Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is calling for the firing of a Miami-Dade police officer following Sunday's incident in which Hill was detained and handcuffed after a traffic stop.
The lawyer representing Hill, Julius Collins, released a statement on the wideout's behalf demanding the dismissal of the officer who was placed on administrative leave for his actions Sunday.
"Each action that a law enforcement official take(s) is governed by standard operating procedures," Collins' statement read, according to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques. "We are of the opinion that the officer's use of force was excessive, escalating, and reckless. We are demanding that the officer be terminated effective immediately."
