The Miami-Dade Police Department said in a statement that it is releasing the footage as part of a commitment to “transparency and maintaining public trust.”

“While standard protocol is to release body cam footage after the internal review has concluded, the available body cam footage – a combined 105 minutes and 33 seconds is being released the day following the incident,” it read .

“The department is committed to conducting a thorough objective investigation into this matter, and we will continue to update the public on the outcome of that process.”

After the release of the footage, Hill posted , “Let’s make a change,” on X.

The Dolphins released a statement as well, saying they were “saddened by the overly aggressive and violent conduct” directed toward Hill and other players before the game.

“It is both maddening and heartbreaking to watch the very people we trust to protect our community use such unnecessary force and hostility towards these players, yet it is also a reminder that not every situation like this ends in peace, as we are grateful this one did.

“‘What if I wasn’t Tyreek Hill?’ is a question that will carry with resounding impact.”

The team said that it will stand beside Tyreek and their other players “as they work to use their platform and this situation to make a positive impact in our community.”

“We have always believed that football holds a unique power to bring people together, and we remain hopeful that through the collective work of the players, organization, and our community partners, we can create lasting change.”

SHOCK ARREST

News of Hill’s arrest was first reported by ESPN by Jeff Darlington, who shared details of the incident on the network’s Sunday NFL Countdown show.

“Tyreek Hill was pulled over for speeding and then got in a verbal spat with police,” Darlington said.

“He was handcuffed and later released.

“He has been cited for reckless driving after ‘an altercation with police in a verbal form.'”

Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus appeared on ESPN to explain what happened.

“It’s a heartbreaking situation, ” Rosenhaus said. “Obviously I love Tyreek and hated to see him in that situation.

Hill’s arrest sparked outrage online with fans sharing their reaction on social media.

“Is it all because he is black? Imagine if he wasn’t Tyreek Hill. These cops should all be let go,” wrote one person.

“No business treating innocent people this way!”

Another wrote: “MDPD’s constant abuse of power has created a climate where civilians fear the police more than the criminals.”

“Bro literally said ‘I’m getting out.’ That meant he unlocked the door to get out but yet they dragged him,” wrote another person.

Hill was released later that day and played against the Jaguars, where he scored a touchdown on an 80-yard pass play from Tua Tagovailoa in the third quarter.

To celebrate, Hill reenacted his detainment with fellow wide receiver Jaylen Waddle.

Waddle walked behind Hill, who held his arms behind his back as in he was in handcuffs.

Hill finished the game with a 20-17 victory for the Dolphins with 130 yards receiving on seven receptions.
