Ana Navarro has weighed in on the arrest of Tyreek Hill and described it as ‘outrageous and disgusting’ after the Miami Dolphins star was handcuffed and restrained on the ground after being stopped by cops for speeding in his McLaren.

Sharing a video of the bodycam footage of the September 8 incident on her Instagram page, the 52-year-old TV star accused the Miami-Dade police officers of ‘abusing their power’ and called for them to lose their jobs.

Posting the clip to her 792,000 followers, Ana captioned it: ‘This happened in my hometown. This is outrageous and disgusting. It hurts that much more because it is Latinos abusing their power and using it against Blacks.’

 

‘If it can happen to a star @dolphins player driving into the stadium, it can happen to anyone. Shame on them. I want their a**es fired. Now. They are an embarrassment to law enforcement,’ she fumed.

Ana’s fans were quick to comment on the post as one person claimed: ‘The police officers escalated the situation and blew it out of control,’ and a second said: ‘His only crime. DWB. Driving While Black. I am disgusted.’

A third agreed with The View host and commented: ‘Thank you Anna!!!! They need to be fired immediately,’ while a fourth added: ‘Fired and SUED AND Charged with a hate crime.’

Another person asked: ‘Why did so many cops have to stop one car?’ while someone else commented: ‘The police should be trained to de-escalate situations, not to go on power trips. This is a star player from the Miami Dolphins who did absolutely nothing to deserve this treatment. Now imagine our children in a situation like this.’

On Monday, dramatic bodycam footage emerged of the moment Tyreek was detained by cops and pinned to the ground near Hard Rock Stadium.

The wide receiver was placed in handcuffs while driving to the Dolphins’ season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. ‘Take me to jail, brother. Do what you have to do,’ Tyreek told the officers.

Cops could then be heard telling Tyreek to ‘stop crying’ after dragging him out of his car and forcing him face down on to the road.

‘When we tell you to do something, you do it. You understand? Not what you want, what we tell you. You’re a little f***ing confused,’ an officer told him.

A Florida police union claimed that Tyreek was driving dangerously when he was pulled over in Miami on Sunday and that he was cuffed after refusing to cooperate.

However, Tyreek said he had ‘no idea’ what sparked his detainment, while his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, claimed the football player was cited for reckless driving and driving without a license.

Tyreek was soon pinned to the floor and warned: ‘When we tell you to do something, you do it’

Speaking about the incident, Tyreek claimed ‘it went from 0 to 60 immediately’, and told NBC Nightly News: ‘If I wasn’t Tyreek Hill, Lord knows… worst-case scenario, I would have been shot or would have been locked up.’

The Dolphins described the video as ‘both maddening and heartbreaking.’ The team vowed to stand with Tyreek and called for ‘swift and strong action’ against the officers guilty of ‘overly aggressive’, ‘violent’ and ‘despicable’ behavior.

Meanwhile, former cop turned conservative social media influencer Brandon Tatum has revealed that Tyreek made a big mistake during the incident by rolling his windows back up after being stopped.

Brandon pointed at Tyreek rolling up his window in front of police as a problem, saying, ‘You rolled the window down and rolled the window back up. Why you mad at them ’cause you speeding? Roll your window down.’

Discussing the incident in a video on his YouTube channel, Brandon defended the cops in question and accused Tyreek: ‘You lyin’ to the world. Now the body-worn camera [footage] came out, “I don’t have no idea why they put me in handcuffs” – the cop told you.

‘He actually warned you, then he told you, “Imma pull you out of the car, keep the window down.” Why are you rolling the window up?’ Brandon continued.

‘That’s an officer safety issue. They don’t know this man. He could be pulling a g*n out. Keep the window down. They asked you a simple question. You’re the one at fault, not them.’

Tyreek told CNN that the reason he rolled his window back up was so that bystanders did not recognize him as the whole affair was going down.

Tyreek was eventually released and went on to play on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars

‘I’m not trying to cause a scene because if I let me window down, people walking by and driving by they’re going to know that it’s me and they’re going to start taking pictures,’ he said.

‘I didn’t want to create a scene at all. I just really wanted to get the ticket and then go on my way and have a great Sunday.’

Following the incident, Miami-Dade Police Director Stephanie Daniels announced on Sunday that she had ordered an internal affairs investigation and that one of the officers involved had been placed on administrative duties pending the outcome.

‘We are aware of the recent detainment of Miami Dolphins player Tyreek Hill by Miami-Dade Police Department officers,’ she said in a statement.

‘I have requested an immediate review of all details surrounding the incident, and we are also reviewing available body camera footage. We will provide updates as further information becomes available.’

‘I’m committed to transparency and accountability to the community with any situation involving my officers,’ Daniels added.

At least one of the officers who detained Tyreek did not know who the wide receiver was – with another cop having to inform him.
