The Untold Story Behind Tyreek Hill's Dropped Charges After Two Months

It is not every day that an NFL player gets arrested for breaking a law but when it does happen, it sure attracts a lot of controversy. Unfortunately, Tyreek Hill, the wide receiver of the Miami Dolphins had been a recent victim when he was arrested 2 months ago. Hill has received acclaim for his exceptional skills on the field but this one event changed the whole course of his life. Even though he has the support of his fans and team, these few months have been very tough for him emotionally.
One fine evening, two months ago, Tyreek Hill was on his way and was outside of Miami's Hard Rock Stadium when was pulled over for not wearing a seatbelt. Hill thought it was a regular intervention but soon he was proved wrong when he was arrested.
What made this arrest all the more disturbing was the bodycam footage that emerged soon after. The video showed Hill being treated in a way many found disturbing. Where the situation began as a minor violation, the footage captured police officers handling him roughly and even forcing him to the ground. Hill was never seen to look the slightest bit anxious over his ordeal, and was actually dealt with much more aggressively than one would have thought warranted

After two months of trials, the charges were dropped in favour of Hill. After some scrutiny of the arrest, following the viewing of the footage from the body camera in question, it had to be done. He maintained his case that he was treated towards no extent of necessity with his rights being violated during such a procedure. With facts and public outcry into his treatment, it ended there in the dismissal of the charge.

Even after the case had been closed, the fallout persisted. There were many on social media and in the general public who felt that law enforcement handled Hill poorly. The incident caused a conversation about how people, especially public figures, are sometimes treated by the police in routine encounters. Hill, has kept a relatively low profile since the incident occurred, but the incident certainly does leave people questioning police behaviour even in apparently minor situations.
