Bodycam footage of Tyreek Hill's detention released: 'Take me to jail'
The Miami-Dade Police Department on Monday released officers’ bodycam 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 going to be released as part of a commitment to transparency. An investigation into the incident is ongoing, and an officer involved in the situation was placed on "administrative duties."

The footage starts with police officers pulling up next to Hill’s car and telling him he was speeding. Hill asks how fast he was going but is instructed to pull over.
The officer knocks on the window and Hill tells the officer not to knock on his window like that as he hands over his driver’s license. Hill then tells the officer to give him his ticket and rolls the window back up. The officer demands that Hill keep his window down.
"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," the officer says.
A second officer threatens to break the window.
"We’re not playing this game," another officer says as the bodycam shows one officer opening the door, reaching into Hill’s car and pulling him out with a third officer’s help.
"Hey Drew, I’m getting arrested Drew," Hill is heard saying, apparently speaking with his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.
One 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 f---ing confused."

"Take me to jail, bruh. Do what you got to do," Hill responds while lying on the ground.
A bystander in a separate vehicle near the incident appears to ask what is happening with Hill. The wide receiver responds, "I didn’t do nothing."
Officers appeared to forcefully guide Hill to a sitting position on the curb next to his car. Hill told them he had surgery on his knee as he was going down, and one officer asked if he had surgery on his ears.
Another officer on the scene asks the officer whose bodycam footage was released if he knows the man who is sitting on the ground. The officer on the bodycam says he doesn't know who he is, and the other officer responds, "That’s one of the Dolphins’ star players."
The officer wearing the bodycam explains to a superior what happened. In the background, Hill is yelling, "I’m just being a Black man, that’s it."
Hill was issued traffic citations and left in the passenger seat of his car with Rosenhaus.
Dolphins defensive lineman Calais Campbell then walks up to the scene with his hands up about four minutes into the footage. He is ordered to back away from the scene or that he will be handcuffed as well. Campbell says he wants to know what happened.
Campbell was later placed in handcuffs.
The officer who addressed Campbell also spoke to Jonnu Smith, who had pulled over to make sure everything was OK. The officer demanded Smith’s license.
The lawyers for the officer who was placed on administrative duties following the incident released a statement to Fox News Digital later Monday.
"While we believe the decision to place our client on leave was premature, we respect Director Daniels' call for a thorough review of the incident involving Mr. Tyreek Hill, a stance we fully support," lawyers Ignacio Alvarez of ALGO Law Firm and Israel Reyes of the Reyes Law Firm said. "We urge all parties to refrain from making public statements that may misrepresent our client’s actions and mislead the public about Mr. Hill's detainment.
"We call for our client’s immediate reinstatement, and a complete, thorough, and objective investigation, as Director Daniels has also advocated. Our client will not comment until this investigation is concluded and the facts are fully revealed."
