Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, revealed Hill was arrested due to a traffic violation.
“He got a ticket for a moving violation entering the stadium. How things escalated into the situation that they were in handcuffs and being held on the ground with police is mind-boggling to me.”
"It's a heartbreaking situation… No. 1: He's okay. No. 2: He's gonna play… How things escalated… in handcuffs and being held on the ground with police is mind-boggling to me."

A new video shows a handcuffed Hill being tackled by one of the police officers while he was detained.
This officer seems to have struck a handcuffed (and compliant) Tyreek Hill multiple times.

Unacceptable. Fire this idiot.
