Rosenhaus: Officers who detained Hill should be fired | Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz | NBC Sports

days because when Jeff Darlington was on with us, I was saying to Darlington. We all know, Clay is Campbell all of us, know him. He is a gentle giant and Darlington was quick in that moment to say, well, you don't know when all of that is coming towards you A giant man, you don't know any of that. And so someone in a Certain situation might find that extra threatening someone of that size. So, I want to make the clarification from back there where I'm saying, well, I know this person, it's hard for me to imagine that person being the in kind of enraged since we've known him since college that that would be the kind of threatening that it might look like originally, the cops did not know who to wreak Hill was there's no way they'd know who Clay is Campbell or general Smith is well. But Tyree killed. Might not look like a football player. There's no there. There is no. Understanding that Clay is Campbell. Looks like someone who could play football. So, Drew Rosenhaus is with us now and it's been a long time since I've talked to Drew and I saw him sweaty in the middle of the field, all of that looked uncomfortable. And also a position that Drew Rosenhaus has been in a few times in front of cameras. So he joins us now and Drew, thank you for joining us. What can you tell us? You know now that you didn't know when you were talking to the media, right? Right before the game. Well II, am I admire? What Tyreke is is doing right now guys. He's in the process of trying to organize a forum discussion with the chief of police of Miami-Dade anyone else here in South Florida, that wants to get involved, Tyreke is said to me as traumatic as an event is this was he wants to take this negative and try to Turning into a positive. We talked about all the things that athletes have tried to do over the years, like Colin Kaepernick and and others and see this type of treatment, continue to happen. He's going to take a different tact here and try to meet with some leaders to bring people together to follow the, you know, the rules, the way that Terry said the rule book What police are trained to do. That wasn't the case on Sunday. So, Tyreke is adamant about being an agent for Change and talking to the Dolphins. The NFL Troy Vincent, the senior vice president of the NFL, the players Coalition, the nflpa everyone is behind Tyreke and there's just a lot of momentum right now to turn this into an example of how we can take a negative and turn into a positive. You were careful in the moment not to make any allegations. And what you're saying is that going forward, none will be made because everyone here is trying to now deescalate this and turn it into a teaching moment versus saying any one of the things that could be Said here about a black man being handled poorly by police. I think number one, Dan. There's no question that Tyreke wants to improve relationships between the police and society, and to see this type of thing happening in particular with black people and non black, or Latino or white police officers. This is not not unfortunately something that is new but he does want to be an agent of change now, that's not taking things off the table by looking at discipline the police officers that were involved here in violating Tyreke and the way that they treated him and Clay's Campbell and John knew and there may be litigation in a whole other slew things, but for now Tyreke is Focused on trying to rather than necessarily protest is much as try to work together with the police, to get this on the right track. Moving forward. I was amazed after everything that those officers didn't I read. He went out of his way to try and shake their hand. Before he left the scene to go into the stadium, he literally said to them, I want to be a police officer. One day. I respect law enforcement. This isn't how it should be done. Let's feed better, I was with him when he said those things, he showed a lot of poise and I think he really wants to carry that message moving forward, but it was the reason I was sweating like that is I was running. Frantically around the stadium to get to him. My client, Johnny Smith called me and said drew. The cops are beating on Tyreke. They're choking him. They're kicking him. They've got him on the ground in handcuffs. I mean, you want to talk about anxiety, pain frustration? It was a nightmare. And then all this videos out there, there's zero narrative about what happened at Tyree. So, I was hustling to talk to as many people as I could before the game to get the message out that Tyree did nothing. Wrong, glaze Campbell, did nothing wrong and the police involved here were way out of hand. Drew does Tyreek have any regrets about the situation? I have not. I can't speak for Tyreke, but from my perspective, I don't think he should. I don't believe when you look at the video and I talked to Tyreke about this that his conduct in any way, merited, any type of physical Force to put him in handcuffs to yank him, out of the car. I mean, how about a little respect, give him a ticket