Dolphins support Tyreek Hill over police detention after body cam released

• The Dolphins said the team was "saddened by the overly aggressive and violent conduct" directed toward Hill and teammates Jonnu Smith and Calais Campbell, who was also briefly handcuffed in the incident, per a statement posted to X.

Driving the news: The video that civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump shared online starts with a police officer asking Hill to roll down his window, which he does, before questioning him why he's not wearing a seatbelt.

• Hill tells the officer to give him his ticket so he can go because he's going to be late and closes his window and puts on his seatbelt, but the officer knocks on his window several times and tells him to keep it open.
• The football player winds his window down somewhat and tells the officer, "Don't tell me what to do," before rolling it back up.
• The officer responds, "Keep your window down, or I'm going to get you out of the car. As a matter of fact, get out of the car."
• A second officer comes over, opens the car door and grabs Hill by the back of the head, forces him to the ground and handcuffs him with a knee pressed to his back.
• Hill was ultimately released and cited for careless driving and failing to wear a seatbelt.

Zoom out: Hill went on to play in Sunday's Dolphins game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he scored an 80-yard touchdown.

What they're saying: "If I let my window down, people walking by, driving by they're going to notice that it's me and they're going to start taking pictures," Hill told CNN Monday evening, saying the ordeal left him "embarrassed" and "shell shocked."

• "I didn't want to create a scene at all, I just really wanted to get the ticket and then just go out about my way."

The other side: South Florida Police Benevolent Association president Steadman Stahl said in a media statement Monday that Hill was "briefly detained" but "at no time was he ever under arrest."

• Hill was "not immediately cooperative with the officers on the scene who, pursuant to policy and for their immediate safety, place Mr. Hill in handcuffs," according to Stahl.

• "Mr. Hill, still uncooperative, refused to sit on the ground and was therefore redirected to the ground."

Of note: Hill can be heard on the video saying, "I'm just being Black in America, bro," while an officer is on his computer, the New York Times notes.

• "We're dark too, bro," replied an officer, one of several who appears to be Latino. "We're people of color."

Between the lines: Miami-Dade County Police Department has a long and troubled history with Black residents, including among Cuban American officers.

• Four white police officers from the agency now known as the Miami-Dade Police Department beat to death black insurance salesman Arthur McDuffie and were acquitted, setting off one of the area's deadliest riots.
• A 2018 ACLU of Florida report found that Black defendants (regardless of ethnicity) were overrepresented in Miami-Dade County's criminal justice system relative to their population share.
• Non-Hispanic Black defendants were arrested at 2.2 times the rates of others, the report found.

What we're watching: Miami-Dade Police director Stephanie Daniels said in a statement posted to X that one of the officers involved in the incident was "placed on administrative duties while the investigation is conducted."

• Hill's agent Drew Rosenhaus told the Miami Herald that the player's representatives were considering legal action against the the MDPD.
