Body cam footage from officers involved in the detaining of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was released Monday.
The three-and-a-half minute video posted by Andy Slater of FOX Sports shows the traffic stop escalate into a physical confrontation Sunday.

The video shows Hill roll down his window and hand what appears to be his license and registration to an officer before rolling his window back up. When the officers knock and tell him to roll his window down, Hill does so after about a 10-15 second delay.
An officer then demands he gets out of the car and reaches inside the car to open the door before pulling Hill out and on the ground. Hill, who is on the phone with “Drew” — presumably, his agent Drew Rosenhaus — says “I’m getting arrested, Drew!”
Later in the video, a handcuffed Hill is forced to the ground while he yells, “I just had surgery on my knee!” to an officer who says, “Really? What a coincidence.”
Two other Dolphins players, Jonnu Smith and Calais Campbell, can be seen arriving on the scene to try to help.
Smith can be heard telling someone on the phone, “They’ve got Tyreek. The cops are over there beating on him, man.”
In another video posted by ESPN’s Jeff Darlington, body cam footage shows Campbell being put in handcuffs for not leaving the scene.

On Sunday afternoon, Miami-Dade Police Department director Stephanie V. Daniels said in a statement that one of the officers involved was placed on administrative leave while the incident is investigated.