if you thought it was a moving violation, give him the ticket but handcuffs and And, you know, the way they kicked him in, hit on, then the Chokehold that was mind-boggling for him to have regrets. He's absolutely the last person that should be regretful. The police officers involved, should regret this and hopefully people are learning from this around the world on how to not be in law enforcement. That's a lesson on what not. Do and how to treat people the wrong way Drew. How did we get to the handshakes? What stopped all of this from happening? What's happening? In the middle here that we don't have access to that gets to the handshakes? Well it's a Tyrese Freddie. I was with Tyree true Brooks the Dolphins head of security Brandon sure the Dolphins vice president. Tyrese grandparents Herman and Virginia Hill were there we you know Tyree just settle down and showed a lot of poise and maturity. It was his call to reach out to those officers. To tell them to be better moving forward. I drew this could have been so much worse. Tyree could have been injured and seriously injured and and unbelievably. He not only played, but was the star of the game with that 80-yard touchdown, catch to make clear, might litigation still happen. Is that still on the table? Solutely? Absolutely Tyreke as his attorneys involved that are looking at this to see if that is appropriate. A lot of people have reached out. Him indicating that. This is, this is something that potentially should Merit litigation. That is something that will be determined in the future. But Greg, I want to go back to your point. I literally just hung up the phone with Tyreke a few minutes ago, and he made the point that you did. It could have been so much worse. He said he could have been shot. He could have been killed. Thank God. He didn't resist. God, he didn't fight back. Thank God. He handled it with the maturity asking for professionals to help him and he kept his toys. But what if he didn't, this could have been absolutely disastrous when he see the way these officers were treating them. Drew. What's absolutely feared for his life. What information do you have today that you didn't have when you were talking to the Press? What have you since learned? When did you get access to the body? Cam video, that confirmed, or refuted any things that you thought before you saw it? Well, I mean when I got there Tyreke was still in handcuffs, but it was after all this violent stuff, otherwise die. Probably would have been arrested as well because I would have jumped into The Fray here. This is just mind-boggling, just like hilarious. And John who did I got there at the kill and where he was still in handcuffs and went over in the police were trying to push me away. What do I know now? Looking at all the body cam footage, it's absolutely sickening and tyriq himself didn't realize even going through it. How terrible it was he told me he just couldn't believe This is the kind of thing that you see happening to somebody else. And what if he wasn't Tyreke, what if his director of security, Drew Brooks, wasn't there? What if I wasn't there at the scene? Who knows what this could have turned into? ght? So what, what are you walking into Drew? You've got all the police officers there. Your receiver. Your client is still in handcuffs. This is before the handshakes and his grandparents are there my brother Jason and my partner said to me Drew, don't get arrested. He knew I was very emotional and I was extremely upset but fortunately, by the time I got there, the officers Had calmed down to the extent. That Tyreke was withdrew Brooks. He was, they've just had led him out of handcuffs. Tyreke was very poised but to say that everybody who cared about Tyreke was enraged and livid including his grandparents, his pregnant wife who was at the stadium. This was just absolutely I've been in NFL agent guys for In years, I've never been involved with something like this as mind-boggling a player. It's just trying to get to his home stadium, to do his job. That's all he was trying to do and that's basically what he said to the police. When they ripped him out of the car, he was just trying to explain what he was doing and why he allegedly was in a hurry, he had a job to do and he had a game to play. Mind-boggling. We're you know, Tyreke and I were were still talking this morning about how shocking. This is even 48 hours later. You say no regrets was he driving too fast or recklessly? Not that I'm aware of. He says he wasn't. It's kind of hard to do that in traffic. You know, you look at where he got pulled over, but I wasn't an eyewitness to that. Quite frankly. We were, we were just, you know, relieved, that after all of this, he got a speeding, you know, basically, a speeding ticket, a reckless driving ticket and a ticket for driving without a seat belt. We were concerned, the police would try, To keep them away or take him into custody. We were quite honestly, very relieved and we'll get that stuff taken care of. But I obviously if he was that certainly did not marry that type of outrageous conduct. And I know that almost everybody agrees with this sentiment