Tyreek Hill continues to speak out regarding his incident with police on Sunday.
Before the Dolphins’ home opener, Hill was detained outside of Dolphins stadium during a traffic stop.
Body cam footage showed police dragging Hill out of the car after continuously asking him to keep his window down.

On Wednesday, Hill admitted that he should have probably kept his window down but insisted that the police used unnecessary force for a traffic stop.
“Yes, I could have been better. I could have let down my window in that instance,” Hill says.
“Now, does that give them the right to literally beat the dog out of me? Absolutely not.”

In a statement, Hill’s lawyers asked for the officer to be terminated.
“We are demanding for the immediate termination of the officer that has been placed on administrative leave,” the statement reads.
“We are of the opinion that the officer’s use of force was excessive, escalating, and reckless. We are demanding that the officer be terminated effective immediately.”
Hill went on to tell the media that he wanted the officer “gone” for not only treating him badly but also for disrespecting his teammates trying to help him.

“Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone. He got to go. Not only did he treat me bad, but he also treated my teammates with disrespect, had crazy words toward them and they didn’t even do [anything]. He got to go man.”
The officer in question has been put on administrative leave while he’s being investigated by the Miami-Dade police department, and Hill is currently considering his legal options.
Tyreek Hill strongly and repeatedly calls for the firing of the officer who pulled him out of the car and pushed him to the ground — the same officer who approached his teammates. Here’s the video: pic.twitter.com/9XYUKGh84Z
