The Dolphins' statement in support of Tyreek Hill called out law enforcement to create change.
The Miami Dolphins also put out a statement on Monday evening in support of Hill. The wording of the Dolphins's statement is very strong considering this is an NFL team addressing law enforcement. Maybe even surprisingly so as they called the police's actions towards Hill and teammates Calais Campbell and Jonnu Smith aggressive, violent, maddening, and heartbreaking.
However, as is on full display in the videos released tonight, there are some officers who mistake their responsibility and commitment to serve with misguided power. While we commend MDPD for taking the right and necessary action to quickly release this footage, we also urge them to take equally swift and strong action against the officers who engaged in such despicable behavior."Stephen Douglas is a Senior Writer on the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated.
