Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins was handcuffed and placed face down on a street outside the team's stadium after he was stopped for speeding and reckless driving Sunday morning before the Dolphins' first game of the season, an incident that left the star wide receiver baffled and resulted in a police officer being placed on administrative leave.

00:00Right now, so I've been trying to figure that out too.
00:05I've been trying to figure that out too, man.
00:06Right now I'm still trying to put it all together.
00:10So I'm not gonna give you a version that I still don't know what happened.
00:15You know what I'm saying?
00:16But I do wanna say, I do wanna be able to use this platform to say like,
00:20what if I wasn't Tyreke Hill, bro?
00:21Like worst case scenario, cuz it's crazy.
00:26Like I wanna be a cop one day, I got a state troop, I had all that.
00:29So I got a lot of respect for cops, man.
00:30But obviously, everybody has bad apples in every situation.
00:37So I wanna be able to use this platform to figure out a way to flip this and
00:45make it a positive on both ends, on my end and then also Miami-Dade.
00:51How do you believe for the police going to do anything else?
00:53I have no idea, for real, no idea, no idea, man.
00:59It's crazy, no idea.
01:00I wasn't disrespectful, cuz my mom didn't raise me that way.
01:07Didn't cuss, didn't do none of that.
01:09So like I said, I'm still trying to figure it out, man.
01:12I guess the police officer was put on administrative leave.
01:15Were you aware of that?
01:16Nah, I wasn't, I wasn't.
01:19I should tell you everything you need to know then.
01:20What if I wasn't Tyreke Hill?
01:22Lord knows what that guy or guys would have did, you feel me?
01:26And I was just making sure that I was doing what my uncle always told me to do
01:31whenever you were in a situation like that, just listen.
01:36Put your hands on the steering wheel, just listen.
01:38So gotta be careful, man.
01:41Did an officer put hands on you when you were in handcuffs?
01:44Yeah.
01:46What was going through your head during that moment?
01:49I don't know, I was thinking about something else.
01:50What was I thinking about?
01:51I was thinking about going for like 150 today, for real.
01:54I was on the way, I was like, man, I'm gonna go crazy today, man, you feel me?
01:58Then all that happened, and I'm like, hold on, this happening?
02:02So what happened?
02:04It happened so fast that it caught me off guard, you feel me?
02:07Cuz I'm like, dang, they really doing this.
