2024 traffic stop

[edit]

On September 8, 2024, hours before the Miami Dolphins were set to begin their season opener against theJacksonville Jaguars,Tyreek Hillwas pulled over by officers outside of the Dolphins stadium while he was on his way to the game. Video, which was filmed by fans, was instantly released to social media where it quickly made national news. The video showed Hill being detained in handcuffs and forced to the ground by three officers who were on top of him holding him down. It was alleged that the situation escalated after Hill refused to obey the orders from the officers. Campbell, Hill's teammate who was also driving to the game, stopped and got involved in an attempt to de-escalate the sitution. Campbell got out of his car with his hands up above his head and approached the scene, informing officers that he was a friend of Hill's. He remained at the scene to “support” Hill after he said officers asked him to leave. Police later placed him in handcuffs for “disobeying a direct order" by being too close. “They were trying to yank him down to the ground. I saw them kick him and pull him down... I feel like one officer was pushing on his head” Campbell said toESPN.One of the officers was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. Hill was cited with two traffic citations and was free to leave while Campbell wasn't cited. Both played in that afternoon's game, a 20-17 win over theJacksonville Jaguars.[149]
