Tyreek Hill ‘Shellshocked’ After Watching Brutal Bodycam Video of His Detainment
Tyreek Hill, the Miami Dolphins’ star wide receiver who was detained by police in front of his team’s stadium before their season opener on Sunday, spoke out after watching new body-worn camera footage of his tense confrontation released by authorities Monday evening.
The Miami-Dade Police Department usually only releases bodycam footage after an internal review, but decided to release the cumulative 105 minutes and 33 seconds of footage from six different officers to “reinforce the Department’s commitment to keeping the public informed,” Director Stephanie V. Daniels said in a statement on Monday.
Speaking to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Monday night, Hill said he was “still shellshocked” and “embarrassed” watching the videos back. The Dolphins’ wide receiver said that if he wasn’t a recognizable NFL player, the headline would have looked a lot different—and gave his worst-case scenario example as: “Tyreek Hill got shot in front of Hard Rock Stadium.”
