Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill confirmed he wants one of the officers who detained him on Sunday to lose his job for the way he treated him.

Hill was pulled over Sunday on his way to the Dolphins’ season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Hard Rock Stadium. During that stop, a verbal spat ensued, resulting in an officer pulling Hill from his car and handcuffing him. Moments later, he was forcefully taken to the ground while still cuffed.

Dolphins defensive tackle Calais Campbell noticed the commotion from his car and pulled over to de-escalate the situation. He was immediately met with hostility by the officers before he was also handcuffed.

During a press conference Wednesday, Hill stated that the officer responsible for those aggressive actions should be fired.

“He gotta go, man,” Hill said, “Because in that instance right there, like not only did he treat me bad — you know what I’m saying — he also treated my teammates with disrespect. He had some crazy words towards them and they ain’t even do nothing! Like, what did they do to you? They’re just walking on the sidewalk. So, I don’t know, bro. He gotta go, man; and [there are] not too many times that ‘Cheetah’ say people gotta go, but you? … Gone.”

Earlier in the day, it was revealed that the legal team representing Miami-Dade Police Officer Danny Torres reached out to Hill to apologize. The star receiver did not accept it.
