fact, he came out with 130 yards and a touchdown and celebrated with perhaps one of the most iconic pictures taken on the gridiron.

After scoring an 80-yard TD, the Cheetah did a handcuff celebration as his teammate Jaylen Waddle acted the police and walked him around. What do you think about Hill’s predicament?
