    Jalen Ramsey demands officers be 'fired' after Tyreek Hill bodycam footage released

    Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey has called for the officers involved in his teammate Tyreek Hill's arrest to be fired .

    Hill was detained on Sunday by police ahead of the Dolphin s' 20-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, a game which he scored a touchdown. The bodycam footage has since been released , showing the police's interaction with the NFL star, as well as Hill being pinned down and cuffed.

    "FIRE EM IMMEDIATELY! Mfs like them can’t have no type of power, they gotta go!" Ramsey said on X. "That ---- is crazy when you look at that bodycam footage more than once! I notice some new -------- every time."

    Hill has claimed if he wasn't who he is, his detainment could've played out way worse, including potentially being shot . "If I wasn't Tyreek Hill, Lord knows, I probably would have been, like, worst-case scenario, I would have been shot or would have been locked up, put behind bars, you know, for a simple speeding ticket," the star receiver told NBC News. "And that's crazy that officers would take it, you know, to that level."

    Hill insists he was cooperative with police . He was a stone's throw away from the Dolphins' Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida. "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 added.

    The Dolphins and its head coach Mike McDaniels have backed the franchise's star wide receiver. "Personally, it's been hard for me not to find myself more upset the more I think about it, and that's because of my teammates and trying to put myself in that emotion or in that situation that they've described emotionally, and then knowing more than that, the thing that (messes) me up, honestly, to be quite frank, is knowing that I don't know what that feels like,” McDaniel said Monday.

    “I think it's very, very important that two things should be true, that you let due process work and information to be gathered to appropriately project an opinion, however I can't get away from the fact of what I know their experience to be.

    “Like, you try to put yourself, if I'm Calais Campbell, and I'm 38 years old, and you're going to work … you're a gigantic, strong, just miraculous man that has done right in all ways, shapes and forms and there's just elements to that that's very triggering.”

    Miami-Dade Police Department has launched an internal affairs investigation. At least one of the officers has been taken off the streets as a result of the viral arrest.

    Ignacio Alvarez, of the ALGO law firm, representing the unidentified officer who was taken off frontline duties, said: "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."
