Fans labeled the Miami Dade Police Department racist after Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was detained on his way to their season opener at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Hill was a block away from Hard Rock Stadium when he was pulled over and handcuffed with his face down.
After a clip of a police officer seemingly charging at Hill and hitting him during his detention, X users immediately called them out on the excessive force used during what was labeled a ‘minor’ traffic offense.
‘Why they do him like that ??? that my question cause he black,’ one user wrote.
‘Racist cops tried to arrest Tyreek Hill,’ another added. ‘That’s some bulls***.’

‘@MiamiDadePD y’all got some explaining to do for the racist shit your cops pulled with Tyreek Hill this morning,’ a third wrote. ‘Clearly at least one of your officers thought he was an easy target as a black man with a nice car. Racist much? If there is no accountability then expect @CivilRights.’
A fourth fan chimed in and wrote: ‘Tyreek Hill is going to have monster game today after some racist cops arrested him before the Dolphins game today.’