Tyreke did nothing that deserved the beating that he got and the physical treatment, much less Coleus and jaanu on top of that Drew. And it's heartbreaking. Drew in the aftermath of this when everything was settling down at the scene and you were perhaps in the company of the police officers. Did you hear anything from them? That sounded like apology or regret or we overreacted or we didn't know who was anything like that? Greg, I can tell you that the dolphin security, which is made up of either retired, police officers or off-duty, police officers were just appalled, by the way, Tyreke was treated. I was at Monday Night Football last night in San Francisco. And I can't tell you how many the police officers there came up to me and said, hey, this isn't how we do things, this is not something we're proud of this is The this is not the norm these guys were way out of line, but none of the police officers involved there, showed any remorse or apologetic, but our goal is to make sure that they are in the near future that they are disciplined for the people that police officers. There that kicked him that put him in a choke. Hold that ripped. Mm, out of the car. That's threw them on the ground that put their knee on. On them, we want those officers to be disciplined and to make sure that they never do that again to anybody else who doesn't actually deserve that type of treatment. What is the discipline you want? For me personally, I think that police officers that they did that to Tyree shouldn't be in that position. They should be let go look at the guy that just kicked him right there. That guy should be fired. That's out of control. The guy that guy that jumped and put him in a Chokehold. There's no place for a police officer to have a badge that operates like that when Tyreke wasn't being aggressive or violent or fighting back. Any capacity. Well you know that was horrendous how they treated didn't treat him like a human being. This time is no place for police officers to be on the force. Drew, I agree with that does Tyreke agree with you though. Of course, he wants them fire. You think they should be fired? Well I'll let Tyreke speak to that. That's, that's my opinion. He and I have not had that specific discussion, but certainly, I would recommend to Tyreke and the legal team that that's something that we pursue, you know, I think he deserves an apology from each and every one of those police officers involved and the ones that abuse their Authority and power should not be on the force in my opinion. Moving forward. What do you say to anyone? Who says that time, Eric Hill has to initially, be more submissive in that spot. And just simply follow orders regarding his window based upon my discussions with Tyreke and the video and everything that I've seen. That's very clear that Tyreke was submissive that he was cooperating, and to the extent that the police officers didn't feel that, he was his conduct, by no means, warranted the extreme, Action that they they they did. I mean there's look at it mean, who's conversation there? What do I have to do? Give me a ticket. I mean, he's a human being. He has the right to have these discussions and you know, to me again, Tyreke assuming you don't have to be perfect when you're dealing with the police to not get arrested. I mean, at the end of the day, they yeah. Yank him out of the car. It's absolutely, he's got rights, he's trying to get a hold of the team security, director myself. And look at this, they react them out of the car, throw them down. I mean for what have a little bit of patience, what does it take a minute or two to communicate? He's obviously not a threat. There's no instance, you got to put your knee on his hand right there. Tyrese bendy. Dealing with a wrist injury, a sore knee. This guy right there. That's that's just unnecessary, he's not fighting back and then they harassed him. They called him a crybaby. Look at Tyreke, he just said, I had surgery on my knee. He had a procedure. He had some injections, this offseason Peter p, and this is how they treated God. I mean, what if it wasn't a world-class athlete. And here's my client is on the phone with me. There, beating on Tyreke, I'm on the other line there and there were about to arrest him. I mean, that's a that's absolutely, have a little bit of awareness. These are Dolphin players that are trying to do their job. We're at the stadium. Your police officer. John is trying to calm the situation down and so is Coleus. You don't have the Poise as a police officer to recognize that Tyree kill and Clay's Campbell how about a little bit of communication. What happened? We can't just talk things out. You got a suddenly throw a black athlete, or a black person, and a nice car. You got to throw him to the ground and beat on them. That's absurd Drew you know South Florida. You know Miami. They want the answer to one. Question is the you back the answers? Yes, this is a talented football team. You're going to have a great season. All right, Drew. Good seeing good. Seeing you under weird circumstances, thank you, sir. Appreciate the time. I know you're very busy right now. Take care, guys.
