“It has now been 24 hours since Tyreek Hill was stopped and handcuffed and the @MiamiDadePD is still refusing to release the body cam video. If @MayorDaniella and the Police Director claim to want transparency then they should release the video immediately @CBSMiami
The longer they refuse to release the body cam video then the public will wonder what they are hiding.
@MiamiDadePD has long used the Internal Affairs process to hide their misdeeds. There is no reason they should withhold the video while the IA investigation continues. @CBSMiami”
The Miami-Dade PD has already announced an investigation into the arrest while putting one of the officers on administrative duties.
Hill is currently considering his legal options against the Miami-Dade PD.
