Tyreek Hill's agent, Drew Rosenahus, denounces Miami-Dade police detainment, promises further action
Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill was in the headlines on Sunday after he was detained following a traffic stop.
Hill was placed on the concrete face down and handcuffed, and a video of that went viral on the Internet. Hill was eventually released and went on to play in Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
And while Hill said after the game that he’d like to turn the incident into a positive, he is reportedly considering legal action against the Miami-Dade police. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, also condemned the actions of law enforcement.
“The way that Tyreek was treated today was horrible,” Rosenhaus said on WSVN, according to Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press. “We’re sick about it. So, we’re definitely going to pursue every option we can and this isn’t the last that you’ve heard of it from our perspective, that’s for sure.”

After the game, Tyreek Hill hinted at a more amiable solution.
“Everybody has bad apples in every situation, so I want to be able to use this platform to figure out a way to like flip this and make it a positive on both ends,” Tyreek Hill said. “On my end and also Miami-Dade, so that way we can continue together and do something positive for the community, because that’s what it’s all about, man.
“You guys are here to protect us as individuals, and I have a platform and I want to be able to team up with you guys. That’s all I’ve got to say.”

The talented receiver said he felt “alone” during the incident with police. He also reacted after being informed that an officer had been placed on administrative duties pending a review of the situation.
“That should tell you everything you need to know then,” Tyreek Hill said. “You feel me? It should tell you everything you need to know. So that’s all I’m going to say about that situation.
“I’m just glad my teammates were there to support me in that situation, because I felt alone. When they showed up, it made me realize that we’ve got a fucking good team this year, dawg. For them to put their life on the line, you know what I’m saying. So it was amazing to see, man.”
