A retired Miami-Dade police officer who was involved in the controversial 2024 detention of Tyreek Hill celebrated the wide receiver’s release from the Miami Dolphins, calling it “karma” in a scathing Facebook post.
Danny Torres, the officer who pulled Hill from his sports car during a traffic stop outside Hard Rock Stadium in September 2024, wrote that Hill was “an entitled ASSHOLE and an embarrassment to the team and city.” Torres added, “I wish you the best and hope you are able to afford ALL that child support, especially now that you’re unemployed.”
I know this is Tyreek Hill so it’s more amplified but the aggressiveness and ego tripping of cops isn’t unusual. This should have been a ticket and move on but clearly a couple of those cops have massive anger and insecurity issues. pic.twitter.com/tcmv4StVLa

The post came a day after the Dolphins announced Hill’s release on Feb. 16, 2026, as part of a major roster overhaul under new leadership. The move saves Miami approximately $22.8 million in salary cap space but incurs about $28 million in dead money. Hill, who turns 32 on March 1, is recovering from a dislocated knee and torn ACL suffered during the 2025 season.
Hill, an eight-time Pro Bowl selection, joined the Dolphins in a blockbuster trade from the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022. During his four seasons in Miami, he amassed over 5,000 receiving yards and helped the team reach the playoffs twice, though the Dolphins failed to win a postseason game. Following his release, Hill becomes a free agent and has vowed to return to the field in 2026.
Torres’ comments stem from the Sept. 8, 2024, incident when Hill was pulled over for speeding and reckless driving en route to a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Body camera footage showed officers ordering Hill to lower his window, leading to him being dragged from his McLaren and forced to the ground in handcuffs. Hill was detained briefly and cited for reckless driving before being released; he played in the game that day.
The encounter drew widespread scrutiny, with Hill and his representatives accusing officers of excessive force. Torres was placed on administrative duty following an internal review and later retired. In a follow-up statement, Torres said he stands by his post, claiming Hill “destroyed me and my reputation” during the fallout.
As you can see Torres has taken no accountability for the assault he committed on Hill. Hill is no angel, but the video was clear who was in the wrong, and it wasn’t Hill.
Hill has not publicly responded to Torres’ remarks. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said Hill is “progressing well” in rehabilitation and expects to sign with a new team soon. Speculation has linked Hill to potential reunions with the Chiefs or moves to teams like the Buffalo Bills.
