Bodycam footage released from Tyreek Hill's arrest: 'Take me to jail'


The Miami-Dade Police Department on Monday released officers' body camera footage of the incident involving Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill.

Miami-Dade Police Director Stephane V. Daniels said more than an hour of footage was being released as part of a commitment to transparency. An investigation into the incident is underway and an officer involved in the incident has been placed on “administrative duties.”

The recording begins with police officers approaching Hill's car and telling him he was speeding. Hill asks how fast he was going, but is ordered to stop.

The officer knocks on the window and Hill tells him not to knock on his window like that as he hands him his driver's license. Hill tells the officer to give him his ticket and rolls the window back up. The officer demands Hill keep the window down.

“Roll down your window or I'll throw you out of the car. In fact, get out of the car,” the officer tells him.

A second officer threatens to break the window.

“We're not playing this game,” another officer says as the body camera shows one officer opening the door, reaching into Hill's car and pulling him out with the help of a third officer.

“Hey Drew, I'm going to get arrested, Drew,” Hill is heard saying, apparently speaking to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.

An officer says: “When we tell you to do something, you do it, not what you want, but when we tell you. You're a little confused.”

“Take me to jail, bro. Do what you gotta do,” Hill replies as he lies on the ground.

A bystander in another vehicle near the incident appears to ask what's happening to Hill. The wide receiver replies, “I didn't do anything.”

Officers walked Hill to where he sat on the sidewalk next to his car. Hill told them he had knee surgery as he got out and an officer asked if he had surgery on his ears.

Another officer on the scene asks the officer whose body camera footage was released if he knows the man sitting on the ground. The officer on the body camera says he doesn't know who he is and the other officer replies, “That's one of the Dolphins' star players.”

The officer wearing the body camera explains to a superior what happened. In the background, Hill yells: “I'm just a black man, that's all.”

Hill was issued traffic tickets and left in the passenger seat of his car with Rosenhaus.

Dolphins defender Calais Campbell then approaches the scene with his hands up about four minutes into the filming. He is ordered to leave the scene or he will be handcuffed as well. Campbell says he wants to know what happened.
