A video that emerged later showed cops had detained the player near the stadium for a traffic offense.The footballer was seen being yelled at by the police while lying face down on the ground during the detention. Some teammates, however, managed to help the situation before Hill subsequently played for his team.Hill called for the officer to be sanctioned, though he admitted that could have done things better during the encounter with the law enforcement officer.“Gone. Gone. Gone. He gotta go, man…In that instance right there, not only did he treat me badly, he also treated my teammates with disrespect, you know? “At the end of the day, I’m human, I’ve got to follow rules, I’ve got to do what everyone else would do. Now, does that give them the right to literally beat the dog out of me? Absolutely not. But at the end of the day, I wish I could go back and do things a bit differently,” the 30-year-old was quoted saying at a press conference following the incident.</div></body>
