Tyreek Hill's teammate Jalen Ramsey has called for the officers involved in the detainment of the star wide receiver to be fired.
In bodycam footage, the Dolphins wideout could be seen being handled aggressively by the Miami-Dade police. The video was retweeted by Jalen Ramsey, who said:
"FIRE EM IMMEDIATELY! Mfs like them can’t have no type of power, they gotta go!"

In another tweet, the cornerback said:
"That shit is crazy when you look at that body cam footage more than once! I notice some new bullshit every time smh"
Tyreek himself tweeted minutes later that there needs to be a change in the system.
The original video was shared by talk show host, Andrew Slater. In the bodycam video, a police officer asked Tyreek Hill to lower his window. When he refused to do so, the officers forced open the door of his car, yanked him out of it, and pinned him to the ground.
Another officer then proceeded to handcuff Hill's hands behind his back. They then took him to the pavement and asked him to kneel. When Tyreek Hill failed to do so, they forced him down.
While one of the police officers has been placed on administrative leave, an internal investigation will determine to what extent the other officers will be punished.
Mike McDaniel gets emotional talking about Tyreek Hill
While addressing the media's queries, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel spoke about his wideout's detainment hours before the Jacksonville Jaguars game.
He expressed sorrow that he couldn't even sympathize with Tyreek Hill properly because he'd never had to go through such a traumatic experience before.
“It’s been hard to not find myself more upset the more I think about it... The thing that f**ks me up being quite frank is I don’t know exactly what that feels like... Super proud of our guys understanding the civic responsibility of a platform.”
Just hours after the incident, Tyreek Hill played in the Jaguars game. He had seven catches for 130 yards and scored an 80-yard touchdown.
