    Police bodycam footage from Tyreek Hill’s detainment ahead of the Dolphins’ home opener on Sunday showed officers discussing his occupation.

    One cop, who appeared to be looking at Hill’s ID, asked his colleague about the receiver’s behavior in the clip — as Hill was nearby and handcuffed while face-down on the ground for allegedly speeding prior to Miami’s win over Jacksonville on Sunday.

    “Why is he acting up like that?” one officer asked, as Hill could be heard yelling in the background. “You know who that is right?”

    The other cop replied, “No?”

    “That’s one of the Dolphins’ star players,” the officer said while pointing in Hill’s direction.

    “Oh yeah? F–k,” the other cop said.

    There were multiple officers on the scene when Hill was pulled over and detained outside Hard Rock Stadium while on his way to begin a new season.

    The South Florida Police Benevolent Association said in a statement that Hill was detained for “driving in a manner in which he was putting himself and others in great risk of danger.”

    Hill was then put in handcuffs for being “not immediately cooperative,” according to the PBA.

    Hill received two citations as a result of his traffic stop, including careless driving and a seatbelt violation, ESPN’s Jeff Darlington reported Monday.

    The 30-year-old wideout previously explained that he did not know why he was handcuffed and pulled out of his vehicle, and that he felt he was being respectful to the cops.

    “It just went from 0 to 60, man, from the moment that those guys pulled up behind me, knocked on my window, it went from 0 to 60 immediately,” Hill told NBC News on Monday night.

    During the incident, Hill told police, “Alright bro, take me to jail. Do what you have to do.”

    In police bodycam footage, officers were heard telling Hill to “stop crying” and to “do what we tell you.”

    Other footage showed a cop knocking on the driver’s side window of his black sports car, telling him to put his window down.

    One of the officers who was on the scene was placed on administrative leave , and the Miami-Dade Police Department opened an internal investigation into the matter on Sunday.

    Hill went on to score an 80-yard touchdown in the Dolphins’ 20-17 win on Sunday and performed a handcuffs celebration.

    The Dolphins have a short week before they face the Bills at home on Thursday.
