The Florida officer investigated over Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill’s traffic stop and detainment had been suspended six times previous to their encounter, received several written reprimands, and was at the center of numerous complaints, according to his employee profile.

The Miami-Dade Police Department released the employee profile of officer Danny Torres showing he was suspended for as many as 50 days between 2014 and 2019.

Dolphins defensive lineman Calais Campbell and tight end Jonnu Smith, who were driving by, saw Hill being detained and stopped to help, Hill said.

Campbell ended up getting handcuffed. He said on ESPN’s “First Take” that he was trying to defuse the situation and called one of the officers “extreme.”

Police brutality against people of color in the US continues. Does anyone wonder why NFC Champion QB Colin Kaepernick used to kneel during the National Anthem?

1. Oh please don't suspend him with

pay again, he'll get mad and go home and beat his wife. So tired 😫

17. I thought I read a week ago he had been suspended--and it didn't say without pay.

Usually those asshats go golf for two,three weeks while the pay still rolls in.

2. And he was still a cop?

I suppose because of the cop union---the largest legal gang in the nation.

3. The FOPs endorse trump

for his bigotry and immunity. It's not about law and order. It's about subjugation and control.

13. What I said

The largest legal gang in the country.

4. And he still has his job

The insanely powerful police union I’m sure has nothing to so with this. I’m very much for unions, but the police unions do a lot of very bad work.

18. If they fire him he'll go to a smaller City or Town and they'll make him the Chief.

Look at what happened in Marion,Ks with that POS police chief. He'd been fired in Kansas City and just went west and got a job. Then him and the other thugs raided the newspaper,took cell phones and caused the death of the older woman who owned the paper.

5. Sickening. Fire them all.

6. One bad apple is not ok. It spoils the whole barrel

7. When you watch the video you can see the

"classic" motorcycle cop sort of deal with the muscles and the skin tight uniform and the attitude.

[AZ8theist]

8. After watching the video, is ANYBODY surprised this guy is a BAD COP?

[Miguelito Loveless]

9. No matter how bad the cop

Departments keep them. ACAB.

10. Believe the video shows 4 motorcycles

That means there was 3 other cops who didn't tell the bad cop to control himself and act professional.
Reminds me of the George Floyd incident.

11. The bad cop needed to remind Hill of his place.

You may have more money than me but this is America boy.

12. the pocketbook, the pocketbook

The Dolphins pay Miami-Dade a great deal of money for traffic and stadium security.
Maybe it is time to hire independent security to do that job.
There should be consequences and $ is one of the greatest.

14. My Time.

I stand for the flag and the Anthem because I honor the original intent of the Founding Fathers, but that does not mean I can't understand the reasons why POC are sincerely disappointed in the present state of our country. In so many ways, traffic stops, police investigations, buying a house, being followed in stores, and more, much more, my country has failed to live up to its and its purpose for being and its message. I will still stand for the flag and the Anthem, but not without a certain sadness that so much could be better.

15. I used to LOVE watching "CHiPS" in the late 1970s. I fantasized about being

a motorcycle cop in the 1980s during high school.

By the time of Rodney King, the allure and luster were gone.

I'm sure most of those police officers weren't 'motorcycle cops', but I began to lump them all in as one and the same. Car or motorcycle. Same thing to me by then.

16. My oldest brother went that route.

He started in the local city PD then moved to the California Highway Patrol, then onto the motorcycle corps....and being Mexican it was classic "Ponch"....but the misogyny in the ranks among other things ruined his marriage. He is gone now, and I did love him, but whole "cop" thing was a sore point between us.
