Looked like he was on his way into the stadium.

Sounds like some over zealous traffic cops, video of them putting him on the ground in handcuffs with one officer with his knee on his back and another comes over and kicks him, all this for reportedly speeding? Sounds like completely unnecessary action to take right in front of the stadium in front of fans coming to the stadium.

I thought the same, seemed excessive to me...But context is everything, so I'll wait to learn more.

That's what's been reported and I would bet anything it was more then a simple "moving violation." Probably more like excessive speed or reckless driving, which are both arrestable offenses. Let's also not forget that Hill isn't the most prestine citizen and has a checkered history. Just food for thought before everyone piles on the cops with no context outside of a ten second video clip

Now one of the cops involved has been put on "administrative leave". Can't tell if that means this is going to be a whitewash or a scapegoating. Could go either way depending on what Hill was stopped for and/or how out of line the cops got.

Just as I suspected, he was arrested for reckless driving and cited and released on scene. Don't let his agent or the media blow smoke up your asses that this was just a simple "moving violation." He was pulled over for driving like a jackass, got mouthy with the cops upon being pulled over, and was put in handcuffs and arrested.

How does a situation get to the point of a guy being handcuffed for getting out of line with the officers... and he gets ticketed and released on site? if its to the point that he needed to be restrained, then there should be more than a moving violation on the books.

To the best of my knowledge reckless driving is a arrestable misdemeanor offense in most states, so he was arrestable immediately upon being pulled over. The fact that he got mouthy with the cops upon being pulled over likely solidified his position of being placed face down in handcuffs. The cops were more then accommodating releasing his ass on scene with a citation instead of hauling him to jail (which they could have done) and likely missing the game. None of this happens if not for the behavior of Hill first by driving recklessly and second by getting mouthy and uncooperative upon being pulled over. You won't hear any of that from the media though or Rosenhaus trying to spin it as a "simple moving violation."

So it was okay for them to have him on the ground with a knee in his back and then have another cop come over and kick him.  If that was Dan Marino, regardless if he mouthed off, they would have taken pics with him and he would have been on his way.  I have been through some of the worse gang areas in LA and have seen what cops deal with daily, so I am very pro police, however there are some bad seeds just as there are in every profession and it certainly seemed the actions here were influenced more than just a moving violation and some talking back.

Was there a kick? I didn't see one, but if there was...pretty sure it would have been the lead in the story, "Hill kicked by cops for moving violation." I didn't see anything to that effect and the media never misses an opportunity to stir the cops beat "innocent" black man narrative.

is there video? in this day and age its hard to believe something happened without video evidence.

There is a whole lot of video out there so I bet they are doing everything they can to get things sorted out. The handcuffs seemed excessive for reckless driving if it's just speeding

We may not know the real situation, but no reason to do what the police did.
Give him his ticket, tell him to drive responsibly, (respecting his, and the lives of others) - have a nice day.

DONE.

Was Hill late, pissed off, mouthy - probably...
Unfortunately "That's the job" for cops, don't escalate the situation.

"Respect my Authoritah"

speed with a lot of other potential issues, its not like he was on a wide open highway with nobody around and decided to blow the carbon out. He was near an NFL stadium a few hours prior to game time, you've been around the Dome and USB enough to know that is not the time or place to be driving like an idiot. I have read that he was "not immediately cooperative with authorities" I am not going to say the cops were justified in what they did.. but I am not going to assume that Hill didnt deserve what he got, without further information.

WPTV is a West Palm Beach TV station.

I looked it up and reckless driving is an arrestable misdemeanor offense in Florida and he was driving at excessive speed without due regard for the community. You have a misdemeanor offense being committed in the presence of a Police Officer. I wish the cops would just come out and say it for what it was, Hill was arrested and cited and released on scene for the offense. The actions of Hill caused the situation and escalated the situation to what we saw in the video clip. He probably talked himself into those cuffs and when he refused to sit down, he was made to sit down. Don't feel sorry for this guy. Great football player, not a great person, and certainly not his first brush with the law.
