Dramatic bodycam footage has emerged of the moment Dolphins star Tyreek Hill was detained by cops and pinned to the ground near Hard Rock Stadium.

The wide receiver was placed in handcuffs while driving to the Dolphins' season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. 'Take me to jail, brother. Do what you have to do,' Hill told the officers.

Cops could then be heard telling Hill to 'stop crying' after dragging him out of his car and forcing him face down on to the road. 

'When we tell you to do something, you do it. You understand? Not what you want, what we tell you. You're a little f****** confused,' an officer told him.

A Florida police union claimed that Hill was driving dangerously when he was pulled over in Miami on Sunday and that he was cuffed after refusing to cooperate. Hill said he has 'no idea' what sparked his detainment.

Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, claims the receiver was cited for reckless driving and driving without a license. 

On Monday, a remarkable three-minute clip of the scene appeared, with Hill claiming 'it went from 0 to 60 immediately'. He told NBC: 'If I wasn't Tyreek Hill, Lord knows... worst-case scenario, I would have been shot or would have been locked up'.

The Dolphins described the video as 'both maddening and heartbreaking'. The team vowed to stand with Hill and called for 'swift and strong action' against the officers guilty of 'overly aggressive', 'violent' and 'despicable' behavior. 

At the start of the bodycam footage, police approached Hill's car. The receiver appeared to hand over his license before telling the cop to 'do what you got to do.' 

The 30-year-old then put his window up, prompting officers to tap on the car and tell Hill: 'Hey, keep that window down!'

'Keep your window down or I'm going to get you out of the car. As a matter of fact, get out of the car,' one officer told Hill before another warned the receiver: 'We'll break that freaking window.'
