Authorities released body camera footage on Monday that shows Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill being placed in handcuffs outside Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday.
The incident happened as Hill was arriving at the stadium for the Dolphins first game of the NFL season against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“I wasn’t disrespectful… because my mom didn’t raise me that way, didn’t curse, none of that,” Hill said following the game when asked about what happened.
Miami-Dade Police Director Stephanie Daniels said in a statement Sunday that the department would be investigating the incident and that one officer had been placed on administrative leave.
On Monday, the department released several clips of body camera footage showing what happened outside the stadium.

Steadman Stahl, who leads the South Florida Police Benevolent Association, the union representing Miami-Dade police officers, issued a statement Monday saying Hill’s refusal to cooperate caused his detainment and ensuing situation.
“He (Hill) was briefly detained for officer safety, after driving in a manner in which he was putting himself and others in great risk of danger,” Stahl wrote. “Upon being stopped, Mr. Hill was not immediately cooperative with the officers on scene who, pursuant to policy and for their immediate safety, placed Mr. Hill in handcuffs.”
