Miami, Sept 11 V7N - On September 11, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has demanded the firing of a Miami-Dade police officer involved in his detainment during a traffic stop on Sunday. Hill's lawyer, Julius Collins, released a statement asserting that the officer's actions were excessive and reckless, calling for immediate termination.The officer under investigation, identified as Danny Torres, has been with the department for 27 years and is currently on administrative leave while the Internal Affairs investigation is ongoing.

The Miami-Dade Police Department stated they would provide updates as the investigation progresses.Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, echoed the call for Torres's dismissal, criticizing the treatment Hill received during the incident. Body camera footage shows officers forcibly removing Hill from his car after he initially refused to roll down his windows fully.

Hill was handcuffed and placed on the ground, which Rosenhaus described as an unacceptable use of force, especially since Hill was not being aggressive.The officer's legal representatives have requested his reinstatement and support the Miami-Dade Police Department's review of the incident.

They stated that Torres would not comment further until the investigation concludes.Hill, who received citations for reckless driving and driving without a license, is scheduled to speak publicly for the first time since the incident.

He was pulled over just blocks from Hard Rock Stadium, where he later played in the Dolphins' game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.The incident has drawn significant attention, with the Dolphins organization issuing a strong statement condemning the police actions and emphasizing the need for accountability.

Hill's teammate, Calais Campbell, was also detained while trying to assist Hill but did not receive a citation.As the situation unfolds, both Hill and the Dolphins are advocating for a thorough investigation into the conduct of the officers involved.
