Tyreek Hill admitted Wednesday that he “could have been better” in the incident that occurred outside Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday, when he was arrested before of the Dolphins’ season opener.

The great Dolphins receiver met with the media prior of Thursday’s game against the Bills and discussed the incident with Miami-Dade police officers, one of whom he requested be fired.

“My entire existence is about accountability; how can I improve? Right now, I have family members who are officers, and we’ve talked. “Yes, I will admit I could have done better,” Hill stated at a press conference. “I could have rolled down my window in that moment, but the thing about me is, dude, I don’t want attention, I don’t want cameras and phones on you in that moment, but at the end of the day, I’m human, and I have to follow rules and do what everyone else would do.

“Does that give them the right to physically beat the dog out of me? Absolutely not, but at the end of the day, I wish I had done things differently.”

Hill, 30, was pulled over on his way to the Dolphins’ Week 1 game against the Jaguars this past weekend.

In bodycam footage published Monday, officers approached Hill’s vehicle and tapped on his window, prompting the eight-time Pro Bowler to exclaim, “Hey, don’t knock on my window like that.”

Hill was then told to get out of his car, and when one officer unlocked the door, he was yanked from his seat and brought to the ground, resting on his stomach while being handcuffed.

Miami Dade police said Sunday that the event is under “immediate review,” and that 27-year veteran Danny Torres has been assigned administrative duties as a result of the ordeal.

“We are saddened by the overly aggressive and violent conduct directed towards Tyreek Hill, Calais Campbell, and Jonnu Smith by police officers before yesterday’s game,” the Dolphins wrote in a statement Monday, referring to Hill’s teammates who were there at the situation.

“It is both maddening and heartbreaking to watch the very people we trust to protect our community use such unnecessary force and hostility towards these players, yet it is also a reminder that not every situation like this ends in peace, as we are grateful this one did.”

In a statement made through his counsel, Hill advocated for Torres’ termination following the incident.

“A law enforcement official’s actions are governed by standard operating procedures. We believe that the officers’ use of force was excessive, escalating, and irresponsible. “We are demanding that the officer be terminated immediately,” Hill stated on Tuesday through attorney Julius B. Collins.
