Former cop reveals Tyreek Hill's big mistake in arrest - as liberal media goes into meltdown over 'racism'

A former police officer is accusing Tyreek Hill of lying about the situation surrounding his arrest on Sunday for reckless driving.

Hill was pulled from his McLaren and forced onto the ground after being pulled over by the cops for driving at 60mph on the way to the Hard Rock Stadium before Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The wideout is claiming that he was manhandled by Miami Dade police because he is black and has amplified those claims with liberal media outlets like CNN - where he shared his view of the situation and also spoke about the Black Lives Matter movement.

But Hill's account is being bashed by ex-cop turned conservative social media influencer Brandon Tatum, who laughed as he watched Hill roll up his tinted windows.

Tatum pointed at Hill rolling up his window in front of police as a problem, saying, 'You rolled the window down and rolled the window back up. Why you mad at them 'cause you speeding? Roll your window down.'

Police were criticized by the Miami Dolphins organization - which described the video as 'both maddening and heartbreaking'. 

The team vowed to stand with Hill and called for 'swift and strong action' against the officers guilty of 'overly aggressive', 'violent' and 'despicable' behavior. 

Social media reaction to the incident was overwhelmingly in favor of Hill - with a majority of posts critical of Miami-Dade police's handling of the situation and accusing them of racism. 

Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III re-posted the footage, saying, 'This level of aggression and demeaning behavior was not necessary. This is an excessive overuse of power.'

FOX Sports analyst and former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho also shared the footage, calling it 'about as disgusting as you would expect.' 

In a separate post, Acho called the police officers 'disgusting' and said, 'If the footage doesn't make you livid, you need to check your pulse.'

Michael Eaves, an Emmy-award winning journalist and anchor on SportsCenter, wrote, 'For those of you who are somewhat surprised by the body cam footage from the Tyreek Hill situation, you've clearly never been guilty of driving while black.'

Miami Herald writer and 'Dan Le Batard Show' guest Greg Cote said, 'Tyreek Hill was caught driving while black. That was his crime. It was a gross overreaction by the police. I thought it was a plain abuse of power.'

But Tatum saw things differently - dissecting the body cam footage on his YouTube channel and highlighting the moment that Hill rolled his window back up as a point of contention.

An incredulous Tatum says, 'Y'all n***** can't do nothing like you're supposed to. Why? Bro, you're the one speeding.'

After mocking the way Hill told officers to not knock on his window and for cops to just do their job, Tatum then said, 'That ain't how a traffic stop work bro. You speeding. You're probably going so fast you're criminally speeding - which is a crime, they can arrest you and put you in jail.

'And you rolled the window down and rolled the window back up. Why you mad at them 'cause you speeding? Roll your window down.'

The bodycam footage then shows officers telling Hill to get out of the car - with the wide receiver heard saying, 'I'm finna get out'.

But before Hill had the chance to open the door, officers wrenched the door open and dragged him out of his car.

Tatum watched the video and was still surprised that Hill wasn't complying with orders from police.

'Roll the window down, or we're gonna make you get out of the car,' Tatum said before making mocking noises at Hill's expense. 'Get out of the car, he still don't get out... I'm sick of playing with y'all, you got all these cops here 'cause you silly.'

Later in the video, Tatum then reviews a press conference that Hill gave where he said he didn't know why cops arrested him and calls him a liar.

'You lyin' to the world,' Tatum accused. 'Now the body-worn camera [footage] came out, "I don't have no idea why they put me in handcuffs" - the cop told you. 

'He actually warned you, then he told you, "Imma pull you out of the car, keep the window down." Why are you rolling the window up? 

'That's an officer safety issue. They don't know this man. He could be pulling a g*n out. Keep the window down. They asked you a simple question. You're the one at fault, not them.'

Hill later told CNN that the reason he rolled his window back up is so that bystanders did not recognize him as the whole affair was going down. 

'I'm not trying to cause a scene because if I let me window down, people walking by and driving by they're going to know that it's me and they're going to start taking pictures,' he said.

'I didn't want to create a scene at all. I just really wanted to get the ticket and then go on my way and have a great Sunday.'

Hill added: 'It was crazy - me being a father, me being a husband. I was just putting myself in that situation (thinking): Hey, I got to be smart. That's why I really wasn't on that kind of energy. I was chilling, I was following rules.'

At least one officer who detained Hill did not know who the wide receiver was - with another cop having to inform him.

'Why is he acting up like that?' one officer asked, as Hill could be heard shouting in the background. 'You know who that is right?

His colleague - believed to have been the first cop to approach Hill's car after it was pulled over - replied: 'No?' 

They were then informed it was 'one of the Dolphins' star players', to which they responded: 'Oh yeah?' 

Minutes earlier, the wide receiver was placed in handcuffs near Hard Rock Stadium while driving to the Dolphins' season opener against Jacksonville. 'Take me to jail... do what you have to do,' Hill told the officers.

He was instead released but the 30-year-old has previously speculated about what might have happened to him if he was not a high-profile NFL star.

He told NBC: 'If I wasn't Tyreek Hill, Lord knows... worst-case scenario, I would have been shot or would have been locked up'. 

Elsewhere in the video, cops were heard telling the NFL star to 'stop crying' after they had dragged him out of his car and put him face down on to the road. 

'When we tell you to do something, you do it. You understand? Not what you want, what we tell you. You're a little f****** confused,' an officer told him.

A Florida police union claimed that Hill was driving dangerously when he was pulled over on Sunday and that he was cuffed after refusing to cooperate. Hill said he has 'no idea' what sparked his detainment.

Hill was released a few minutes later but not before his teammate Calais Campbell was also put in cuffs.

After the game, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel was almost brought to tears as he told reporters, 'The thing that f***s me up honestly, to be quite frank, is knowing that I don't know exactly... I don't know what that feels like.' 

Over the weekend, Miami-Dade Police revealed that a cop has been placed on administrative duties pending an internal investigation.

Hill has been previously convicted of domestic assault, was investigated for a separate assault in 2023, and was also investigated for potential child abuse.

He's also admitted to having ten children and faced two paternity suits back in 2023, but asserts that he takes care of all of them.
