Social media can be quite unforgiving when celebrities are involved, and now an alleged cop who handled Tyreek Hill during his detainment is being exposed.
Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill posted a four-word message on social media following the release of the bodycam footage of the officers involved in his detention on Monday.
“Let’s make a change,” he wrote on X.
Fans of his and people who are just outraged about what happened to him certainly have his back because many of them are quite sure they have found at least one officer from the incident.
One of the alleged officers who helped arrest Tyreek Hill has reportedly been identified as:
ALLEGEDLY: this is one of the cops that was abusing his authority on Tyreek Hill, Calais Campbell and Jonnu Smith.
Officer Manuel Batista.

Manuel Batista the cop who attacked Tyreek Hill is part of the Racist Cuban Cop Mafia in Florida whose families came to America for freedom but are racist haters of Black people. Some have African DNA like this scumbag and seek acceptance from whites by brutalizing Black people. pic.twitter.com/AF1YV7Yiu0

Manuel Batista from Miami. Used to work at Walgreens 4 years ago. Now it’s a cop.
It all makes sense. All of it. https://t.co/W1vLXxwiE0

If that is indeed one of the cops, it does not appear to be the unnamed cop who was put on administrative duty.
That officer is said to be a 25-year veteran of the department.
If the information above is true, then the guy above has only been with Miami-Dade County since 2019.
Tyreek Hill was cited for reckless driving after allegedly speeding.
Hours later, he would play in the Week One matchup and caught an 80-yard touchdown, after which he performed a handcuffs celebration by putting his hands behind his back.
The receiver finished with seven catches and 130 yards, per his stats on ESPN.
Police Officer Who Detained Tyreek Hill Placed on Administrative Leave
One of the officers involved in the pregame detainment of Dolphins star Tyreek Hill outside Hard Rock stadium was placed on administrative leave.
The Miami-Dade Police Department began a review of the matter Sunday after the dynamic wideout was drug out of his car and handcuffed on his way to the game against the Jaguars.
“Following the incident involving Tyreek Hill, I have initiated an Internal Affairs investigation to ensure a thorough review of the matter,” MDPD director Stephanie V. Daniels said in a statement.
“One of the officers involved in the incident has been placed on administrative duties while the investigation is conducted.
“I’m committed to transparency and accountability to the community with any situation involving my officers.”
