Miami Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill Hires Legal Dream Team After Disturbing Traffic Stop
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is not backing down after a disturbing encounter with Miami-Dade cops on Sept. 8. In a bold move, Hill has hired a powerhouse team of lawyers, including the attorney who represented George Floyd’s family in 2020.
According to TMZ Sports, Hill’s new legal team consists of Jeffrey A. Neiman, Stephen B. Kelly Jr., and Devon M. Jacob, the latter of whom worked with civil rights attorney Ben Crump in Floyd’s family’s civil case. The decision to bring in such high-profile attorneys underscores the seriousness of the situation.
During the incident outside of Hard Rock Stadium, Hill was accosted, handcuffed, and had an officer’s knee in his back. The athlete is now demanding the termination of Officer Danny Torres, who is currently on administrative leave. Hill’s legal team is not only seeking justice for their client but also pushing for systemic change in law enforcement.
Hill’s attorney, Devon M. Jacob, stated that Hill is committed to continuing the national movement for police reform that was sparked by George Floyd’s death. The wide receiver is calling for Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which aims to hold officers more accountable for their actions.
In response to the incident, the Miami Dolphins expressed their support for Hill, condemning the aggressive behavior of the officers involved. As the case unfolds, all eyes will be on Hill and his legal team as they fight for justice and advocate for meaningful change in policing practices.
