Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill has called for the dismissal of the Miami-Dade officer who handled him from his car and detained him before their game on Sunday after the NFL star refused to pull his car window down completely.

The NFL star, in a news conference on Wednesday at Dolphins headquarters, acknowledged that he could have handled the situation better during the traffic stop but repeatedly implored Miami-Dade County to fire the 27-year-old Miami-Dade police officer
“Gone. Gone. Gone. Gone. He got to go, man. Because in that instance right there, not only did he treat me bad, he also treated my teammates with disrespect. “He had some crazy words toward them, and they ain’t even do nothing. Like what did they do to you? They’re just walking on the sidewalk. So I don’t know, he got to go. There’s not too many times that Cheetah say people got to go, but – you, out. What do they say on Wild ‘N Out? Gone.”
Miami-Dade Police Director Stephanie Daniels launched an internal affairs investigation on Sunday afternoon, and one officer was transferred to administrative duties. That officer, Danny Torres, wants to be immediately reinstated, his attorney said this week. Torres' legal representation reached out to Hill to arrange an apology from Torres, but Hill declined to accept the offer.
I have family members who are cops. We’ve had conversations. Yes, I will say I could’ve been better. I could’ve let down my window in that instant, but the thing about me is I don’t want attention. I don’t want to be cameras out, phones on you in that moment. But at the end of the day I’m human. I’ve got to follow rules, I’ve got to do what everyone else would do. Now, does that give them the right to literally beat the dog out of me? Absolutely not. But at the end of the day, I wish I could go back and do things a bit differently.
The Dolphins play the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night, and Hill said he would use the game as therapy, an escape from thinking about the incident.
